Faydedar  

Dropped him today with my 53 ranger, 51 cleric and 2 mercs - cleric and tank. Very easy fight, could likely do it with cleric and ranger only. Defiant gear and threw all my veteran rewards on because I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Dropped Kavruul`s Mystic Pouch, McVaxius` Horn of War, Pod of Seawater, Sea Dragon Meat, Water Dragon Meat, Water Dragon Scales and 5 spells: Greater Vocoration (Air), Spiritual Strength, Banishment, Wind of Tashanian and Greater Vocoration: Water

Faction hits were:
Ring of Scale -500
Venril Sathir +25
League of Antonican Bards +125
Mayong Mistmoore +75

Killed the Druid epic version easily with 59 druid and warrior merc. Flees to the beach and up the ramp to the huts. Only dropped the Pod of Sea Water.

I have had my druid parked in TD for the last 9 days. Faydedar spawns in the southwest corner of the map by the underwater wizard spires. Fay has spawned every 25th hour for the first 7 days but on the 8th day Fay spawned on the 27th hour.

No longer cons as a raid encounter.

Molo'd this guy as a 66 Necro.

Killed a streamer before engaging, popped Wake the Dead and Swarm of Decay, resisted everything except Lifetap so I just chain tapped. Around 25% popped Lifeburn for 10k and the kill.

Found him in the south-east corner of the zone. Dropped a bunch of spells, 2x treasure hunters satchel, bracer, scale, pally book and pod of seawater.

Pretty trivial fight all in all with todays gear and AA's, ended it with about 50% mana and merc at about 60-70%.

Couple things of note ...

First, Faydedar is on a 11 hour and 15 minute spawn (as someone previously said). I tried killing Ulump to get Faydedar to spawn (multiple attempts), and I can tell you with all certainty that it doesn't work that way.

Second, you need to be ready for battle As Soon As you hand the Froglok Essence to Dolgin. I didn't realize that part and got my *** handed to me the first go round.

Third, as previously mentioned, have as many junk spells as you can on before you put your real stuff on. Same for your merc if you are using one. Faydedar dispelled me to my 12th spell consistantly.

Fourth, I was able to land Winged Death and Moonfire repeatedly upon Faydedar (there was some failure involved, but more hits than misses). Nothing else non-melee seemed to work, and definately not root or snare.

Fifth, I had to kill Faydedar three times before I could loot him. The first and second times I killed him, his corpse was underwater, *seemingly* inside one of the pillars of the pier. When I petitioned about this, I was told if it happened again, to petition under "Stuck" so that a GM could summon the body out. The third time I killed Faydedar, he went from the water to the walkway over the water. I have no idea how this happened. I was chasing him and fighting in the water and then he wasn't there. At first I thought he despawned (and was about ready to take an axe to my computer), but then I got the message that my merc had killed him. I looked everywhere and was all set to petition again, when I got the bright idea to go look on the walkway. Lo and behold, there his lil dead self was. Looking back, maybe the first two attempts he popped up there as well. I honestly don't know, but if you "lose" his corpse, it would definately be worth checking out the pier itself just to be sure.

Hope this is helpful,

Just took the regular version down 20 minutes ago on Drinal. Was roaming around the spires, found me before I found him, he was pretty easy lame for a 74 warrior. Fight took me a couple minutes because I had to chase him down in the water while he was fleeing. He dropped a bunch of spells, RBB, shield of white dragon and the torn frost book for the pally epic (still drops. Was fun to relive old adventures

as a 71 druid my spells wouldnt stick on faydedar i was summoned and nethier him or me moved so i was directly under him not a single spell would stick though...so i died.

Okay, been farming the crap out of Faydedar for awhile. The spawned version pops in the far southwest corner, around the old Firepot Gate room. And unlike the other dragons, he pops every 24-26 hours like clockwork. He's the best cash cow I have ever seen. He always drops enough vendor trash to pay for a gate pot, and sometimes the magic bags. I LUBS me some Faydedar!

I noticed that the 10 minute (raid) timer till resting has been removed. It is now the same as a normal mob.

I don't know exactly when this change was made, sometime during one of the April - June 2008 updates.

This morning a duo of a 71/200 ranger and a 56 druid bot took down the druid epic version rather easily.

Druid did turn in, Faydedar popped in lake and started making his way toward us. Ranger started firing arrows until he got closer. Then started melee. AoE fear hit, and ranger was sent toward the bridge to the bar, which turned out to be good. At that point I popped fearless on the ranger and started meleeing faydedar down. Druid never really did much but got hit by 500hp AoE a few times, and ran around alot feared. Ranger used one HoT pot over the whole fight.

When mob started to run, being that I was meleeing on the up-ramp of the bridge to the bar, he started heading toward the bar on the bridge. At the bar he turned around and headed back out on the bridge. So he never got close to the tunnel area. I tried to get snare to stick one or twice, but then just gave up on that.

So after one cup of coffee my druid bot has her epic 1.0.

Over all an easy quest, but very time consuming. I duo'd the quest from start to finish with ranger doing most of the work.
