Me 36 shaman and friend 39 ranger took him down last night. I got mace (ranger had one) my luck. Slowed him, cast scourge(500 hp dot) and winter Roar(255 dd). was easy fight:)
My group of 5 fought Yaka. 2 Druids, Cleric, Monk, Wizard. All between 30 & 34. Not enough tank for him.
Bad news: he runs at SoW speed; resisted 6 snares from level 30 Druid; Cleric couldn't heal our Monk fast enough
Good news: he's not a caster; when you die he stops beating on you
It took 1 death and a really bad thrashing to take him down. Both Druids and the Wizard were pouring mana into him. I personally put 4/5 of a bar into him in Careless Lightning (Combust was resisted). He spawned right outside the northern-most Tizzie cave.
So based on our experience, if a 32 Ranger solod Yaka, there are 2 versions of Yaka. Granted, Monks have lower AC, but he was smacking the 34th level Monk around so bad he was dealing out damage much faster than Greater Heals could put it back. Be careful with this guy.
this guy is hard. I am a level 42 sk wandering through the tizmak caves and I spotted him. tizmaks are easy and he conned blue so I figgered I could take him. I didn't fear kite because adds would be a problem. I fought my darndest and am pretty well equipped but I died, and he had about 10% health left. very frustrating corpse run too since those caves are maze like.
Although I gonna give this guy a shot with my 40 druid and I dont believe I will have a problem those adolescents that think a 31-33 ranger can solo are very wrong, maybe twinked, bow/med kiting, constant dotting-maybe. But as we all know ranger have weak spells and are weak meleers, although competent with a wurmslayer, but to go toe to toe with this guy is insane. When I see a 31-33 ranger solotank this guy I'll empty my bank and give it to him.
We got him to spawn easily, the method my group used, (3 of us a lvl 39 druid, 37 cleric, and 46 monk) we went to the middle cave and killed everything in sight till the room was empty, then the room would respawn with Yaka. We only spent about 2 hours there and all three of us got a cool Basher!

Your full of CR*AP!! there is no way in hell that a 32 ranger could solo this thing, my 50th lvl warrior still has problems standing toe to toe with him, he just has too many HP and wears you down too fast.

Posted:Jul 01 2001 at 11:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) WTF is your warrior using? Cloth armor and the rusty sword you got from a decaying skeleton (the on you ks'd from that n00b. Ive solo'd him at 30. Ive seen warriors solo him at 40. I just yesterday saw a ranger bow kite the ******* a bit then melee him to death. He was only 31! So stfu!
Oh my lord! Log in and give us your name before spouting off like that. I need to know who to look out for. Anyone knows you can't solo a mob 6 levels higher at that level, even if you are a twink. You can't even hit a mob that high half the time. We just killed him today with a 40 ranger, a 39 paladin, and a 31 rogue and all of us were down below 40 health, even with the paladin using his LoH. Didn't kite him a bit first to weaken him because we figured he'd be easier to take because we hadn't fought him in a couple of levels each. Every great once in a while, just maybe, I think censorship isn't such a bad thing. =P
I found Yaka in the caves, harmonized other tizmaks and went in and found him, cast a DOT on him so he'd hurry and get out of there and he was coming for me, I ran out and waited outside and he never came. checked tracking and he was gone. vanished. anyone know why?
I have similar problem. I think it has to do with slow (laggy) access when I'm in Velious. If you run too fast away (with SoW on) and mob gets stuck on a corner of the tizmak cave maze, it will drop through the surface - and then despawn, so it will disappear from your selection box.
This way at least in Velious, they worked around common engine probs like they had in FoB, Kunark, where a mob could drop through ground and keep attacking you from underneath without you being able to hit back.
I also watched movable tizmaks inside second cave hit cave corner, climb it and disappear inside stone, immediately despawning - all on their own. Common problem with EQ engine. heh
There is a bad problem with pathing in GD. I've been quadkiting tizmaks for a while lately, and the problem is that once you get far enough away from a tizzy, he disappears, and warps back to his spawn point. It happens all the time. This zone is pretty glitchy (also the broodmother thing) I dunno what happened with Yaka though, if he warped back to his spawn point, he would have still been on track. weird

he has not that many hps mebbe 2800 tops i dot once 1600dmg and nuke for mebbe 1000 and he is ded he hits for tops on me 95... that is with 925 AC tho... so good luck wit it
Yaka will always have the velium etched stone mace. If he isnt wielding it...you are lucky...he will drop rare Gauntlets of Power. He will spawn in ANY tizmac spawning point. Have seen him spawn at 4 different places. Mace is 7/22 3wis 3str...Gaunts are 11ac(?) 5str 20hp. Good hunting =)
What exactly is the "Eye of Plunder" quest? Please, don't post if your not gonna give us the full story. Nobody believes people when they don't wanna share all their knowledge. After all, we are already at a website looking for information, so that means we would like a spoiler or two thrown at us. Heaven knows Verant screws up the prize of most quests anyways.
Look up "Map of Vellious" in the Iceclad section, its detailed there.
Be warned, though, it involves one fairly rare spawn (Dire wolf stalker) one very rare spawn (Snowfeather,) and one moderetely-rare-but-guild-raid-level spawn (Lodizal, the Turtle of Doom.) All the pieces are No Drop, and they're put in a container so it can't be multiquested. On the other hand, the Eyepatch is probably the best all around use face piece in the game, particularly if you're a melee class.
I don't agree, myself (lvl 40 war) and a shammy (lvl 40) took him out easily. Fought our way in and killed him where he stood, didn't even need a heal. The shammy now has a nice hammer. And I'm KOS to the tizmak.
I just finished killing Yaka. He's a toughie! I'm a 36 druid and kited him till out of mana then med kited him for about 3 or 4 more minutes, total time it took me was about 6 minutes, give or take. He conned even and dropped the mace (woohoo!) He spawned to the left of the upper entrance, where a champion or furious warrior usually spawns. Hope this helps.
he hits like a purse of bricks (about high 90's) but 2 lvl 30's took him out with pets and fear and dots,he is quite tuf but nice loot so i dont care,i won random on velium etched stone mace. and i truly dought he is always 36 but,eh? they're pretty accurate
He is lvl 36. drops the mace sometimes and the gauntlets of power sometimes. he is a totally random spawn...i have seen him spawn at 2 diff. ents and in the middle...a 35 druid coould solo but its a very long fight. he hits very hard and fast and almost took out a 43 monk i had helping me.
Dropped the mace. I spotted him at the third entrance and decided to solo him. I had just dinged 35 and had clarity and he conned yellow. I did 1700 DD with spells and some minor melee at the end. I also put 5 Drones of Doom on him. So he has around 3000 hp. I got a half of a blue bub in 35 from him. He dropped the mace.
geeze, nerf druids... thats rediculous... I don't think I could be able to solo him til he conned blue. Even kiting him I would be out of mana before I did that kind of damage to him at your level...
What he said about med kiting. Its a real pain in the butt, though, and there are a whole host of things that can go wrong in the process. It also takes forever even under the best of circumstances (we're talking "ghetto medding" about 20-30 seconds for each spell cast. Taking a mob down from 1/5 hit points takes about 5-10 minutes. You'd rather not do it if the mob has more.) Heaven help you if you attract another beastie, or ensare runs out when you don't have enough mana to recast it. Generally speaking, I find it easiest to just run away under these circumstances.
Med Kite him. Run count to 5 sit down, cast, count to 5 sit etc. That's how I have been kiting high blue - yellow in velious. Takes a while but it is possible.
Druids are overpowered. Any class that can kill 4 mobs at the same time solo is overpowered. And it takes skill? Kiting has to be the easiest process in the game. If you ***** up, you just run. Then add KEI in the mix and a druid can constantly dual kite from 14 to 40ish with little to no med time. Druids are for people with no patience, level a Paladin up and then tell me Druids are easy.
druids arent overpowered? phhw , yes they are, and not much skill is needed. take a look on all theses pages and tell me that druids aren more than 50% posting how they kite every darn mob in the game. hope you all choke on quadkiting, you really ruin the game.
Conned yellow to me at 36 both times we killed him, drops Gauntlets of Power, I think the stats are ac 15 str 5 dex 3? Look black on the human SK who won them. He also drops that etched velium mace too.
Mes just passin on some info 'ere after wes barshed him last night. Dis minoman be a radom spawn anywhere in da caves. Best bet is to just wander threw dem caves keelin all da mino's and then wander back n see if he spawned in joo wake. ;) Drops the Velium Etched Stone Mace. 7/22 +3 str +3 wis cleric, paladin, ranger, druid, shaman and maybe some others. warriors and sk's cant use. :(

I believe Yaka always spawns at a fixed site at the entrance of the deepest cavern. Usually you get a PH warrior type but once in a while you get Yaka. Fast spawn, once every five minutes or so. Yaka always has the mace. Oh, it cons blue at level 39, so I don't think he's 45. :-)
ya, i killed him in a gorup last night, I'm 35 and he was yellow to me...really doubt he spawns as high as 45. And for soemthing yellow to me, he really didnt put up mich of a fight, had him dead in the time it took me to take a couple screenshots
Seen him twice, both times white to me at 36, three of us Ranger and Bard 36 and Wizzie level 35 fear-kited him into oblivion....as with most named mobs in Velious he has a good amount of hit points for his level

Posted:Jan 02 2001 at 5:47 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OK so looks like he IS 36 then yes????please explain how level 36 is incorrect??? blue at 38 ,,,,,ok and yellow everytime at 35 ok,,,,,,white both times to a 36 ,,,,,,,,Hehe mano man
Ummmm...because the level has been corrected recently? When the above posts were made Yaka's level was listed as 45. That was what was incorrect, not the 36.
