Yvolcarn  

title says it all but i repeat immune to root and snare

Also drops words of Recall

I just killed this guy. I'm a lvl 51 druid...took me about 10 minute... just dotted and ran back and forth between where i pulled him and port in, easy! just have to run far enough away from him to keep redotting and be patient :) Dropped Drixie Remains...

Yvolcarn is one of those mobs who reminds you of just what "undercon" means. I have seen him slay level 65 melee classes on more than one occasion (due to ignorance and overconfidense on the part of the player). Be careful around him... especially if your faction is bad.

Being a warrior class mob, he dual wields and double attacks VERY RAPIDLY for roughly 140~ish dmg per hit... so in a "round" of battle, you can get hit for anything up to nearly 600 (total) by this guy. Yvolcarn has humbled many a high lvl player who made the mistake of saying "bah, he cons DB to me." The speed of his melee strikes makes one think that he must be hasted, but all wyverns simply hit very, very fast. Definitely not to be underestimated... which is why melee types do not typically hunt in Cobalt Scar... these mobs are best kited from a distance by casters.

He can not be snared or rooted, but can be slowed. He does not have any resistance to speak of against fire-based nukes, but is enormously resistant to cold-based ones (same as all wyverns). He can easily be outrun using Run 3 or a SOW or J-Boots or whatever.

NOTE: If you kill him, or assist in killing him, you will take a small (but significant) negative faction hit with CoV. Yvolcarn is one of only 3 mobs in Cobalt Scar who will give you such a negative hit for killing them. Normal wyverns and drakes will not... although they are on CoV faction, and will respond to your standing with CoV accordingly.

Regardless of your CoV faction standing, Yvolcarn will attack you if he sees you pulling any of his dragon kin. His aggro range is medium... call it 50 paces or so. Once he is on your ttrail, he will not stop until you, or he, is dead.

Wizards (who are often found quad kiting in Cobalt Scar) can dispatch of Yvolcarn efficiently by memming 2 stuns (Markar's Discord and such), and a big fat fire nuke (Sunstrike works wonderfully). Get a good running lead on him, and then stun, nuke, and run again until you have enough space to repeat the process. Not positive about his total HP's... my guess would be roughly 12K or so.

Again, it is best to simply avoid Yvolcarn and Azureake. Neither of them drop anything that is really noteworthy, but both can be quite a handfull to deal with, and both will hurt your CoV faction somewhat.

I just took down Yvolcarn a bit ago. I got to close to him, (unintentionally of course). I was feeling brave after just taking down Azureake so this 54 druid went for it. I had C3 and Hov. Used Form of the Howler and Levi. I used Winged Death, Breath of Ro and Drifting Death on him and snuck in a blast of scoriae. He hit me a bunch of times but I only got down to 50% life and I was able to heal myself. At 10% of life he took off down the cliff and I shot a lightening blast at him which finished him off. Not so bad after all. It took about 5 mins to kill him off. He dropped a gem, words, bixie remains and another item which I cannot recall right now and some pp. Hope this helps.

me (52nd halfing backstabber) and a 52nd De SK the sk darknessed him and we fear kited him. he's rather easy this way. We had several adds and we still did fine. He drops absolutely nothing and as we found is a waste of time because we could kill 3 normal Wyverns for the same amount of time and a lot more xp. so hope that helps.

did it with a 51 Druid with KEI the headest he hit is 146 he got me 3 or 4 time but np at all how you ask with sunbeam then just DOT was doing it for about 35 to 45 min's not sure on time and if you are go to kill him and you are a druid KEEP SOW ON or something like that not wolf form and when he is at about 10 to 30% of HP he will gate or pop to where he was when you started with him and when he is at 10% or less he will start to do the walk


PS sorry if anything is missed spelled

pss and he does not cast i know i don't like the one's that cast

Overal didn't even loot the Drixie Remains which we found out after the fact what it was for !

Anyway hope you all have good laught and don't mind my spelling, ... ho BTW have FUN ...

Posting in hopes it helps someone out. If you aggro Yvolcarn and don't intend on killing him, then try doing what I do, it may not be the best way, but it's worked ok so far. Pulled a wyvern and forgot to harmony yvolcarn once, so here he comes, I had lev on so I ran straight off cliff (not the side with othmir camps) and out over the water. While running with numberlock on I ooc that I had aggro yvolcarn and to watch out, then I evac'ed to clear the aggro. Doing it this way he is in ocean when you leave and will normally go back to spawn point when you port out. oocing that is aggro just lets peeps know to be extra careful for a bit in case he wanders. Then when I port back I go check if he has retuned and ooc again that he is back in place again and not roaming around being a pain.
hehe then I get a tell from a wiz thanking me for snaring those 4 mobs that he quaded while I had ported out and back in. hehe oh well at least some good came of it )
