Vekis = trainwreck
# Feb 01 2002 at 10:40 PM Rating: Decent
First time Ive seen this nasty beastie.
I used to level my bard in Lake at Sarnak fort, etc, no probs except dying all the time, the usual. Of course my bard would blaze through the spider zone with selos on, so I didnt know Vekis existed (if he did 4 months ago).

Today my lvl 19 Cleric is poking along *slowly* trying to avoid spiders, (Ive made it past them when careful before without SoW or selos & drum) and I see an Iskar, so I hail him.

Wham! Boiling --- You Are Dead. *DONG*

Thank Turane I remembered to bind myself in FV or I would have gone the long way from EFP where I was bound.

Whats the story on this agro bastage, he agros everyone? Only those who hail him? Can an Iskar Monk pat him on the head?

What does he drop? Im going to go kick his butt with my guild at some point for payback, but it sure was a surprise.

Regards,
Gileas Dreamsinger, MM server, bard of the 30th string

Vekis is not always "up". Her agro range is not very big I don't think. As you are running from FV to LOIO, she stands on the right side of the water by the big statue. If she is "up", just swim to the other side of the water and continue on to FV. She is easier to avoid than the drachnids.

I ran by her, somewhat closely and she didnt do anything. I stopped and went back because I thought she was a PC. Being the NICE druid that I am(and approx level 40 at the time), I went back to SOW her and her pet. She casts Blood Boil DOT on me. It took me Regeneration and 7 greater heals to stay alive.

A necro in FV? LOL. Now that I think about it, the gaurds(Drixies) and the Pilgrims would ahve attacked Vekis.

My Bad.

Vekis is Nasty, stay away from her.

I would just con the spiders, as I have seen different ones see through invs sometimes, and other times, had a mob with the same name not see through it. If Vekis is up, you will have to run past her if you follow the river to loio, but she does not see through druid camo. And for some reason, my High Elf Enchanter is amiable to her...no clue how that happened

Man, this guy is one wicked MOB, even at lvl 40 he hurts. One day one me way to bank b4 a guild raid, runnin to bank and get hit with his infamous DoT, wasn't worried bout it much at all as I had SoW. But I get to town and I got one bubb of health left and his little pet tailin me, hit root on pet throw a Cel Heal on myself and Camp. I get attacked by this stupid MOB all the time, mostly I like runnin by the statue to see how many newbs have been killed with in the past few days by Vekis hehe. Anyone from lvl 1-30 has no chance in hell against his DoT, if yer a tank in those lvls, find a good place to die with his DoT on, cuz your going too if you don't have a healer type tailing you, and a GOOD healer at that. DoT lasts for bout 5 minutes. Long lasting DoT with wicked effects. I've never fought this **** but guaranteed, one day, I will tear him a new **** for the troubles I've had with him in the past!

Like many of you I was on my way back to FM for my corpse when I pause at the statue to avoid some spiders when I get hit with Scourge and Boil Blood. Do a 180 to see this Iskar and just start running to bridge. By the time i got there i was all but dead. Started healing my self and just sat down and camped. Got out with my naked Arss..
faction?
# Jan 11 2002 at 6:24 PM Rating: Decent
I'm curious what faction she's on that my wood elf ranger is dubious to her. I've killed my share of Sarnaks, outcast Iksar, goblins, and so on, so it may be that I've actually fixed one of the Cabilis factions.
RE: faction?
# Feb 24 2002 at 10:56 PM Rating: Decent
Vekis is on the Legion of Cabilis (Iksar Warrior Guild) faction.
I am a Dwarf Warrior and was amiable to her long before I got my faction up with the Brood of Kotiz (Iksar Nerco Guild).

this ***** dot`s you for at least 50 damage a tick L/O at that bigass statue i was runnin to Loio and i stopped to say something in guildchat then "vekis begins to cast a spell" of course i though vekis was a PC since no last name. WRONG next thing i know i got 3 dots, fear, and when fear broke a summon and a skinny beating me up. some day huh?

Okay....

So Im on my way to LoIO to do some hunting. I've got cammo, high level SoW, shammy strength... I know I'm smooov damnit! I'm a warrior of the 17 blade on my way, alone for the first time, and I'm gonna kill stuff dag nabit!

I cross the bridge from FV, hang a left and run along the sand so none of those mean spiders get close to me... run up this hell next to the water fall and run past this ugly Iksar.... Paid no attention to it.... I'm invis and the ugly Iksar wont see me...

I'm dodging spiders, nothing is touching me. About 15 seconds away from climbing the hill (following the stream as it turns left) something flashed across my vision...

Next thing I know, I'm being beaton on by a redish brown bag of bones AND my blood is boiling and about 4 seconds after being summoned to her...

You have been slain by Vekis!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT!

My nekkid Wood Elf behind is back FV.

NOW I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT when they shouted, "Vekis is up!"

Me and the heiffer are gonna tango once again when I hit 50 or 60. I plan on laying waste to her in a fit of revenge. But, I'll have at least two groups... AT LEAST 4 other melee and AT LEAST 6 healers (3 of which to focus on me alone as I'll be main tank).

Oh yes revenge is a dish best served cold.... And I plan on putting the biznitch on ice!

I just left the bridge on my way to LoIo, cause I was going to the overthere. So I put doggy form on and ran past this iksar, thiking it was a PC killing those spiders... Well turned out it wasnt the pet attacked me and I ran to the bridge and into town. I turn around and Vekis has like 5 guards on her... Thats only one of my encounters with this Iksar.. =/
RE: Cabban

If you were in wolf form when you ran back to the guards in FV, you're lucky that you didn't have the guards on you.

A word to the wise. Do NOT use illusions(wolf form, enchanter) in FV.
good ol' Vekis
# Dec 26 2001 at 1:51 PM Rating: Default
I've only seen her twice and been lucky enough not to be DoT'd. She does hit hard though, she end up hitting me for a 150 with her fists! I hate her more than I hate those inbreed dark elves-spiders called drachnids. For all you people who say they'll get they're revenge when they hit lvl 60, one suggestion. Don't try soloing her, go with a group ;)

I love the picture. I believe it was taken by.... oh, me. :) Made Everlore's Daily Vision. ;)

Anyway, Vekis is bad. Heard to be lvl 56 (yellow to a 54 at least).

Vekis is part of a quest. Iksar Warriors must hand her an implant to finish their quest for the Trooper Scale Breastplate.

I ran past her and thought I would be safe because I was a good distance away. All she managed to do was cast one DOT on me, Ignite Blood. I was at full health and by the time I got back to the bridge to town, I was dead. I like Necros, as I play one myself on Bertoxx, but this Necro will feel my dagger in her back...

this guh cast fear on me, so i just walked around a bit, managing how to get my CR after, but, that's it, he didn't follow me at all, think i was lucky
mean pet
# Nov 22 2001 at 10:23 AM Rating: Default
I ran by her last night, her pet attacked me for like 90,162,45 and a miss, I was sowed and running like mad so the pets gotta be pretty quick. turns out she's 50 plus so she can summon. I guess I'm lucky I got to the city and camped aggro off. whew I was goin to FV for a bind and I just made 50 so it would've sucked to die

My main is a lvl 21 Warrior. Now, I've deleveled to 20 about 7 times. While going to LOIO, I ran into a Drachnoid, and I was rooted, and shortly after, dead. After the long ride to FV ( I was bound in Kelethin, no insults on forgeting a bind, plz) I came back. I was already pissed about deleveling again, I ran and ran and ran to get my corpse, when all of a sudden, I am getting hit for hundreds of points. I look down, and I see the name Vekis...Vekis dropped me down some serious XP. I vow one day when I am lvl 60, she will pay with her life, whatever it takes. Her ***, and mark my words, is grass

Her Cons
# Nov 14 2001 at 3:52 AM Rating: Decent
My 48 level tank ran right by her along with a 32 shaman. She ignore me and dotted the living daylights out of the shaman. Shaman made it to FV and healed herself. Guess she has a thing agianst the Tribunal religon. My tank is agnostic so that may have something to do with it. Later I saw her again and she con dubious to me

I was unlucky enough to meet her on the way back to the bank. Before I realized what was going on I was stuck with Ignite blood and Envenomed Bolt. I feigned death and she walked away and tried to bandage, but even tho I bandage for 80hp the dots were doing 120 per tick and last quite a while as it turned out. I didn't have a chance.

Halloween night running back to FV from FM and saw this cool looking Iskar Shaman like creature. I had no idea what or who it was, so I pause for a second or two to con. it when it feares me into the zone. Luckily I found my way back to LOIO zone quickly and safely. Looks just like the model for sale.

heh I am a cleric of the 34th circle, I had heard lots of vekis and vowed to avoid her at all costs. I had just gotten a sow and was coming back into ill and passed the waterfall and I see this necro, my insticts let me down, I didnt attempt to evade her until a second too late when my brain kicked in and said "hey baka thats vekis now RUN". She hit me for 144 the pet tripled me for 60ish and she dotted me, I also got some spiders on me but they were the least of my concerns at the point, DA zone. after zone i healed my self to buy some time to mem the dot removers got rid of that nasty dot in 1 round but out of my 1200 hp all I had was 150 after I zoned.
which quest is she for?
# Oct 08 2001 at 7:06 AM Rating: Decent
Does anyone know which quest she is for? Actually, I hate her so much (although she never had a chance to kill me, only her pet hit me once, dual wield double attack for each 60 or so), that I'd like to make an event of killing her. I want to get a lot of people who have been killed by her, chain stun her and punch her to death. Should be a nice event, having a high level cleric behind us. No weapons, no DD/DoT spells, just fists of enchanters and shamans :-))

I've meet her twice and lived both times. The first time she only feared me and the second time, I think, she did boil blood. A nasty DOT for over a 1000 hp. If it wasn't for my light heal, I would have bought it. I still only had about a 1/4 of a bubble left as I sat and bandaged myself after the DOT had worn off.

But she does de-spawn rathr quickly. I recommend if you can you always track her if your heading to LOIO.

Guild was hosting an event along the river, and Vekis crashed the party. She conned red to our lvl 53 druid, the highest lvl member we had. We all ganged up, and took her out tho. She summoned, and also gates.

She dropped a couple platinum pieces, and a Flowing Black Robe.
