DA in EF
# Dec 18 2001 at 11:38 AM Rating: Default
I hunt by the south tower in EF quite frequently. And I see him very often there. He has never aggroed on me or my party at that location even during heated battles with multiple MOBs.

Well, the long and short of it is that me (50 druid) and my friend (52 necro) were camping IGs in everfrost and someone said this guy was up. We had no idea this guy was lvl 50 so we /ran 1 100 to decide who would go after it. He won, he died. He wanted revenge (and is a proud sort) so he gave it another go...died. He purely wanted revenge now..hehehe...so we paired up. Buffed pet and sent it in with thorns. Pet took a few hits but as soon as my snare hit him (which he resisted) he was PISSED at me, completely ignored the pet wacking him in the back. So necro boy cast a debuff on him, that really got him pissed, and I just kept snaring. About the 4th one finally hit and he just kept chasing the necro around while the pet wacked him good in the back. I'll give verant one thing, this guy is smart/dumb. Smart for ignoring pet and going after PC, dumb for letting pet do almost all the dmg to kill his sorry ***** Both of my dots stuck (drifting death and immolate), but the snare wasn't sticking very well. Oh well, he's dead and my friend got the mantle for a souvenir. :) Btw, he can outrun sow for sure, and I barely outdistanced him with Form of the Great Wolf (lvl 44 wolf from).

Be Thankful

51 Nec and 56 Druid - Druid Snared - Nec Splurts - when splurt one is done - SEND a SOWED pet NOT TAUNTING and Splurt again and Kyte him with a POWERFUL 10K Dot (your pet not taunting)- If u send in pet right away Dark *** will kill it fast - This method will work all day

Why be thankful - if he were able to summon he would be a Epic Battle

Finally completed my Mantle of Souls. I killed the DA 3 times in EF before I got the mantle to drop. If he has 2 visible daggers one will be the bloody dirk so if you only see 1 dagger visible he should drop the mantle. His PH is a goblin whelp that runs his same path. IF you goto back of S Tower with your back to tower he or PH will walk from your left to right close to tower (slower than the other roaming spawns there). Path starts a spot across the lake to left from tower (east I think), to near tower, then right through the 2 igloos up the hill and then warps back to 1st point. I never got accurate time of this spawn but it is very long I think. Never saw PH sooner than 8 or 10 hours though someone else could have killed it. Wouldn't expect to see the DA faster then every couple days. I recommend camping a lowbie char here just to look for him and kill goblin whelp if spawned. Was some work for 5e necro and 55 druid. Only resists seem to be MR as fear would land about 50% at lvl 52. Snare and kite with pet, splurt, BoD, ignite, EB, and druid DoT's.

Everfrost Despawn point

As a Low level Shaman I camped the Three Igloos in EF. This guy walk by two times and Despawn the times I was there.

# Jan 04 2001 at 9:42 PM Rating: Default
In my multiple campings of the Caster Igloos, I saw him walk by about every 5 mins. He came off the plaines and walked through the igloos and despawned up the hill.

Apparently, he spawns all over the world, not just in Everfrost and Feerrott. According to Allakhazam's quest database: "The bloody mantle comes from the assassin, which is a level 50 mob that randomly spawns from Faydwer to the Karanas, to Everfrost."

While I don't personally know if he spawns in *all* those zones, I have personally seen him in West Karana, North Karana, South Karana, the Rathe Mountians, Everfrost, and Feerrott, and I think I may have seen him in Kithicor, though I'm not certain. It seems he gets around.

As for the loot, the mantle is apparently used in a Paineel quest to get the Mantle of Souls (ac+1 str-5 sta-5 int+10 mana+75, eru nec only, lore, magic, no drop) and supposedly increases your faction with Miragul's Lich tremendously, though how a Paladin would successfully complete this quest is beyond me, as it reportedly requires high faction with a heretic to complete. I suppose a Paladin can help some necro friend do this and then the necro can do the phylactery part of the FA quest....

assasin location
# Aug 13 2000 at 8:19 AM Rating: Decent
I noticed that no one had a loc for this guy. I can't say for sure that he's not a roaming mob but ive seen him twice now and in the same spot several weeks apart. Had read this before when i was curious about him the first time and got the loc. He was in Freerot at 79,1873 or there abouts just doin the old sit and spin. This may or may not be a spawn point. Good luck to all you camping him. He's still red at 34

Faction 'n Stuff

Yeah, he's indiff to Barbs. My barb's a shaman who worships the six hammers, and he left her alone. I actually went up and hailed him, but he didn't say anything. It really freaked me out when I saw him crossin' the south river wall. I thought, OMG, I'm gonna die! Nope. Walked up and stood on his feet and he just stared at me. ::shrug:: Go figure.
incredible

saw this guy near the lizard camps by the undead ruins in Feerrott, bouncer Flerb killed the lizards and he jumped out suddenly, I saw him shred bouncer Flerb in a few secs, wth near 100% hp left, he said something like "feel the sting of my blade fool" and proceeded to kill bouncer Flerb, thought he was a player who was incredibly powerful, but he conned dubious to my DE necro.
lag

chances are Endder if you followed him and he disappeared it was lag .....he stopped a while back or somethin
Dark Assassin Aggro

I have not confirmed this, but many higher level Barbarians have told me that he won't attack me as I am a wood elf bard - I am not so sure that I want to test him though - hehe .... Is the mantle a "bloody mantle" ? If so I think it is used in the Fiery Avenger Quest indirectly through the Quest for the Mantle of Souls (Raises faction witht the Lich Miragul in the Everfrost Caves so that you aren't KOS and can give him his soul back so that the Necromancer Miragul appears - Miragul drops items needed in the Fiery Avenger Quest)

bloody dirk
# May 16 2000 at 8:29 PM Rating: Decent
i got a rogue and i was wondering the price on his bloody dirk and if possible its drop rates. since its not such a great weapon for a level 50 MoB it shouldnt be that much right?
No KoS for me
# May 12 2000 at 8:53 PM Rating: Decent
He left me alone in EverFrost. I was wondering maybe because I'm a Barbarian Rogue??

RE: The dagger
# May 07 2000 at 4:15 PM Rating: Decent
The dagger is a bloody dirk. it is 6 22, 3dex, and 3str I think. I have not aquired one yet, but I am sure that it won't be too hard. It's not a fantastic weapon.
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 04 2000 at 7:20 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Nice to know that you've never fought the mob, but yet you're sure it won't be too hard. Let us all know how many seconds it takes for him to drop you onto your brainless skull. : )
The dagger
# May 02 2000 at 4:21 PM Rating: Decent
I read up a little that he dropped a mantle and a dagger for rogues only. I would like to know more of this dagger if possible. A name or stats would do.
KoS'd ya'll?

the dark assasin got ya in feerrot? he regarded my barbarian indifferently in everfrost.
Many thanks....

Indeed, your information is quite helpful, you have my thanks. It is unfortuneate that you do not reside in the same realm as I, for I would enlist your help in finding him. However, I will report my own experience when I find him, perhaps I will be able to add helpful information on him as well.

Voras, I'm afraid I do not know how often he spawns but I can tell you he's not rare. Zypher and I went to everfrost again last night and found the Dark Assassin. After 10-15minutes of battle, we slayed him again. I do not know what his respawn rate is, but he is not camped by high level players because his loot is not great for how high a level he is. I hope this helps you.
