Guardian Kozzalym  

if you are having trouble finding this guy, check the water along the NW side of the zone, i found him underwater just pathing around. he stopped outside of the zone boundary (inaccessible to PCs) and I could not target him until he moved back inside the zone perimeter.

I now appears that the banished efreeti kills Kozz. I had been killing the efreeti for alt access flags and he spawned and stayed up. Other times I was in the zone he was only up for a little bit, and I know no one was in zone with me before he despawned/died.

After a week of looking for him (after 2 chances of his 3-day spawn)I finally found him. He was wandering north, a bit NW of the Necropolis zone in. I pulled with my reverse DS and immedately went for the water to avoid adds. Fought him on shore with my 68 hammer and yalup VII, nuked several times, healed myself 2-3 times. Only took about 3k mana total.

Pretty fun and not that difficult. Now my level 50 monk has a nice new shoulder item. The turn in gives 56ish plat and some change, and about 2 blues of XP at 50.

Guardian Kozzalym patrols from the NE corner near Dragon Sage and wyvern caves, about halfway south through the zone, then cuts west, walks into the water, where he isn't visible, but CAN aggro on you, then goes north/northeast till he hits the north shore, and walks east back to the NE corner.

Basically, he patrols clockwise and does not despawn or get killed by anything that is along his pathing. The reason people are getting the "You have lost your target" message is because you can only track an NPC for so long without refreshing the track. Any person with tracking should know this.

Claws of Veeshan assist him... or atleast they did when I tried him... maybe because they BARELY like me enough to not beat me up, so he isn't as easy as everyone has made him out to be. He himself is pretty easy, but the 2 cragwyrms and named dragon that might aggro along with him aren't!

This guy is soloable by some classes, but for you druids out there I give warning. He runs at soe speed (or close to it) cannot be rooted or snared. A velium hound with two complete heals can take him, but unless you have dire charm, expect to die. Once charm breaks you get eaten fast because you have no time to re-charm between summons and being beaten on. Fair warning as clerics are hard to come by in WW at night lol.

I followed this guy around the zone a couple times trying to get a couple people to help take him out. He followed a strange zig-zag path. I found him in the extreme NW corner of the zone. from there he headed almost straight east. After about half the zone he stopped for a minute then turned south to the ToV scar. Once he got there he turned back west again and followed the rim of the scar all the way around to the other side.

On the "south side" of the ToV scar he followed the lower rim all the way to (and a little past) the opening to the scar. Here he turned around and basically went west again right between the scars to the ocean. Then, in true head-scratching fashion, Guardian jumped into the water and headed due west and out of targeting range at the edge of the zone underwater. After about 15 minutes he started working his way (underwater) back up to the original spot that I found him in the NW corner of zone.

So the short of it is this: if you are trying to track him, run the coast from SG to the far NW corner. Cut south right down the center of zone and head for a nice cushy centrally-located tracking spot on the southern rim of the ToV scar. Good luck :-)

Firstly: Dragon slayers are your friend
Secondly: Charm a slayer on him, go afk, he will keep attacking until dead.. Rinse repeat till dead

Used a mastadon at 5% to kill him when he killed the wizard

I have been hunting WW for a few weeks and see him most often sailing along between DN and the Western shore, fairly close to SG zone at times. He does, indeed, seem to "wink out" from time to time and reappear, but I think he goes under the zone, since I always have SoE or Mask of the Stalker up, both have see inviso.

I soloed him finally after two aborted attempts (read dragons assisting him) with a DC bronto. He doesn't cast or dispell but does summon. An easy fight with pet as tank, just keep the pet healed and throw dots on the guardian.

He dropped the ore and 70pp and change. No faction hit.

Killed him today, im a 63 druid, and i charmed a direwolf, speeded it and sick it on him, had my lvl 35 ranger camped there to loot the stuff :) Dident give much exp :) Had around 20k hp

On server repop the other nite, after Druzzil Ro came down for the 4th time in 2 days, I decided to check and see if Kozzalym was up. My ranger was parked at the entrance to ToV. I logged on and was the first person in zone. I checked track and there he was. Guardian Kozzalym was south of the entrance to ToV. I was very happy, being the only person in zone and because i hadn't seen Kozzalym up in months. I, too, need just this piece for the shoulders. Well my joy was short lived because about 1-2mins from first seeing Kozzalym on track, I lost my target. I checked track again and he was no where to be found. I was still the only person in zone at the time. I searched the entire zone and still no luck. Kozzalym is spawning, but must be kos to other NPC's in zone and is probably getting kacked by NPCs before players are getting to do so. A friend also said she experienced the same when she saw Kozzalym on track in the southern part of the zone near SG. One moment she had Kozzalym on track. The next moment ......poof!! So, I am figuring either you get lucky and engage Kozzalym without any CoV faction NPC's near by, or wait for SOE to fix this faction problem.

Just killed Kozz down by the dead dragons on the west coast. Got my ore finally. Luclin server works.

I recently got Yael myself. I also couldn't find the Guardian, so I came here to find out what the spawn time was. When I read these posts about him being broken, I logged back in and petitioned to find out if there was a known issue with the spawn. A "Guide" answered me and told me there was no issue, and that he was spawning regularly. I think he's full of crap, and we'll see this issue in a patch message soon. But maybe, the Guardian is spawning, but something else broke that causes him to be consumed by other mobs in the zone. They are on different factions I believe... Just a thought. Good luck.
