I agree, with that, he is seriously under conned, but one thing changes how hard he is, the dirk. With that damn dirk, he can Backstab and deal much more damage. My lvl 24 Druid (Bristlebane server) camped the tower not too long ago, manily for revenge for all the times DVinn and Crush had killed me in my younger seasons. I sat there, with clarity, and everytime something poped, rooted a nuked em. well, DVinn poped the first time, without the dirk, and i managed to kill him, though i didn't have much mana or health left. Well, I sat there and killed everything else, when he popes again, with the dirk. He starts hitting me with every attack, interupting all my spells. I managed to root him finnaly, and went down the hall some, and Doted and nuked. I got him to half health, when the root breaks. Well, he comes up and starts again, so i try to root, again. he interuped everyone, so I decided to run for my life. so I slap on Spirt of the cheetah and fly out the window, with him right on my tail, well, once SoC dropped, with no SoW on, I was killed pretty quickly. In conclusion, in my opinion, the dirk is what makes DVinn the hardest.

I would really like to. The reason behind this is that he can resist most lvl 16 spells and even some lvl 20s. So when you go to root him, he will just walk up to and kil you. BTW I am on Luclin.

He had me certain i was going to die.As a caster , i was unable to get any spells off so I jumped across the moat(there is a narrow part where one will be able to make it across)and he had to go all the way around,by then I got off a cast and let him come close while my casting abilities recover after which i jump over the moat again cast away...kill any healer-type orcs first tho....oh yea...im a 24th level fully twinked -almost dead- cleric

OMG, they must have nerfed this little freak! My buddy, a lvl 19 druid took him on today, and soloed him, and earlier, 2 mages and a druid, all lvl 17, took him 3 times over. They must have seriously nerfed him, becauseI have heard stories of 24's falling to him. (15.6.01)

Best Practice to Solo DVinn (for casters) and not have to wait till lvl 30+. First of all you will need Throne Room to be clear, but ppl camp in about 80% of the time anyway, so not a prob. in waiting you will usually kill 2 cents, 2 oracles, 2 royal guards and 2 crushes before DVinn will pop. Conserve mana killing the peeons or just drag them to TR for the lower lvl ppl. Nuke Crush down and medd up for DVinn. Now you will need is a dispell and Root/enstill, Dvinn is impossible to melee against before lvl 30 alone. drag him out to the Throne room and just root and nuke him, i found that after you dispell what ever he has for buffs the roots take hold, leaving a helpless Inky Ambassedor open for full nuking, just NEVER try to run, always reroot him, he bastabs and is INSANLY fast to outrun. would not try this before lvl 23-24, but like me, i wanted revenge before i hit midlife.

He's not that hard.. me( lvl 25necro) and my friend (lvl 27ranger) soloed the tower no prob. Only problem about this guy is the respawn time. Oneday we get 2 dirks maybe 3 in several hours but today he dropped nothing. After hours of sitting rooting, nuking, and shock of poisoning we quit. This guy is pretty easy if you have some sort of root. my 3 spells can kill him just that the waiting takes awhile.

Im was a lvl 19 paladin. I grouped with a 18 necro, a 21 warrior and a 18 enchanter. DVinn was a pushover for a couple of kills. I sit down to med and he pops again. In the course of me standing up I see our Necro has jumped out the window almost dead and i start to beat on DVinn with the warrior and enchanter. Needless to say I was the next out the window, followed by the rest of the group. DVinn somehow catches up to the necro outside kills him and Me while we were running to the zone. Only the warrior made it. We didnt have a healer but i mean common..... thats crazy. You can bet when i get my druid up to 24 im going to ROOT-BOMB the hell out of him.

#Anonymous, Posted: May 23 2001 at 7:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok at lvl 8 my buddy from work was power leveling me in cb and i killed Dvinn, Crush, the task master and any other named and major mods in cb. When i was fighting Dvinn i only needed to get healed twice. Yeah he hits hard but maybe your skills just aren't up to par.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 27 2001 at 3:06 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) okay pal....quit acting all high and mighty...DVinn IS a hard mob....u prolly had some huge buffs, and definately have a big head...dont try and tell people their 'skills arent up to par' when you got a high lvl guy helping...nuff said

One day, at lvl 22, I decided to be bold. Zoned into CB and heard "D'Vinn popped". I guess everyone was low level because he was killing everything in sight and cause many shouts of help. Eventually I loudly announced that I would take care of him.
Found him and what-do-ya-know, he conned even at 22(Bard). Now I'm scared but committed. I don't know if someone managed to slow him or debuff him before i got to him but he was easy. He never dodged my hits and never resisted my songs. He went down quick!
After much rejoicing for me, I went to the zone and offered my mana regen and healing services for free to young players.
Then he pops again and I am called over. This time he cons blue. Well after the last fight as even I figure he is going down quick this time as blue. wrong.
Even with everyone trying to heal me I died straight away. I couldn't even make it to the zone. I never got him past half health.

Would love to watch that Trevoke, I'm betting the "Verble Slam" alone could ensnare him.
Some idiot pulled him into the zone w/o warning where he proceeded to kill all of us who didn't know he existed. Since then I've been trying to sell this heart to some newbie Paladin who won't go near it! lol

Hem, yeah, sure, but the black heart is no drop.. I don't know how you're gonna sell that. By the way, follow up on my story, I came back with a guildmate (and a lvl 50 druid in my guild stopped by, but that's besides the point) and we camped Dvinn for a while. Results: 2 dirks, prophet head, tergon's spellbook, lore scroll from Prophet, 5 Dwarven Ringmail Tunics (4 of those and 1 dirk went to newbies in the zone, as well as a couple of CB Belts we found)

Hilarious fact: We had just killed Crush when a centurion ran into the tower, yelled "Hail Emperor Crush" and proceeded to die by our hands, right in front of Crush's body. Orcs are funny.

Well, I turned 24 recently, and am a wizard, so I figured, what the hell, I'll just enjoy CB a bit, it used to scare me ****less.. so I go there, enjoy nuking a cent, pawn, lego to death, destroy a slaver, can't find a trainer, kill rondo, and then see a lvl 25 monk. So I go "hey, wanna group up and annihilate Dvinn?". He tells me that he has no problem with that, he just hates Dvinn because he tends to avoid all the hits. He runs around the castle and empties it, fun for him.. then he destroys emperor Crush, and tells me to come in the tower. I go up there, it's all empty, I sit there and start to med. He tells me to make sure that I root everything that spawns, so I do. at some point a cent spawns and I root it, but the monk just sits there for 10 seconds. I was oom so I begin to crush with my Staff of Writhing (nice guildmates), then root wears off and he rushes out. The monk wakes up and goes "No! Now he brings back the whole castle"! and yeah, there comes an emissary, 3 cents and a lego. I jump out the window to get destroyed by oracles (I have 400hp, I'll never understand who took out all of those). I come back to get my corpse, which for some reason was in the tower, on the window. Go figures. I'm like DOH! lost my lvl 24. Bah. Revenge! I begin to meditate, and forget that you should never, EVER turn your back to pathways.. I get backstabbed twice for 55 damage, damn royal guards. and I die again, this time really close to the zone. How did they not kill me before, they suck. Bah. I said goodbye to camping Dvinn, I'll come back and destroy him sometime with my AoE snare at lvl 29. I'll kill him. I swear. And I'll give the dirk to some random level 1.

I was in CB last night, started heading out, saw a centurion so I thought I would get a belt. Suddenly Dvinn pops out! He didn't spawn there because someone had been shouting about him being near the entrance. I didn't see him in the tunnel though. So can he go invisible?

Now i am lvl 21, and im goin to gate myself all the way from kunark just to bring this guy down. Im gonna mop the floor with him, and sell his parts for money.

D'Vinn for recreation
# Apr 05 2001 at 7:49 PM Rating: Good
I had a friend of mine ask me to PL him in CB the other morning since it was way early and the zone was practically empty. We decided that I'd stand back and heal till he was full of loot and when he went to sell, I'd run around and kill all the stuff that gave me trouble in younger winters, namely Emperor Crush and Ambassador D'Vinn, the latter of the two being the only blue con to my 29 shaman in the entire zone. Well, as you can imagine, the entire castle was EMPTY and everything was ripe for the pickin' so I ran up to the throne room to find Crush waiting to die so I proceeded to pummel him after I pulled him outside the castle and away from any lowbies lookin' to join in. Quickly dispatched (with a dwarven ringmail tunic drop to boot), I ran back up and there was the Ambassador in all his glory. I whacked him and ran outside again, where he proceeded to go after the 5 or 6 lowbies nearby camping legionnaires. He killed a couple of em but turned his attention back to me when I hit him with Tagar's and Listless Power. I had him down to a quarter life when my warrior friend that I was PLing in the beginning came back and joined in. He didn't get any XP, but I gave him the Dirk (lucky it dropped). I then found the two lowbies that died from a result of my pull and gave one the SBS that I'd had for the last 10 levels plus 10p and the other one I gave the tunic from Crush and 10p as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I feel morals are needed even in Norrath, no matter that all the other PCs can't see the face behind the character. Happy hunting!!

I was running around Crushbone one morning collecting belts (34 by the time I was done) and I was also taking out Crush in hopes of a dwarven tunic. The last time I ran up there, D'Vinn was also there. At 29, Crush was conning green to me, but D'Vinn conned blue. I tried to take him out but between him and Crush beating on me, I had to make a hasty retreat, but not before hitting D'vinn with a couple of DoTs. When I came back through, a couple level 16 rangers had finnished him. Point? He was blue to my 29, so I feel the max is off. Just my 2cp.

Collecting belts at level 29? This is exactly what keeps the game from being great. Killing easy spawns for a couple of plat while young hunters are trying to make it in the world. I have been KS's more times in Crushbone (by the likes of you) than I can count. It's a shame they don't implement Warrens rules everywhere. Try to find something challenging to do.

I agree! killing cents just for thier loot is pointless AND mean one time I was killing the trainer (I'm only a lv 11 druid) and had him down to about 25%hp and some lv 39 wizard hit him with 1 spell and killed him (I don't really understand it beings I had him down to 25% b 4 he shot the spell) and the wizard looted him AND got the shield I know cause he laughed at me when I told him it was my kill and said too bad he got the shield I had to kill the trainer 23 more times before I got the shield again. also killing orc cents in one or two hits is CHEAP newbies sit around killing orcs for a living they accually work HARD for 1pp.

# Apr 02 2001 at 11:38 PM Rating: Default
Good Point! at 21 he conns blue to me also. But 2 of us, a 22 pally and myself, couldn't take him out and when the guard or Oracle spawned we had to beat it to the zone each time.
Luckily enough ganged up on him to take him down.
But only after killing a few pc's though... :(

Welcome to the severist undercon in norath! Satan himself wearing blue skin. This freak is buff. Melee classes have quite a hard time with him and unless you are about lvl 30 do not solo melee him, unless you want to die, or unless you have lvl 60 shammy, enchanter, and clerc buffs. My ogre twinkie friend at lvl 35 with like 800-something AC and 1800 Hp (only 900 at the time) was taken down to about 30 health with this elf held the dirk. Good thing is I got it =) since he already had one. This is verant's joke to the conning system... no way a level 22 who he cons green to can take him out unless twinked or you manage to root nuke him fast.
