Thrackin Griften  

At level 63 (no AAs, mediocre/bad gear), I failed my first attempt to solo.

He resisted root once, then slow twice. I switched to chain-casting Arcane Rune as my health fell to 35%, but I had to Gate when I ran out of mana.

Went back with a druid partner and killed him easily (landing slow on the first try). With better luck & tactics I probably could have soloed him, but beware that it may be close at 63 and below.

Reading some of these posts saying how easy he is and how he doesn't resist and how easily he can be soloed and generally scoffing at those who try to warn others that this mob can be a challenge.

One of things I notice about these braggarts is that they're all in their mid-sixties. Well, duh! If you can't beat a level 55 Monk when your toon is level 64 or 65, you need to /log and /delete your character! (Yes, it bugs me when people belittle the difficulties experienced by others by saying how easy it all is.)

Go make a new Enchanter and start your epic at level 50, when you're supposed to. Then tell us all how easy he is.

I just did him at level 50. I did not solo him, per se. I used a tank Merc. And I also threw Shiny Bob (nickname for summoned Enchanter pet) into the mix for some extra DPS. It cost me quite a bit of plat, but it worked.

First I runed up myself and my tank merc, haste for Shiny Bob and tank, and Boon of the Garou on tank. I then medded to full. (You will need KEI for this fight. At level 50, your best mana regen is Clarity, and it won't be enough.)

I Tashed him, and let him take a swipe at me. My runes held, but that was all the provocation my pet needed. And Shiny Bob was on the job. Merc was already charging him before he even hit me. Knowing, after two tries and failures, that his resists are high (when you're a 50th level Enchanter), I simply spent the entire fight casting Runes on my Merc. For a while, it was a close fight, but eventually, my runes gave the tank merc the upper hand, and soon, Thrackin was staggering away.

Bob and Merc finished him off, and that was that. I probably used about 11 peridot. (I also threw on the Berserker rune for some added, no-cost protection.)

in WK

Spawned by handing a merchant named Chrislin Baker in (WK) a Quill and a Piece of Parchment. which u can buy both in POK.....................

I had trouble finding him at first with my chanty so i logged my ranger to track him down and finally found him. I took him down with my 65 shammy 5.3k hp and self buffed. He was a lot harder than i had imagined, resisted slow three times after malo. After slow stuck he was easy. Good luck !

Soloed at lvl 64.... yea, waited for a while to start epic. Trick is to buff up and get toys for pet. Thrackin is not magig res contrary to other posts I have seen. Tash, slow, cripple and a few dots to start. Keep casting Rune of Z on pet, throw in an occassional nuke, and you are good to go. I actually lost pet when he was at 7%. Ran and he dropped off, loaded horse, medded, new pet up w/ haste, then back at him. His regen rate is nada. After abt 2 min he was still at 7%. Hope this helps... save guildie faction for a group til later....

btw... droped fine steel "short" swords, not long swords

Helped a guildie take him out today. There were five in group, all over 65 (not 100% on all levels). Enchanter, Shaman, Ranger, Paladin, and a druid. We buffed and waited for spawn which was near the north bandit camp up in the mountains. As he walked away the ranger followed and pelted with arrows. We DoTed and hit him with everything we had. Easy kill for HL group. Did very minor damage to ranger and pally. He will summon you.

I was running through WK with my 22 ranger and picked him up on track. Just north of the farm. Location Neg 1546, Neg 5164. He was just standing around. He conned scowling or I would have snapped a pic lol.

Man you all had me freaked out... This guy is pathetic.... i used 65 warrior and 65 enchanter... warrior defenced and that was that... no healer... chanter side nuked... slow landed first shot. CAKE MOB-

Round 3:59- Paly, 62 - Enc, 57 - Dru spanked this bad boy but good. The toughest part of the fight was pealing him off the Enc for the tash pull and later slow. I placed all 3 char close around him so I could see who had aggroe, and eliminate the summoning that he does do. He does enrage, but just be ready and nuke his brains out when you see the message. For safety sake, slow him before he enrages, you don't want that and him at full speed.

Round 1: was a learning experience 62- Enc, 57 Dru. Pet died at 18%, He turned on Dru as he enraged and slow dropped, Enc could not cast he was so fast, total wipe.

Round 2: Dru did the turn in, got the expo and sash, yet no spawn. Wondering if Enc must do turn in. In any event the most efficient way was to bind on the hill toward Maligar, and gate in after the turn in.

soloed him today for a chanter friend. hes in a little bandit camp north of spinner a smith merchant, the loc is pretty accurate. took him down unbuffed and pet was unbuffed. though he was beatin on me easy pet had no problems. slow was resisted twice, got it once thats all i needed. just healed pet and watched. does summon. hits around 170s. does have a fair amount of hps. shouldnt need to many people for this one, healer and a tank thats about it.

Killed this guy last night...First I waited until 10pm game time, then cast see invis on myself and went to loc pos175 neg6700. Found Vilnius The Small (rogue epic Npc) standing there, mezzed him then cast DC. He was an awesome pet, he backstabs for 450 and hits for 150 pretty consistently, has an outrageous regen. Thracken was almost too easy, pulled with Tash and sent pet in. Thracken immediately was chasing me with my pet chasing and backstabbing him, in less than 10 secs my pet had him stopped and fighting toe to toe. I then stopped and cast slow, which stuck first try. Fight lasted less than 2 mins and pet never got below 80% health. So for those Enchanters like myself that solo a lot, you don't need any help at all with this guy, except of course for Vilnius The Small. God luck out there.
