Renaldok Wing Cape  

 

Certainly not a common drop, I was lucky enough to get the cape to drop after about 10-12 cycles of all the named.

Dropped last night for me. First try, sorry

I have soloed this castle for 40+ hours now and that is 40 trilexior spawns .. I have not ever seen this drop, matter of fact he drops gems only for me, nothing else and this is after 40 tries. either my luck is horrible or the common drop rate is BS.

P.S. i was just reading the posts below and noticed a few questions i can answer. This castle has 3 floors. There is a named on each floor and one wanderer who flys between all the floors. trilexior is on the top floor. There is another way to get to him ..) which i have discovered. if you walk to the back of the castle you will find a balcony that you can walk onto if you have lev. there are 2 easy vamps there and trilexior is wandering, so be careful.
HAPPY HUNTING

That was the combo we used last night when it dropped. He is a long standing friend of mine in game and we seem to have a knack of doing things without saying a word. YES, the fights were a little long at times, I would not advise pets with the wander effect.

I had NO problem slowing them at all. Did not once see them try to gate either. By the end of the fight, I was FM and the Warrior was FH.

End of the day, YES it is a long fight, yes you can get adds without a big group so be careful. Lotta nice drops though including Blue Diamonds. I will be going back there time and again, exp still decent at 56 also.

Also forgot to mention. If you are lower than 25, you do NOT get the stats either. They are also watered down.

Having seen one of these bad boys drop he first time i was at the castle i vowed i would hunt there till i got another (lost the first roll). After several weeks of casual hunting there with myself (58 necro), a 58 cleric, 54 monk and 51 bard we finally saw another. Lucky me! An hour later Trix droped a 2nd! Very lucky me! I think its very likely one of the rarest drops, Aside from the gear off the rare names spawn. Lots of great gear drops off these vamps, and a very reasonable group can hunt here. Wish there were more places like this.

Yes, after only three days of camping here, my group was lucky enough to get this drop, and I was the lucky fool that won the roll.
It's probably hands down one of the best cloaks in the game for INT casters. In fact, the chanter I was with said that it's stats looked too uber for where we got it.
My group consisted of myself (54 wiz), a 56th cleric and a 55th chanter. Also got a ton of general capes and boots, a coupe blue diamonds, two Bloodweave bracers, a pair of bloodweave gloves and a diamond or two. Thats just what I got. EXP is awesome, and I'd say risk vs. reward is very well balanced here.
It's damn dangerous to hunt here below 50, and i'd say this is the place for casters to take over and put the melees in the closet. With the vamp procs, you'll spend too much mana on heals than you will on damage. I think that's why the Cleric in my group loved hunting here so much; She could finally nuke next to a wizard instead of running around healing. Although she did heal from time to time, mostly our fights consisted of the Chanter yelling NUKE! and then he'd mez. Worked like a charm.

I've hunted extensively here...and still not seen this cloak drop. :( ANyways, what I'm wondering, is why is Trixie wearing the Renaldok wing cape? Shouldn't it come off of Renaldok? Did Trixie kill him once and get the cape off of him?

Hey.

I came across this, from the search page. (I vaguely recall seeing it, when it was originally posted.) I saw the +8INT and level to attain and decided it was well worth a closer look. (I hadn't even noticed the +mana!) Level to attain is sometimes a little out, but if the level to attain was L25, it seemed likely I could get one solo at L44.

Clearly the level to attain is... Well, not entirely accurate. So, it'll be quite some time, before I can get my grubby mitts on one of these. However, this leads to another line of thought...

The recommended level for an item has to be designed to limit it's twinkage value. However, other posts state that this only effects the AC of the item. Surely that being the case, the recommended level has basically no effect here.

Realistically, would anyone care that they're not getting the full AC? I'd take this without any AC and never complain! In real terms, +9AC isn't going to make enough difference for anyone to care, surely.

Anyhow, this was just my thought. It's helping me get over the dissapointment that I can't get one of these. (I should go check out the titan samples quest, in Erudin and see how that goes. :))

See ya in Norrath.

AlAaraaf.

I'll echo Mortala's statement, these mobs are serious. If they are 45 as some claim they are one of the greatest mis-cons I've ever ran across. I've killed with a 60 Shaman and 59 Monk with epic and it was a very long fight. Was there again last night with same combo along with a 59 warrior. With that kind of power it wasn't as dangerous but it took a very long time to kill and with lower groups doing less damage and taking longer to kill, it'd be hard to survive the entire fight with as many heals as are necessary.

A few things:

-Very high magic resist. Only way I landed a turgur's is after Malo.

-Insanely high ac. Monk was using fist/SoM and hitting for 12-18 almost the entire time. Warrior also using low damage 1h weapons was having a hard time doing any damage. Swapped out 1h's on both characters for high damage 2h weaps and started breaking through the ac more reliably.

-Cannot root or snare as others have mentioned.

-The caster ones are very tough. I had MR and FR up to 140 a piece on 59 warrior and I was still getting hit for up to 500 sometimes. They will also attempt to gate at low health though I've stopped them everytime so far.

-Don't expect to get a drop right away. Most of the time they drop gems, jewelry or nothing. The drops are very rare.

A level 60 duo of healer/tank can do these fairly easy, just takes awhile. Without slow it would be tough but doable so long as you resisted a good portion of what was cast. Also not all are casters, Gorilak or whatever his name is was a warrior when we fought him. Casted no spells but had more hps than the others.

Goes without saying to be very careful with these guys. And if you can't do damage fast enough when they run they will train you to other coteries if they're up.

Note that this is not no drop. The recommended level is just the point at which you get the full ac of the item. if a caster of lower level puts this on, they get the stats but not the full ac. Basically, they seem to be trying to reduce the number of fully twinked level one characters out there. Of course, I'd put this on my lvl 7 enchanter, even if the ac was zero, since I'd still get the stats. I could replace both my earrings with orc fangs, and come out ahead on ac, hp and int, and 80 extra mana, wow. Or just keep my golden ear studs since I really don't melee too much, even at lvl 7. Now I just need to get my main high enough level to get in a group to hunt this.

yeah the guys that hang around in tenebrous mountains and con blue to a level 50 (and most of them can see through invis) might be a problem for a level 25 looking for that guy who drops the cloak.
