spent 10 days in Cb with classic toons, in tower saw cent 500 times, Oracle 400 times, Emp Crush 300 times, The Prohpet 1 time, Ambassador Dviin 2 times in 10 days
Unless i'm mistaken, the oracle is the only PH for the Prophet.
Was there yesterday, showing my younger brother the ropes, D'vinn was up when we zoned. 18 Monk (His) and 18 Bard (Mine) Dispatched him with little difficulty.
Overall, we where there for 4 full spawn cycles, D'Vinn 1 additional time, prophet once, Crush every time.
Not sure if the spawn rate changed after the 90 Zone remap, maybe a patch somewhere fixed it.
One of the most feared foes of the old days. "Ambassador DVinn to zone!" was enough to get our newbie hearts a pumping. Also one of the classic underconns in EQ history. Another being Dorn in what was once North Ro.
16 iksar monk solo'd with skinspike/alacrity/temp/and the healing potion thing. Fairly easy, did him at Crush at the same time,with his royal guard too. d'vinn con'd yellow,crush dark blue and royal guard also dark blue. Fun fight, i remember not being able to take him on my 30 bard lol
I don't believe for a minute that D'Vinn is only lvl 18-22. That's ridiculous. But I will say that he is a relatively easy solo around level 30. When my pally was at 30 or so, I soloed him easily. No special strategy or anything.
I led a raid of 40 people on him. All were vl 70. This dude totaly kicked our asses. He rampages for 5000 and hits for 2000. WE thought since we were anguish flagged, we could finally beat him. I was hoping to drop him, we all were hoping for his rare Dark elf parts.
Am not sure if I missed something to good old Dvinn, but are you all sure you are posting on the correct NPC to lead a RAID of lvl 70 against him??? I once heard someone talking about starting a nuclear bomb to get rid of the mosquitos in his garden ....

I could see how with only a raid force of 40 you could have failed. Your best bet is to bring at least 60 people so that you can have 10 full groups of 6. When my guild did it, we had groups 1 through 6 devoted to Dvinn. Groups 7 though 9 were dedicated to the adds. And group 10 was composed entirely of Clerics. Their job was to constantly clicky rez everyone. Even still it was touch and go until the end. One of our rogues got some phenominally lucky backstabs and we just got him. ;)
As I understand, he isn't slowable either. The best bet is to get his magic resistance down. If you pull him to the zoneline, you have a greater chance of avoiding adds that could cause more problems.
Aye Agreed; but you need to remember to have the Druids and Rangers (Well maybe not the Rangers) Aggro Kit the Mobs next to the ZL or ya gonna wipe from colateral aggro.
Wow...it's been a long time since I've been to CB...I'm lvl 27, my primary is Crystaline spider fang, and my second is...well, go to http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1059695 the invitory is different now, but that's about it. I snuk up behind him while this lowlvl tried hurting him...i saw only 1% drop from DVinn's health before the dude zoned. so I come up behind him and hit my sneak attack then I backstabbed him. I admit, I got him good, but our guages both dropped the same, and eventually, i had to zone with one vs. two bubbles on the gauges. I forgot to look at all that happened in the chat window, so i dont know where anything went wrong. but tonight, im goin to Hollowshade Moor (a new exp hotzone) and when im 29 or 30...I'm gonna challenge him again...little ****** head...
A lvl 26 pally and a lvl 25 warrior (me)could both solo Crush, so we decided to try DVinn. The fight did not go so well We both attacked him, the pally got to about 20% life and backed off and let me take the beating. Even with the pally using lay hands and the warrior geting below 30% life we only got DVinn to about 50% life and ended up jumping out of the tower window to the zone.

You two must be a bit gimpy then. I solo'ed him easily with my lvl 28 beastlord. Quick hit of "Drowsy" and it was over. My warder and I tanked Dvinn and the Royal Guard at the same time. A few pet heals is all it took. Gotta love Spirit of the Blizzard.
I'll admit it like everyone else. I hate Ambassador D'vinn! I hate him in the morning on my way to work. I hate him in the evening when I'm coming home to play. But as a 25th Level Rogue he is everything I aspired to be when training in Crushbone. Two nights ago I went back to prove to my idol that he was obsolete and I could whoomp him. But silly me did not think "Hey mebbe their's a Fabled Ambassador D'vinn" a guildmate and I had swept the throne room and played whomp Emperor Crush a few times including Fabled (Boy some legends just aren't what their cracked up to be). Anyways the guildmate cleric had to leave but she buffed me up, healed me and tucked me into bed (yeh!). And as I'm sitting their waiting on my rendevous with good ole D'vinn I get popped for around 100 Damage. And as I'm standing with a fealing of WTF I turn to see Fabled D'vinn and his fist inbound to put a hurt on me again. Sadly I was only able to drop him 78% before finding the middle window of the tower WILL let a full grown Vah Shir out if he has enough reason. And busted out to the zone screaming for people to get out of my way. Well, I guess I got D'vinn as an idol again til level 35. But for damn sure today when server's come back online regular D'vinn and I are gonna have a ka-powy chat!
I had a beef with him also, but i was after the fabled version. He was dark blue to a lvl 35 ranger. I double teamed him with my brothers lvl 30 palidan. His pali used his lay on hands to keep me alive and dvinn then killed him for it. I did have my revenge for that. and was finally able to finish him off. We will meet again Mr. Ambassador.
For some reason, this guy cons apprehensive to me. I'm a Half-Elf Bard from Kelethin, and Dragoons are all scowling. I worship Veeshan. Anyone have any idea why I'm not KoS to him?
Just solo'd this guy with my 32 druid, super fast and easy, espically with getting the dagger. He hits, somtimes double, in the low 40's. Dunno what he backstabs for, I just rooted him a nuked away.
Loot wise, I got the dirk, but he also dropped Words of Quickening, has anyone seen him drop this before? Why isn't it listed?
This guy is IMPOSSIBLE to solo at lvl 32 with any class, since the recent fabled patch- he quads for 100- a hit, backstabs for almost 300 dmg, and I have over 800 AC, too!
lol I kicked his *** with my necro at level 25, a snare a fear and nuked the hell outta him, droped like a new dress on prom night. solod him again with my 35 ranger, lemme tell you something, if a 35 ranger can tank him to death, and self respecting caster can kill him much earlier.
he is not impossible with the right class a wizard could solo him a druid or a ranger if you root him and back off to nuke and don't turn your back away he will backstab that is true and a mage could also send pet out has to be earth though so it can root him tell him to back off then send fire air or water pet at him and whenever your pet dies just cast a new one has to be earth again andjust keep nukin
no, it is possible to solo at 32, if you would look at the dates on your guyses posts, you would see that tunaredefender had soloed before the 5th year anniversary took hold, and you posted right in the middle of it.
Come on, hes not as hard as you are making him out to be. Today I was soloing him with my level 19 halfling Cleric and I got him down to 41% Hp, before He killed me. Also when I started to fight him, half my mana was gone, and I was at 80% hp.
Wanted to see just how different it was between races. Went in last night with my 25 Barb Warrior, took him and crush out in about 5 min. Had Temp buffed with HP about 1625. Went back with my 28 Shaman Barb, took me down to about half life before I killed him and 2 legos. He con'd Dk Blue to my warrior and I believe it was light blue to my Shaman. No decent loot for the work.
Ok i know this is an ooooold post. Hell bro probly aint even in EQ anymore but if he is i would like him to answer where the difference in races was. Now I could understand if he put in 25 barb warrior then came back with a 25 Iksar warrior....but he said "Wanted to see just how different it was between races" and used same race for both toons....anyone else think this is kinda...uhh....yea.....
I was hunting Orc Legionaires in the heart of Crushbone today with my 15th level Barbarian Warrior in search of some Crushbone shoulder pads for a friend when I also locked horns with the Ambassador himself and, I must agree with the majority about the fact that Ambassador Dvinn is extremly lethal. My tale of woe began when I found a legionaire then pulled him to the entrance of Crushbone to finish him off. I had the orc down to 45% while I was holding my own at 95%, then from out of nowhere Dvinn appeared and quickly went to work on me as I watched my bubbles evaporate before me!! It took him eight swipes to finish me. After reading everbody else's postings about this menace, I felt I've undergone a right of passage. He's a good one to cut your teeth on!!
i'm a lvl 14 pally and there were two groups on dvinn at one time..it was messed people got low on health..turned to run and i'm pretty sure he backstabbedthemfor like 200..i unnoforsure..can someone verify that? but anyways..the groups were low lvl and we were already low on health so like 4 guys from one group and two from mine died..oh ya we also had a huge train of legionaire's on us..it was mad..though i did get EXP i didnt get as much as i thought i would..but ya..just thought i'd throw in my story...
my bard is lvl 15 atm i went in tr that easter sunday, he did not pop once i was there for like 4 hours so i thibk he went back to neriak to see the trolls and to see his family LOL
I took my lvl 20 monk there with some buffs to gater CB belts for a friend and saw Dvinn pop he conned yellow to me. I figured since I has Protection of the Glades (for total HP of about 950) I could easily take him but I got spanked and spanked FAST. He hits for 44-49 FAST too.... he had taken me down to 2 bulbs and I barely had him down 1 bulb... so with flight of the eagles I took off out the window and ran....
Hope this helps anyone

I came back at level 27 with my mage to wipe the floor of CB using guess what? Divinn's head of course. No really he LB to me and was really easy to kill. Really enjoyed the satisfaction of killing him mutlple times.
