a turepta cragwalker  

The Talisman of the spirtseer fell into my Druid's lap the other day while I was kiting Tureptas.

The best bet for kiting in there, to me, was to make sure I pulled all the same species since they each seemed to move at different speeds when I'd try to kite different ones. I never had any agro difficulties, either. It was a good way of completeing the quests you get on the shore camp, too (a decent book and a mace that I've yet to get)

A Shore Stonemite will add 2 these if u pull the turtle when by one.

could a well equipped 50war and so so equipped 36bst duo here in natimbi?

soloable for a 49 necro? fear kiting. just curious

Had three people:

51 enchanter (me)
52 cleric
52 mage

We completely stomped the tureptas. They have about 6-7k hp, hit for 129-137 max, and were wusses once slowed. As a 51 enchanter I *can* solo these guys but it takes most of my mana bar (about 2600 mana unbuffed) to keep my pet from dying. Two of the meats dropped, and the other two were offered up to the zone (I was the only person in the zone who wanted them, woo).

I estimate we were there for about four hours altogether, but judging from some of the other messages here I think we got lucky. I'm gonna be using the book for quite some time...

Edit:
Other drops in the four hours we were there:

2 x Diamond
2 x Sapphire
Level 44-49 research components of various types
2 x Aligned Ore
3 x Raw Pale Nihilite
1 x Taelosian Tea Leaves
13 x Turepta Meat
2 x Taelosian Wheat

And a bunch of other misc junk.

Are these mobs DCable for druids or enchanters?

Got the necklace and viel to drop off these in one session. Was soloing, but ran back to PoK for HP buffs after an add just about got me. Picked up a 42 shammy for slows so hits didnt hurt so bad. Most of his spells worked. He won the roll on necklace, grats to hippidy, with a /ran 100 roll of 30 lol. Def his lucky day. Easy kills for 55 Nec even unslowed, just alot of HP's. P.S. Dont try and solo the Fierce ones, hit for 340+, fast. Snare drops on them quickly and they run fast.

I soloed dese today. I 55 shammy. Used instill to pull, followed wif malisment line ta lower dem high MR. EASY after dat. slow, anathema (love dat spell. it no breaks rootin) , plague, EB. If Instill no sticked first time it did second try.

WATCH OUT FER ADDS! Dem Cragwalker not social fer each udder but da stupid Stonemites will jump in to take up fer dey big brudders.

Can you say UNDERCON

Believe it or not but this normal mob dropped a very nice item for me. I was just farming them for the meats and I looked at the drop and said WOW! It dropped Spiritbeads of the Spiritmaster or something like that. Not on EverQuest atm so cant tell you exactly but it was 12ac 4dex/sta/wis/int 50hp/mana some resist and flowing thought 1. Droppable. yes it was off of this mob not the fierce. Very strange indeed, grats to me. Maybe very insanely rare drop!

Was hunting these for new quest and got the following so far:

Succulent Turpeta Meat (quest item I was after)
Turpeta Meat
Turpeta Shell
Damaged Turpeta Shell
Turpeta Liver
Turpeta Eye
Bundle of Turpeta Eggs

Aligned Ore
Gems
Wide variety of pages/runes

These, like the Fleshrippers, can be Dire Charmed. The Fleshrippers and the Cragwalkers can serve two seperate functions depending on what you want. The Fleshrippers dole out amazing damage, but have weak HPs, while the Cragwalkers can take a lot of punishment but don't deal nearly as much damage. For Dire Charm fans, the Cragwalker is the tank of choice, while for kiting purposes, run with the Fleshripper.

These are animals. I tested this out the other night... ridiculously high MR (resisted 6/7 snare attempts, every root attempt I tried), but panic animal landed easily. They were db/lb to a 61 ranger... so I'm guessing they're a lot lower than 60... but the lb's still kicked the snot out of me solo, and there isn't much room to fear on the wayfarer's side of the shore. Hope this helps.
