Reuk the Portal Tender  

Like basically every mob in SoD, the armor upgrade pieces are the rare drops. Killed him 6 times over a total of probably 8-10 hours camping him. Got 1 armor piece, 2 earrings, and 4 necklaces.

Its more like 16 minutes on the timer.. not 15.

Dropped for a guildie today

Appears to be a pet-less mage. He cast the following upon my warrior during one fight:

Mala
Burning Sand (Mage lvl 62, 980hp nuke)
Wrath of the Elements (Mage 55, 350hp nuke +132/tick dot for 5 ticks)
Shock of Steel (Mage 57, 1193hp nuke)

and the Big Kahuna:

Essence of Corruption, dot for 3280/tick, 5 ticks.
This landed on my warrior 3 times during the fight. May be irresistible, or maybe his 105 resist-corruption just isn't high enough. Saw no indication it's an ae spell, i.e. none of my other toons suffered from it. We fought him tight near the zone-in so if he had any range at all on this spell, and IF it was ae at least one of my other toons would have been damaged.

Must be a level 87 mage spell since PC mages can't cast it. ;)

Like with many caster mobs, he casts so much his melee is rather weak even though he can melee for 4k/swing. Frankly, I'd rather deal with 3280/tick dot damage than regular 4k per shot melee swings.

Wizard stun will interrupt his casting.

Three confirmed spawn spots: most common is goblin PHer directly in front of zone-in steps, on a ledge. Have seen him also spawn to the left, a short distance away next to a big rock, also a goblin PHer. Last time I killed him, out of 5, he spawned immediately to the left of the stairs. I'm guessing he can pop in place of any of the 4 goblin in the zone-in area. The only one I never saw spawn as named was the gob to the right of the stairs.

In 5 kills he dropped 3 ears and 2 necks.

This is an excellent camp. I recommend setting up in corner immediately to right of stairs. No spawn IN the corner. A guard does spawn right in front, close enough to aggro if you're not invis'd. Nothing in the zone-in area sees invis, including the named. Repop timer is exactly 15 minutes. You can clear 4 goblins and 4 guards and if that doesn't take 15 minutes send your puller up a tunnel to pull some more. If your group can handle Field of Scale comfortably, it should be fine here. Mobs hit about 25% harder. They do enrage and flurry so be prepared for some spike damage. I never saw any rampage. My cleric pretty much chained Devout Light, with supplemental healing from druid as needed. Named fight is actually EASIER than the trash, except it takes a little longer. This is because all the trash are warriors and they never suspend their melee to cast.

Only thing I wish I had tested was to see if any Cure Corruption type spell would remove that dot. But it wasn't serious enough problem that I cared.

Any questions on this camp feel free to /tell me on Saryrn.

Spawns near portal to/from Tosk. Drops the Hand/Wrist essence. Appears to be a wizard.

Also drops "Slaver's Lanyard" a Ranger/Monk/Berz/Rogue Neck item.
Can also drop the "wrist/hand" type item for the new armor combines.
This mob also has a nasty AE Dot @ 3k per tick iirc.
