an ulthork man o war  

LOL none of u people realize that ULTHORK TUSKS r the best drops off all of these....you turn in 4 tusks to chief of the othmirs in cobalt scar. He rewards you with a piece of jewelery or a RARE gem..and i mean rare. So far ive done the quest a few times gotten 2 blue diamonds =), 3 diamonds, 1 black sapphire, 2 jacinth, and 1 platinum fire emerald ring. THIS IS THE BEST money making quest that even lvl 35s can do...the blue diamond seems to be rarest of the rewards but you will get 1..or 2 or 3=) heheh...why dont more people know this?

LOL, Uhm at lvl 55 you become "Preserver" and cease to be a wander *cough* yah im a lvl 55 wanderer *cough* ahem BS!

Today while quadding walruses in EW, I checked track and saw an even con man o war, so I tracked him and pulled him to the hut with Korrigan.
Here I started at full mana, with 187 wis and level 40. I pull with ensnare, root him, double DOT him, and repeat it once or twice. I'm thinking "Man, this guy has got some hp."
Then he starts resisting root. I ran around the huts in a figure 8 way, until root finally stuck. I was oom, and I had just enough for a drones of doom.
After about ten minutes of intense kiting, my DoT finally caught up with him.
I can't even solo even cons. Poo =P
He did drop the Shaman spell Tulmutuous (sp?) Strength, as well as Ulthork meat which I'm farming for guildies doing the shawl quest.
I had no time to record how many DoTs I slapped on this guy, but he has much more than 2k hp and had some magic and fire resist.
All in all, wurms and giants are much easier, but I can't wait until I get to try killing a manticore...fun fun! =P

Soloing these as a 52 Enc isn't a breeze. Though it is a given that it will go down.

When I solo I try to conserve as much mana as possible so I don't DD alot, if at all.

Get a pet up. Speed it, and Rune3 it then make sure BSKRSTR is up, cause you will be casting it alot.

Slow the Ulthork, DoT it and if you feel like it, Weaken it. The DoT already has a nice debuff so Weaken isn't nescessary. But it seems my pet hits for max more often when it's cast. I even mem fear once in a while. At 40% it gets pretty slow. And the pathing is bad enough in EW that it basically will stay in a small area, travelling back and forth, if you know where to go.

It's been a while since I fought them. I think they double in the 90's. Their normal brethren are much easier to kill.

All the times I have hunted these beasts. The only notable drops have been Ulthork Pants and Tunic and SHM spell Furious Strength.

Killed about 40/50 of these ....

If your a druid my suggestion is to root and charm walrus on them. High kill rate for walrus ensures a regular spawn rate of Man o War. Shame that other people come along and steal what MoW you manage to spawn and then leave without killing any walruses to help replace them. You know who you are, you losers... :)

they also raise faction with snow fang gnolls when you kill them

I managed to talk a group to make a trip down here, me being the cleric had a little influence on it. Just like to say this area was completly empty of players. We were used to North Side, with 5-6 groups killing everything, down here is God's Country.

With 2 necros, 38 warrior, wizard, cleric and shaman this area was no contest. That is until it hits the fan. You'll get adds fast, and lots of them. On jsut one man-o-war we managed to have 4 walrus adds.

After this warrior logged and we ran back to north side for more mundane ulthork. But my eyes are set on the man-o-wars and thier breastplate. I'll be back

I haven't read most of the posts here, so if I repeat info, just ignore it =P

They spawn in the "walrus fields" south of Kael. They are lvl 40-42 (mostly yellow, some white at 40) and their Walrus PH's are lvl 30-35 or so. The walruses in this area are a few levels higher than ones in the ulthork warrior/hunter areas, and, although this could be just me, seem to resist spells a bunch more.

Manowars have so much hp and magic resistance for their level that it's useless to camp them for anything but their drops, as there are MUCH easier ways to get experience. They also hit for 100+. Trying to get the tunic, me and a friend camped this area for a while, killed about 30 manowars, got 1 pair of legs (9 AC 3 CHA -3 INT, pretty darn useless except as a newbie item for the decent AC), 1 collar (7 AC 30 HP -30 MANA, great neckpiece for a non-casting melee class, behind the rygorr chain collar, and one of the best neckpieces for monks as it weighs 0.5) but still no tunic...

Besides those three ulthork pieces, the manowars drop walrus teeth and ulthork meat/whiskers/hides/tusks, but don't seem to have velium weapons like the other ulthorks do.

Okay this fellow drop's the Collar, Leggins and the Tunic...
But where can i find the rest?
I really need a full set...

Hope you guys/gals can help me :)

To the Druids who want these guys,

Kiting these guys is a royal pain in the ***** They have alot of hit points and like to resist Fire Strike partially or fully alot. The best way I've found to take these guys down without spending 20 minutes kiting and wasting a ton of mana is to do the following:

1) Find an Ulthork Man-O-War. They are in the Southwest corner of Eastern Wastes just south of Kael Drakkel, in the same area as the Walrus beach (walrus's are place holders btw).

2) Get the Man-O-War to chase you. This is easy, just nuke or try swinging at it, but don't ensnare it just yet (this comes later).

3) Start running to just south of Kael Drakkel near the wall (at the base of the hill that touches the wall to be precise). Along the way, find a blue Walrus and get it to follow you too.

4) Once you have said pissed off Man-O-War and Walrus near Kael Drakkel, ensnare both of them and try to get the Walrus ahead of the Man-O-War.

5) After you get to just out of spell casting range, start trying to cast one of your charm animal spells till the walrus is in range (this is why you want him ahead of the Man-O-War or atleast right next to him, but not behind him).

6) Once the Walrus is your friend, order it to munch on the Man-O-War. Generally, the Walrus and Man-O-War will go at it while you sit and meditate.

The Man-O-War wins most of the time, but is badly hurt by the time the Walrus dies (I usually get it to half it's health). I then go and charm another walrus to keep beating on the Man-O-War so that the Man-O-War is almost ready to flee and another walrus is gone or the Man-O-War wants to flee and the walrus manages to finish it off with barely any hit points left. If the Walrus is barely alive, I just go invisible (through hide since I'm a Wood Elf, but camo works too) to break the charm so I get a cheap, easy kill in the walrus as well.

By doing all this, you save mana most of the time and you get rid of a walrus or two making room for more Man-O-War to spawn. This generally works really well for me and saves me considerable time and mana instead of trying to DD kite the Man-O-War. This strategy also works against other Walrus's when you're trying to clear them so Man-O-War's will spawn in their place.
