Mina Glimmering is a rare spawn - either has multiple spawn points, or a very large single roaming path encompassing the eastern three-quarters of the zone.
Spawned NW corner closer to the brownie camp but not quite that far, then seemed to path S/SE. Killed Thistle a minute or two before Mina spawned. So maybe key on the non-named uncommon mobs along with the wandering trash slaughter?
Ive been in Lfay for hunter achievement and tried the method mentioned below... it got Crookstinger to spawn 7 times in a row. So I thought maybe it has its own cycle, so I left it up and followed it around to see if it ever despawned. As I was doing that, I was still taking out non-factioned trash. I got Mina on track at the same time as Crookstinger, Thistle Underbrush, Bracken Underbrush. She spawned in the far NE corner by the zoneline.
This was a fairly straight forward cycle. I zoned in and began clearing all roaming mobs. Once the first named spawned, Old Dimshimmer, it then just cycled through each name by continuing to kill all trash. Perhaps it was good luck on RNG or it might be a cycle. I went Old Dimshimmer, Queen Nasheeji, Mina Glimmerwing, Crookstinger, and finally Whimsy Larktwitter. I never got a duplicate. Achievement completed in less than 2 hours at 65 just slaughtering roaming named. Having track is basically an essential on this one.
I believe that the above information is true, however in my passing I saw a repeat of Queen Nasheeji.
I believe that running around the zone is the trick in this zone (NOT!). However, I don't think this is what you have to do. I was killing sets of non faction mobs using my ranger. For example I would kill all the skeletons, I went on with wasps, wolves or spiders. Then from another post Thistle Underbrush (fast reoccurring mob). Bracken Underbrush, Princess Joleenam and Equestrielle the Corrupted are place holders. Other place holders I suspect are the roaming shadow knight and other single non faction mobs that roam the zone.
Also, Mina Glimmerwing spawn right near the Elf fort and I saw here being attacked. So when you see her go for her. Thankfully, I got her in time.
Killed her today with my lvl 24 druid. Pretty easy kill, used all my mana though with DD lightning spell. All she dropped when I killed her was a lousy cap and a fairy wing though :(
Just found here today well 5 mins before i posted this, coned light blue to a 31st druid, I killed her with np, she droped Red Wood Wand, magic item, Primary/Secondary, effect pillar of fire, 5 charges, All/all No damgae or delay. Just an update, This was on MT server =)
:( stoopid fairy was blue to me at 25th, she does lotsa damage and doesn't like being rooted, she ran off and got killed by a stoopid npc so no loot for me :(
Its a good idea that they brought the ring out. People would be 'almost' unkillable. Think.. Jboots, and glimmer ring, gate out when dying and Never, ever die. Pretty much. I'm glad they took it out.
That doesn't make sense. The spell gate still exists in the game... if that logic were true, shamen would be unkillable. They have SoW and Gate, don't they? Shammies still die.
Well, agressive is perhaps a better word. She attacked my 38 ranger last night when I hailed her. This was on 6/15/01. She conned quite green, and couldn't touch me in melee, but did get off a few of very fast casting smite spells for 51, 54, and 10. No exp or faction hits for her death, and only 7 silver, 11 copper as loot.
Why dose Verant always nerf some really god things? The ring she drops, scimitar of the mistwalker, gnoll-slayer, Etc. I think they could have made it hybrid only (RNG PAL SHD) cuz they get some spells, but not gate, and frankly, im never gunna pay 1.2KP for that gate potion. (Ever notice how they never have Hybrid only, RNG PAL SHD, only items?) Well, just my 2CP.
I am a level 22 Druid and Mina cons Blues to me. She hits a lot harder than her level as well. I has to haul bark for the zone after getting her down halfway twice, just to have her do a full heal each time. I Finally ran out of mana.
While this is a good site and i get alot of info i been wondering something so i cross refernced with 2 other pages and found out that the Glimmer Ring that we all want is no longer in the game it has been removed another thing is she is about lvl 25-27 also those who had these rings dont anymore for their rings turned into a cloth cape Man i would have loved to have one too. well happy hunting now that we know we cam quit camping her. KARISHA
makes sense to me. I am an 18 ranger and she con'd yellow to me and then proceeded to handily kick the sniggly out of me when my camo faded out on me near her. She also only lost approx 1/4 of her health in the fight with me dual wielding a PGT and SWA just my 2cp
I took my level 18 half-elf paladin into Lesser Faydark last week. Mina attacked him without provocation, conned yellow, and killed him. So she sometimes spawns at level 19 or 20. Her chief weapon against my paladin was what I think is a cleric spell. Anyway, he was "smitten" for significant damage several times.
the reason it only says effect : gate is because the person who had it used the charge of gate. it would say above 1 charge or something like that. this is a common mistake with the reaper of the dead also. ppl think it has unlimited charges of complete heal when someone has already used up the 1 charge
