Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / October 2003Dark Masters in UP
These bad boys drop plate look legs that a ranger can wear, a commodity that seems to have gone the way of the dodo since PoP (though those yummy legs from Maestro are an exception...if I had a chance in hell of ever seeing them :P ). So...a couple of questions. 1. I've heard that the drop rate of items on Dark Masters is pretty slim. Truth? 2. What is their respawn time? 3. I know that killing these blokes while they are chanting will spawn Doomshade. As such, will killing them for their own sake when they are not chanting earn me the deathly ire of every guild currently engaging Doomshade? Will I be "resetting" him somehow? Thanks in advance for any info you share. ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Veteran Foxeye Vaeltaja Misinformation Queen and 65 Half-Elven Forest Stalker of Xev Guild Leader of The Luggage "I was just saying that basically if I tried to tell everyone a tree is a tree while they think it's a vegetable then they're going to think I'm a fruit." - Zardak Zephiroth, Forest Stalker Brother on Xev > These bad boys drop plate look legs that a ranger can wear, a commodity > that seems to have gone the way of the dodo since PoP (though those yummy [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 1.

I seem to remember averaging about 1 item per 4 Dark Masters, back when we were doing Doomshade. Usually it wasn't a good item, but it was an item. > 2. What is their respawn time? 20 minutes? > 3. I know that killing these blokes while they are chanting will spawn > Doomshade. Only if you kill all 4, and get the 4'th dead before the first respawns. Would have to be a uber group to get that done, considering the amount of other mobs you also have to deal with to get the masters to a semi-safe place to kill. >As such, will killing them for their own sake when they are > not chanting earn me the deathly ire of every guild currently engaging > Doomshade? Will I be "resetting" him somehow? If they are chanting (they don't do it constantly, only once every couple hours) then you will spawn Doomshade if they all die, and the spawn will be lost for 3 days. If they are not chanting, killing them (even all 4 dead at once) does nothing. > Thanks in advance for any info you share. ^_^  SignatureDearic - Level 65 Overlord on E'ci Talynne - Level 58 Blackguard on E'ci >These bad boys drop plate look legs that a ranger can wear, a commodity >that seems to have gone the way of the dodo since PoP (though those yummy [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >1.

My old guild used to farm Doomshade and would see three or four usable armour drops per clearing of ALL types: ThePinkHelm(tm), Moktor, DM etc. Only pair of Greaves I saw drop went to a Bard. Grrr. Immune to root/snare/slow, tons of HPs, damage shield, summon. Not efficient xp mobs that's for sure. [*] [*] I might be confused here - it's been a while and we always had at least 30 people whacking away so they died quickly no matter what.

[*] The cool thing about them not being slowable, though, means everyone can start off the battle by casting dispel magic on the mob...who cares that you'll dispel slow, cuz it ain't there! :D It doesn't sound like they hit *hard* though...they just aren't slowable. Which does rattle me a little about my ability to taunt them, but my husband crunched numbers based on things he's read on line, and assures me that if he keeps Q on me constantly and we have a cleric, I can tank in a pinch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Veteran Foxeye Vaeltaja Misinformation Queen and 65 Half-Elven Forest Stalker of Xev Guild Leader of The Luggage "I was just saying that basically if I tried to tell everyone a tree is a tree while they think it's a vegetable then they're going to think I'm a fruit." - Zardak Zephiroth, Forest Stalker Brother on Xev |
