Midnight Sea Mail Coat  

 

This the last piece I need my Paladin, and believe me it's a upgrade plus once I out grow it's still useful for events =)

People keep saysing to me " Looking Sharp Man! "

My cleric has all three pieces of this armor. The other night in unrest, a friend who has the cleric quest bp agreed to let me see what the cleric armor actually looks like on an erudite. I put on the bp, watching my ac to see the boost, and was surprised to see my ac actually went down. I switched the two out repeatedly to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me, and rechecked teh stats on the midnight coat vs cleric bp, to make sure there was no agility bonus involved (and no, i was not encumbered the time i was trying on the bp. I was when i got the full suit of cleric armor on tho). I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this effect. I know it sure struck me as odd, that a bp with 5 more ac on it, would lower my ac versus wearing the midnight sea mail coat.

my 40 cleric has not leveled in over 2 mos for camping this stupid tadploe. it is a running guild joke now. it never EVER drops. i have killed muggie over 100 times (AT LEAST) and have gotten every other item off of him around 3 or 4 times each. (sk helm, mage fpole, stein, nec robe, opals, lite heal potions, inviz potions, chitlin shield, enc lantern...) BUT NO TUNIC!!

i'm loosing my mind...

I was in the Warrens a few nights ago, and saw a ranger that had pulled the Muglwump to near the Paineel entrance. Both he and the Muglwump were gettng low on HP, and I did not want to see the ranger die after such a valiant effort. So, I took a chance and unleashed my most powerful spell unpon the creature. To my surprise, it was not resisted! As the spell hit, the beast fell, and the battered and bloody ranger looted his kill.

I asked him if the corpse held anything interesting for him, and he mentioned the tunic. My son Bejaizen, a 16th level paladin of Quellious, was camped just outside the entrance, a fact I mentioned to the ranger. He said that as a token for my help, my son could have the tunic, as its magical properties only allowed it to be worn by paladins and clerics of my race. I happily got my son, who now wears this fine tunic.

(OOC: A lucky happenstance, that's for sure. I'm glad there were no other Erudite clerics or paladins there that night, I've been hoping for the chance to get one of these for quite a while. Bej was wearing an etched iron breastplate, (AC 18, but weight 12.5,) so I must confess I was a little reluctant to give up the extra AC. But being an Erudite, he needs all the STR he can get. When you factor in the +3 to STR this gives, it's like having a BP that weighs 2.1! I decided to give the BP to my Barbarian warrior. I can't wait until I get Luclin (which I believe I'm getting as a Christmas present,) so I can see what this looks like with the new graphics. Now I've got to have him do the quests to get the rest of the ensemble.)

Note: At the time of this original post, Arjaizen was 22nd level, not the level indicated below - hence the surprise at Muggy's not resisting the spell. :-)

Passing through on my way to Stonebrunt yesterday and the Warrens were empty of players and the Muglwump was up, so I detoured and killed it. It had both the coat and the soiled evokers robe on it alone with a potion of light healing. Took the potion, let the others rot. Too bad there was nobody in the zone that could use them. I only kill things there if nobody of level is there. I think the King has a short life expectancy now that his throne room is a super highway to a midlevel zone.

I have now killed The Muglwump 23 times.

He has a varying spawn time from 90-150 mins as near as I can tell. No PHs.

I too have recieved every drop off Muggy many times. 6 potions of invisbility, 2 of light healing, 2 helms of ridossan, multiple fishing poles, steins, lanterns, shields, and some 10-20pp gems.

I'm starting to become very frustrated . . . =|

I like the idea of the items he drops being NO DROP, but if they're restricted to so very few races and classes why the rarity??

Back to the camp I go . . .

My alts have practically lived in the Warrens and have killed the big tadpole numerous times and this piece of armor has NEVER dropped.

Sheesh...maybe I'm just unlucky.

Holy...Wish my ole Sham could get her hands on this! 35th level, Bloodstained tunic, Bah. I like this thing. Probably looks cool too. Well, it not red is it?

He seems to drop this item like mad and it always rots even if you call it out to the zone. There were not erud clerics or paladins there once when I was camping mugwump.

He is still blue to a level 32 and i heard still drops the loot to a level 35 (must be high green then)

His hour and a half or so spawn time makes this a horrible mob to camp for xp though.

The things I've seen on him were this coat
(A LOT)

Some magician 2 int fishing pole
(again a lot)

An erud sk 7 ac or something helm with reclaim
energy (pet goes away and you get some mana back)
(seemed rare, this item would be nice for an erud sk to swap out to discharge pet as sks don't get the spell otherwise.)

He has a LOT of hit points for his level really but is not that hard since he is intent on mostly casting lil disease or poison spells all during the fight.

In a month or so when no one goes to this area now a group of level 24's or so could do all the named and what not in this zone and have some fun probably. In the meantime the gigantic spawn times and everyone checking camps to grab somethign as soon as it pops makes the area not very good.

If you are an erud pally or especially cleric and want this item I'd go there and hang out. Someone was always camping mugwump there when I was not or rechecking his spawn and this no drop tunic does rot a lot.
