Duo'd as an 15 SK with a assassin merc! He was yellow and had 2 blue guards just drained his str and kept tapping until everything was dead left me at about 15% health and 20% mana. Was a good fight!
Other then a 181 harmtouch (making him lvl 18 - HT is (level x 11)) He was a pushover. He did have quite a few hitpoints. 2 dots stacked, easily killed him, but I would not want to melee him at 18.... he had quite a bit of life.... not to mention breaking camp for me was easy, others di dnot agro. he hits pretty hard.
Not much to add here. Took him down pretty easy aside from the first round of combat. Cast some spell on me that did 181 pts of damage which took me down to around 87% health at lvl 35. Aside from that no trouble at all.
Looted Bracer of the Forlorn and a Bronze Wakasashi.
that wasnt a spell he is a SK and the 181 damage was a harmtouch and you can figure that out because harmtouch has and always will be level x11 he is level 18 and 18 X 11 = 198 which means you didnt get hit with his full harmtouch
I had some problem soloing this guy because of his bodyguards. I found it much easier by doing this step by step. First, pull one of the two guys in the front line (usually a lesser shaman and another kobold). The two guys will come and attack you. They shouldn't be hard to kill (they usually both con green to me). Second step, pull one of the guy from the second row (one of the guy just behind one of the guy you took off). The guy will come, with one of the bodyguard from Bragnar. Pretty easy to kill, too (usually con green and dark blue to me). Third step is the same as second step but for the other side. Fourth step is killing Bragnar who is alone by now. And that should be pretty easy, too...
I hope this will help some of you out there.
I had done a nice ASCII drawing of the room but because of the font used on most browser, it wasn't as good as it was in the edit box, so I just had to remove it :/
I am in this zone OFTEN for faction (dont ask why =) Anyway, he pops about 5 minutes more often then the King, he harm touches for 181, i've been able to snare and nuke him until he dies and not take any dmg but its hard. Anyhow he drops dice pretty regular and hes also dropped the cloak and the shield, i havent seen the bracer..
He drops various bronze stuff and bamboo splint armor rarely.
is there any way in this zone if you arent evil but can still get your *** handed to you by guards? is there any way through paineel without being seen by guards? are the gouls the only guards? does invis to undead work on them?
ok this guy is easy to solo. line yourself up in the middle of the corridor approaching him, and move towards him in a traight line. get next him him and hit him-you'll be just out of his two "bodyguards" range, and you can kill him in peace. you can invis and walk behind him and fight him to not aggro the other two as well.
Guy agroed me as I was trying to find the zone to Stone B. Killed him fast. He dropped the *** named spear. 10 dmg, 50-something dly. I'll just hand it to a n00b when I get back home 8)
i'm a lvl 21 war who is soloing i came across him he conned blue with two blues on each side of the chamber. i just ran past them and started pounding on the prince he hit me with his only good attack a spell that took 181 dmg from me but other than that he barely hit me. HE's not to tough. only bad part was he never dropped any of the forlorn items
Here to say there more then 2 farlorn u can loot an this guy i get a clock to night ac 2 wis -2 int 3 mana 5 SvM 3 SK all caster's on my lvl 10 Mage now happy hunting all
hrmmm...if i become kos in Neriak(my hometown) but then max out my faction with another city(Kelethin),does that become my hometown?BTW,i am a 25 rogue in ry'poor/kylong/iksar scaled/spider fur(got it from killing Paineel guards w/ no faction)
Wandering through with some friends tonight on first real trip to raid Warrens. Saw the punk lookin' all smug-like so I soloed him. Dropped cloak. Is this thing really worth 400 to 600 plat to a finger-wiggler like the boards say? If so, I'll make the prince's chamber my home. Muahahhaha.
In the Stonebrunt mts , in the Kittycity,a little girl kitten gives a quest for em. she gives you a ball of burlap yarn, which has 4 charges of snare, its no drop.
There is 3 sets of kobolds above lev 15 (those below 15 will not agro at 22) gurdians prince.
3 various kobolds (lev 14-16) spawn at 3 collons befoe hallway to prince room
2 kobolds (lev 14-16) at 2 collons before Prince Room
2 kobolds (lev 15-17) on both sides of Prince himself.
Pass/kill first 3 kobolds, park near wall.
Kill next 2 kobolds.
Regen/med up to max and before thsoe 2 spawn again pull prince with Disease Cloud (prevents healing) Now Disease cloud + Engul Darkness 2 kobolds that come with Prince. Now turn to Prince(he will hit you with 181 Harm touch) Put Dises Cloud and Engul on him. HT him. Kill him. Finish off 2 other kob - they should be each 100hp less due to your Engul Darks.
All "BIG" kobl (lev 15-17) has 6 min respawn. Prince is 24 min respanw.
wait till your HT comes back up and repeat. You can kill regular "BIG" kobolds for XP and loot while waiting. At 22 koblds as low as 16 still give tiny XP. Lev 15 still agro but no XP
Alternative strategy :
without using HT - kill Prince and run for zone without figitn 2 other kobs :)
When I killed him, easy for a 25 Wizard, he dropped the shield and some no-drop box. I remeber reading about this box somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, anyone know of any quest using the box?
My shadowknight camp'd this zone for half of his life. THe only box I ever saw dropped came off of the smith. It is for a paineel "Cold iron" quest. Not terrible risk/reword, but does take a lot of time. Have seen him drop the "shield of the forlorne" I bleieve. Not bad for the level, but as an erudite Sk it is too heavy. I have no strenght. Might drop the box too, but by the time I killed him repeatedly, he soon went green, and the silly trivial loot thing kicked in. I did however, continue killing him for the bronze weapons he drops. About 70% of the time, he woudl drop eithor a cythe type thing, or a sword. Usually sold them in Paineel for about 3pp. Made good money off the slaugheter of these dogs, and paied for all the equipment I bought before level 35 with it. IMHO, the best reason to kill these guys is for the teeth. The molar quest yeilds coin and occasional ringmail. That sells exceptionally well to merchants, and the teeth can drop off of any kobold. Now with the trivial loot gone, I occasionally go down here, because the massive death yealds a lot of coin and bronze. I still prefer this method of money gathering, since it is near my home city, and there is almost no chance of death. I can spend 4 hours here solo, and come away with 3 or 4 hundred plat in coin and vendor trash, and with no more trivial loot, the teeth still work. For all ye with good Paineel faction, don't overlook this tedious, but fruitful zone. Besides, a drunken raid on the warrens for slaughter is a lot of fun. Almost as fun as drunken BB raids. :)
Camped the Prince for his Cloak and Bracer with my Paladin 26 and killed him 12 times. Took out all the Shamans (unless they were one of his two body guards) in the area because they will prolong the fight with their heals. Took out any kobolds at the entrance to his chamber that aggroed on me. Healed up. Lulled the two bodyguards on either side of the Prince. This worked for me about 50% of the time and rest of the time I got one or both of them and the Prince coming down on me. If I was able to Lull the two body guards, I threw on Reckless Strength, charged home to engage, and then pulled him back into the Antechamber in case the Lulls faded. Always got hit by the HT for 181 but resisted pretty much everything else he tried which wasn't much. Worse I did was when I got both body guards once and was left with about 2 bubs of health. I basically have a mix of banded/reinforced leather armor and 764 HP with buffs.
He appears to be on a 45 minute timer. Found that the far corner on the left as you enter the Prince's Antechamber was a safe place to med - never got jumped but then I never medded very long. Notice that one-third of the time I only got coins.
