Is there any way to know if this (or any) of the earth rings are up?, I like what they did to poair, with the new asparations of the avatars so you would know for sure, just seems to be a long wast of time to mass kill all these mobs and the named not even show up, or the abritor for that matter.
Kind of late for a reply but yes there is. It involves use of ShowEQ or Macroquest though. There are 5 invisable level 1 mobs that spawn when the ring is killed and despawn 3 days later when the ring is real.
Arbitor guy Mudite guy Vegerog guy Stone guy cant remember the dust name but it is something guy.
You can still spawn the MA on fake rings wether or not he or the rings have the loot dropping bosses. They will spawn a similar mob with a different name and just drop no loot.
