Not solo. My old main is a 65 war, time/e planes gear and 400 AA. This guy still max hits in the 565 range? His HP is too high for you to kill him quickly. However you could kill it with a healer of any sort. Also you need a Cleric to even trigger him so you and a cleric could easily duo him.

Just fought on vulak.. like a day or 2 after velious unlocked.. and barely killed him... was hitting uber geared tank for 500 a hit... (killed an epic pet in two hits)
73 mage 234 aa's had baby box cleric hand in message to naxot then ixiblat spawned, went down in maybe 2 minutes to air pet, aa pets and nukes did have to self heal pet once but still a painfully easy fight. I remember when this guy took a raid to drop him now I just hope chardok goes this easy.
Duo'd him yesterday with me (49 cleric) and a guildmate (75 ranger). The hardest part was waiting around for Naxot to spawn then having to rescue her from wandering skeletons - they are KOS to her and will more than likely path by and kill her within 1 to 2 minutes of her spawn, which in my opinion is a glaring design flaw.
Attempted this mob with 66 monk and 66 druid, baz geared. Had him down to about 30% when druid got summoned and killed. Had steadfast servant up. One heal pot later had him to 20% and died. Enlisted the help of a higher level monk who pummeled him in just a few secs. Many thanks to Shirozen on Druzzil/Xev.
Just killed him with a 76 monk (2.0), 76 beastlord (2.0), 70 cleric, 70 warrior, 72 druid, 68 warrior. I remember killing him back in the kunark days with a full raid and expected more out the fight. No spells were cast except a slow spell and he was dead in just a few ticks. I forgot how wimpy we all were back in the kunark days. Anyways gave me a good laugh.
my bst just raped this thing lol by my lvl 67 bst.... slow stuck the first time no poison dots landed but i didn't try disease ended up with 70% health and 50% mana cuz i kept tryin to land chimeras blood hit me once frost spear land all 4 times
Ok.. the other day I handed in the shell to the Iskar, and went and found Ixi. RL came up so I marked it on my map and logged.. when I came back he wont spawn.. is there ANY way to get him to spawn with out redoin the entire frickin epic?

What is this "real life" you speak of? There is only EQ. Put RL on hold and finish your epic. :)
I can't remember where I saw this, but I thought it was funny as hell at the time and relevant to your post. "Real life? I thought that EverQuest was real, and that everything else was fantasy!"
Soloed him today on my 72 cleric. Took about 5 min because of my weak dps. Had Ward of Reprisal up and Vow of Valor. Hit my DA about halfway after I procced my HoT to regain some health and let him eat himself. He dropped the staff and the mantle.
Spawned mob with cleric, ran em both down to the raid mob. needless to say, i was not prepared, cuz he tore through my pet cuz cleric was too far away to cheal, before i realized i was too far away pet was about dead. once he summoned my necro, he attacked for 500s faster than any mob ive ever seen. necro with about 6khp (self buffed and temp) went down in 5-6 seconds. run necro back, get rebuffed up, and jump the mob when cleric had about 40m, anticipating a despawn soon. This time around, he resisted dots twice as often as first run for some reason, only sticking lifetap-over-time and poison/disease dots after debuff. Magic-based curses resisted every time. After running oom on necro and cleric, mob kills my pet and luckily flees immediately afterward at 12ish % hp. ghetto-medding on necro, 1 dot and Lifetap later hes down.
Definitely a tough mob solo.
Moral of the story: debuff before anything will land, and after that most things will get resisted. bringing a slower is recommended.
Killed Ixiblat Fir at loc -2000, +1500. Had 4 in group, all lvl 63: Zerker w/ 8.4K hp, Cleric, Wizzy and Chanty. Took about 2 to 3 min maybe and tank didnt get below 70% HP and Cleric only casted HoTs. Wasnt that hard. We was in group as well as a raid group, jic you needed a raid party to get him to spawn.
Just fyi don't need to be in a raid, or even a group. Had cleric pop it and an sk at the spawn killed it.

71 necro here, 115 AAs. I had my 70 rogue pet, decent buffs. Landed Scent of Midnight (-200 disease) but even after that debuffed PR/DR, I could not land any poison or disease (-105 total). Did not try Fire dots for obvious reasons.
Desecrating Darkness was not resisted in the 2 times I casted it. I used Fang of Death and Saryrn's Kiss the whole time and some lifetaps. I had Lifeburn up, but it would have been a bad idea because by the time it went off I would have been summoned again, and he hit for 450-530 often enough (and rarely stunned) that it could have killed me. His AE was not a problem.
Dropped Gloves of Fire, Crystallized Sulfur, and Sceptre. Logged cleric alt and looted :)
While trying to get the wurmslayer for one of my alts I ran into 2 Ixiblats Fers up at once. They were right on top of each other. I decided to attack them to see if they dropped a Cloak of Flames. I was able to root one with my cleric and run away to fight one. My 70 BST(9kHP buffed) tanked, once I got a slow off it was like fighting any other lvl 60 weak mob. Fight lasted maybe 4 minutes. I killed the other, but neither dropped the CoF. I ran around looking for the spawns, but none showed up. However, Ixiblat showed up again. Considering how weak he is, and how I saw 3 in a matter of 30 minutes I am doubting he ever drops anything good.
P -1340.1763, 2110.0891, -375.5743, 0, 0, 0, 2, Ixiblat_Fer

Ixiblat himself spawns along the west wall, far south, almost straight down from the meteor crater in the clearing of thin trees, and lots of hornets floating around. On map, its toward "6", the hornet nest. http://www.eqatlas.com/kunark/burningwoodmap.html
the pic above, just shows him where people used to pull him to, near the skyfire zone-in.

I duo-ed this mob the other night with my 70 bst (only 9khp and 6.3k mana... buffs wunshi fortitude KEI and Conviction) and a 67 cleric friend. EVERYONE I spoke to has told me to get more players to help with the kill. HAHA. I only needed 7 Cheals and never once got below 50% hp. My cleric doing her epic triggered the spawn and I had my bst camped at the location for Ixiblat. She had to run a small distance and I sent in the pet while I slowed him. I think it stuck. Can't remember. Then I got a message from the cleric asking me where I ran off to. I had to train the mob back to my friend while being summoned twice. I easily killed it in about 3 or 4 minutes. I logged back to my cleric who got her scepter. Fun fight.
