My experience, for anyone trying to do the monk 1.0: After trying unsuccessfully to track down a fire imp or a fire sprite (there were none up at all, for over two hours), I changed tactics and moved to the druid circle, mass killing everything I saw. (Fire drakes, basilisks, spiders, etc.) Within 10 minutes I'd spawned four fire sprite and a dozen imps.
Me and a druid noticed something when i was up to trigger EEjag and that was A fire sprite is KoS to the fire elementals and had a fire imp as a ph He spawns just outside Najena Just some information to you monks who is up for the epic run
I tried to find this guys last night. spent about an hour looking for him. we had a druid friend there tracking the whole time and didn't show up on track. we were at the lava pit by sol temple entrance. does this guy have a place holder? is this the correct area to look for him? Does anyone know the spawn time? thanks for any info you can give.
I've seen them quite often by the entrance to Najena. Usually 1 or 2 over the span of an hour will float by. Easy for a 19 Mage and his Earth pet to take.
This little sucker has about 20-25 minute spawn timer for those of you who get irritated by that little 14 ******* cacking off the sprite right before you call eejag up.
Upon saying to him, 'I Challenge Eejag', he will spawn the level 55 Iksar Monk for the monk epic quest. This sprite was specifically implemented in the zone for the Eejag spawn, who appears at the bottom of the lava in the pit under the Soluseks.
These guys are blue and VERY rarely green to a L21.... they never seem to drop anything save for the very rare appearances of a Bloodstone.... oh, and unlike the imps, they appear to have no damage shield or fire attacks... they just melee. They seem to move slow too, but that could just be because they're bigger than imps and it looks that way. :)
Frankly, for trolls with their horridly low fire resist, they're much easier than imps cuz you don't get barbecued constantly. :)
The reason it doesn't drop good loot is because it's a quest NPC. You should know by now that NPCs that exist for turn-ins or triggered spawns drop little if any loot. This guy exists only for the purpose of trigerring Eejag to spawn for the monk epic (actually this guy IS in fact Eejag, he transforms to an iksar form upon challenging).
Killed about 15 last night, and several more the previous day. Every single one has been empty of loot. I'm wondering if maybe they occasionally rare-drop one of the new armor tinitng components.
Also, the sprites are about lv 15-16. I'm currently level 14, and have yet to see one lower than yellow.
