Now that EQ is F2P, I've dusted off my old lvl 59 Bard and have been revisiting old zones looking for those legendary drops which were auctioned at the EC tunnels, back in the day.
Zoned into Najena to get some J-Boots for my 45 Monk alt. Nothing on track, went into the locked octagonal room and saw the Fabled Drelzna was not up, just 3 necros, and so I cleared the spawn with my tier I tank merc. Fabled Drelzna popped a few minutes later. Three times she killed my merc - very close fight, matched HP all the way (I must buy a better merc). Even at 6% she made mincemeat out of my Bard.
I came back with a bot 66 Cleric. HP buffs for my Bard and the merc, and the fight was easy. Twisted haste, overhaste, rune/atk and a DS.
Dropped everything listed, plus some trash. Waited for a few minutes, and got a full spawn of necros in the room, no Drelzna. Then next spawn Fabled Drelzna popped again, rinse and repeat, dropped all the same, as before - happy bot cleric. 2 pairs of Fabled J-Boots in about 25 minutes.
On the way out of Najena I got lost and fell down a hole into a prison cell. Luckily I have 240 lock picking and had some picks handy. This could be a real PITA otherwise.
Camped her for about an hour and a half today. Shes in a octagonal room in the South east area. Bloodstained Key from Rathyl opened the door. Killed her easily, she conned green to me-75 level.
Got the Fabled J boots! Woot!

Been camping her for a few hours now, killed PH about 4 times, her about 6 or 7 I think. Not sure, anyways, easy solo with a self buffed 71 druid who is behind in spells by a level or two. Backed into corner so my spells wouldn't get knocked, dotted her, had 2 DS's up, and let her play. Had to heal a time or two, but no biggy. Drains most of my mana, but respawn is 10 min on her or PH.
I have been camping Drelzna's room for a few hours and only the regular Drelzna spawns. Do Fabled mobs not always spawn on the server? Like is it a special period of time when SOE decides to have Fabled mobs?

They generally only spawn during EQ's anniversary period each year, from March to April or so.
I soloed her with a gear-challenged 71 Necro. My 67 level pet tanked while I healed sporatically with Touch of Death. I threw some DoTs on her and feigned...she did not seem to mind.
Whats her spawn time? I have a group in Najena in her room camping it. we've only killed her once and that was about 45 mins ago. we're [/u]still[u] waiting for her to pop up for the second time.
ah, lucky day in Najena in Bertox I zone in, Fabled Najena is up, i dunno where she is, so a warrior later on kills her I fall in the pit get trapped, because Moosh isnt up, later on i get let out, we kill Rathyl, he drops Traveler's Pack i go to Fabled Drelzna camp, and everyone always complains that she doesnt spawn enough-5 spawns in a row yay for us mage is OOCing looking for a piece of epic, 3 minutes later she gets it and another piece so: 5 people get boots, i get traveler pack, warrior got robe (collectible), mage got parts of epic, and it all happened in 2 hours :D
In drelzna's room. It's marked on most ingame maps, and has been in that room since release.

There is a whole key system to the lair of Najena.
Long drawn out way --- Various creatures and NPC's carry the keys to access other areas within the lair. I will use the keys to describe how to move through the zone. The ogre guards and Moosh carry a key ring, which will give you access to the prison cells. The first monster in the key sequence is Bonecracker. Bonecracker is an approximately level 25 undead froglok who lives in a room with two lovely dark elf necromancers. He gives you the dull bone key. The ogre captain must then be killed to get the shiny metal key. These first two keys are the only keys that aren't No Rent (i.e. they won't disappear when you log) so hang onto them. The shiny metal key is then used to open the cell outside of Rathyl's room. The dull bone key is then used to access Rathyl's area, where you can fight Rathyl. Note you need both keys to get to Rathyl. Killing him will give you access to the bloodstained key for Drelzna's room. Then you can access Drelzna's room, who is slightly higher level, and used to spawn the Journeyman Boots. Now you can get the golden crescent key from Drelzna will allow you to access the room with Najena herself.
OR:
Easy as pie way -- You can just do what I do .. and drop down into the prison cells from the trap floor on level 1, shrink yourself with a gnomish shrinking device, and then shimmy through the bars to get to Rathyl .. and therefore get the key to get to Drelzna.... lol
Nice guide to the keys there. For the rest of the st00pid people out there (like me), you have to actually hold the key on your cursor to open the doors *sigh*
haha i remmeber this mob. I got my pair of Fabled Jboots on my SK and there was a group of people there we were jsut killing it then looting nice organized line. There was only 1 person loeft to get them who happaned to be my friend so i couldnt leave lol. So she normally spawns like every 2 or 3 pops. so last person who needs it and we are wqaiting for like 2 and 1/2 hours cuz every pop is some necro. My friend was gettin pretty pissed off and was bout to petition it to a gm (like they would do anything) and he was gonna leave and then pop shes up. was jsut funny during the whole 2.5 hour wait period cuz he was gettin so pissed off.
Hi. Last night group looted the guard keyring and 3 keys (Bloodstained key off Rathyl, Shiny Metal key off Ogre Captain, Dull Bone key off Bonecracker) and we still couldn't get access to the Najena Room which is supposedly where the fabled drelzna is found. Can anyone help and let me know what else we needed to do. Thanks Safo
Just took her out with a 65 Pally (5600 HP with just temp and Brells) and a 58 Cleric (3500 Mana unbuffed) and only used 60% of my mana in heals. She did hit for 690 and hit me with "wriths in the grip of Agony" several times for up to 850
I solo'd it with my bot chanter. Didn't feel like bringing in my warrior and druid. Anyway if you have gnome illusion you can sneak into the room that is locked where you get the bloodstained key.
Tough fight for a group of 3. 47 shaman, 50 cleric and 50 warrior. Had her to 11% no issues, than warrior got feared, after fear wore off cleric missed CH by 1 sec. Dead warrior = Party wipe. If the warrior wasn't feared or another DPS class present she would have fallen! She was a red con to all.
So you don't have to be 10 levels higher than her to take her out.
Killed her last night... here's the info from my visit.
Was able to kill her with a group of 3. Lvl 60 Monk (tank), Lvl 62 Cleric and myself (lvl 62 Necro). Con'd even to the monk.
She will summon a pet if she spawns and no one is in the room. She can fear and HT. Enrages at around 10% health left.
We had 7 PH's spawn in a row before the 1st The Fabled Drelzna spawned. Then she spawned 2 more times in a row. We all got boots and turned over the camp to the next group in line.
The spawn time is around 18 to 19 mins.
A bloodstained key is needed to open the door to get to the room where The Fabled Drelzna spawns.
Hope this helps out.
Huge thanks to the Monk and Cleric that helped me get the boots. Sorry, I can't remember their names off the top of my head.
I would like to add about how hard Drelzna now is: she does indeed hit for up to 690, however, I think she hits *very* little, because I found her much easier then for instance the Drakes in a level 65 DoN mission, or even the Fabled Grimfeather which is supposed to be lower level then Drelzna.
She does a HT at the beginning but after that she rarely hits. I slow her off course, and she can be partially slowed, but even then. My cleric had to HoT my *** only twice, and I am a level 66 BL with about 1240 AC and 6k HP buffed up. Not uber.
I went there with my group and killed her 3 times in a row, back to back spawns on 18 minute timer. The next day I went back and killed her 3 more times, again back to back spawn. then all of a sudden the 4th time "a Necromancer" spawned, like the other 2 spawns in the room. 5th and 6th time, same thing, "a Necromancer". Does she have a placeholder after all? Was I just insanely lucky with 6 out of 6 Fabled Drelzna's the first time around?
