Bracers of Erollisi  

 

killed him last night and got the bracer, very easy as a 34 cleric.

I nuked him to death from max cast range and non of his friends assisted.

This is actually a really nice piece of armor for the effort required. Great for untwinked players in 20s and 30s, and for twinking new players or friends. My observations on getting these:

First, Beware the seafury cyclops. However, if you stay right on the waterline on the south side of the island, near the pirate camp, they don't come that far (unless trained).

Second, the greens don't aggro. I had heard conflicting info on this, but have gotten several for friends and alts since reaching 30, and nothing in the pirate camp adds.

Third, Gornit. Usually camped, so not a problem, but if not, don't pull too close, because he is on pirate faction, and will add. But in my experience has a small aggro radius. Also, if he happens not to be up when you get there, he pops in the little inlet of water near the pirate camp, so don't use that spot to pull to or meditate. I usually swim, or run levved if possible, to the corner of the island with the pirate camp before touching land to avoid gornit and the seafuries.

Fourth, Capt. Surestout. Basically a no worries green for my 34 cleric, but hits pretty hard for his level. Much easier than Dorn in north ro, but a slight undercon. Melee only, no spells so a root, nuke approach might work, or snare kiting if you have lev and go out over the water. Don't kite on the island.

Fifth, drop rate. This doesn't drop every time, but I've never had to wait more than 3 spawns for it, and Surestout is on a very short spawn time. Less than it takes to med to full after nuking him.

Last, the item itself. This is not only a great item for low level melees, but its really nice for twinking a druid or monk. 1 stone is not too much weight for a monk in mostly wu's or cured silk, and is a nice stat boost. Also, for a low druid, pre-sow, I like the strength and ac on this better than the 2ac and 3 wis on a pbb for low level druids. Since damage shield meleeing is still a decent way to solo at low levels, the ac and str help a lot. plus the 3 wis on pbb is only 6 or 8 mana at level 10. Probably true for the other listed classes as well, but can't really say, as I have not tried.

This is an item I always pick up when camping Gornit or Witlin for the Ivy Quest, which is a 60 minute spawn with a placeholder. You can pick up as many of these as you want pretty much, as long as there are people to carry them away. Given that people camping Gornit will be 40+ he isn't an issue to kill - I let my pet take him out. If you're passing through you might pick one up cheap or free.
