Black Dire Pelt
Silverwing Loopi went in with a group today, black dire was up and ready to kill, but by the time we had gotten to where he would have been, he was not up. Does he despawn, there was no one in zone other than our group who could have killed him. We then went on to kill the advisor several times and still no spawn. What is spawn time on both the black dire and the advisor?

The dire wolf is on a 4 hour spawn. If you want to force him to spawn you kill the advisor.
He stays up for 35 minutes after spawning wether normal or forced.
I do not know the spawn rate for the advisor.

If you kill the Ambasitor in the room next to the library....the Black Dire will pop.

Perhaps there is a better way to do this than pulling to the zone.
Would come as quite a nasty shock to 20s or 30s guys coming into this zone to find a group...

Black Dire is on True Spirit faction; he's not KoS unless of course you intentionally agro him.

believe i have found the simplest method to take care of dire. puller is required to be able to lev - camo - bind and gate and take the initail 800 hp HT. Puller binds at MM entr - camo up and head towards castle -- already leved -- at castle ent - lev across to ledge. Target dire -- dot or nuke as see fit -- will take the HT - but nothing else. Gate back -- Dire will be right there at zone line for your group to kill. Have checked it out sev times with the blood wolves (which take a bit of time to get to zone line) - then did with dire -- he was at line right behind me.

If I were to get together a group of all 50+ (save for me) peeps (that went like this: Enchanter, Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, Bard, and me {39 Shaman}), would I be able to take this little bugger down without much difficulty? All the people I am thinking of are around 55...
Any thoughts are appreciated.

59 druid can solo with some difficulty. Went oom and had almost no hp after the fight. He seems quite resistant to root and snare but after 10 min he was toast.

BD is in the very NE corner of the zone. If you follow the left wall all the way to loc 90 -150 you will come to his spawn point. If he isn't up you have to kill the Advisor on the second floor of the castle to make him pop or he is on a 2 hour spawn cycle and will pop 2 hours after last time killed.
Hope I could help.

Yesterday I was leveling in Mistmoore and someone, and tank in the high forties was intent on killing the black dire (don't know why). He had another character backing him up a 45 cleric if memory holds (he had too computers). Anyway he pulled it to the zone boundary where he proceded to attmept to kill it. He died twice but he just rezzed himself and tried again since the dire stays put and doesn't aggro. Any way with a little help from a couple low 30's he dropped him and left the pelt to decay. Being a shaman myself only 29 I looted it with 10 seconds to go. The dire doesn't seem that tough if you have a little back up. Guess it saves me from having to do this later on.

Black Dire isnt that tough, managed to take him down with a 55 war, 55 cle 55 rogue and 45 shaman today, with the blood wolves at the same time. He didnt manage to hit for his max once, just attacked him like a normal mob, seemed to work

Going to try this mo fo next weekend myself(45)shammy, 60 warloard, 52 desciple, 51 reaver, 52 wanderer, 57 evoker, I heard reports that there is no conversation required with the black dire,he can just be pulled (from the tanks to get the non aggro from his buddies)killed and looted, although it does take away from the epic fun facter of it all. could anyone confirm this?
talking to him is not needed, and the 60 war can solo pull him (along with some of the Dark Elves)

Could anyone who has completed this tell me if a :
60 cleric
51 warrior
45 chanter
44 warrior
34 shaman ;p
could take this piece of crap down?
Thanks

So anyway all the other posts don't help although you've probably long completed this. But YES that would be an easy fight for you )
the 34 shaman is totally useless besides 270 pt heals (yes the rest could take it np...)
Oh yes a person trying to get a piece of their epic is always worthless in a group.
He is a shaman, it part of his epic. I think that was the main purpose. without him there would be no need, so thus he is the most important person in that group, One should look at things from more than one angle before repling and looking like an ebayer.

No offense, but I don't think he meant to say what you interpreted. I think he meant "useless" as in terms of the fight itself, not in the sense of completing that part of the epic. Yes, his 270 point may have a minimal effect on the outcome (or it may have a huge factor, who knows?), but other than that, he is not going to do much... in the fight. Yes, he is important to the quest, but I do not believe that was his intention to discredit the shaman as 'useless' all around.
I love when EQ'ers get mad at each other, there always quick to throw out terms like "noob" and "ebayer", and its usually right after they stick their foots in their mouths.
I don't think he had to psychoanalyze the situation there Freud. It was a simple statement. It wasn't like he said "j00 st00pid n00b, da Shammie is frickin' worthless at that level cuz Shammies suck". But, I'm sure you'll jump all over me like you did him, since arguing over 'useless' stuff seems to be the everlasting trend in this game.
Please step away from the keyboard, its not worth your aggravation or time. Maybe you should take your own advice. Relax, loosen that robe of yours, its obviously on a bit too tight. I apologize if this post sounded offensive or cold, I wish no illwill, but you were pretty cold sounding yourself.

Posted: Mar 03 2002 at 1:50 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I am a lvl 5 shaman ogre - and it just proves how strong us ogres are because i decided to do my shaman epic at lvl 4 - for the patience quest i just held my breath because im so big and hard and dont need Enduring Breath. For the Emerald Jungle quest i just shouted at every mob till they ran away. And as for the first quest in freeport, i killed every NPC in freeport before i went in. The Black dire was easiest of all as i just nutted him and he went down. Now i have my nice new black fur boots, and they are good but i need something better because im so god damned HARD
Boy, thats a tough act to follow. Methinks you have been sitting next to an open tube of airplane glue too long....

A 52 warrior (me), a 52 Shaman, and a 42 Enchanter did this today. Was verry close. I was close to death a few times, but my guildie shammy got off heals just in time. He was able to slow and thats what helped us to kill it. He was OOM after the fight and had to canabalize a few times for heals but we did it.

Sorry to say my fellow druids, as much as we would love to have a pet that doubles for 240dmg, Black Dire is NOT an animal mob. Just tried to charm him, got msg:
- this spell only works on animals -
As far as I can tell, there are no mobs at all that are animals in this zone. The Blood Wolves are not animals either.
Hope this saves you some time.

That's right..even tho he's a dog, Black Dire is a spirit. Our group killed him (after killing the advisor to get Dire to pop) with the following in our group:
51 shaman
51 cleric
50 warrior
47 druid
51 druid
51 bard
I slowed him and debuffed/nullified magic straight away. The turgur's REALLY helped a great deal. I got hit four times at 200 ea and twice at 133...our tank got the "lucky" 500 HT on him, but we all managed to beat him down with lots of nukes (mine was blizzard blast over and over until I was OOM). The druids did a great job casting harmony on the four blood wolves surrounding Dire (they all conned dark blue to us and can hit kinda hard and fast)so they wouldn't aggro on our group. The cleric buffed us all up and handled healing. I'm happy to say I have the black fur boots now. :-)

You necros who got hit with his Harm Touch must just not know too much about your class. He ALWAYS HT's in the beginning of the battle. The battle lasts typically 20-30 Secs. Harm Shield Lasts 10 secs. Pull him the same way you pull the Amy's in fear from the temple. Harm shield. It really works wonders.

Got a 56 shammy, and 56 war.
Slowed him easy, no resists.
Warrior lost a whole half blue bub of health whilst tanking/eating him (And he singlepulled him away from the others)
Didn't spend any mana on heals at all.

They say he is really magic resistant, but I'm guessing thats before they added the mob immunity change. So can he still resist like crazy or can I actually have a chance to slow/debuff him now?

Does anyone know the spawn time on this guy if you don't kill the advisor?
Anonymous
The spawn time is 2 hours if you do not kill the advisor. A lvl 56 monk with his epics killed the adisor easly, but got his but kick fast against the black dire. i then had a 60 druid try and kill him, he got him down to 1/2 Hp, but then had to zone b/c no mana and low Hp. So he is very hard, unless you have good DOTs and do it in my seacret way. All you have to do is at the enrance to the Castle, when you are looking over where he spawns, across the way should be a little rockey area above the wolfs. Levi over there and from there you can dot him up and blast like a **** till he dies. Nothing can get up there and attack you, you will just have to watch out for the harm touch witch is for around 800 dmgs, and his casting but other than that you can kill him easyly that way (that is if you can have you spells land on him).
Good luck and happy hunting,

He was fairly easy for our group. We all had our pets out. We just kept the ramp cleared when the advisor died, we was a single pull for our cleric. It took a couple malosini's before they finally sticked. When it did, it went down pretty fast. The whole fight lasted around 20 secs, give or take. Our group consisted of:
60 Cleric
58 Shammy
57 Druid
54 Shammy
52 Cleric
51 Necro
60 Cleric
58 Shammy
57 Druid
