strategy is key, but it is not tough
2 well suited warriors, 2 high damage rogues, 2 clerics, 2 enchanters, and a shaman is all you need to kill him
Vaniki
a rare creature
This rare mob can be found at the chetari rat area near Zlandicar's lair in Dragon Necropolis.

that would be willsapper.
took this guy down last night. we pulled him just out of reach of his "guards" one of which was a master. took a while, but we used VS tactics and prevented him from lifetapping our MA. i believe all we had was:
60 warrior
60 cleric
59 cleric
60 rogue
59 rogue
58 monk <---hey, thats me!
60 druid
58 necro
60 ranger
59 enchanter
59 bard
and yes, our warrior was over-freaking-joyed with his new weapon :)
ps -> vaniki also dropped 2 pristine emeralds (int caster bp), 1 flawless diamond (melee bp), and 1 black marble (wis caster bp).

Posted: Aug 16 2001 at 9:57 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) what are you punks doing talking about groups? I solo'ed Vaniki with my uber 60 rogue. DW Ragebringer and TT...wiped him out. He was tough though, b/c he got me down to 1 bub of health. Willsapper was a nice find though.
LOL, soloing in Dragon Necropolis ;) let me guess your lvl 60 and you whooped out assisinate on him ;) Assisinate just works great on red and yellow guys. (note the sarcasm)

Soloing in DN is easy. Unless you can't stick snare that is. Most of that stuff moves REAL fast :).

This guy doesnt proc lifetap when he hits ala VS, but he does cast lifetap often, my guild attempted him and it took 3 times to bring him down, the first 2 time he gated...we tried mana tapping, we tried pushing we just COULD NOT keep this guy from gating, I logged before we took him on the 3ed try...was 3am CR after this guy gates and summons camping people is icky. So I dont know how we finally took him, but we did.

OK well its very simple where to begin when reviewing the comments made by the people reviewing this mob. "I highly doubt 9 level 60's can take him down. My guild attempted to kill him with about 25 people which included a 60 warrior and 60 chanter and many 55-60 people as well." What does this guy say that leaves problem first of all prolly none of the people should be sub 55 unless they are clerics. Number two the only way you are going to kill this guy with any reasonably small number (assuming he is slowable which i would presume he is as hell even mobs like Woushi are slowable) is with a lvl 60 shaman, not a lvl 60 enchanter =P Lvl 60 shaman = DESTROY a mobs melee power. Now whether that means cuttin him down from SUPER GOD to TOUGH *** MFer or SUPER GOD to dencently easy mob is up to the raid on him. But its the slow taht will take him down, thats why a raid going for Zland would easily dispatch him, because they would have that lvl 60 shaman.

Actually there chief... the 60 shaman is used for slow since it is better than enchanter slows, but you do realize that a level 60 enchanter can slow just about as well as a shaman? 70% slow vs 75% slow. The difference are the debuffs. Shaman are capable of debuffing the mob until slow will stick... once debuffed, it does not really matter which slows as long as he is slowed.
...But the shaman will die in 3 seconds as opposed to the half second an enchanter will last ;)
Eh, Actully you both have it all wrong somewhat. The reason the shaman is somewhat needed is for Malo/Malosini. That and Tash on any mob will let slow stick usually. Problem isnt the quality of the slow with enchanter, its getting it debuffed enough to land it. Velious Uber mobs are well known for juiced resistances so most people prefer to bring the shammy along to help with that. I think chanter/mage/bard could drop it well enough myself... This particular fight a guild might prefer to have the shammy slow as to allow the chanters to rune/sieve...

Killed this guy a little bit back when we were getting ready to kill Zland, we had like 24 people there at the time, he went down easy. Just seemed like another pull to me, but took twice as long to kill. Question I have is yes he did drop willsapper grats to the tank, but he also dropped his heart.. anyone know what this is for? I've been looking for info and have yet to see anyone mention it.

Hand Neb Zlandicar's Heart and Vaniki's heart and he will reward you with Neb's Warbone.
15/23 +10str +15sv fire
Effect: Bone Melt
According to several other people the effect is a 75 DD spell that turns the target into a skeleton. I'm also under the impression that the spell is unresistable, a 53 bard was able to get it to stick on Treah in POG.
Warbone is usable by all but pure casters so if that heart is tradeable I suggest you find out if any melee classes in your guild want it heh.

For Daris below:
Our guild also tried this guy with 24 people and died without any noticeable hp loss from him. I could swear he was aoe lifetapping, (tugging at your soul), and we're gonna try him again with lifetap strat.
Thing is you did die with your one group, (which aint to bright), and apparently havent tried him with any serious numbers. Therefore you have no clue, and I don't see the reason you need to tell the other guy that his people need to go back to unrest.
Also, there must be two versions or more of this guy, because we had a fairly strong raid that cut through to his lair like butter. There was no way 18 people could have taken our guy without a special strategy AND know alot about him beforehand. 24 people and, like I said, his hp's didn't noticeably move at all.

He regens hps super fast. We've been able to kill him with ~18 people. Last time we actually had more than that and got wiped out, because the idiots pulled him to the hall with all the pats in it, and we had too many adds. We eventually got him, but in our failed attempt after most of the melees went down, he was actually gaining hps despite the melees who were still alive and attacking.

Hehe you had 12 ppl and couldnt even do more than 10% damage he said almost the same thing 25 ppl and they got him to almost 50%...

We had 12 people, and 2 clerics... We did NOT kill him, but here is some advice. I was able to keep our level 60 warrior healed for about a minute and a half, until I ran out of mana. Finally we had to succor out of there, with Vaniki at 90% health.
He has a ton of hps, and nice damage output. Three groups should be able to take him down, easily, unless you are totally unbalanced and or have idiots in the groups.
As for the individual who's guild had 25 people there... your guild needs to go back to Unrest.

Should have brought a NECROMANCER! ...duh... Out of mana what a JOKE! If you go into these places w/o a mana battery. You shouldnt go. Tank beats up mob, Wizzy nukes, Clerics etc. heal, NECRO gives mana to all casters, Healers FIRST. If you dont bring necros out with you agains these harry buggers.... and you are out of mana, you are wrong. Need to bring some batterys with you.

curiously enough, my guildleader, a level 60 warrior, said that he and a group of about 16 55-60 people took Vaniki down on a previous occasion and he never gated and only hit in the 180s. So maybe there are 2 versions of this guy...

I highly doubt 9 level 60's can take him down. My guild attempted to kill him with about 25 people which included a 60 warrior and 60 chanter and many 55-60 people as well. Needless to say we got wiped out. He was dishing out double and triple hits for 500 apiece and had probably 100k HP. We beat on him for a good 10 minutes, didnt get many spells to stick and didnt even get him down to half health. After we all died, another guild moved in and tried to take him, with about 40 people and more level 60's than us. They beat on him for 20 minutes, got him down to about 1 bub of health then he gated, complete healed himself, and ran back and killed them all. Very, very nasty.

And Willsapper proc's a nasty slow.
He spawns real close to Zlandicars lair, once every 4 days, he spawns in a random spot of any rats around that general area, and always has Willsapper, 9 lvl 60's can do him apparently. Might be wrong, all second hand info, hopefully i can tell if it's true or not soon enough..
