Couldn't find Andad in his usual spot, so I did a little tracking and found him west of the orc camp just north of the Innothule Zone Line. This is on the Fippy DarkPaw progression server. Not sure what he's doing in this new position and wondering if it's on every server or if it's a bug just on Fippy server. His loc is 821, -348
For future reference to any bards attempting this quest (and those who hate having to /loc everything), Andad is right next to the Innothule Swamp zoneline. So if you zone in South Ro from North Ro, he won't be on your track. Just head over to the swamp and he should show up :)
Got almost killed by this fellow as 50 shammy. Rooted, then dotted. Used ebolt and plague. Plague made 55 per tick, and ebolt 145 or something. 200dmg per tick, and he lost 1% always. Also, he summons. So he's one tough ****** Imma gonna get revenge on him someday when feeling like beating him. =)
soloed him at 51 as a necro, but had kei (for the bonus mana then swaped to lich once oom)and had aego, i had tried him once b4 and had to gate b4 he even lost a bubble the key to this guy isnt massive damage, is mana efficiency cause youll oom b4 hes at half if you bod or ebolt, just really worry about keeping snare and fear up and splurt and ignite are good cause they are cheap mana wise and easilly run thier full duration, he does give xp, no loot at all and no faction hit (also muzzle of mardu helps) i was at 1 bubble of health at the end when he died from getting beat on when fear broke when i was to lom to cast, but hs will keep him off ya even after it wore off he didnt summon so i had a sec to stand and get mana back to re fear, tried again the next day with a 51 rogue and got 1 fear resisted and summoned b4 i got it off and we both died =( but a really fun fight, gave half a blue of AA solo at 51, and my guess is only 15-20k hp <heh only, jeeze>
Hey, he is indeed lvl 51, (/con'd him at 51) and hits around 140-150 max. I finnaly decided to give him a shot yesterday. I immediately pet/darknessed/feared him, than proceeded to stack E-bolt (1k), Bond of Death (780ish), Plague (1k), Splurt (1.4k). By this time, Invoke wore off a few times, E-bolt wore off twice, Bond of Death once and I was OOM, he was at 45 percent health. I decided to run, which even with j-boots he kept summoning me, and I ended up dieing. I think with stacking the slow dots first, plus ones I didn't use, like ignite blood, or waiting till a few upgrades to them, will be able to take this bad boy down. I'm takeing a wild guess, that he has around 20k hp's, just from what dots wore off, and the duration of others, and pet dmg in consideration.
I just got done doing this quest...starts in WK at that first guard tower you see comming out of qeynos...you go to misty thicket then to So Ro (Andad ) then to lake rathe then take the ring back to the starting NPC in WK...she will give you the top half of a music sheet...from there i have no freakin idea...
I ve complete this quest too and earn the Proof of Speed (which looks like a ring) as i want to know what i can do else than throwing it in the Lake Rath (i can sold it)
DOH! You didn't finish it. The ring is part of this marathon and ur only reward is the top half of the torn note. Ok now with the ring u have to take it back to where u started make a complete circle and give the ring to the same person who started the marathon and she gives u the note.
All you guys seem a little trigger happy with all your stories of how you fought him and killed him or got wasted by him or whatever. Is he part of a quest? When you hail him (did you try that first or just start hacking?) he says he's waiting for someone. Who? EQ isn't supposed to be a blood fest where you go out and kill every NPC you see. There are things called quests where you may have to kill something but you often have to do other things. I'm curious what this guy is really for besides target practice.
This guy is 51 since he did con white to me at 51 and blue at 52. Im currently lvl 52 DE Necromancer, and i have mixed feelings about NPC's. If they are indiffrent to me or up ( amiable or whatnot) then i leave them alone. If they are dubious, or lower then they are fresh meat on the table. So i just waited for this guy to be blue to me and i gave it a go. ( was bored had nothing else to do) I rooted him to see if he was magic resistant. Root stuck...so i jumped for joy! Cast Ebolt, Dooming darkness, splurt, Bond of death, ( Had regrowth cast on me a while ago by a friend) and lich. Sat down and memmed fear ( was fighting in Lguk so had Screaming terror in its place before ) and right when i stand up saying to myself this guy is cake, he summons me. That's when i knew that i was in far over my head, hehe. So i just ran....got summoned the and hit for 114, ran, got summoned he missed....this time i FD. Looked at his health bar, and it WASN'T EVEN A QUARTER OF THE WAY DOWN!! I said ***** this i'll try him at lvl 53 with my new rogue pet...first spell will probably be darkness, next spell fear, pet, dot's, rinse and repeat...shouldn't be too hard..i hope lol

They give him this kind of insane level and HP so you WONT kill him. He is not meant to be killed and will poof (no exp or anything else including a corpse on death)
Maybe Verant should give these quest NPCS an INSTANT UNRESISTABLE DEATH TOUCH, and you mindless d3wds will stop killing everything that moves, and start trying your "h" key instead.
Well my guild took him out pretty easily He does have a Hell of a lot hp but with a bunch of tanks and With the sks fearing Him he wasnt that hard and after his death i did get exp and also he respawns really fast ) So whoever said hey Morons y dont U get your facts Rights before U open your big mouth btw the Summoning was a pain in the A$$ but Lucky we had no one die )
so what your saying is no one has killed him yet and eq atlas is wrong about his lvl? ok but he is in the realy thing right? well what do you get for finishing that quest? and what are that stats on it? and who can wear it?
Me lvl 60 necro and two guildies both lvl 51 attacked him. He was red to the 51s and blue to me. The fight was going ok till I went oom. Make sure you keep him slowed my slow ran out and that was the end of the right he got out of range of me till his fear droped and he summoned me. I would fear him again and by the time I get slow off he is out of range. The lvl 51 wizard died but I got to the zone and the lvl 51 cleric gated. We had his to 1/8 or less heath. We are planning on going back and killing him. This time with the cleric healing my pet and me.
Me and 3 other people where able to kill this ****. I was 52 and the highest person I think was 55. He has alot of HP and the best method we used was 2 necro's fearing while every one else beat on him. I died and the other necro had about half health. He does not have a high magic resist at all for his lvl. Didn't drop any thing and zero faction hits.
I was in Sro killing orcs with a SK troll. Then the orcs out numbered us, so we had to zone(luckely we had sow) BUT, the SK had to cast a spell on him(he was around lvl 12) Then, with one hit, he was dead(the sk)
hehe, I'm a 54 SK, this guy cons blue to me. He anoys me everytime i run by there, cuz basicly I'm an Inkie, and I don't like white people... so I decide I'm gonna try to kill him.. He fear kites real well... only problem, I can hack him to bits, and blow an entire bar of mana, but his HP bar never gets down past 3/4... I zoned. Enuf of that crap... mobs that dont die?? whatever VI...
He is the 2nd leg of a relay contest that starts in West Karena to Misty Thicket to this guy then to its end at lake rathe where you get a Proof of Speed (looks like a ring).
Also, I don't think he is a bard since all the bards I have encountered have been warmly to me, but he is only indifferent. Also, he is used in the relay quest, which begins in West Karana and ends right outside of the Arena.
While running through South Ro the other day, a message was sent out through the zone which read "You will not evade me soandso". Anyway, I came across this guy being attacked by a level 55 necro and a 56 druid. I watched most of the battled (he was at about 80% health when I arrived) and I must say, this guy has a ton of hitpoints. Also, when he wasn't being feared (which wasn't often), I saw him hit the necro for upwards of 140.
He isn't agro to anything ! Ive seen a Troll Shadowknight [ The Mosted Hated Race/Class In the game ] Hail him and not do nothing . So he isn't agro to anything if he won't kill a TSK
I think ther most hated race/class at this point would be an Iksar Nec. It just doesnt get any more evil than this. With the exception of a shadowknight.. altho I cant remember if Iksar can be shadowknights.. this may be the only more evil class / race combo.
