Brother Zephyl  

Ok so far, been here hours already.
I have gotten
27 Drakes
20 Hastens
20 Maldyns
and
1 Brother Z and no robe yet.

This is taking a while
I killed brother Z after like 4 hours at
10:40pm PST time (CA) January 2nd 2008

Ok here is update for tonights work. After about 14 hours or so i ended up killing
59 Drakes
48 Hastens
44 Maldyns
2 Brother Z's

Time for the first one is listed and second time still with no robe was at
3:50am PST time (CA) January 3rd 2008 This camp is extremely long unless u happen to get lucky. I am using my 75 warrior to kill the stuff that wanders past me at the crossroads area by Feerrott. I got a ranger parked way up on a hill just to track so i know what is up and can run to it in a sec and kill it.
This camp is really annoying me but i need it for epic. So this shows how long i have been there so far.

question about this guy...ive been camping him for a few days now with my cleric, had him spawn 5 times and no robe. Does my monk need to be in zone for this guy to have the robe, or am I just unlucky. the cleric and monk are on the same acct and the monk isnt strong enough to kill him. Will he ever have the robe with my cleric camping this?

Brother Z dropped robe today 03DEC2007. A tip may be thatI killed his naked version and 2 spawns later the robed version spawned. Robed version is the only version that drops robe. But I have never seen 2 brother Z's spawn that close together. I dont know maybe it was just a coincidence.

is it possible for me to duo this guy with a 67 warrior about 11k buffed, and a 65 cleric? or should i use my 65 shammy?

up to about 15 hours now, have gotten a total of 3 zephyl pops and no robe yet - the frikkin 1.5 is easier than this - WTF!?!

been here for 6 hours now, kiiled an ungodly amount of drakes, 2 Maldyns and 4 or 5 hastens, but not 1 Zephyl pop yet - for a mob thats supposed to be a turn in mob, he sure doesnt spawn very often, hell, Ive gotten the Druid epic Hill Giant to pop 5 times already =/

A few friends and I went after Brother Z last night in Rathe Mountains. If you head North from the Feerrott zoneline you'll see a hill with all the giants on it. Brother Z, Unkempt, a drake, and Hasten spawn at random locations around the hill, but they always path south toward the only opening there is to lower in the zone. If you post near the Wicked guy for shaman epic you'll be able to see the spawn as it paths down the hill and be able to kill it the fastest and cause next respawn a bit faster than waiting down near Feerrott. Spawn time is exactly 6 minutes on the nose. We had 2 Brother Z spawns early on, no robe. Stayed for about 2 more hours, lots of drakes, Hasten, and Unkempt... Then finally, Brother Z spawned with the robe. He looked a bit silly because you could see his "Wu" graphic top, then he had red sleeves and a red skirt. But, he dropped the robe as of April 30, 2007.

I'm lucky because I just came back to EQ after several years away and my main was a monk before and is again after. Last time around though I did the Raster and Rock camps, this time a friend decided we could go after Brother Z instead and get me a robe early on so I could wear it. So right now, I'm wearing a Robe of the Lost Circle until I either get an upgrade or turn it in for my epic and go back to wearing my Wu's Fighting Shirt.

Dropped Torn Cloth Tunic* just now, which isn't on the list.

Well......After killing many placeholders and many brothers with help from guildies. I finnaly recieved my robe. It was hard work and alot of camping but he does still drop the robe and the PH's are the same. Longest camp I've had so far on the epic to date. The sad part is that he was up when I wasnt even camping him...This is what happened after a long day of camping I was tired so logged off. About an hour went by and my monk was overweight with Plat and gold so I was going to log in and go to the bank. While running to the bank for a quick deposit I saw a red Figure dart by me. I couldnt believe what I was seeing and Called to all Guildies to come and save the day. No one answered and my Brother came over with 75 Nec and killed him. Brother was right by Feerot zone line at the fork in the road. Previous post have said that he will walk by if you continue to kill anything that walks down path Drakes, Bootstrutters and unkepts n hill eventually he will pop. Killed him 4 times when he wasnt wearing robe and once with and it dropped. This is just to give hope to the ones that will attempt this epic after me. I want to give you some hope. My grammar is horrible Im tired and I must go.


LVL 50 Monk Bonecaster of Drinal

He and his PHs are now on an exact 6 minute timer, verified.

PHs are ONLY a drake, Maldyn the unkempt, and Hasten Bootstrutter.
All PHs will spawn near the new Hill Giant area, somewhere on the East side of the hill.

Killed 4 Zephyl spawns so far, all had no robe graphic, and dropped no robe.

-Odd point to note: if you are in zone when Brother Z spawns, he often displays the monk-only chest graphic (Wu's Fighting Shirt etc), but if you zone in post-spawn, he appears to have a regular leather tunic on. GL to ye :)

Yesterday I got Zephyl to spawn twice in less than 2 hours. So, he seems rather common.

If you enter Rathe from Feerrot ... sit just in from the Feerrot zone where the road splits in 3 (keep the zone to your back). Kill anything that passes within site. Zephyl will come at you facing the Feerot zone and head up toward the giants. He took this path both times and walks very slow. I killed Hasten 3 times, a bunch of Drakes, skellies, lizards, beetles, ... anything that moved.

The first time he spawned a mid 60's level druid soloed him and he did not drop a robe (he was not wearing one either). The second time he spawned I did my hand in (via MQ), and got my pattern. Note, Zephyl was not wearing the robe this time either.

Earlier this week I did see the robe on Brother Qwinn in South Karana though.

A thousand Blessing upon your mouse!

brother Z has a better chance to drop robe my guild killed 4 brother q's on combine and only 1 robe dropped then we killed brother z first kill got a robe =) both about 2 groupable killed qwinn with an SK tank used warrior with defensive on brother Z eazy kill 2 clerics as well

Brother Z and his PH all spawn around the 'new' HG area, head south down the canyon to the 4 way intersection west of the feerrott zone line, path west to the monument with the named beetles, head north to the Lake rathe zone area, and then presumably path around there and then head back along the same path.

i tracked a drake as far as that area and also hit one on the way back as when i had just arrived at the camp today and several days ago.

So far i've killed scores of drakes (as per usual) a fairly equal amount of hastens and maldyns and only one brother z (he did not have to robe to my dismay)

Max hit for 349 with 3% shielding on a time+ geared beastlord. Summons almost instantly on agro (snared with box druid to bring to beastlord for kill).

11 Drakes, 6 Hastens and 1 Maldyn later, Brother Z popped.
No robe again.
9 Drakes, 2 Hatens and 1 Maldyn later, Brother Z popped again.
Had a robe this time, woot.

All three times i've killed him, He did not have the "Torn Training Robe" but he did have the Black Headband as well as "Torn Cloth Tunic*"

And that's it for me... GL on this everyone!
