I was killing The Avatar of War in the arena when i saw a mob named Grenden the Destroyer pop right in the center of it. He was only up for a minute then disappeared so did not have to get his level or kill him. Regular giant mob.

I couldn't tell what exact level they were because I watched them be killed on a low level char but they were definitely some of the tougher mobs in the zone around 50-60 at least. They both had the Velketor model. When you conned their corpses they had a decay and ressurection timer which leads me to believe they might have been part of a guide event.

Yes, The Fabled Idol of Rallos Zek is definitely missing from the list. I (84 shaman) took it on with merc tank and rk2 pet and gated out after 45 seconds, because it was a hopeless cause. The parse (using GamParse v1.0.2) shows max hit on merc at 5238, with a lot of hits in the 2750 to 4000 range. His average DPS on the merc was 1300. The merc had a max hit of 1453 with an average DPS of just over 500.
as mentioned by grglndr, Lieutenant Steinern is missing. I pulled him from the 'crystal stairs' crossroads and he dropped Eroded Leather Leggings! Also Giant Warrior Helmet and Storm Giant Toes.
as an aside - Many years ago Lt Vellos used to be drop quest armor pieces almost every time. Now I never see him. I know that not only one NPC pops in one spot, they go through a rotation, but for all the factioning I have done here I haven't seen him in ages...

Kivak Icekeeper is a yellow con to my 67 CLR. My cleric is max KoS to Kromrif and Kromzek, but is dubious to Kivak. From the item in his hand I say he is an Anniversary NPC for a Collectotion quest on Velious starting in Kael. There is one that starts in Thurgadin, maybe there is one is Skyshrine also.

The Plate House Cylce is actually a triggered event that is part of the 9th Coldain Ring quest. Part 5 of the quest writeup describes how to trigger the NPC that starts the event:
was wondering kael was the raidcity of the early days why didn,t they plant w BIGASS GIANT in kael like 10 times as big as tomax hits for 7000 DTes every 30sec for like some sort of epic 2.0 would be hilarious :)
Is it possible for a 61 necro to solo the Ice shard manor for the royal kromiff blood? (are the giants fearable? cant seem to remember off hand myself)
I have a question, where does the torn enchanted stuff drop (Robe in particular). Been a LONG time and cant remember anymore, in and around the Arena area correct, and could a group of well equiped 65's kill mobs in this area without much of a problem. And if they do I can easily get twog roups together in raid, More then likely one group of all 65's, and another of late 50's. And would they be able to take mobs in this area? Just wondering.
Would a 35 ranger LIVE here? I was wondering becuase i have lately been exploring zones. i noticed there are merchants there also, would ibe able to reach them at all? And are the 30-35s easy to kill, or are they really hard? And are they at the entrances? My thanks if someone responds. (Also, should i wait until at least 40 or 45?)
With todays market in bazaar, if you can buy the items dropped in PoP/GoD, you are much better equipped than the days of velious. So, at lvl 35, its "possible" to kill the mobs at the zone-ins. However, the XP in this zone wouldn't be worth your time. You'd be better off heading for Gunthak to find a group there (as long as you have LoY).
As for the merchants, it was previously stated that faction can be a tough thing here. You have to kill the Thurg Dwarfs or Velious Dragons (West Wastes or Temple of Veeshan), the latter of which you will need to be in an upper 40's and 50's GROUP minimum to be able to handle, in order to even get through the zone without agro.
My suggestion: Stick with LoY or even Dreadlands once you get upper 30's and 40's for XP. Save this zone for raiding when and if you decide to go that route with your character =o)
