Lodizal  

Going to try to do him on the Torvonnilous server. Never seen him on track with my 38 ranger. But I guess we'll have to do something to kill time... I'm going to try him with this group. 65ranger, 63rogue, 55druid, 50shammy, and a 40 druid.. Think we can take him? I will be on my 40 druid for healing. And probably try to nuke some after we get it slowed...
I think we can take him out no problem.
How about you? Tell me what you think please.

Tazain Blackmontain <Ring of Faith> Ranger of Tunre

whats the lowest level you can be in a raid agaist him?

What is the location where Lodi spawns?

Yeah we all have the same problem with CiH...They pretty much do as they please...

I will say that I got invited to a Gore raid the other night, and after the 2rd wipe...

TWO mag's from CiH came in and nuked Gore DOWN...

Then to the surprise of everyone they gave all the loot to the Raid Leader to pass on to the peeps waiting for the 3th try at him...

I'm just curious, can a level 60 necro, along with Emisary of Thule, solo this turtle? I'm tempted to try, but I didn't want to find out the hard way.

I also heard that he cannot be snared or rooted - can someone verify this? If so, fear kiting with darkness might be out of the question.

I have been there camping him 2 times now just so I can get my monk the map piece and a friend the shield. Both times I've been KSed and the GMs do nothing about it. You can take Lodi down with ease as long as you have a descent Tank and Cleric .... don't even need a slower but hard to Kill you when whole guilds come and just take him from you and the GMs had evidence of KSing but thier policy was if they already looted it then they can't do nothing for you ... which promotes KSing so from now on if someone is killing something I want i WILL KS thanks to the GMs who helped :( just 16 hours wasted ... Staring at the water

Killed him last night. Dropped 3 spells (Ice Spear, 2 copies of Spiritual something, Purity I think), 2 shells, a ring, map, and a club.

My guild has killed him all this week (got the shield, yay!) and he has never dropped any spells. Shell pieces, boots, belts, rings, map pieces and clubs but no spells. I know he used to drop them (got a few myself a few months ago) but no longer it appears.

Any chance a 52 necro could solo him? or would a 55druid 59mage 60chanter and 52 necro have a better chance?



Ibar 52 Necro

Cazic-Thule server

I should have posted this back in June when I figured it out but guilds were farming Lodizal to sell the drops. I thought that sucked so I wasn't going to help them out.
From my own experience I can tell you for a CERTAINTY that Lodizal's spawn time is now 11-14 hours. I have seen him spawn at exactly 11 hours and exactly at 14 hours (when I got my last map piece). I have also seen him spawn in between 11&14 hours. A fairly recent patch (6/5/02, I think) changed the spawn times on a lot of creatures. Lodizal (and Stormfeather, see below) were 2 of them.

The above information is absolutly certain. The following I'm just pretty sure of: Lodizal and Stormfeather are somehow linked. Either one or the other will pop, or maybe both, or neither (A binary roll of the dice). And the neither option may not apply because in the short time that I figured this out and I got him either Lod or SF popped at the correct time. Spawn times are the same for both. I camped Stormfeather before the 'spawn time change' patch and went through the old '18-19 hour skips-a-lot' spawns.

Check the posts since 6/5/02 and my information fits right in.

Good Hunting :)

Killed Lodizal tonight on Morrell Thule - 9/10/02. He dropped Belt of the Great Turtle, Fourth Part of An Iceclad Map <For Eyepatch of Plunder Quest> A Lodizal Shell .. i think it was.. and Lodizal Shell Boots. Not bad was very fun! Good luck to all taking him, tip is to be patient, it was about 4-5 hour wait after 18 hours. Tip is get to know your guildmates) And if you do....Kill some gnolls.)! G'Luck!

Here is the text from my log on the lost pirate. He is kinda picky on some steps with how u word things so I would suggest u use the wording below that I know worked for me:

You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'

You say, 'i am lost'
(no response from him)

You say, 'what map?'
a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.

You say, 'where gone'
a lost pirate says 'Aye. I lost the first part walkin' through the woods. Some big wolf bowled me over 'n started to tear me book up. 'Fore I could stop, it he ran off. I'm not knowin' why. The second part, heh. That was worse.'

(I never asked him about the first part of the map)

You say, 'where second part'
a lost pirate shivers. 'The second piece I lost, well, that put the fear o' Bertox in me. I was still in the woods at the time. It was at night. Cold and crisp, it was. I heard a flappin' and squawkin' above me and I knew my time was near. So I up and jumped into a snow drift. Soon as that, somethin' swooped down where I was and started tearin' my camp up. When I came back, I saw nothin' but feathers and me torn up book. Another quarter o' me book was gone.'

You say, 'where third part'
a lost pirate says 'Huh? Oh, the other pieces? I gave a piece to a mate o' mine 'cause he wanted to help. Nice enough fella but he couldn't find north from a hole in the hull. Last I saw he wandered off towards the bridge. The last piece went away after I stumbled and fell down here. After a while I didn't care, so I threw it in the water. It floated off. Seems like everythin' that goes wrong ta me is because of some danged wild animal. I can't quite figger it.'

You say, 'what is chapter P'
a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'

You say, 'i want to find the parts'
a lost pirate laughs. 'Its yer funeral, boyo. I'm not even sure they're readable. Oh, well. Here, take this. It's the cover of the book I was puttin' the map in. If ya get the first four parts, put em in there. If ya get the fifth, just go give it ta Ami the way ya find it. Hey, if ya find em all, come get me so I can find me way back. I'm thinkin' I'd like ta go back now.'

(the lost pirate gives u a 4-slot combine container)
(put your 4 map pieces in it and hit combine)

You have fashioned the items together to create something new!

You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'

(I turned in the *combined* container to him)
(He gives u a completed map back in return)

a lost pirate grins widely and slaps you on the arm. 'Har har! You're crazier than I am. And since I know that I must not be that crazy after all. Ahh, I haven't felt this good in ages..' He shuffles the pieces and jots down a few notes here and there. 'There, now it's really finished. Let's get us outta here. Hold this fer me.' As he starts to try and crawl up the hill, a sleek figure darts towards him.

You gain experience!!
(immediately a Rabid cougar spawns on top of the lost pirate and attacks u--he didnt drop any loot)
Rabid snow cougar claws YOU for 74 points of damage.

Turn the completed map into Captain Nalot and he gives u the eyepatch--grats!
