it's nice to know what level you need to be to even dream of soloing this, so why don't you shut up, and buy a watch, and time his spawn, and write down his every hit and average it out and post the results? Why not check if he summons? he does.
Since I've been keeping statistics while trying to get the tunic, I've had the King pop 13 times and the Reaver ph pop 13 times, so King seems to be about a 1 in 2 chance. I don't count what mob is up when I arrive, since other campers aren't going to leave the King up. I only count mobs that I make spawn.
This camp is easily solo-able by anyone with Time or better gear.
Went here once again last night with my buddy. We fought all the way down just for fun since the zone was empty, but its just as easy to invis and run on down. With two necros to clear the platform they spawn on is simple send in pets on one and each of you cast screaming terror on the other two. If the adept comes roaming by he cant be mezzed btw. So watch out for that. I am 65 and buddy is 66, so the pets can pretty much handle two or three mobs at a time but just make sure you take out healers first and keep that ST going to control adds. Never got the king, but i have seen him pop after one round of clearing and also not pop after 20 rounds of clearing so its just a crap shoot so keep trying.
The place holder for the king has always been a myconid reaver for me. The most they hit me for was 150, and the spawn time is about 30 minutes. The king however hit me for a max of 220 and casts lay hands when he drops to 45-46% hp. If you cannot single pull and there are 2 healers up as his 'guards'(and/or you cant kill 3 things at once here) then aggro a warrior or something equally as weak that doesn't heal and run it up against the wall opposite of the water and then continue out of the room. The king should now be on you since his assist range strangely high(either that or the other mushrooms don't assist at all) and if you didn't go too far then you should only have the 2. Take out the king first always if there are no adepts/priests near you since he can get annoying with heals. As for the drop rate of the tunic and staff..I think I am having the same nightmare the poster far below had, 12 kings and all robes...hours wasted =/
k anyone able to tell me the exact are he spawns? i got maps and all, just dunno where he is, im 67 pally with about 8000hps/1700 ac self buffed and 70 aa's. and also think i can kill to him? or do i need to figure out some other way to get to him? and if i cant solo him as a pally, could me and a 68 chanter (5k/1k raid buffed and 6k mana pool) solo him? or just the chanter? thx and srry for so many questions!
I duo'd this camp last night on Tunare with 67 bst and 61 druid. Not much problem at all could prolly solo with bst but druid could use the xp. Got King twice in 3 hours one robe and one tunic. Only had one mob CH on me and that was through wall so didn't even see the priest.
I hear that bards can solo this camp. Anyone that can confirm this? I am ep/kt geared bard at 66 with about 6k hp unbuffed. I have never really spent any time in here aside from a few Trak kills for epic pieces.
A Bard can easily solo this camp. There is a spot that only one pather, occasionally paths thru. If you use calm line of songs everything comes solo. Very easy camp for a bard
I duo this camp with a 66 bard and 67 cleric. Getting there solo just means train to him and then fade, or you'll be trying to paci 831928310393 adds. Once down there stand behind his outpost, paci one add and charm the other. I only need one CH during the fight and I have my cleric nuke the rest of the time. 6500hp on Bard. You could probably solo.
as a 65 sk with 6000 hp self buffed, and 4000 mana pool i can solo this camp pretty easily, i afk between the long long spawn time and it really doesnt even feel like im camping it, took me 2 hours to get a fungi.
Good to hear on this end, have an up and coming Shadowknight, level 49 right now, getting to 65 will be a royal pain but nice to hear we can handle that easy.
i was in seb earlier with a group and we were camping the fungus king. He only spawned once but he dropped the damn robe.... and im going to go again tomorrow to try again, i wanted to know if a epiced 65 beastlord and a 58 (epiced) druid can take down this guy, any help would be great thanks
I just started an account on morden rasp and omg the fungus covered and fungus patch vest both go for over 150kpp! Someone please join the morden rasp server and correct the economy =P
I consider this kind of funny...Why would we want to join another server to correct a price glitch? Maybe if you consider this price somewhat high, you should farm the fungi yourself to correct your economy and profit at the same time. (an increased supply has a funny way of doing that)
Soloed this guy as a 65 ranger with 300 aa's today. King was an easy fight, didn't need to use any disc's. Alas, he only dropped the crappy robe. Wish the robe still had fungal regrowth, damn old school nerfs.
I soloed my way from zone in, to this camp yesterday. After the pet mitigation changes, it's pretty easy for mage pets to tank these guys like champs.
Best tool for getting single pulls that usable to a mage is the Eye of Zomm used for recon in front of where you are. Lots of the mobs on the way there are roamers, and you can wait until the split up to pull singles. I pulled them by using /pet attack, then pet hold.
King was not up when I got to his room. I cleared the room and the roamers into the room by tanking no more then 3 at once. With 3 mobs using focused and equipped Air pet it was chain heals. With less then 3 I had time to throw in nukes too.
Don't need really uber gear to be able to do this as a mage. I'm sure a newly leveled 65 mage with DPoC pet focus could do this. The better gear just helps, but it's not make/break. Most of the skill was in the pulls, and controling the fights. /Pet Hold is nearly a requirement though.
When Each of the fights is 1:1, it's a cake walk. Things only get interesting when you get adds etc.
