Mines of Nurga 2.0

This place is very safe as far as dungeons go, none of the mobs see invis and none wander. there are plenty of large clear areas to pull to, the only negative things about this place are the casters the lack of worthwhile item drops(besides the shroud of nature) and the one way nature of the entrance.(which isnt a problem for small races or if you can shrink)if you are just looking to exp grind its not a bad spot.

The Goblins have taken the caves. Their are no loose burny or spiders. Just...goblins and more goblins. This is of December 15th, 2002, on the Sullon Zek server. Let me know if any different elsewhere.

Could a level 40 rogue solo here for good xp with very good equipment (Fungi, Cloak of Flames, 1000 AC)?

I went down to nurga to farm faction today and noticed the slaves. Indifferent and blue to 60. I left them alone until I sent my pet on one by mistake. It seems that they are immune to magic and fire and I'm guessing everything else as well. However, they seemed quite easy to kill. My epic pet killed it losing only a bub and a half of health.

If they can be single pulled (I killed the one in the room with the single slave)I bet they would be good exp for a melee/healer duo due to the zones large xp modifier.

if you have the Frontier Ore, I want just one, will pay 100pp for one of them, or more if need be, I am on Ayonae Ro and my name is Kanvarwen

As a necro, I took advantage of fear corner in the mines to fly from 40-47. Now that I'm powerleveling my ranger, I returned here to check things out. The changes I have seen:
1. No more spiders or Burynai. They've all been replaced with various goblins, all level 31-35 (possibly higher; the ranger tracked them all as yellow/low red when he started and just dinged--they're all even-low red now).
2. The layout remains the same except that fear corner has had a wall altered so that it's a big passageway now. The path still ends in the same spot, so now mobs will just run to the middle of the passageway and stand there while you pound on them.
3. The sleeping ogre, who used to lay smack dab in the middle of fear corner, has been moved one large cavern away. His new loc is approx. 0x,-1350y (sorry, not good with the EQ loc system) according to the EQAtlas (www.eqatlas.com) map. He's still lvl 30, still spawns about every 2 hrs., still aggroes everything and gives xp but no loot.
4. The goblins drop various quest items that I'm too lazy to look up like a No-Drop crest that looks like a MM shield, "a rolled up parchment", some type of ore, cash, FS weapons, and booze (w00t!). I'm guessing the warders do in fact drop the Shroud of Nature as I've gotten opals thus far (I've mostly avoided them as they're too tough for my lvl 31 to take down) though no shroud yet.

Otherwise, still looks the same. Nothing that I'm aware of can see invis, still no wanderers throughout at least most of the dungeon, still give the 18% xp bonus, and is now an AWESOME option for some great xp/loot for characters in their 30's (as opposed to those in their low 40's as it was before).

I hunted here in Nurga for about five levels between levels 30 and 40, and decided to return for some Chardok faction at level 51. When I entered Nurga I immediately noticed some changes. Gone were the iksars, burynai and spiders, all replaced by nothing but goblins. I also noticed that some of the goblin types were new to Nurga and were more in line with the goblins you'd find in Droga. Droga being a similar zone to Nurga just a bit higher level. As I was building faction, a goblin warder pops. Now I knew from hunting in Droga that this mob dropped the Shroud of Nature, a nice mid level tunic for druids and rangers. I killed it and it dropped an opal. Again from my experiences in Droga, i knew that the opal was the common drop and the shroud was the uncommon drop. I invised and ran through Nurga looking for more warders finding two. I dispatched them and yes, one of them had the shroud. It is remarkably easier to get the shroud in Nurga now as opposed to getting it in Droga where you often times will get gangwhacked by six or more mobs. Here in Nurga you rarely get gangwhacked by more than three mobs at a time. The shroud still goes for about 1.5k, however, with the new inclusion of acrylia armor and the new easy availability of the shroud in Nurga, expect the price on this to drop to around 500pp very soon. Take advantage of this boon now. As for the Choker of Majdd(?) if my suspicions are correct, a soothsayer may pop in Nurga now too, as it does in Droga. Good hunting :)

There are no more spiders, they have been replaced by goblins. Let's please observe a moment of silence.

have seen something called a rolled up goblin parchment drop here and in droga, any idea what it's for? i only have about 10 skill in goblin so can't read it too coherently. however, i could make out the word deathsteel ore, so perhaps it's a trade recipe?

i was just wondering exactly what does the frontier ore drop off of now?? that is all i need for the whistler quest and i would love to find the ore. i need a new weapon hehe

They are for an iksar shammy quest.

I havent been here yet but from my experience in Kaesora with same spiders of same levels.Only the briarwebs can see invis

Overseer Dlubish spawns in the largest room with 3 exits west-east-north at the firecamp spawn. kill everything there and within an hour he should be there. killed him several times this week.
