Caller Quest
# Jan 05 2004 at 12:34 AM Rating: Decent
This guy spawns as part of the caller quest. I think it is only during this event that you will find him, but am not sure. It is the only time that I have seen him. Read more about it here.

Basta Caller Groo

Had Tochaka down to less then 10% today and who comes outta the side tunnel? None other than Caller Groo and he gives him the final blow.

Was I mad it was a 40 minute fight and i had just feared him so he would not gate.

I am a level 57 Necro and it took me 14 deaths to work out how to do this solo.

Concellation prizes

1 pair of Fungal Flesh Gloves
1 Rough Hide bracer
1 Fungusbeast spine
1 Fungus Patch Vest

All on one small bottle of Blagrot 37pp

In total was about a 5 hour solo camp
Even made a run to POK for Kei once and caller was still up callin away.

I found that if ya beat the caller down to about 5% health he will not aggro anything.

His regen is really slow. So slow he gets about 1% every 8-10 minutes.

Am not sure but i think he stops aggroing at 15%. At least thats when he stops hittin my pet back.

Dont mark me on that though because I have had him at around 11% health ran some Fungi up to the Tarmocks and got back only to find him fightin the new pop.

Thats why I like to keep the callers health under 7% all the time.

If you use fear like I do careful usin that in the tarmock village because if the mob goes the wrong way all of a sudden you have the shadel bandits chasin ya. They dont like ya messin with the fungi cause i am amiable with them but they came right for me when a feared fungi went thru their camp. To make matters worse if the Shadel bandits aggro you the Tarmocks will want a piece of you to.


Needless to say that was one of my 14 deaths.

Ive seen his twice with turning in the small bottles, but then again ive seen all the named at least once using just the small bottles.

If you want to get crazy and got the right classes and pp to waist, get 4 bottles and turn then in, 4 callers will respawn, 3 mobs each per wave, got the right classes lvls and you can make it easy 2 or 3 rounds before OOM, and your get at least 2 named in that time i have found.

Could a level60 ranger with epic do it?
RE: Could..
# May 28 2002 at 1:15 PM Rating: Default
Epic? Or Epics? Regardless, no, you can't solo here...these things will mash you solo, even a 59 monk had trouble splitting some of the lil shroom camps.

As well, I saw a 60 pally just last night fall to two mobs...mean zone, but once you get xp here, you'll never go back to Sebilis for xp.

No class can solo the caller quest.

Shrooms pull solo at 60, if your not 60 you get 2-4 shrooms.

Rangers can solo alot, if you see rangers unable to solo its because they are skill-less.

FG is an easy zone for exp solo, as a ranger(yah know, the class that cant solo) I can make 6-7 blue's of AA exp an hour.

Whoever that 60th pal who died to two mobs, I sure hope it wasnt two shrooms... Poor guy would have to delete outta shame.

ps. Shaman usually solo 4 Shrooms at a time, that gives you an idea how weak this zone really is.

Just as a point of Reference, I'm a 60 pally and I solo in FG all the time. I do think that it's not cake to do so. At 60 single pulls are easy (that is easy to get singles when pulling).

Self buffed (so 3600HP, 1300AC, 1100ATK) and crumby self pally haste of 25 pcnt, I can handle 3 shrooms but am totally oom and Lay Hands. So one is a good xp solo, and 2 is some med time required after.

I find it best for xp, if I get KEI, and invite a Rogue or Monk, or even a shammy. Then I can heal with tons of mana to spare, and the kills happen fast enought to move things along.

A bit of outdated info here. I soloed the caller event as a lvl 62 Bard as soon as I got FM. FM was a nice tool but not critical to this. I use the small bottle and the South cave caller.

as soon as called despawns and respawns as perma rooted I whack him once to get agro. Then I sit back invis and watch. The fiends don't attack the caller until he attacks them first so with the Caller agroed on you he doesn't attack the fiends. Wait for desired name to spawn. Hit one of the little fiends to agro the group and run for the Tarmok camp. The cavemen will dispatch the fieds that you train in . Target your selected name and Highsun him back to spawn point. Return down the cave to chant kite the named and claim your reward.

At lvl 70 now, I just melee them. Unless I have things to do around the house then I use my invis method and just check back every 10 minutes or so to see what has spawned.

Piece of cake to solo and I'm sure other classes can use a similar technique. Maybe root or snare the name before training the Tarmok camp will give you a chance to get rid of the train and get the named before he gets beat by the cavemen.

I got this shield. We gave the Caller some beer and he went to the caves and started calling the little beasties 3 at a time. Every now and again he would call more and some were named. The shield dropped off the named one when we were behind and had about 9 mezzed. Literally we looted it and died. :)
