Does anyone know what else is on the earth and steam elemental spawn table. I am working on getting mercury and lava rock and would like to know my best chance of making them spawn quicker.
the new grafic liiks like one bad mo-fo. is that what the mage pets look like now? and I dont have Luclin, but i know they keep updating all kinds of stuff, whats with this new skin? id be scared to fight him at 30 by looks alone.
These guys are easy. I was soloing them with a lvl 12-13 dwarf pally and doing fine. The only problem is that they agro VERY easily, and it doesn't take long to get 2 or 3 of them on you if you're not careful. The good news is, they're very slow so you can outrun them without a SoW. The Steamfront guards seem pretty stupid though, almost got killed once because they wouldn't help :P
killed only 2 so far and both times with help, and only just, when i was lvl 12 now 11 after numerous lag deaths, and as i had only about 1 bub left fighting witrh a lvl 8 bozo, dropped bloodstone the 1 i got, dont know what the other had.

Unlike steam elementals in Steamfont, these earth elementals do *NOT* require magical weapons to hurt them. We bludgeoned them quite nicely with run-of-the-mill cracked staffs.
Now, im not the most experianced player in EQ, but i like to think i know quite alot about steamfont and a few other zones and their monsters. Now i've read that people cant find charcoal, or any smithing stuff off of earth elementals, well, here are some loots i got off of some of those elementals: once, i got 2 charcoal, and 1 iron oxide. i got 3 charcoal off of one. ive gotten 2 drops of mercury and russet oxide off of one. and i've gotten a elemental binder off of one(soon to be confiscated by a GM caused by a glich), AND! i have gotten not 1, not 2, not even 3! but 4 charcoal off of one.
Now i dont know what your characters are in your servers, but in my server(tunar), creatures sure do drop alot of stuff, including charcoal(going 20p each!)
I'd guess that if you got an Elemental Binder, the loot tables were off when you were hunting. My ranger has hunted these guys (and steams and clockworks) from 10-14, also on Tunare. I've killed a LOT of them and never received more then 1 dye/smithing component/gem at a time. But I have gotten mercury, charcoal, iron oxide and rust oxide off them at somwhere around a 1/10 drop ratio.
Whenever I tried to kill one of these guys with my lvl 12 warrior they would kill themselves just before I killed them. Has anyone else had this experiance before?
I killed one of them in Steamfont with my pet (my pet had a rusty 2h sword plus a Burnout buff) while on lvl 12. Im a mage and i beleive every mage around my level should come here for some good exp and probably some good loot, i got a Silver Ring off of one and sold it for around 3gp. These punks are easy if you have your anti-summon spells. ;p
The Najena hallway with these things is not fun to walk through. Even when they're low green, the nasty little things aggro. In numbers. Yeah, they're probably an extremely easy kill individually. But having four of them wailing on you, even at about 8 damage a hit plus bash, gets to be sorta painful. Shaved off 200 hp in the time it took me to kill one... ouch.
I must say i love Steamfont as a zone to fight from lvl 1 to 13 for doing so with a Mage( Fdyen Petsummoner of Xev), a druid and an enchanter. They Got to be the Roughest creature their lvl i mean i feel to them a lot. in my day that is. hehe Becareful when you pull the have a Fairily Good Awareness range and buddies you think are far enough away to not notice are closer thn you think.

ive never gotten any blacksmithing items in steamfont with any of my characters(i take most of them to steamfont at 10-14ish) maybe blacksmithing items only drop in Najena? oh well guess ill just killl steam for the loot!
I have gotten charcol and iron oxdie drom elementals in steamfront, for dues. Also, Ihave bought drops of mercury off players in steamfront repeatedly... can't prove the mercury drops there, but seems too. By the way, mercury is for the Earth Temper, for dwarven smithing. The rest that I mentioned are for Dyeing.

well, heck...i got like 4 swirling mists, and 5 mercury drops out of these elementals...these and a few steam ones...that was in like a 5 hours killing..... Only one oxide and NO charcoal...sux, eh? =/ well, see ya in norrtah, mates.
Went to Nejena last night to try and get some dyes for Blacksmithing. I can confirm that the earth elementals do drop Charcoal and Drops of Mercury. In something over 3 hours we picked up 3 Charcoals and 4 Drops of Mercury. Hope this helps.
Bah these are easy for Magicians with ward summon spell :) 10 less damage the Column of fire and 35 less mana with half the casting time =) Was hunting them at 15th level and still getting exp for em.
EEs can be quite tough in Steamfont for non-casters. My 14th level Paladin still has trouble with these talking Mudpies, who speak directly to him about hating Paladins. They can drop decent loot. Semi-precious stones and jewelry (silver rings and stones mentioned above). We hates them.
It was, sold for about 1.5 gp. I've also looted assorted other gems of the low GP values. This would be in Steamfront, and the highest level I've seen is 12.
I don't believe that the elementals in the Steamfonts get up to level 16. I'd say max is 13 or 14. They are fodder to my 15 shaman. One blast of Disempower and they're slapping me for 1-2 points of damage. Also, I don't think they drop anything loot wise.
