whoever said that the ones in downshroud have 5k 10k 20k hp? you obviously cant count or add. my level 52 druid can easily quad these guys and if they even had 5khp i would be oom before they would be down to a quarter hp, remember sometimes spells get resisted. anyway does anyone know if the ones in ds drop the fist of rock or is it only the ones in ML
Alright - spent a fair amount of time hunting these guys - here's the story on them. Yes, they're the ones that drop the fist of rock. Yes, it's pretty damn rare. I've seen 1 in over 100 kills - sorta like forest loops, it's random and you have to be patient.
Stonegrabbers are aggro, and wander all over the place basically. At level 57 they were 50/50 Blue or Aqua cons.
These guys hit for 131-133 max, and they double. About drolvarg attack speed. Melees, bring a slower or you're gonna be dead pretty quick.
Casters, stay the hell out of their way - keep your distance - even with 950 AC they were still hitting plenty hard. I wouldn't even want to imagine what they do to robe ac ;)
*They seem to run at lower end sow speed.* Don't count on getting away unless you've got a fairly high level sow going.
I'd guess on the average about 4k hps, maybe a little less.
They do not resist root, disease, or poison any more than your Joe Average mob, I had little problem with that. Can't speak for any other resists.
As a 57 shaman, these weren't any big deal, but one of the few mobs that I've ever needed to slow in order to root/dot safely in case of breaks. Not to be underestimated. Good luck folks.
if the fist of rock's drop rate is anything like the fist of wood you are going to be waiting a long time to get one unless you get really lucky, cuz i got the fist of wood out of paludal caverns after killing well over 150 of those damn elder mushroom things
The are a bunch of these in DS, near the Rockhopper cave. They were dark blue at 45, but hit very hard and have a lot of HP. If memory serves me, they hit in the upper 90s and have about 3K HP. They don't seem to be overly resistent to Fire or Magic damage, but I did get a couple of resists to Malisment.
I was experimenting with charm-soloing in mseru last night near the NL zone (outside the entrance hall). I pit one Stonegrabber against a second and watched them go at it for a bit. Everything was fine until two more appeared out of nowhere right as charm broke. So I have a colossal Stonegrabber train heading for the zone (lvl 25, pretty much can't channel a color stun through all that, and the zone was pretty empty), and when I get to the building the guards joined in the fun and beat me down.
I had previously gotten mobbed by greyhoppers and pulled a similar stunt, but was ignored by the guards.
So the question is: what faction are these fellows on? Will hunting them trash my rep in sseru? Should I care?
Hmm dont know why guards jumped you unless you already screwed your faction, stonegrabbers have no faction as far as i know, unless it was changed recently. Let me applaud your charm soloing, though - by FAR the most dangerous, fun and rewarding way to play a chanter or druid =)
I figured it out -- I made one last ditch attempt to stop the train and tagged a guard with a color stun. Oops. It's been a while since I had to worry about aggroing guards.
I've gone back to mseru and concluded that there's no faction changes at all from hunting Stonegrabbers, Greyhoppers, etc.

Posted:Jan 29 2002 at 8:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hhi me my self and a 52 necro would liek to get a fist of rock anyone know how often then drop i gotthe extra dots and dd damage he has the fear and dot i know we could take these as loign as root held do they resist snare or root alot and how often does the fist of rock drop ?
This guy is not that hard at all. ALWAYS great exp in the zone. His loot is coin 3 or 4pp up to 9pp most of the time you never see 3pp. some times he lay down and look like some rock so be careful if you dont have SOW but i can always give you one.
I am 52 shaman and first off they all coned dark blue so 25 is a lot lower then the actual level range. second of all they have about 3k hp which isn't too bad for the level. 1 plague, and 2 envenomed bolts to be exact. and slight meleeing when he runs. about 3k hp. third they give extremely great exp for us 50 + guys, but on the other hand he never droped 1 item, or any coins not 1 copper. I have soloed these for 2 days now and I'm gaining more exp then I have in the last 3 days before mcombined elsewhere. hope this helps.
BLAIL 52 SHAMAN LIGHT OF THE REALM VAESELLE SERVER
BEware the ones in Dawnshroud. A 45 SK friend and I (47 ranger) decided it was blue to us so no problem. We dumped every arrow and spell we had on it and it kept on comming. Would not fear, though it would snare in root. They hit hard, have high AC and can you say Hitpoints.....OMG 5K 10K 20K? I couldn't even venture a guess, but very high. We ended up rooting it, binding wounds, rooting it, binding wounds etc etc etc. Finaly the thing went down.
So - you have been warned, these are tougher then you think.
Hunted in Mons Letalis extensivly over the past 3 days. We have a small group 51pally 51cleric 51wizard. We have the wizzy pull just stay levitated and keep boots/sow up. He pulls with his Staff of temprate flux and can chain pull rather well. We got a full group together and came here chain pulled with almost no downtime concentrating on the rocks and go ziltch on the drops. Found an interesting mob that was invis though called a Thought leach. We had 3 adds and had to zone =( Too bad too as we have not been able to find another the leach looked like..well i cant describe it it was high blue to us at 51 and only hit for 70's and 80's. =( darn adds. Dont kill the bugs if you can help it you will go kos and pulls will be much harder after that. GL here and safe hunting =) ps full bub of blue in about an hour or so with just the 3 of us in 51. Thats not too bad in my book =)
