Nezekezena  

DEFINITELY sit here. Respawn is ~1 minute. Had my kill in no time.

Thank you for this I just ran around on my ranger and killed everything about 15 mins later I got it, ranger has that long rare bow makes these camps easy peasy.

Can Confirm this loc had 2 pop back to back although didn't get the drop yet. Sad I'm a sucker for epic 1's this has taken forever with all the camping and still not done

Under Nezekezenas Beastiary page, the October 2010 post by Dragoste of Spiritwalker mentioned that he Highsunned Neze back to Pos 2797 pos 1027. Yesterday I asked in guild for help and they came to help me kill for my 59 Mage on Vulakk’Aerr, Progression Server. I found the first and most posted about spawn point (neg 477, neg 2554) and found it camped (could see the corpse piles from quite a ways away. My group was still coming so I told them we would try this second point and see what we could get.

Neg 477, Neg 2554 is in the eastern side of Burning Woods, in the trees but right next to the Burned out area.

Pos 2797, Pos 1027 is found up towards the Skyfire zone line. On the EQAtlas map (http://www.eqmacwiki.com/eqatlas/burningwoodmap.html) You can see a path that looks like a “T” in the north. The far west point of the horizontal top of the “T” starts heading on a SE track and where it turns due east is the spawn point area. The spawn point is ON THE PATH.

During a 6 hour period, we got 3 Burning Embers, and about 6 Bard Guts, with several of those rotting. After I left, the one mage that had joined us late got his Embers within 30 mins. 4 embers, 6 guts in 6 hrs, 30 mins.

We set up and started pulling everything we found to hopefully find the PH that spawns at that point. After over 1 hour I was getting very concerned that maybe this was not a viable point when a skelly popped on the path very close to where I had parked my pet as marker of the approx spawn point. We killed it and kept pulling and almost 90 seconds later another skelly popped there. We killed it and I told everyone to stop pulling. Almost 80 seconds later, pop – PH. As of that point I told the group we are now changing our tactics to focus on that spawn. 15 minutes later – Phurzikon spawned. It was not Neze, but I knew Phurz could drop the Burning Embers too.

PH’s included Skeletons, Wasps, Giants, Gorillas, Wurms, Sarnaks, and either Phurzikon or Nezekezena. Timer was 82 seconds respawn. This location IS a viable second hunt spot. The tactics for getting the PH is exactly the same for both spots, requiring killing for a time until you get that PH to spawn at his point.

Some other details about this spawn area.

There are other spawn points near here. Several times we got spawns popping right on us as we circled the Neze/Phurz spawn point and thought maybe the point was in this area, not at that one point. This was pure speculation as the PH kept appearing on that point, even seconds after the other spawns popped on us. The same type of creatures spawned, notably Giants, Skeletons, Gorillas and Wurms. The timer on those was too random to even try to keep track and was very inconsistent.

More spawn points happened within eye-site of this point among the area NE to NW of this point. Also random and we did not waste energy trying to time any of them.

Like the eastern Neze point, this area is a pathing highway for mobs. They path through here from all points, to walking past us outside the camp site (again, we circled the point so outside is outside our circle), to pathing through an edge of our cirle to walking right through the center of our circle. Some times you do not need to pull – they can come to you.

Because of the pathing and popping in of random spawns, this camp is sometimes dead with no mobs to very dynamic. If your group cannot handle 3-7 mobs at once, have an evac/succor ready. If your focus is the Bard Epic drop, Mage epic drop or just XP’ing or hoping for a rare item drop from the Nameds, it is better to sacrifice the camp than your chars lives. You can always come back and likely get the PH very son after coming back.

Most in my group were 49-57 with me being 59. They were very pleased with the XP coming in, and several leveled during our session.
This location can be used for simple XP’ing also if you are ready to handle the Nameds too.

So there are 2 good places to do this hunt, both locations are viable.
