Just spent about 6 hours today trying to get this guy. 20 spawns of a cursed slave and not one sad slave. Does anyone know if maybe he was taken out of the game? or is he just this rare?
I just did this camp as a 66 BST. Getting there wasn't hard at all, just alot of switching between Invis and IVU. The camp itself was seriously tough to break tho, had to use para to stay alive. For some strange reason tho the cursed slave did way less damage on my pet than on me, so he got to tank it most of the time. Mobs usually eat through my pet in no time, but this one was different.
Hand hit for max 281 on me, not sure about the slave, was more like 350-400 or something. Trickiest thing was to keep up with heals.
Haven't found the pants yet, but I'll hang around til I do and make my necro alt happy.
Edit: 376 was max hit on the next cursed slave I killed. Max hit on second hand was 324. So if you wanna camp this thing you'll need to be able to handle two mobs that hit for 376/324 at the same time.
the slaves have more hp than a typical mob in veksar and higher mr. slave always seems to stun me and the hand / slave both kill me fast with my gymp gear and aa's. i learned a much safer way to SOLO the sad slave from soloing remains as a gymp 65 necro. U can normal / undead invis all the way to slave, the undead have smaller agro radius than norm mobs so hug wall and u can avoid agro once you get past the slavemaster.there is typically a wraith near by the slave all bye his lonesome self. i use my orb of tash on it and charm once slow wears off then send pet on hand next to the slave and mezz the slave. If pet hp gets to low i like to fd and let pet regen , then recharm and kill slave.This method is the most reliable from my experience.
Usually theres a cursed or animated hand in his room too. I use to charm the frog and put it on the hand and just lifetap the hand to death, then FD and wait a few min and then kill the frog and from there I just use my normal pet to keep the room clear. 65 necro btw
his spawnpoint is the room with the "a cursed slave". The cursed is the PH for the sad. Cursed slave was L60, the sad slave was white to me at L57. We killed him and the leggings dropped, and some vendor fodder looking sword.
Now, the fights themselves weren't tough. *Getting* to the slave was the hard part. Gotta make it past a crapload of "a cursed hand" mobs. One thing to watch.... don't sit... out wizzy found that out about *cough* 3 times. He ended up with the leggings so he was happy in the end =)
so there's the deal.... slave's easy... getting there is over half the battle...
and before someone posts the inevitable "Hey can i just invis up there?".
You can get to this mob without fighting any other mobs. I did this two boxing a 65 shaman/druid. Invis past goblins, itu potions to get to golem area, itu potions through shop jump out into highborn area. After jumping out invis and go down left past the hand that wanders up and down the corridor and then itu to get past the wandering undead mob take a right and go up the stairs (this can be done without agroing either of the side mobs no type of invis needed). Once up the first stairs you have to use itu/invis combos to go to the top to the room where this mob spawns. Two mobs in the room just slowed both and killed both at the same time.
as far as invis goes, you can try...but know this...the goblins and golems don't see normal invis, but do see ivu (iow: live, not dead), the lizards don't see ivu, but do see normal invis(iow:dead, not live), I *think* the hands might not see normal invis (don't remember), but they do see ivu, so you have to be lucky to get there and swap invis maybe 4-5 times if everything is full spawned, also I've seen a hand spawned in one of the 2 'wandering' spots between the higborn area and the hand/monk area (I've also seen lizards spawned in both wandering spots)
Did you submit the pic because I thought I recognised Rocco and Blyss there :)
Just a little follow up to this tho. The first we attempted this, we had a lvl 65 bard try to go and pull but he agro'ed about 4 of the hands before he could even see any of them to try and lull. The best combo would be to sneak up target and then lull, then pull as needed. But still make sure you have a good mes'er with you just in case. Plus with the fast repop the zone has our group was barely able to keep up with the spawns.
Over all a fun exciting camp to go to. I can't wait to go again :)

*EDIT* i need to update my sig i think... no longer lvl 27 :)
I was wondering does anyone know where he spawns? and if so how hard of a kill is he? I have a group with a lvl 58 mage, 58 druid, and 60 pally. Any info would help...
