an icy servant  

Browsing around SG, found two up. Have they been reintroduced? I have screenshots to prove date and of their existence....again.

Mob Graveyard for this one too. All elemental types were removed from zone during the revamp in early 2003.

Took a group to the well today and killed these for hours. Never got one aoe cast on me. Not nearly as hard as I heard they were, although they did have a nasty DS on them which was easily dispelled. Think they've been nerfed :)

Was in a castle group with a 59 war, 60 cleric w/ rez stick, 56 ench, 60 necro(me), 59 ranger, and a 60 monk. On the way there right after we dropped down about 4 of the little tunnel things on the way to the castle and we ran into one of these things. Tough little bish, lots of hp. I casted Funeral Pyre of Kelador on it, which is a dot for 2160 dmg, and just stood there and had a dummy right click buff of shrunken gobo earring on for AE dispells, and just casted Touch of Night(lifetap for 725 pts) every time I'd get hit by the AE, and I would be mana feeding the cleric for heals. Cleric had to rez the ranger and the chanter during the fight.

All in all, tough mob but can be handled pretty easily by a well organized group of 55+.

Well we fought one of these yesterday, so I can add my comments.
We were 4 at start, me 54 cleric, 55 war, 55 bard and 55 ranger. Started in fact really unprepared (no RC buff nor hp buffs), and didnt reallized it was that mob we pulled at first. War got rapped pretty quick as i ran out of mana trying to heal everyone, and finally bard managed to mez it to get us some rest (Btw very easily mezzed said the bard). So she kept the servant mezzed for approx. 40 mins, the time for me to regain mana and rez the war. On second attempt we didnt noticed the enthralled molkor on top of us, and it CH'ed the servant mid fight, so another mez to give us time to deal with the molkor. Finally got some reinforcement with a 54 shaman, malosi+turgur, buff to full with RC up, got hit for 500 pretty much all the time, except 2 AE for 10 and 130 (With 94 RC), but not so bad i only used word of vigor AE heal to keep everyone alive and the buggar went down swiftly.
So just be carefull about the surroundings, slow it and it should not be hard at all for a well rounded group.
Btw all we got for loot was a so ubber 8gp :)

Ok, a couple things on these. They do not, ever, drop a Seahorse Spine Bracelet. I have killed enough of these to give you nightmares and I guarantee you those only drop on the seahorses.
The Seahorses also drop the Ancient Seahorse Hide
cloak and the Ancient Fishing Pole (as well as scales and part of the Dragonbane quest).The Bracelet is amazing for bards AND Monks, and sells easily for 6K.

Icys rarely drop arm/leg quest gems. And commonly drop crap gems. Enthralled Critters always have 2 or 3 items, usually crap gems and jewelry, but often enough drop boot/hand/wrist/head gems. They also, of course, rarely drop netted kelp. Not TOO rarely tho, and a 3-4 hour hunting expedition of the Enthralleds can net 4-5 pieces.

SG is a fun, but dangerous zone. Small mistakes here = long CRs, cause there usually isn't anyone to help you out.

First off, you dont mess with icy servants without everyone in your group having 150+ cold resist or having multiple slaughter groups.

There are two different icy servants... most are level 51ish? The two that guard the shimmering sea serpent pool at the siren temple are lvl 54 / 55.

AE every 15 seconds or so, 500dmg with dispel (vox clone)... Doesn't really affect you if you have a crew that can resist or put the mob down very fast (5+ melee and a wizard or two)

They all hit pretty hard, approx 157s to 170s? /shrug I haven't messed with these guys too much. They drop the same stuff the seahorses drop, no kelp.

The walruses, manatees drop absolutely nothing and are better left alone. The Enthralled Bulthors, Moltors and Ulthorks drop 3+ gems everytime. Random chance to get very rare velious quest gem. Ive had Crushed Black marble and Crushed Flame emerald drop off one moltor before. Common gems are onyx, pearls, crushed nephrite, crushed chrisolite, and flawed emerald (velious quest gem). All other gems are random drops. They also drop Netted Kelp armor which is fairly good twink armor and great +int and +SV fire for the higher levels. Although having your CHA over 200 is a plus for all you chanters who wear this since it gives - in CHA. it gives +4 or higher stamina also depending on which piece. The Icy servants should really not be messed with unless you are on a guild raid with 2+ grps. It took them around 10 seconds to kick my 54 warriors *** with 1000 ac and 2500 hp unbuffed. but that was with 3 other icys and around 8 siren enticers. the icys hit me for max of 110 but extremely fast and that triple 500 AE every second or so from all 3 was hell. also the nukes from the sirens hurt. Dont expect to pull any of these Icy servants unless your expecting to get 8+ MoBs with it.

The horses are nice pulling if you have the melee power for them. Me and a 60 warrior did them and it took 5 mins per horse. although we I had 4200 hp buffed and she had 5010 and 1400 ac. they give good xp and the rare drop of that 20 ac cloak is worth it. I hope this clears stuff up on SG and it is a really great zone to hunt in with a grp.

Icy Servants are the toughest of the Ele mobs in SG

220-280 quads
upto 500 dmg AE + dispell top buff
25k hp.

Often come in pairs, with sirens, or with the lower watery servant versions. SG is not for the fainthearted.

Drops in here are random, we've had some nice things....
