Xicotl  

I had nothing much to do a some morning and decided to go to Mistmoore and do some scouting to see where this SK spawns. I was 51 at that time and battled my way towards the castle entrance without to much trouble.

A level 52 druid of our guild came online asking what I was doing. Explained him what I was doing and he said he would come over.

We both didn't have a map and we only sort of knew where to find bathroom room so it took us half an hour to find it. Both went in and I killed the 3 mobs in bathroom very easely (Mistmoore guard only need one wellplaced hit and it died). Me and the druid placed ourselves in the far corners of the bathroom opposing the secret entrance and we didn't get aggro from nearby rooms. After a few kills the druid decided I had things under control and left.

I sat there for 2 hours killing spawns without much trouble and only on occasion getting aggro of a single mob from nearby rooms.

From what I saw the ph of Xito is on a faster spawntime then the rest of the mobs. If I have to put a time on it I would say 7 minutes for Mistmoore guard and 14 for 2 other bathroom spawns. I had the luck that Xito spawned alone and could focus on him without fighting adds. He took about 2000HP from me when I finally killed him. Did alot of stunning in the fight.

So at 51 this is very easy to do, just have nice enough resist (I resisted all of the spells of green mobs and a few of the LB mobs got through). Take a few invis potion with you to run safely to the bathroom cause fighting your way solo through the castle is suicide but once in the room you have no problem at all.

Well, i know not if i was just lucky, or if NOW it's normal. but Myself (46 paladin at the time0 My brother (54 monk) and his wife (52 druid) walked in, smacked everything in our path from the back door. and got to the spa/hottub, Killed xicotl, and left.... Simple as that...

/shrug maybe i was lucky... The only adds we had were the others in the room, (gota love charging into a blaze of gory) We slaughtered them easily, No LoH or nothing, and he had the hilt... From there i got real lucky and Lucan was up, so we quickly made work of him, and i got my soulfire the same day =o)

Camped Xicotl for 8 hours yesterday, we kept the nearby area clear also so ze wouldn't get any adds.

Our group gained lots off exp, and nice items, but after 8 hours he still hadn't popped. So we will try again very soon.

Are there any special things that you have to keep in mind to get him to spawn?

We camped him last night, sort of a mini-raid if you will. We fought our way in through the front door, because we had enough people who wanted the exp (we had 2 full groups, group 1- 38+, group 2, 28-38). We cleared out everything on the way in, got some of the nicer items that drop here, had a high level person train the room that had our lower level group in it, by the time the fighting was over we had lost 1 grp member and had 14 mobs corpses on the floor in one room. Lower group left shortly after, we camped a total of 3 1/2 hours, no hilt.

We raided Mistmoore last nite for the our fearless leader's epic, though he didn't pop. His placeholder (a guard, I'm told) is on a 14 minute timer. We were constantly getting aggro from the small room off of the bedroom, but since there were a great many of us, that was no trouble. :)

Let's recap:
1) PH is on a 14 minute timer.
2) Aggro from the small adjacent room is cake. :)

This hilt rots often on Povar, I kill him a lot while helping some friends kill stuff here. I'm 58th chanter and I pull him with a bunch of other mobs to my friends, stun lock the mobs, friends kill... Anyway, there never is a Paladin in zone to come loot this, is this so rare that I should send tells to miscellaneous pallies in surrounding zones before pulling this guy? I hate for something rare to keep rotting.

So been to MM 2 times now. Each time camped for 4-5 hours. Killed abour 30 guards and all the other mobs in the surrounding rooms. Trying again tomorrw hope he pops this time. =)

I started the soulfire quest at lvl 10. I had everything but the hilt and sir lucan's testimony. I had been wanting to finish the quest for a long time even though the sword is not that great.

On saturday I want to mistmore alone. Buffed up and went through the graveyard secret entrace and through the torture chamber. I cleared all the way to the hallway that leads to the secret passage into the spa room. I was able to stick my head in and agro singles out of the spa room.

I cleared the room 3 times before Xicotl popped. Here is how I survived soloing him at 51. First I was buffed up with symbol, haste, saves etc. When we poped he does his HT for around 700hp. Instead of attacking right away I got off 3 or 4 greater heals while he blasted away. I started the fight almost full health and 30 percent mana.

He hits hard and life taps. I took him down to 25 percent while I was about 15 percent. I used my LOH. He started life tapping like crazy. I killed him with 200hp out of 2300 hp left. Very close fight. If I there were adds I would have died. The key key was to fight him alone and heal for the first minute to offset his HT.

Ran to Freeport waxed Lucan with a small group and now am proud to weild soulfire.

Good luck fellow Paladins.

Anyone know the stats on the hilt?
I've checked around can't seem to
find out what this thing does.

When hunting Xicotl, what is the recommended level
for the puller? Would 45 be high enough, or would there still be a lot of adds at this level?

i was bored ast nite and camped it for like 6 hours, with 20+ MM guards, 2 earrings and an advisor robe but this guy just didn't show... &#)@!&#
