Iksar Berserker Club  

 

I was fighting a badger at loc 187,257 just when the jester popped in! Woot! Anyway, I spent about 8-10 hours camping this (off and on over a few days). My strategy has been to kill everything (skels and badgers) in ALL the stalls and the room just to the south of the above cited location (usually has a few mobs in it).

My monk was in the tower at level 23... I told everyone I was camping the jester (who everyone wants) even though I was really only there for the fingered skeleton (no loss to anyone other than a monk =/ hehe)... I figure, if he spawns, dandy, I've been here, and if not, no one can complain because they didnt waste time on him

So about 10 minutes before I am gonna log, suddenly this tornado of bone and wood comes screaming down the hall and begins pummeling the bejesus out of me :0) 30 seconds later, the club is mine. When I actually realized it was him and he had the club, I almost orgasmed...well, ok so thats an overstatement but its the same awesome feeling you get when you wait for the glacier bear and you finally see him =) Peace all.

Why does everyone seem to make this in to a hard camp?

To get Jester to Spawn, Kill the Wandering mob wo spawns in the hallway. - False

To get the Jester to spawn, kill the Thick Boned Skele. - False

To get the jester to spawn, the tower must be empty. - False

To get the Jester to spawn, You must kill the cook, fingered, thick boned, and forager in a certain order. - False

To get the jester to spawn, his placeholder who can be anyone in the tower must be killed. - False (found out on a raid where we destroyed everything in the tower, and I was waiting for the spawn)

To get the Jester to spawn you must be in position with everything cleared out of his area at a certain time of the Real Life day. - False

To get the Jester to spawn you must do the same as the one above but at a certain time in the game day. - False

To get the Jester to spawn, You need patience. - True

So realize, it takes patience. It's like the Mace of the Shadowed Soul, Dark Reaver, Soul Leech, or any other uncommon item in the game. Just realize, you camp, your choise. I have hung around looking for Jester too. I just don't spend three weeks looking for him. I would rather be out leveling, having fun. You want it, don't complain about the time it takes to get it. Not worth the 3k it sells for on my server, at least for me. After all, why would an SK want some neg int?

For those who will flame me, know I have gotten 6 clubs from Kurns. It's not because I camp for it. I just come by there occasionaly, and if I see, I kill. If not, I don't stay, get frustrated, go take a leak, grab a beer, come back to my computer to see the Jester killed me with the club, leaving me at my spawn point. I move on to something else. So Farmers, please stop ********* You chose to Farm.

Okay, I'm a 17 Shaman on SZ where there probably IS nobody with 10,000 plat just yet, so the price for this puppy would drop dramatically. However, it's the ultimate shaman weapon for someone my level. Everyone can look at the stats and see why, so I'll spare you the argument.

I'm mainly posting so people can hear how he spawned around me, and theorists attempting to puzzle out what makes him pop can add my account to the mix.

We camped at the elbow for a few hours. After having read these posts, I had little hope of even seeing the jester let alone looting the IBM. Our other shaman hit 20 while we were there and he stopped getting xp from some of the kills. Eager to move on, he convinced everyone to move further down the corridor. We all moved to the end of the corridor around the top of the next stairs down, but then changed our minds (at the behest of our monk). We quickly move back to the elbow, and Pop! There he is, smackin' away at our backsides as we return.

So perhaps after clearing out the area (if that's part of it) you need to move through the corridor to convince him to pop? The ol' "a watched pot never boils" thing?

By the way, that was the luckiest loot roll this character has had. ;)

The proc on this weapon now stacks with any AC or STR buff you have on yourself thus making the proc very useful.

I use it in the off hand (not during a pull of course) especially against casters who do not have a ds up. It gives +20 dex and +15 str proc that works nicely with my trance stick (proc smite) and flying kick. Two delay 18 weapons rock for interrupting spells, and if a chanter throws haste at you..everyone better step back! Try dual attacks every quarter second and its very hard to go back to fists...

A monk throws this puppy in the tinker bag when not using, so who cares about the 8 stones?

I have been looking up a whole whole lot on monks, asked around a whole lot, and I think that this weapon is just dumb for a monk to even think about using. 8 stones? You wouldnt be able to loot hardly any thing that is half decent. Dunno, I just think that this is a very bad weapon for monks.

Umm if your sta is over 100 the only thing being out of sta means is that you cant jump. That kills me everytime I see that about running out of stamina.
