an ancient wyvern  

I have tried nearly every time Im in SF to get together a group to kill this guy but to no avail. I think alot of level 50+ people when they see a red con mob automatically think or the words "raid" or "corpse recovery". Am I wrong in thinking a 5-6 man group of 55+ cant take him out? He's not a Luclin mob or anything, and probably one of the weakest level 59-60 mobs in the entire game. It just gets to me when I walk into Skyfire and do a zone check and see a 60 epic cleric, 2 55 monks, a 56 druid and me and this guy is roaming near the druid pad kinda ******** up all our pulls and no one responds to me when I ask if they want to group up for 10 min to take him out. When I hit 60 and get all my spells ( a prety long time from now at current prices and drop rates ), I will try to SOLO him if I see him up. Worst that can happen is I die, cant get any rez ( unlikely since SF is so close to so many other zones that hugh level clerics are in ), and spend 15-20 minutes medding and rebuffing. If anyone on Luclin server wants to take a shot at him I think as few as 3 level 55 could do it if the right classes.
Note that this is one of the only "common" spawn mobs in the game that drops certain spells level 58+.
Ok , as an aside, what gives with this guy dropping mages level 60 MALA but not level 60 shaman MALO ??? I know ours is a bit better but its ridiculous that MALA is as cheap as 150pp in the bazaar and 10+ copies are always for sale, but MALO IF it's for sale is 60kpp??? That doesnt sound very balanced to me. I'd like to think that MALOSINI is a misprint in the loot table, but Im sure if he dropped MALO he would be camped constantly as there are very few mobs outside of Old Sebillis that drop this spell.

Guess Ill have to head to Old Sebillis if I want to find people willing to take a chance once in a while. :(

Killed it last night...group was a 52 cleric (me), 52 ranger, 54 shaman, 54 rogue, 52 pally, and 53 druid. Conned red to everyone in the group, so at least level 57. Shaman stuck slow with no problems. Summoned the ranger a time or two, but we had no real problems taking him down. I finished at about half mana.

I was soloing in SkyFire when this guy popped up on track. He was yellow to me at 58, so likely he popped as a level 59 mob. Being a Druid, I was able to land Ensnare on him easily. I kited him to the BW "corridor" and managed to root him. I landed both Drones of Doom (ES Vambraces) and Wings of Death before he broke root the first time. 9 roots later, he was still coming after me, it was at that time that he decided he had enough of me and SUMMONED my wood elf ***.

This is the first mob to ever summon me in SkyFire. I was pummeled for over 200 pts each summon (which he managed to do three times). Had I not had Gate loaded, I would surely have been a twitching corpse at his feet.

Moral of the story: A 58 Druid with full mana can NOT solo this guy. Lesson learned.

While pulling in skyfire one of our group members saw this thing and pulled before conning it. We all jumped on it and we all noticed it con red to everyone. Yikes! Highest member was a 54 so we knew we had a pretty bad mob on our hands. Took forever to killed it and it will knock the snot out of ya. I think we lost just one player during the fight. We had two full grps ranging from 40 to 54. Droppped a high level Cleric spell forgot which one. Funny it did not summon the puller.

it must be funny when u see these pop its like o it was just born but its ancient

i was playing with my level 60 necro... i had my level 59 pet emissary of thule... i took down the dragon pretty easily... necro's must rely on fear to solo no mattter what.... i was soloing alone... and i saw 6 peeps in a group... 1 nec. 1 group.... hmmmmm

took it down one group..average lvl of group 53..only lost chanter to poison dot mostly and dropped "divine intervention" spell. Maybe things are weaker on Torv..hmmm..lol.

Actually VI has posted on this before...

Veeshan didn't Create Norrath... read the story on the website... Norrath existed and THEN Veeshan came and slashed it with her claw.. making dragons.. but also Veeshan is not necessarily a "God" just a Very old/powerful/ancient/wise.. you name it dragon who is worhipped as a god..

argue with me all you want.. i know i'm right

There is a NPC that mentions an "Ancient Wyvern" inside Skyshrine yes skyshrine not skyfire no idea what the quest is about and cant remember the name of the NPC

Had this guy to a sliver of health when he breaks out the posion. I cant remember what the intial hit gets you for. But once he gets ya with posion trust me you will know. I got hit with a heal on my way to the BW zone. I zoned in and started hitting the bandaids, and I still died. But the damage per tick on this guys Dot is HUGE.

BEWARE
