Ya you go VI, sitting here in the swamp with 23 SHD and SHM trying to do a level 10 Khukri quest for the past 4 days. Get chased off by red mobs every 10 minutes.
Well, got a new theory on these Black Ravenger things on to why they show up all over the place sometimes.
Don't know about the tunnel, people claim they pretty consistent their it seems, but for those that zone in through FOB or Cab and get wacked by these immediately...I think they are their from chasing the runners of people that Feared a devourer?
Not sure on this, and anyone that can safely check it out and reply please do so...but after I feared a Insanitable Devourer (cause SOW ran out) and ran to the ruins outside the Cabilis entrance, got smacked by one of these. That is all level 8 or so area right their, so doubt one would spawn their (you would think hunh?) So I'm confident, at least of this time, that the Insanitable Devourer turned into this thing after it got feared.
That or my whole theory goes down the drain and the Devourer just ran and recruited one.

I was coming from Trak Teeth to Swamp to help a guildie with epic fight in Swamp. The first time i've ever gone through trak teeth to get to swamp.
My group mates got through without a scratch, still don't know how. But soon as I zone thru, I'm looking around to see which way my group went as I've never been that way before, and all of a sudden a gang of these things are all over me.
Was getting hit from 120 to 240. I tried to zone back into TT, but didn't make it. Like others, I didn't think anything was that strong in swamp aside from epic mobs.
I feel for any young iksars that may be exploring the swamp and happen to stumble on these beasts.

It looks like we've all got a tale to tell about this nasty thing. I'm not feeling very dramatic at the moment, so I'll try to stick to the facts of my encounter.
found him while scouting the southern cavern near TT zone (#5 on EQAtlas's map) he maxed out at 257 in the SHORT time I was able to take hits from him hit for close to his max quite often against my 900+ AC didn't cast anything during my brief encounter had a pathing problem which delayed his pursuit, but he eventually found me easily chewed through my Hit Points at level 49, and without Lay Hands I would have died on the short trot to the zone line

Every time when I go to Firona vie from Old sebilis, i go though Trakanan's Teeth and Swamp of No Hope. I had never thought Swamp of No Hope was a dangerous zone at all until today. The zone between Trakanon's Teeth and Swamp of No Hope is on the river in the cave. Today,I was zoning to Swamp of no Hope as i usualy do. As soon as i poped out from TT zone, i fell down into the river. As soon as I fell down in the water, I got spammed with 200+dmg messages. When i thought What a hell..., I saw"Loarding, Please wait..." and 2 creepy creatures were swimming away from my corpse on my screen. For a while, i couldnt get what was going on. Later on, my friend helped to look for my courpse. He found my courpse in the middle of the creepy creatures camp. Usually we pop out more down the river after zoning. Today I dont know why,but i poped out on to their camp. So what I want to tell to you is "be careful!!!!" and "watch out for Black revengers!!!"

What is up with Verant lately? They are taking newbie zones (Swamp and Cazic) and putting mobs in them that are outragiously powerful, but have very limited or crapy drops.
What is the point? Is someone going to put a group/raid together to go kill these things for some crappy loot?
Dont think so.

I'm only 52.. and they conned red.. SOOO.. I decided to see just how strong they were.. I ran up and agroed one to see how hard they hit.. got hit for 100ish.. I didn't wanna cast anything to hurt em cause I didn't wanna get summoned. Well after I had him chasin me for a few seconds I thought about it.. and a red mob should hit harder than 100ish.. so I stopped and let him hit me a few times and the hardest one I took was about 220. To me they didn't seem as tough as everyone is sayin they are.. after I let them hit me for a while I cast about 5 spells on em.. disease cloud wasn't resisted.. but dooming darkness was. After about 2 minutes of kiting em I FD a few times to clear the agro and I was on my way.. I dunno why the pally's GF would get summoned right away.. but he didn't seem to wanna get me close after 2 minutes. And the dmg I took was with exactly 1k ac.. dunno if that helps
Sorry that my post is about something completely different than the mob, but a ROOTED MOB will NOT summon anyone..... Until ROOT wears off...

The picture is kind of hard to make out. Are these some kind of worms or millipedes?
I have been by them(in the game) twice but I didn't stop to play with them. I was invis'd, btw :p

Just wanted to re-point out some of the things already mentioned
The HS Froglok is Now at the Froggy Villidge
These Critters Cannot see Invis
They are not fully MR as I managed to root one of em (57 Druid) and was subsequently summoned chewed up and spat out hehe 8D
As far as I can tell they are static Mobs but with a high Aggro radious, if one is attacked
expect another one on u fast
They Summon and Stun like crazy
GL all :)

Ok so the easy strategy is to have a cleric in your group and several tanks, and a druid who harmonies this mob, then snares it, and pulls to the group and runs in a circle while the tanks kill it. Yes, the druid will get summoned, but the cleric can heal him or her, while the tanks beat the life out of it. At 55 it probably has 10khp. That's nothing for 4 tanks to take down if they are all around level 55. Easy cheesy.
Edit: On a side note, if the druid loses aggro, just re-sow or cast fixation of ro on it. I guarantee you'll get aggro again 8)

They are indeed aggressive, as I found out last night... after hunting in TT, went theu SonH zone like I'd done a dozen times before. Suddenly one of these things is all over me, 1678 HP and he took me down in about 8 bites. I could not even get my immobilize spell off with a 1.8 second casting time. My friends who CR and rez'd me said there was over a dozen of the things in the water! And I thought this was a noobie zone...

Are these "black sperms" in the water agressive or do you have to do something to them to agro you?
Extremely agressive, and with a high agro radius that pretty much covers all of the water in the tunnel. If you're invised, or even if you just hug the tunnel walls going in and out of Trakanon's Teeth, you should be able to avoid agro. (my first trip in tunnel since thse gus were put in there, I never even found out they were there, as I was on the dry strip of land in the tunnel going into TT.) However, you get in the water while not invised, and both will immediately attack you! Good luck.

Drops some "Deathwing" stuff, Boots, shoulders, skullcap. All really crappy stats. Any ideas on new quests out there for them?

I found a dark elf quest npc in LOIO tonight that gave some "deathwing" quest named Fullic D`Vinn. Indifferent and blue to my 53 halfling druid... I think we've got a new quest going here
EDIT: Went to my log file and pulled the relative text. Don't know now if these things are part of the quest, but might be worth looking into.
[Sat May 18 21:11:25 2002] Fullic D`Vinn regards you indifferently -- he appears to be quite formidable.
[Sat May 18 21:11:26 2002] Fullic D`Vinn is straight ahead.
[Sat May 18 21:11:27 2002] You say, 'Hail, Fullic D`Vinn'
[Sat May 18 21:11:27 2002] Fullic D`Vinn Glares at you with contempt. And what do you want peasant? Can't you see I'm busy? Go make yourself useful and feed yourself to the deathwing [drakes].

[Sat May 18 21:11:39 2002] Fullic D`Vinn says 'The drakes that have been attacking the transports recently. If you had half a brain or sense of observance you would have noticed the Dark swarm that's been ravaging the land recently. I cherish a bit of chaos as much as the next Teir'dal but this is beginning to become an annoyance. Make yourself useful and go slay a few of them and bring me back their [talons] and their [hearts].'
[Sat May 18 21:11:57 2002] You say, 'what talons'
[Sat May 18 21:11:57 2002] Fullic D`Vinn says 'I’ll tolerate your endless yapping if you bring me the talons of any of the deathwing [watchers], [guardians], [furies], [minions] or [lords]. Now leave me before I tear your tongue from your head.'
[Sat May 18 21:12:13 2002] That is not a valid command. Please use /help.
[Sat May 18 21:12:16 2002] You say, 'what hearts'
[Sat May 18 21:12:16 2002] Fullic D`Vinn says 'The hearts of these drakes may prove useful in some arcane rituals I've been exploring. Bring them to me and I will reward you.'

A group of seemily innocent players, intent on getting the HS key for their chanter, ventured into SoNH via TT to see dugroz for his gift. The rogue and pally were first to zone, immediately running on toward the camp. Bam! By the time the rest of the group zoned thru, they were looking for their corpses, yelling the whole time about "black sperm in the water". After rezzies, we decided that "revenge was sweet" was to be utilized, so, back in we went to collect their butts. Conning dk blue to 56's and lt blue to 59's, we figured wtf. Rogue pulled a single, but almost instantly he had a companion. Ok, just two, should be np. Hehe. The chanter could not mez em, the wizzie could not nuke em~ seeing this, evacauate was cast, but before it could clear, the wizz was stunned, chewed up, and spit out in the nasty water. Cleric almost made zone, but was summoned back to her death. The only thing looted was our corpses. Needless to say, these are badarsed ****, and I would suggest to anyone that needs the HS key to go on thru FV, SoNH route and forget the tunnel. Thanks Verant, never a dull moment! Sigh.

Hi,
Near the TT zone, inside the caves where the old HS key quest guy and some froglok's used to be ( Dugroz was moved to the Froglok city area ) there are lvl 55 warrior mobs named Black Ravengers.
These bastards hit for 270 a pop and are fairly resistant. They also summon. NOT ONLY do they summon, but at current date they summon you underneath the world and really **** in your cornflakes.
I suggest staying away unless you bring a decent group ready to slow, heal like a **** and hopefully you won't get summoned into an oblivion and end up under the world in the river/swamp getting chain summoned.. or in East Cab ( safe spot when you go too far under the world ).
BTW: They don't see invis.
FU Verant.. wth are these things and why are they broken-assed up?
Bah.

Spent 2 hours killing these mobs today. 60enc 60sham 60dru 60paly 60war 57 necro (me). They droped nothing the whole time i was there...not even PP max hit parsed was 237, They have a VERRY high rate of summon and ALOT of hps. Had fun killing them..Sad they seem to drop nothing.

there are 14 of them in the cavern that zones to TT. the old iskar camp is gone but lots of untargetable corpses are laying around like these guys killed all the iskars at the camp. the key to HS turn in is gone too and filled with these guys. my guess is that they will be nerfed soon and that a rare named will pop after a while of killing these guys and drop something good. i single pulled on out of the key turn in place and it hit me like this 195 151, 176 195. i zoned into TT at this point and i wasnt summoned at all.

Heh, our ranger in our 2 Party Ulump raid went to pull one of these and didn't realize he didn't Harmonize is other 15 friends close by UNDER the water. Total...Party ...Wipeout....And fast. all of us were over 50. The black sperm here now are NO JOKE. Double hit for 270 and summon. Not to be messed with unless you are in Full Force.
