Soloing DVinn
# Aug 13 2000 at 12:36 PM Rating: Decent
The ONLY to solo DVinn without serious risk is to root him. I did this several times with my level 30 Wizard and had no real problem. He would just stand there and take my punishment. And it felt great after all the times he killed me hehe. I took my level 30 warrior there for a little revenge, and got beat like a rented mule. I had to jump out the window and run like a scared little girl. So in my opinion, root is the only way to solo him.

I met DVinn when I was on lvl 11. He surprised me becuase i was camping the castle front and all of a sudden, he started hitting me. I was like OMG!!! he hit me for 42 dmg each!! of course, i died cause i only had 100 hp left after 3legos

Soloed him easy when I was level 24 with my mage. Tried with my friends level 30 pally and I had to run for the zone. My friend didn't have bad equip either, mith 2 hander, near complete Armor of ro. Even with LoH he just hits too hard and fast.

So...

Just be careful if your a tank. You can pull it off easy with a few cleric heals. Damage sheild would be a good idea too. This guys like dorn, fights like a monk with a fbss. Throw on a high level damage sheild and this guy will shread him self apart.
Not hard for group

Finaly the other day I found a group willing to attempt to take out DVinn. Most people jump out the window as soon as he pops, and don't come back till they know hes dead. I, a 16 Druid, two 16 necros, an 18 warrior, and a 16 cleric took him out eventualy. You need tanks, and pets and clerics and druids to keep them alive though. We had our tank buffed up to 800hp and despite our constant healing DVinn still got him down to two bubles of health by the time he ran. Useing a damage shield on your tanks is also a good idea, as is sow, just in case things get out of hand :P
stealth

if you have a good skils and are a really good rogue you can sneak in (usually) and see this guy. then you get behind him and try to pick him then imediatly hide again usually unnoticed. after a few tries you will get a plat and a head and excedingly rarely the dragoon dirk, although geting the dirk causes him to agro then you have to run for the window getting BS'ed once or twice. then run for the zone.

As a badass rogue, I would dispute this statement. Your first problem is the Royal Guard, who can see invis and will attack you if you are in their line of sight, one hit, and your hide/sneak combo is down, and everything will take you on, if you make it to the zone without dying from BSs then I salute you, you crazy *******. Even if the castle has recently been cleared, then you can wait in the tower room for him to spawn. However, most likely the Royal Guard will spawn first and break down your hide/sneak combo. And if you're powerful enough to take down the Royal Guard, why are you just pickpocketing Dvinn? Pickpocket AND kill him is my usual method of ops. Good Luck.
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 01 2000 at 11:56 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This guy sucks!!!! a DE monk. and he hits hard!!! and doubles... me being a 14 bard, started wailing on him wen people started yelling for help. Me and my barbed whip couldn't hit him and i was behind hime and breating right down his neck. So i said to hell with the whippin, and broke out with my lvl 12 DD song. HE ______ing resisted it. UGGGGGGG!!!!! WTF. well i then resumed my hitting, and i accually got off a few hits b4 he fell!!! this guy has got some major agi, and major MR. Watch out for this guy
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 28 2000 at 3:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) when i was level 14 me and a bunch of 15's took him and i dont care about all you idiots whining about how hard he is and all this bull crap.and no i dont care about your comments.idiots...
solo?

Think a 25 magician using a level 20 pet spell and a 161dmg DD could solo this badboy? I'd like revenge and a dirk or two.

Dvinn is probably like a griffawn in nk. ever try melleing a griff? you'd get your **** whooped. but if you just snare/root nuke them they are easy. Just dont give em a chance to whoop yer **** in melee and you should have no problems at all
D'vinn rocks ice

I know im a little too low of a lvl to know this but, ive seen more then one idiot die by fightin' d'vinn melee. Ive also seen a person who d'vinn was green to him, 15seconds...dead....

In ending, D'vinn is a lvl 20 or so that fights like a lvl 27 or so.

mago can solo him easy

With the new pet spell at lvl 20, it's easy for a magician to solo Dvinn. Just cast a water pet, buff him, and use your new damage shield on him. Then all you have to do is : send the pet, run, cast a bolt (146 damage), run (lose eventually 44 pts 3 times in a round :) ) bolt again. With 3 bolts he begins to run, your pet will finish him. Water pets succeed very well on their taunts. You need to have 50% mana before the fight or you re dead ! Soloed him 7 times, lost one time ( if the throne room isn t camped you can die not because of dvinn but with the 5 or 6 orcs who immediately come on you when dvinn enter here running ). I had only one dirk on 7 kills, seems to be a rare drop.

this is more about the dirk thing. it is true this thing takes a damn lot of time to get. i believe i've never looted it from him and i've killed him about fifty times. (they weren't in a row so don't worry)

Then some 16th level druid is behind me while i'm camping it saying I GET THE DIRK, I GET THE DIRK! i told him how often it drops but he continued it. so next time d'vinn came i pulled him over to the druid and gated away for fun. hehe. i happened to be bound next to the druid so he showed up in a minute dead while i laughed at him :)
I'm gonna try to draw again (here's the druid)

I was in CB helpin my friend with the screaming mace quest when someone shouted dvinn to zone. Well Dvinn was out slaughtering everyone on his way to zone so i rooted him to save the guy that was running, all i had to do was cast creeping crud and kept blasting him with my Crazy Lightning spell and he was no problem. Dvinn is more of a guy that tests ur luck more than ur lvl/classs/twinked factors. As far as this Dragoon Dirk drop on him goes, I was in a group of 4 total and in one night we had gotten a total of 5 dirks so just depends on luck.
End of Dvinn

In my high teens I visited Crushbone, i had grown weary of the courtyards of unrest and felt that the castle of Crushbone might prove more interesting. After joining a group, we proceeded to hold the throne room. Other groups began to join in, overcrowding the area and lessening our profits. We had seen high levels passing through on occasion, heading to the tower room. There were four of us, we felt that we may not be able to handle what we found in the tower, but just watching the high levels would entertain us for a short time. Shortly thereafter, we found ourselves alone with a high level paladin. He was in search of Dvinn's heart, and thus offered to help us if needed if we would keep the tower clear while he waited for Dvinn. Dvinn was a slow spawn that night so we enjoyed the paladin's company for a while. Our level of confidence raised with every orc that fell to the ground. Eventually we announced to the paladin that Dvinn should fall at our hands. We had no interest in the heart at this time, only that Dvinn would provide us with the exp and excitement that we sought. The paladin left early with the heart, thereafter Dvinn fell, but with an occasional loss to the group. Each fight with Dvinn was quick, his hp was not as high as most, but the fights were long enough that the tank took severe damage. Before long the group disbanded, and a high level mage kept me company. I watched as he kept the room clear. I had my best pet summoned, and a bar full of mana; again my confidence returned. With the watchful eyes of the mage upon me, I would take Dvinn solo. The mage kept the tower clear while we waited for Dvinn, groups below were keeping the throne room preoccupied. This would keep the fight between Dvinn and I. Soon Dvinn arrived and my pet became my shield as I began casting a planned arrangement of spells. Scent of Dusk was my debuffer. Next I cast Engulfing Darkness to slow the escape of Dvinn once Fear was cast. As Dvinn began to run, I cast my dots. Heat Blood, Heart Flutter,and Leach. As the dots ate away at his health, his escape brought him outside the castle walls, I used the remains of my mana to cast a series of Lifetaps and kept Fear on him. He reached the courtyard with a sliver of health. I had drawn my dagger in case the dots did not finish him before Fear wore off. This was not even necessary since the low levels in the courtyard began either running away or attacking him until he fell.
You will notice that most casters have the same spells over a period of 4 levels. Meaning a level 16 necro is equivalent in casting power to a level 19 necro with the exception of resists. With melee, level is important. Dvinn can be killed at these levels if you dont have to absorb the damage he puts out(Fear was my solution). I personally ran out of mana, and this may also be a problem for you depending on your int or int bonuses.

ha, what server are you on dasinon? when you go get raped by dvinn, I wanna see it..my warrior got murdered by him, lvl 22, full crafted except for helm, which is crested, and a couple yaks..since I've never played a wood elf before and I was twinked quite a bit, and he was blue, I gave it a shot...well, he stomped me mercilessly..

hit for double 60s? where the hell are you hunting? even in cazic if something double attacks you for 60 at lvl 22 you are screwed. group or no group, i dont think a lvl 22 cleric could keep you alive. also, btw, past lvl 20 soloing almost anything that cons even + as a warrior is nearly unsoloable. =)

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 10 2000 at 3:09 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Haha you loser I'm level 24 and he reason he is so hard is that most normal mobs our level can dodge everything we throw at it and attack really frikkin fast. I was in the tower yestserday, he spawned, bashed him good and then he jumped out the window and a level 45 shaman killed him. GOOD DAY.

Dvinn is a punk

I am a lvl 17 enchanter, and I have soloed Dvinn before. Can't do it everytime and never in the tower. But when someone trains him out just go to the edge of the trainer hill. Tashan, Root, Sanity Warp, Choke, repeat as neccesary. Worked for me at 17 and he had the dagger. Which I now carry around.
Joo can solo @ 23+
# Jul 03 2000 at 1:55 PM Rating: Decent
Hi, I just want to say you can solo him pretty easily at lvl 23+, for those who don't beleive me are probally not Warrior or Wizzard, Those 2 classes will get the most skill soloing stuff then druids, because they can solo stuff, If your a druid and you kite, don't even try to solo him until 29+,as for those Wizzie/Warrior folks, you can solo him lvl 23+
killin him easy
# Jul 02 2000 at 10:37 AM Rating: Decent
I soloed Dvinn about 8 times just the other day, he never took more then a bub from me. Just root him, back up, and dot him or blast him. Now I am level 37 so it was very easy for me, but even lower level casters shouldnt have much prob, just root, backup and blast him. In fact I dot'd him, sat down, and waited for him to die :P

I'm 29 now, I like to come back to my ol' CB,(now lets get to the point).Snaring and Nuking Dvinn is IMPOSSIBLE, especially if he has a dirk, the reason is, as you are running everyone in the zone will jump on Dvinn and KS him (Has happened before) But the Root and Nuke approach is very nice.Works wonderefully, Btw, i would like to know what that Ogre's name the Ambassador one is the one near ogre town, that would prolly be the way to go if i wanted a Dirk.
