The City of Mist, also known as Torsis, was built under the guidance of Lord Rak'Ashiir shortly after the fall of the Shissars.

Problems arose when Rak'Ashiir's wife, Queen Neh`Ashiir, grew weary of life in Torsis, had a secret romance with High Scale Kirn, and fled the city with her lover. Rak'Ashiir gradually lost faith in his god, and one night, Cazic Thule sent one of his minions to take Rak'Ashiir's daughter away. This event prompted Rak'Ashiir to lay out the groundwork for the city's demise.

The once-great City of Mist is now home to a host of undead and golem reavers. Some of its temples and towers have withstood the test of time, and the spirits of the King and Queen remain. Bring a rogue friend to pick locks, there are many doors that don't have a key.

I hear the Green Jade Broadswords were dropped by the Black Reavers or its it all random in th zone? You can tell if a mob has something good either by:
A: They are holding a weapon
B. When they are almost dead they run away from you

Its pretty safe to get a bind here, when you die just get ready to Bolt to the zone if something happens and NEVER go AFK near the zone. Who knows what people train :)
Unless you can hide or FD.
Just bind near the zone and get ready to move to the zone when you do get a bind here in CoM

Lhrac photos
# Jun 28 2001 at 9:54 AM Rating: Default
To the anon poster who was wondering if anyone had any screenshots of Lhrac. I have seen this guy and unfortunately I did not take a SS of him. I can tell you where he chills though. If you are familiar with the zone, when you go back near where the goo houses are there is a big building set in the center of the zone that buts up against the wall leading back to the castle with the lords and reavers. If you open the door he is just hanging out inside. He is indiff to me and I believe that he is non KOS to all that see him. Just dont smack him unless you plan on taking him down with a couple heavy hitters as he is the last of the SK epic mobs for the wep. He looks like a floating Iksar Ghost, nothing different or special about his look.

All in all, this is a great XP/Raid zone. Have hunted there for 3 levels and have been on 3 reaver/lord raids, the last of which we made it all the way up the the Wraith of Jaxion for an enchanter to continue his quest for his epic. Reavers arent to bad with a nicely balanced group. Lord Ghiosk was nice enough to drop the MoSS which I now wield ... sweet SK wep. Last raid Ghiosk dropped the TBOY ... and I won that roll too :)

Anyway, if I see Lhrac again ill snap a photo for ya. Have fun in this zone all

#Anonymous, Posted: May 31 2001 at 12:41 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) **** that drops here is ****** rare as freaking hell except for the wraithbone hammers. I have fought in this zone for over 1 month, several hours everyday, been here since lvl 39 and I am now 47, i have seen about 20 wraith bone hammers drop and ONLY 1 count it 1!!! freakin master wu stick drop. NEVER has a GJBS dropped or anything else, and of course i lost the roll on the Wu stick to a damn wizard which is ****, wizzies win every ***** item, just thought i'd tell you, it's VERY VERY hard to solo here because of pathing and don't expect to get a Wu stick or GJBS EVER! and if you do, dear god you are lucky, this **** is rare.

Green Jade Broadsword
# May 27 2001 at 3:28 PM Rating: Decent
I've spent months in CoM and for one thing GJBs are random off specific mobs not any mob. I have seen a number drop and they only drop off the sarnak looking ghost mobs. Wu's trance sticks drop off the iksar ghosts and the skeles and golems drop extremely rare weapons including wu's quivering staff, kunzar kujuch and the worst wraithebone hammers there are numerous other drops off these mobs as well
Jade broadsword?

Can a 55th lvl wizard get a green jade broadsword soloing or would he need help?
wouldn't doubt it
# May 16 2001 at 10:49 AM Rating: Decent
GJB is one of the random drops in CoM, as are many of it's drops. As long as you watch out for some of the nasty mobs in the zone, like the Reavers, you should have no trouble killing greens for a couple days and picking up the sword. Guess it depends on how well you solo though.

Where is the jade reaver dropped? I am a druid working on the epic. Allakhazam's says I need this to get the enchanted clay. Don't see any info on Jade Reavers here.... I hope this is a common drop of normal mobs but i doubt it. Only want it for the quest. At least it doesn't appear that many folks come here lusting after this weapon.....

Great posts on this zone guys, and from what I can tell from the time that I've spent here, they're mostly true. However, the groups I've been in haven't really ventured past the stables area yet and I was curious if anyone has been able to find a map yet???? Neither EQAtlas nor EQmaps has one yet & I need one bad!! Please help =)

Just like the title said, it would be a full group, lvl range of 35 to 40. We would like to hunt the skele's to get some of the nice 1hs's in this zone. So my question is where do the skele's spawn and can a group of 35's - 40 get to them? Any help would be appciated.

Ok so you all know, Master Wu's Trance Sticks can be dropped from any of the spawns in the City of Mist. I have seen the sticks drop from Goos, Skeleton types and Golems...these sticks are just rarely dropped is all.

The goo's do not drop the trance sticks.
The shadow's do. I have seen 2 of them drop from shadows and from no other mob.

Yes, it is a rare drop. You have to kill the Black Reaver and then one of the Lords. I think it is Ashir Rak that drops it.

Would be very rough unless you had someone split the entrance mobs for you; not easy to do since a lot of people do not hunt here. When more people start to hunt here I would say a group of mid thirties could do a decent job of the entrance mobs.

Haze and vapor golem drop obsidian ring of quintessence, firerune brand, and green jade broadsword

Fog and mist golem drop green jade broadsword, wu's quivering staff and sainy's claw

spurbone / plaguebone skeletons / greater spurbone / greater plaguebone / greater warboned skeletons drop runewood great staff, kunzar ku'juch, green jade broadsword, and wraith bone hammer. (the run at end of fight when they have wraith bone hammer).

Lvl 38ish and 41ish girating goos drop lost staff of the scorned and green jade broadswords.

Lvl 45ish girating goos drop lost staff of the scorned, wintry club, and green jade broadswords.

captain of the guard always drops ancient coin for bard quest, fine steel ulak and trooper shield (no drop items)

a black reaver drop lvl 55+ spells, shimmering partisan, jade reaver and axe of lost souls

Lord Ghiosk drops mace of shadowed souls common and throneblade of the ykesha rare.

Neh'ashiir drops ornate rune shield common and woodsman staff as rare.

Lord Rak'ashiir drops ornate runed blade common and atrementous shield rare.

Lhranc drops the sk epic weapon if a sk turns in the neccessary items beforehand.

Also the mist golems, girating goos, greater warboned, and wraiths that are lvl 45 or higher all drop spells as well as their other rares. (seem to be the lottery spells you turn into questers tho)

each type of mob here except the named and black reavers drop ruined scale armor as a semi-common.

Wraith of jaxion and human skeleton do not drop anything.

An army behemoth drops strange ochre clay for cannabalise 2 quest as well as a chance at dropping the other high lvl golem items.

Levels:
(ghosts)
shadow - 34-38
apparition - 36-40
spectral courier - 36-40
phantom - 39-44
wraith - 44-49
Wraith of jaxion - 47-51 (has very low resists)
(following 3 ghosts have very high resists but are not 100% resistant. If you can tash and malo them, you will be able to land spells about 50% of the time at lvl 60. You don't really have a prayer of landing anything before lvl 60 unless you are a 52+ wizard.)
lord ghiosk - 52-53
neh'ashiir - 53
lord rak'ashiir - 53-54
Lhranc - 60 (Extremely high resists but not 100%)

(golems)
haze - 33-37
vapor - 36-40
fog - 38-41
mist - 43-48
an army behemoth - 38-43

(goos)
girating goo - 37-41
girating goo - 39-43 (city wall version)
girating goo - 44-48 (high lvl version)

(skeletons)
spurbone - 32-36
captain of the guard - 36 ?
plaguebone - 34-38
greater spurbone - 34-39
greater plaguebone - 38-42
a human skeleton - 39-43 (harder than his level)
greater war boned skeleton - 43-48

and of course...
a black reaver - 52-53 (100% resists on all types of spells. NEED TO MELEE OR UNRESISTABLE SPELLS ONLY. Lure spells are the only spells at the moment that you can really use on these guys.)

Hope this helps you folks some as the levels listed on this site are a bit off and this post's levels seem to be more accurate.

You will get the most drops in a zone group because the mobs you kill close to there are so low lvl that you can slaughter them very fast. 'a shadow' seem to drop the most good items in this zone so don't be fooled by their level and kill them if you see them.

Also for everyone else in this zone don't cherry pick your mobs and leave skels and golems for everyone else, its annoying; considering most people come to city of mist for trance sticks.

Do to popular demand (number of tells I'm getting in game) here are stats on the items:

Green Jade Broadsword: 11 dmg 25dly 8str 8sta 10svpoison 10svdisease war pal rng weight 1.2 1hs
Master Wu's Trance Stick: 7dmg 18dly eff smite (83 dmg dd) weight is 1.0 monk only 1hb.
Viik's Dark Defender: 7dmg 20dly 10ac warrior only weight 2.7 piercing weapon (both hands)
Obsidian ring of quintessence: 3ac 2int 10mana 0.1 weight all classes finger item.
Wu's quivering staff: 23dmg 28dly weight 9.0 monk only 2hb.
Sainy's claw: 6dmg 19dly 10ac 3int weight 1.4 bard only piercing weapon.
Wraith bone hammer: 8dmg 26dly 5str 2wis 2int weight 7.3 1hb (non pure caster classes).
Wintry club: 10dmg 30dly 38dd proc. weight 2, war rog rng mnk 1hb.
Kunzar Ku'juch: 8dmg 22dly proc engulfing darkness (snare&dot) weight 2.0 war only 1hs.
Runewood greatstaff: give it to a newbie, it sucks.
Not sure on stats for lost staff of the scorned, but it's so rare you'd maybe see one drop a month if killing goos constantly. It's a very nice wizard 1hb tho so don't discount hunting goos.

Edit: just gonna add some extra info since people will most likely read this post.

Spells ive seen drop here are:
Mage: Quiver of marr & bristlebanes bundle
Druid: spirit of scale, tunare's request(off reaver)
Necro: Splurt (off greater war boned)
Enchanter: Color slant
Wizard: Pillar of lightning
Sham: Spirit of scale

All dropped off 45ish goo except when listed.

Items I've got from soloing here for 5 weeks:
Kunzar Ku'juch x 2
Wraith bone hammer x 6
Obsidian ring of quintessence x 3
Green Jade broadsword x 1
Master Wu's Trance stick x 3
Viik's Dark Defender x 1
Wintry club x 1
Runewood greatstaff x 1
50+ kunark spells x 8
..and about 5k in plat.

On mob levels: Verant basically designed areas of this zone to accomodate the campers. Ent mobs and courtyard mobs are all lvl 32-40 and the 40s are very rare. parts of stables, goo house, and right corner temple are mostly lvl 38ish. Bottom of right corner temple, back of stables, city walls, and house opposite goo temple are mostly lvl 39-49ish mobs where lvl 50 people can hunt. And sky mobs (closer to neh'ashiir) are all 43-49 mobs.

With a little imagination you could duel and gravity flux up on to sky walk outside goo temple (big one that is transparant on north side of zone) and kill lvl 43-49 mobs all day long.

A Group of lvl 55ish guildmates could clean house frequently fluxing up to skywalk, call of hero, and doing neh'ashiir runs. I see a guild on my server that has done neh'ashiir about 10 times already this way. Thats pretty damn good considering they just bring 6-8 lvl 55-60 people and pick up an item worth 20k or 40k almost every time. Plus they got so good it only takes them an hour to dust off neh'ashiir from zoning in, plus they probably pick up guildmates a jade reaver every now and then for epic quests.

Bring everyone and your mother to city of mist, theres plenty of mobs; just gotta get creative.
Fun for all lvl 35-60s, just gotta know what to hunt. I get a blue bar (exp) move a little every single lvl 45ish mob I kill from sky mobs at lvl 55 so I know they are pretty good exp. Sure beats killing lame old frogs if you ask me.

A group of lvl 35s can get just as many items as a lvl 55 guy so don't be afraid to come here instead of camping boring old guk or solb.

-----------------------------------------
If any of you people have camped city of mist extensively (2+ weeks) please post your loot here so we can get a better idea of the drops per timeframe. I may have had better or worse luck than typical so don't just take my word for it.
Two weeks camping +
# Jul 01 2001 at 12:01 AM Rating: Default
I soloed in CoM for going on two weeks now.. I help the zone spawns, gate spawns, two spawns on left and two or right, as well as some courtyard spawns soloing all at once. And I have yet to see ONE rare drop. I came here 50th level necro halfway through, and now I'm level 51, almost one yellow in. Something must be wrong with this picture.. I have even tried grouping deeper inside, goos and stables, but have yet to see a drop. Oh well I'll take your word and stay, although getting quite fed up with the drop rate which I figure to be 1 in 300+, since I must have killed WELL over 300 mobs here soloing and grouped.

Folks the more people hang out in city of mist the more the good items will drop for the prices to go down. Sick of seeing that wu's trance stick up for trade only? come hunt in city of mist yourself and get one so you don't have to buy one. Then watch that guy lower his price and everyone else so that they become affordable.

It's sad when this weapon is more expensive than a knuckle duster even though a knuckle duster does more average damage in primary and secondary hand against all range of monsters.

And the more you people come to city of mist the more melee people will come and join you. They would already be here but no healer = no group for most melee.

Get on over to city of mist and let the hunt begin. (yep this is the gold rush approach =P) You get good exp here too. I went from 50 - 51 and 53-55 here, so I know it's good exp, but you can hunt here in a group from lvl 40+. I got my monk 2 trance sticks then traded one for a kd for his offhand and he kicks butt. I also traded a viik's dark defender I got for a howling harpoon for Mandicus. This is good stuff people, cmon down.
