Trying to separate the loot tables of the two "Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra" blobs now that they have proper individual names which can be validated through the new Conqueror of Vex Thal achievement. If you see any discrepancies with what drops are listed here with what you get (make sure you actually killed the SOUTH blob), let us know so we can get it corrected.
Added the "Set" affix to this mob's name to preserve the vintage Alla comments, and I imagine this is the blob most people on Live are after for the human illusion click.
NORTH [Tue Feb 14 10:40:36 2012] You have slain Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra! [Sun Feb 19 22:46:59 2012] You have slain Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra! [Sun Feb 19 22:47:11 2012] Bracer of Black Blood, Umbracite Plate Leggings, Wand of Everlasting Water, Ancient: Eternal Rapture'
SOUTH [Tue Feb 14 13:11:52 2012] You have slain Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra! [Sun Feb 19 23:18:44 2012] You have slain Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra! [Sun Feb 19 23:18:53 2012] Spiked Shoulderpads, Ring of Resistance, Spiked Chain Leggings [Sat Feb 25 11:05:24 2012] You have slain Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra!

I'm going to say 6 1/2 +/- 12 hours 3 kills for Circlet (North Kaas doesn't have it) I'm going to consider myself lucky
I was camping the south goo for the circlet. The south goo respawned in 3 days, 22 hours, and 45 minutes. (Respawn observed) Edit: Found up (spawn not observed) at 3 days, 19 hours. Spawn observed at 4 days, 2 hours, 55 minutes.
I also killed the north goo just for the hunter check off. I didn’t pay as close attention, but I killed the north goo about 12 hours later than I did the south, and it respawned about 12 hours sooner than the south, so call it 3 days almost exact.
This is not true. I killed him 4 days ago and I've been sat on his spot ever since and it didn't respawn. So the previous answer which says 6 and a half days +/- 12 hours is probably correct. I can confirm later when it repops.
Just did Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra last night was pretty easy was boxing a warrior used defensive through most of the fight get him cornered and you will be good to go,max hit was about 1130 that was went i ate enrage but other then that its a dps fight for sure,5 6 mins later mob died and loot was ~
been too long to remember some specifics. See that little cubby in the background? Park a mage there. COH raid in everytime you want to kill it. It's in a room by itself, no adds come.

Its also best not to tank it where the picture shows, fling can toss you close to the door, which will net you bout 4 adds. The cubby behind, where you COH to, is safer. The mob is slowable and i suggest you do, for by even todays standards it puts out decent dps.
best way to counter the flings: the mobs in vt fling you the direction they are facing. So tank against wall or corner, everyone will fly into that direction. Fight the mobs from the sides, and you dont lose much dps since you are just flying sideways, can strafe a little if you lose sight.

From what I have seen, though they may have the same name, they both have seperate loot tables. This means that the items listed here will drop from one or the other but not from both. I kept track of the loot off these mobs on our last 4 clears. While we got repeat items there was no over lap between the two.
First Goo:
Nightcaller leggings x3 Mask of Piety x3 Spiked Chain Leggings x2 Mask of Dark Thoughts Orb of Satisfaction Spiked Shoulderpads
Second Goo: Belt of Mastery x2 Wand of Everlasting Water x2 Crown of Ambivalence Wand of Tranquility Cloak of the Black Wind x2 Umbricite Leggings x2 Crown of Energy x2

Posted:Feb 18 2003 at 10:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Me and Guild dropped him last night on my war, he was pirty easy, we had some trouble about the third time we tried cuz 1 of my clerics went LD and got back on just in time to give me a full heal before i died (hew) hehe was dun tho, dropped the wand for one of our enchanters he was so excited hehe i would be to that wand rules.
So I was in Vex Thal today clearing up to aten, and we were whacking at this guy with much seriousness- but the zone crashes when he's at 10%! Curses, says I- for some reason the bad mobs will kill me right as I come in.
Not so.
I logged in to find 2 other people get eaten by the bad blob(!) and I had just enough time to get to the center of the room and noticed this bad 1000pt hitting mojo tearign stragith off at me! Being merely a wizard, I did the one things I do best. Kite. For 15 minutes I kited this very blob around - and by goad his room is incredibly small. I kept getting gfluxed as well, and had to steer myself around, even getting caught on the room's overhang, as well! All was not lost, however, R3 is just enough needed to kite this around his tiny room and not get hit.
We killed the blobs after people came in, and proceeded to Aten Ha Ra who dropped us, among other things, a Mask of Secrets. But surely I'm now among the few and the proud to have ever kited Kaas Thox Xi Aten Ha Ra.

Posted:Oct 03 2002 at 4:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Since everything that this thing drops is no drop, I have a feeling that all loot will be awarded to those who need it as a upgrade. If more than one person needs that item as a upgrade, maybe then it would either be randomd between those persons, or given to the most seinor of those persons. (Meaning the person that has been in the guild the longest in between those who want the item) Shrug, I'm not sure how these uber guilds work out giving loot. Maybe they are allready so powerfull and they have alts that they camp outside and if nodrop loot drops that they don't need as upgrades, maybe they give that loot to thier alts? Shrug, again I'm not sure how uber guilds work out looting, though if I had one I guess that's how I'd work out looting :)
most guilds that I know of that are VT capable (or any high end zone) run under the point system. There are some slight variations here and there for loot distribution but for the most part, players will bid on an item which is given X amount of points that it is worth.
AHR is indeed harder then this mob.. besides aten though, it is a pretty nasty mob. Has some considerable melee dps and you will definately want more then 1 healer for this one, unless you are all GoD geared or something. 20ish min fight with 12 people, had 1 cleric 1 shm as only healers, both vt/ep geared, tank had 10k hp unbuffed.
just FYI guilds do occasionally random items even at this level, granted it's between two or three people(generally the same race/class) with similar amounts of raid points, but it does happen ;)

Posted:Jun 11 2002 at 4:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Level 64? How do you take this guy down? Four groups of 6 members each, all level 60? Then if you manage to kill it, you roll and sift through 24 die rolls.... assuming all members lived through ordeal.
The level of the creature doesn't really matter in a zone such as this.. it's the amount of hit points the darn thing has.. Most named mobs such as this have 500,000+ hps.. so expect a good 15 to 20 minute fight.
And I'd tip my hat to a raid of 24 that could take this guy down.. I've been on a 40 person raid for the other Goo guy.. just don't think 24 could deal enough dmg before mana starts running low. Someday perhaps. ;)
And yea.. you don't just /random 100 on items like this.. Most raids in VT are guilds which have specific loot or point systems for rewarding items.
Also if you rolled on anything either the raid leader or some one the raid leaders asigns will rand roll for the number of people in the raid ie 24 people the ML master looter would roll a 24 sided dice. depending on the item if it was a class or race only then you would only roll a dice for that number of people.
It will be awarded, not rolled for. To get into VT takes a long quest to acquire the key, and to power the key, you need a drop from the boss mob of ssra temple. And each time you kill king snakey, you can only power 40 keys. Plan on several months to acquire the key and power source.
VT Key done in less than a week here. (Would have been faster, but I had to wait 3 days till we killed Emp in Ssra for my rift) And I soloed all but 2 of my shards and two boxed my Frame (Druid Main with Cleric Bot to Pac)... so dont tell me time sink anymore... this key is cake.
Not now; and I personnally find harder to key a single person than a full guild... With level 65, we can onegroup all the available camps in the zone or kill alot of pottential droppers, which make shards to drop much faster than if you solo or duo. It depends of place, in DSP it's faster to let everyone solo since there are not enough mobs for more than two persons; but in Seru or Akheva, or even the deep, it's easier, faster, and funnier to group or raid the zones (well, raid is a bit overkill, but two groups in seru is fun =P)
