a panther  

quote.

truthfully .. i dont think a 49 paladin could solo one of these. i am a twinked 45th ranger and i need to fear kite them to take them down. they hit pretty darn hard and very fast. Guildie is buying the black panther skins for 500pp each. time to make a monk. =)

end quote,

These guys are reported to be 33 to lv 37 so what gives with you 45 and 50+ having trouble? As far as them to be lb to you i think green would be more like it. Is the info here wrong? im a 41 wizard and have a monk i want to twink with the Black panther skin armor. should i even attempt to get the ingrediants?

Am 58 Druid & of course waste these easy. The Haze Panthers are a bit more difficult. Have also soloed these with my 47 Warrior. Pretty easy kills even with my warrior. But is a high argo zone & one needs to be careful or can & will get lots of ads. I can make This armor. If you're payin 5k for Leggs or other peices let me know LOL.., Have been sellin these on Karana server for around 2k. Skins go for around 300pp.

Am interested in feedback on what the black panther skins sell for. I know it will vary across the servers, but am mostly curious.

Better drop rate than Haze skins of course, and are used for tailoring Monk armor, and some nice armor t'boot. Fairly common drop off panthers in WL.

thanks for any feedback,

I encountered these for the first time when someone trained their quad to the skyshrine zone. My cleric partner and I were camping the raptors and the next thing we saw was black animals bouncing all over us.

I wouldnt say they are faster than SoW, but they are quick, and amazingly agile (ie they path well).

They hit on average in the 70s... occasional to 85-90. From the four kills we got two panther meat (baking), and thats it. Light blue to 48.

Do these drop the skins? And for the Black pantherskin armor, do you need a certain quality. Or is it like the lion pelts (HQ, LQ, MQ) and then a serparate one called skin?

I've spent a little time hunting these the last few days. I have a 50th wizard and I'm able to solo them easily: Root, Bonds of Force, 2 Ice Comets. (They have about 2100hps)

I also made a ranger and leveled him to 6th and bring him along to track for me. :) Works out great because he doesn't lose exp and I don't have to worry about recovering his corpse if his invis breaks at the wrong time...and he's bound in Kael so no biggie.

Anyway...seems that a good place to hunt them is approximately 400, -2400. Occasionally there is a human mercenary wandering around, but for the most part it's panthers.

These beasts are highly social and like all MOBs in WL will pile on quickly. Make sure you have a good look around before you pull one. As soon as you loot invis yourself. Additionally, their aggro range is fairly big, and sometimes they will charge you as soon as you begin to cast on them. (They seem to do this from further away than other MOBs.)

so to make monk armor do u need LQ MQ HQ or just regular old panther skins ? that is my question , cuz no where does it say what type of skin u need other than panther skin

think a lvl 49 pally can solo these?

They run with SoW as well.....dropped me, a lvl 43 enchanter, like a bad habit.

Do these have any faction connected to them? Druid in general?

These cats cast magic? Anyone have idea on if they have SoW, HP's, dmg per round? Also, do these kitties prowl around in any other zones? Thanks :)

These do drop black panther skins
