an ashenbone drake
Undead
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
| Contents [hide] |
General Info
Ashenbone drakes are "belly caster" mobs, you have to be within melee attack range to land spells on them, except perhaps for unresistable spells. They are undead, and they are necromancers. They are noteworthy for the decrepit hide they drop, used in the Shadowknight Epic 1.0 quest, Innoruuk's Curse
Location
Like all mobs in Plane of Hate, these can spawn almost anywhere in their tier of the zone. These inhabit Tier 1 of Plane of Hate and can be static or roamers, indoors or out.
Encounter info
Melee info
They have a very small "hit box" so you have to be very close to attack or cast. They can quad but spend about half their time casting. They do not bash or kick or bite or any other melee attack but hit. They do not summon, enrage or rampage.
Spells / Abilities
As necromancers they cast spells like Venom of the Snake, Asystole, Invoke Fear, Scourge, Root and lifetaps. Although they are necromancers they do not seem to ever summon pets, as most pet class NPC in Plane of Hate do not summon pets.
Strategy
They cast spells a fair amount of time. Meleeing or using pets seems the best strategy against this particular mob unless you're well enough geared to stand toe to toe with it while you try to cast spells and hope to channel through the interruptions.

I was nervous about this one...
I got the port stone and went in to PoHate and buffed myself in there. I had Virt and Kei and then casted IVU on myself and went hunting for an Ashenbone drake. I soloed ONE drake and he droped the hide...so does this make me the luckiest SK on stromm?

Apologies for the necropost, but I think the answer to the parent question is most likely 'no.' I was there earlier today and probably killed 8 of these drakes, and three hides dropped, including on my first kill. To bad a Pally has no use for this.

Im one of those who camped old version of Hate for months straight. Camped in the SW corner and waited for other peeps to show up. Got on 17 pickup raids and no hide.
Concerning the revamped PoHate, imho the drop rate is the same, its just, instead of having just 4 drakes every 12 hours or so, you have limitless drakes randomly spawning everywhere minus one miniboss spot.
Ive matched my kills before the revamp and im still struggling to get a hide.
Sad note, 3 guild mates have a hide willing to MQ it for me. Problem is the npc will not take it from them. My guess is either faction or will not take items from a good race. Npc will spill out his quest text if hailed by them.

Having been on Hate raids with low 50s characters I always remembered these Drakes as being pretty tough, so I was somewhat surprised to discover that a level 61 Necro pet (admittedly with mage-summoned armor) can solo them! Took a long time, but the drakes cast so much that their melee DPS is minimal and the pet can lifetap much of it back... heck, my Necro can tank them himself with a lifetap DoT active.
Once I remembered the melee range casting thing they were even easier. Just pull them, send pet, run in to cast a lifetap DoT and FPoK, and either slow or don't bother, doesn't really make much difference!
Note, BTW, that they _are_ undead and not normal monsters.

Seems like you have to be in melee range to land any spells on these - except for unresistable spells such as malos.

Shouldn't be much of a problem after the revamp with a decent group, maybe mid-50s upwards. They do seem to resist pretty much everything that my level 52 Mage casts on them, though... not sure if they have insane resists or whether it's just level.
Getting into Hate used to require a raid as lots of mobs would aggro at the zone-in, but since the revamp the zone-in seems to be completely safe unless someone has deliberately pulled a mob there... just get a port up and start hunting. Not sure of the spawn points, but one was spawned about ten seconds walk from the zone-in last night.

I seriously believe that EQ customer service consist of one single person, and he has been on vacation for a few years now-LOL. But there has got to be a way to get them to up the drop rate to something reasonable. Im gonna try to get as many folks to /feedback this one, please take a sec to do it too. It is just too rare! I know its pretty hopeless, but Im gonna try.
Since the Planar revamps, I heard the hide no longer drops off the drake. I was on a Hate raid in Nov and we killed many (probably a dozen) trying to gte the hide to drop. Not only didn't the hide drop, but nothing was dropped at all--the corpse just vanished.
Anyone have any info?

A dozen? I know someone who, in the Kunark Era, killed these and these alone for 6 months... didn't get one... think about that... that's FRIGHTENING... so a dozen isn't likely, even after the revamp.
Edit:
Killed about 35 a few days back... NOTHING.

my first hate raid, all i really wanted was shield off this mob cuz i have read how rare it is to drop hell i had sold my DF armor pieces and decided not to do epic but this bad boy dropped off the 2nd drake we killed, and being only sk on raid i got it....guess it is back to ferrott for endless hours camping to get my DF back (being a smith am cheap)
does this ever drop! Finished my 34th Hate raid and no drake hide. This is getting to the point of not doing the quest.

You are so right. It sucks. It hurts so freaking bad. The hide never drops. I've been to Hate multiple times. It should be called the Plane of Frustration. Because thats all that **** hole is.
Never ceases to amaze me how those who use the most vile language and rant the most stay anonymous when they post.
I am a warrior who looted one of the Decrepid (sp) Hides on my very first plane raid yesterday. It was going to rot because noone knew what it was for. Being the kind of guy I am on unknown things I looted it with under a minute to rot time. Later when we hit the 2nd floor a raid member said a guildy of hers said it is for his SK epic. I said I would gladly help him out if I can.
I am now off to see IF this part can be MQ'd and if so, IF I am able too do so with my factions.

if you dont mind killing your Qeynos faction, you can do some killing in qeynos hills to get your Bloodsaber faction up. basically just killing the blue robed wizard at the guard tower in Qhills, the little armored guy deep in blacksburrow and the little monk guys at the tree in WK is the fastest way to get that faction up. then you can MQ the item with your friend.
Teydar(sp) can be pulled away from the bloodsabres then hailed to keep him in place. Will need to hand him the hide then get invis cast on you before you hit trade. Then SK hands in the other items. You hit trade he hits trade. Bingo Decrepit sheath. Now why couldn't you be on Terris Thule.

The turnin for this piece is in Qeynos Aquaducts FYI, so hope that bloodsabres facton is good.

Get used to it. I've been on about 30 hate raids, killing on average of 4-6 drakes per raid, and only seen 1 hide ever.
I'm still waiting.
I'm still waiting.
Is this on the second floor or just the first? I've only ever been to the first level.
They spawn all over Hate. I think a full repop yields about 12 of them. Best I have seen on 3 raids is about 5. We pulled all of them without moving to the second floor. Although I think 2 of them were pulled from the second floor.

Yea, big bottle neck, I've also been up to Hate and killed this guy numerous times, still no hide. I'm glad to see Verant did something about the cleric epic with Ragefire, now what about the SK's? A dozen hate raids and 50 drakes later still no hide, thats just not right :(
I've heard this is our bottleneck. One thing that I can say for sure is that I refuse to go on 25 5-hour raids for one piece of hide.

They drop shadowknight's weapons and shield. They have extremely high magic resist and must be melee to death.

I have a hammer of godsmashing as I call it aka the ashenbone hammer stats on it are 34 43 I am the only person to have one get a CoF or an RBB with it and you are a mega damage machine I am an ogre warrior I hit for roughly 120dmg per HIT with it =) arrrrrr it drops off innoruuk though not the drake =)
Anonymous
the ashenbone hammer has the greatest damage/delay ratio though it has no proc, just incase anyone cared
Anonymous
Drop Ashenbone Abassi, SK only one hand slash. Shares the same graphics as the Painbringer. Not the SK version of Ghoulbane as I and many others have orginally thought it was, no procs, just a damn nice damage vs delay, and some stat bump-ups.
The SK version of the ghoulbane would be the curupted ghoulbane no? that sword thats part of the SK epic quest.
