There is a whole key system to the lair of Najena.
Long drawn out way --- Various creatures and NPC's carry the keys to access other areas within the lair. I will use the keys to describe how to move through the zone. The ogre guards and Moosh carry a key ring, which will give you access to the prison cells. The first monster in the key sequence is Bonecracker. Bonecracker is an approximately level 25 undead froglok who lives in a room with two lovely dark elf necromancers. He gives you the dull bone key. The ogre captain must then be killed to get the shiny metal key. These first two keys are the only keys that aren't No Rent (i.e. they won't disappear when you log) so hang onto them. The shiny metal key is then used to open the cell outside of Rathyl's room. The dull bone key is then used to access Rathyl's area, where you can fight Rathyl. Note you need both keys to get to Rathyl. Killing him will give you access to the bloodstained key for Drelzna's room. Then you can access Drelzna's room, who is slightly higher level, and used to spawn the Journeyman Boots. Now you can get the golden crescent key from Drelzna will allow you to access the room with Najena herself.
OR:
Easy as pie way -- You can just do what I do .. and drop down into the prison cells from the trap floor on level 1, shrink yourself with a gnomish shrinking device, and then shimmy through the bars to get to Rathyl .. and therefore get the key to get to Drelzna.... lol
So what's the deal with the boots? Did they change everyone's or like the old school circlet of Shadow, if you were lucky enough to get the piece before the nerf, you get to keep the uber version?
I was hoping to get this item to sow my pet for pet pulls =/. Sometimes I get great groups that cast buffs on other members, but there are times where I'm grouped with people who send me out to pull without a single buff on my pet (the things I put up with for exp...)
I camped this witch for 20 hours before I finally got the boots. I was number 14 on the list when I got there and there were periods of up to 4 hours when Fabled didn't spawn at all. I hope they don't nerf these boots considering how long it takes to get a pair of them. Even if it is nerfed though it's nice because you can cast it on others unlike the original jboots.
There is word coming down from the test server that these are going to be nerfed. New effect will be Bootstrutter's Blessing. Which is self only and slower than GoD run speed. I'm not sure if this will effect boots that have already droped or something they will change quickly in the next few days for the future drops through the end of the week. Either way its something to consider before you subject yourself to a 24 hour camp, especially if your higher lvl. Another thing is, everything in Najena has a precise spawn timer, about 18.5 mins. Killing or not killing the necromancers that spawn next to Drelzna has no effect on her spawn time or whether or not she or her PH spawns. Lastly for the Fabeled camp regular Drelzna does spawn in addition to the Fabeled Drelzna and only the Fabeled Drelzna drops the boots.
She is now fabled Drelzna, hits for around 150's, HTs, & has bout 6k hps, not a bad fight for her lvl, I am thinking she can frenzy too, like all the fabled anniversary mobs seem to do now.... anyway, she now, & for only two weeks, drops insta click, castable on other players, Sow style Jboots, nodrop of course, she has a camp line of about 12 hours (if yer lucky) & I just advise, you watch this one )) I am gonna take my cleric for her tomorrow ))
Can a 36 mage solo this zone? Mabey with fire pet and chain casting? Or monster summoning 1? What is the best pet for a 36 mage here? I have my shovel, but none of the others. Ne info would ne nice! TY!
Ambushed this Dark Elf and her posse last night. 26 Cleric, 26 Chanter, 25 Warrior, 24 Ranger, 24 Nec on my team. With her three necs and their 3 pets, it was 5 on 7........good fight. With the new spell effects in one small room, it was like fighting in the middle of a fireworks display. Got a little out of control when Cleric aggroed two of the Necs. Chanter had to drop a mez bomb to cool things down (Mezmerized the whole room except Drelzna and our Nec), gave us a chance to quickly regroup, get aggro off the cleric. We all survived, many with less than 40% HP, with Cleric, Nec and Chanter OOM. The beauty of the 15-18 min respawn let us get her key, loot, heal, med, and be on our way even though we were licking our wounds at the end of this one. Best single firefight for a mid 20's team in this dungeon last night.
44mage with pet can solo her entire room, watch out when medding though, you can get aggro from underneath the floor. Drelsna has a PH so it may take 2 or 3 times of clearig the room. she pops in the middle with 2 necros beside her, one on each side.
Trying too get too Nej but Drelzna was not up went too the room and killed 3 necros and their pets but no Drelzna. Does she spawn or wonder around or what?
Killed my pet and me in about 4 seconds with 4 Harm Touches. Its not a proc, its a real HT. The key here would be to root her and nuke her a few times. I took her down to about 20% life with a singe Blaze before she unleased a ridiculous double hit harm touch for 251 each. Don't take her lightly based on her level.
Wait a minute. HT is once every 24 hours so how could she HT you 4 times during the same fight? She must have been casting something or using a weapon with an effect that only seemed like HT.
____________________________
If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?
Harm Touch is a Shadow Knight ability that is usable every 72 minutes (more often at higher levels?). Both players and NPCs are bound by this rule, but Drelzna is an exception.
Just a side note, there are some HT mobs that get bugged, and their HT timer resets instantly. I've whitnessed the horse in LFay HT players repearedly, back to back to back. The GM's had to kill it.
So it's possible. Unlikely though.
heh Imagine if it ever happened to a player. I'd never log off it if did.
