for every weasel who wants to have it allowed to exploit bugs in EQ, there are a half dozen honest people that would consider it as spoiling the game.

So yeah, i will stand up, to support and applaud Verant for doing a good job at keeping the game enjoyable for all of us who would like to play it as it was intended, rather than abuse any bugs that are found.

Thank you very much.

sleeper is stronger than anything that lives, even stronger than Mayong.... he has never been killed and also to the post about he has 2.1 mil Hps, how would we know if hes never been killed?????? IMO i think hes a Merchant. also Trak is like BP LORD of Kunark and the highest mob before Velious came out, i beleive about 5 Cazels can kill Trakanon, maybe

the sleeper is in Sleeper's Tomb.
You have to get into his liar and kill the guard to get him to spawn. He IS the harder mob in the game, so far. The zone to Sleeper's Tomb is in Eastern Wastes, but locked. To get the key, you must kill various Velious Dragons and get a necklace, which is considered one, if not THE best
neckpiece in the game.
I heard a rumor, that killing the Sleeper will open the portal to Plain of Decay, but still need to get that confirmed.

Look in your Everquest folder. Do you see ANY file named decayplane.s3d or anything similar? NO! Because it doesn't exist. You can find every single zone in the game by looking in your Everquest folder, just look for files named ***.s3d. If it isn't there, it doesn't exist. Sleeper can't be killed until Verant wants him to be killed. Period.

Huh?

Dont mean to get offa the subject (and dont mean to sound dumb) but who is "THE SLEEPER" *eerie music*

Is this really a mob, and if so is it really stronger than trak?

where does this so called 'sleeper' reside anyway?

sorry im a little outta the loop i guess.... :þ

Also, (this is off the subject too but i dont know where else to ask this question)- what is the name of that big monkey guy that looks like king kong? I forgot his name and his location, and wanted to look him up.... heard he was pretty strong too, not as strong as trak though i think...

sleeper is in sleepers tomb. sleepers tomb can be located from eastern wastes. basically wha the dude above you said. he was brought up, because he is considered one of the tuffest baddies in the game. as this draggie here is.

Thanx... then what is the name of the king kong guy and what zone is he in? this is my last question and then i'll shut up!

PS- the reason i couldn't find the sleeper anywhere is cuz i didn't realize that his real name is kerafyrm.... that made it a lot easier to find him LOL!!

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 13 2001 at 3:24 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) actually, the sleeper has been killed, even though he is not meant to be killed. The Sleeper dropped 2 cloth caps. And no, i'm not kidding.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 09 2001 at 5:25 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Nice story. Too bad no one believes that crap. It's true. He has been killed. Killed by a gm making him die rather than killing the whole server. As far as the cloth caps go? Come on man. Think of a little better one than that.

Cloth caps are in the loot tables of the warders in Sleeper's Tomb. The guild that killed the first warder the first time were rather pissed when all it dropped were 4 cloth caps.

If you peruse Absor's little pseudo-discussion page, you'll find a post stating this very thing.

Another reason the "uber" guilds don't tell anyone their strategies on killing these type of mobs is that then they would have competition. When you consider a 3 or 7 day spawn rate for alot of these dragons, people do want to kill them, infact alot of people do, so the fewer guilds that know how, the greater chance you will get to the mob first. Thus alot of times you'll have 1 or 2 people from several different guilds sitting in a zone for hours and hours waiting on a single mob to spawn.

As for as the ppl who say they solo uber dragon, comeon.. no need to get worked up, it's obviously a joke.

As far as Trak being tough, he has 32k hps max for kunark, that's nothing anymore.. my guild has got it down so he dies in approximately 15-20seconds. never gets more than one aoe off sometimes not even one. So there are alot tougher mobs in Velious. With the hp cap removed.

yea

about the sk harmtouch thing it might not work on trakky since he breaths poison and it is poision based, but if you got him down to 30 percent with the Main tanks and then brought in the wizzys and a full group of lvl 60 sks it would work great, but you will never find that many sk's there just isnt that many kind of sad ( I have seen a group of SK's do it on Venril Sathir and do it well.

#Anonymous, Posted: May 30 2001 at 4:15 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Logical thinking, that doesnt take an "uber" guild. Just study the mob, see its weakness and its strength. Reduse its strength and strike where its most vounerable. All it takes is that you know what all classes can provide and how to control the small powers of many. The guilds you refere to as "uber" have learned this the hard way or had the information passed on to them. If they dont want to share it they likely consider it to be the their key to their "great reputation". Nothing really "uber" about beeing unwilling to share info and experience, if thats what you think it stands for.

OK killing Trak,

only done it with my guld a few times , but here is what I learned. First you'll want about 2 groups of 55+ to go in and clear to the juggernaugts and all, there is a room near a bridge that is very close to Trak , but out of aggro.

You need a lvl 55+ mage with Coth(call of the hero) and a member of his group bound at the entrance to OS. after the clear groups are in place, a caster in the mages group invites people as they zone in , the mage coths them , and they disband. once everone is there , usually around 30 people. EVERYTHING is cleared, all the juggs, toljepump whatever his name is (if you can't clear EVERTHING around trak, then you can't kill trak.

For buffing , you want a necro to DMF everyone, you want a shaman to cast shadoo on everyone, and posion potions and your best resist gear is in order, you should have no trouble at all getting your PR to 220+. The AOE poison dot will still most likely hit you , oh well =/

Group composition , you'll want at least 2 very strong tank groups , to rush him first. Then you want a few chanters there to mana seive him, any debuffs you can get to land.. then have all the wizzies and casters open up on him around 30-40%.

The Trak raids I have been on he never lasted more then about a minute.

#Anonymous, Posted: May 27 2001 at 6:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) lets say 3 groups kill this *****. then what happens with loot does he drop EVERY brest[plate or just one at a time? that would really suck to go LD right before the loot. any one know how they spilt up the loot? or is it first come first serve.

BLood ember is the best out of all the armor sets.... a SK could VERY easily solo without using ANY mana with the effects of the various peices. All the others are just average compared to the rest in my opinion.

I was there when trak fell, ka boom! My Group consistedof a level 60 Shammy, 3 level 60 clerics (i was one) , a 60 warrior , and a 60 Necro. There was 3 other goups there too, not sure whaty was in them though. I got my Breast plate though, Donals Chestplate of Mourning, and it is SWEET ! The unlimited complete heal is awesome, i am gonna try trak alone sometime. I just keep healing myself.

#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 05 2001 at 12:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Hi im a 54sk on terrew marr i hunt in sebilis alot i will not get a chance to even go against trak until 56 at least but the other day i was in oasis and a troll sk came upon me begging me for stuff i said ok let me see what i had i gave him a bracer and he said no thats junk he said i need some real armor and im like how much money do you have he said all ive got is real money not money on here and so im like well sorry THEN i saw his FUNGI TUNIC and i said where did you get that he said from a friend meaning prolly EBAY he said another 20sk had a BLOODEMBER BREASTPLATE ARMS AND LEGS and was going to trade it to him for the FUNGI TUNIC... I said your an idiot and yes i was getting mad I asked him do you even know what the BE breastplate Drops off of and he said know and i was like whatever man... Anyway my point being if i see a level 13 with blood ember i will quit everquest and never play again same goes with any of the specific Kunark Class armor and if you have some that is not your class u shouldnt... anyway my theory and point being E-bay will eventually ruin the game (( sorry thats all i have to say though ooh and BTW about the HT thing yes sk's on all raids dont need to HT mobs until the mob is at like 30 percent

Can Harmtouch Kill Him

I was wondering if two full groups of lvl 60 shadowknights could all harmtouch at the same time and kill him? I mean that is a lot of damage and if he has more hp than that and claws for 650 he would be impossible to kill before the people fighting him would all be dead.

650 is very hard for melee damage but its not as bad as it sounds since by the time you could really fight him the tanks in the group would have 2k+ hp and with good healers it is possible to keep everyone alive while trak goes down. dying really isnt that bad at that level cause you can always get an exp rez when the fight is over. i have heard of max groups (only 45 people can attack a creature at one time or they will all LD correct?) or more being needed to take down trakanon. while it might be possible to find a way to do a harm touch kill it is not likely that anyone would try it. it would be easier to do it with a well organized group/guild

Except that HT is very resistable before 55.

At 55 SK's get a disc called "unholy aura" which adds 50% damage and makes it less resistable.

At 55, with my unholy disc, my HT was still resisted.

So no, this idea wouldn't work.

Two full groups of SKs with clerics backing them, shammy's buffing them, enchanters debuffing Trak, mages/wizs nuking, and necros manaing feeding the clerics, and the rest of the classes doing their respective roles...yes...oh wait...that's a well organized raid.

ummm... 2 full gruops of sk's aren't usally on the list of things raid leaders want on a well organized raid. where did all this sk crap come from? some n00b asking if a bunch of HT's from sk's could kill trak? on a raid, HT's aren't important enough to go out of your way to get 2 full groups of sk's. there wouldn't even be 2 full groups of tanks (1 for suicide group, but no other full groups of um)

#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 14 2001 at 5:34 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Dude that is one of the stupidest questions ever, please post relavent material here. yes groups of SK could hurt it badly they wouldn't live long cause they could deal with this dragon beating the S%^T out of them. If they could even get close to this Mob which i doubt but if they could they would die quickly, and would need a cleric to rez them, but wait the dumb question was could a group of SK's deal with MoB, in a nutshell NO!

That wasnt a stupid question and your anwser makes no sense at all. First 2 groups of sks Could Not hurt trak bad. 2nd Harmtouch would more then likely be resisted. Oh btw you sound pretty newbish to me umm... "They need a cleric to rez them" - " They would die quickly and they couldnt get close to a mob"? First they could get close to trak but I will agree they will die quickly. Though I have never been on a trak raid I have been on several naggy/vox raids. Aviously the closest you ever got to trak(or any dragon was that griffen that tried to kill you in ec. So for your info "Common use your head" "ply post Relavent material here"
