I don't want to admit how long I have camped this Kobold, but I nearly have 3 entire suits. All I want is one more to finish first set. So anyone who wants an entire set of Cold Iron or Forlorn, Beware of a long wait.
I'm a 32 mage and took him and the shammy easy. King conned blue, shammy green.
I cast a Fire pet, buffed with Burnout and armed with Sword of Runes, and sent him in on the king. Then cast a quick Shock of Spikes to kill shammy. Then back to my fire pet with a Renew Summoning (he was at 40% by this time) and then to the King to cast Rain of Spikes. The final AOE spell killed him and his pet. A couple other Kobolds came to assist but aggroed on pet and were an easy clean up.
Looted a Crown of the Forlorn, some bracers and other associated stuff.
Only advice I could add would be to watch the Kings first spell. Did some damage to drop pet health to 40% in about 5 seconds. Used about 60% of avaiable mana to accomplish.
The King can be an easy kill for anyone who is mid to high 20's, but beware, him and High Shaman Drogik make a nasty team, I lost to them both and I'm lv 32, so that proves how tough they are when their spawn isnt broken!
If you pull both of them to zone (make sure you shout your plans so to clear the innocent newbies out of the way), the king will go straight back to throne and the High Shaman will stop a few times and wander a little before going back to spawn spot. Took the Hish Shaman out and rested, then finished King. Spawn broken. Kill both 4 more times after that with side trips to Prince, Bat Lord and Huntermaster.
Been camping the king for both faction and cold iron pieces and the last two times he went down he dropped an
Odd Cold Iron Necklace NO DROP wt 0.0 All All
I figure it must be a quest item, but have seen no reference to it anywhere. No ac, no stats, but it is no drop so it won't drop for high lvl's... any info appreciated.
This is for the third Quellious symbol quest. None of the three are listed on this site right now, but the lady in the Quellious temple who gives out the quest for shaman paws starts them.
Cold Iron is wearable by classes like - war,pal,clr,shd(i think) maybe others. It can't be worn by druids or rangers. Most of it has a +1 sv magic on it. Does anyone know if there are cold iron leggings? I have just about everything but them...
heheh went in with my lvl 54 Warrior the other day doing the faction thing and King and High shaman was up--took out shaman(trivial) and the king did heal him--then took the king out but got HT'd for 214 pts and actually got the cold iron piece that goes on the neck ---battle didn't come across as trivial so go figure as to what his lvl is and what it should REALLY be.
I killed him at lvl 35 with my druid and he did not drop anything...well I take that back I did get 8cp. He was not trivial. And his lvl is right I was HTd for 241, exactly the HT of a lvl 24.

Posted:Jun 12 2001 at 5:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This guy is full of it, In the warrens. If its green to you, any magic, no drop, or lore item it has WILL NOT DROP. So no fudging way he could have gotten cold iron
We were 18 Chanter, 20 Wizard, 17 Rogue, and 18 Ranger. We were jumped by everything in the area. We all went down to half a bub to a bub of life each before we killed him and his minions.
We were all moving so slow and all the other Kobolds, except for the King, started respawning. We were so scared we moved out immediately. As soon as we zoned we all realized that nobody looted the King's corpse. :(
WRONG.. .as a very common power lvler i know for a fact at lvl 9 you can get a whole blue or better off dervs in n ro and at 14-19 you can get whole blue bar of exp off lake rathe aviak guards .. so check again )
YES it is true you can get more than half a bub of xp - heck you can get a LOT of xp if you are being PL'd.
However, NO he did not get any xp off the king if it only took one chop to kill. You have to do at least half the killing of a mob to get xp for that mob. Wake up people!
I hate this guy i camped him for 12 hours and got nothin, i wanted the forlorned naginata or forlorn crown but i got NOTHING. We killed him around 6 times. I dunno what was wrong but it was a waste of my time.

Well, he does :-) Thought I might as well put this up even though you all know he is a SK and they can summon them. Hope this helps, and damn...I hate HT. :-)
