As a 61 BST, I would have had no problem takeing these out, they con LB to me, but I had a friend 57 ROG and a 50'ish BRD friend of hers stoped by as well, good XP for them, ok AA for me. Sole purpose was shard hunting, took about an hour and small change for 1st one to drop, then 2 more droped in the next 15 min for the others. Picked up a Smitter's Girdle and a Sun Chalis for loot, should make make for ok tribute points when I turn them in to tribute master. We cleard the ruins at the top of the mesa in no time, pulled 2 and 3 at a time. Next one I go for will be in The Grey. Having a real hard time with getting shard in Sanctus Seru, with help I have cleard the 2nd floor several times already, and still no shard. Needless to say, I'm KOS there no question. I've been told just recently that I have a better chance of getting same shard in Katta Castellum off the Centurions, we'll see. If it dosen't take long, mabey I won't ruin my faction to bad there, after all, I have dispatched many, many SS Hands, and Legonares, they act as if I was their best friend over there in Katta. I'll jump on that after the Grey.

Tracked and killed a Mummified Sun Revenant..looted Ancient Wrappings (not a bandage)

This creature also drops Nardoo. A leaf used in Advanced Poison Making. I've submitted the info.

mental burn

From eqtraders.

these are *not* common... a friend and I killed these for several hours, on the platform, and on the ground... we killed over a 100+ rev's before we saw one drop.... VT key quest sucks ;p

oh, and these sun rev's can't be assassinated, which means they must be 49+... cons green to a 65 tho... my 2 cp

Very easy for necros 52+ to clear out the high plateau of revenants and reavers, first be ready for alot of resists, second pull with shackle of spirit run back to pet fd then dark then fear keep them both stuck and ur set with an occassional decent drop from a named happy hunting

There are two varieties of Sun Revenants. The first variety is found around the ruined camps scattered around the zone. They tend to be levels 39 to 42 (and hit for around 100). The second variety is on the plateau, and tends to be levels 42 to 45 (and hit for a little under 120).

They're quite fire resistant, so stick with Ice, Magic, or Undead nukes.

And yes, a Mage can solo the plateau at 49. I've seen it done.

I tested my hand against a Sun Revenant which was in a camp just north of the zone to Twilight Sea. After reading other reports on this page, I'm wondering if their levels may vary a bit. Anyhow, here's the facts from my first encounter with a Sun Revenant:

He is undead - Instrument of Nife went off a few times during the fight

He was dark blue and scowling to my 51 paladin before taking any faction hits

His hardest hit was 93, but he didn't reach it often

His slaying worsened my faction with Minions of the Sunlord

He did not cast, but did have a diseased-based battle proc called Sun Revenant's Curse

His proc was resisted quite often with my disease resist in the 30s; using the buff Resist Disease helped even more

Here are the details of the battle proc, Sun Revenant's Curse:

Description:
1: Moderate to Resist (3)
2: DoT for 264 Hit Points (HP) in 11 ticks
3: Decrease Current Hitpoints by 40 (L1)

Details:
Casting Time: 3.00 seconds
Recast Time: 0 seconds
Skill: Instantaneous
Allowed Targets: All
Duration: 11 ticks (1.1 minutes)
Resist: Disease +15
Range to target: 200

theres a camp north of the zone area with a 3 spawn, about 65% dark blue and 35% light blue spawn here, the darks are easy solo for a 54 pally.

i was thinkin of headin there and killing a few....any ideas on apporx hps they carry...i had somone tell me around 3k (2800 to be presice)

I killed a few of these last night. They were casters which tried to dot me and blasted me a few times. THe DD's spells they have hit me for minimal dmg and none of the Dot's landed. I'm a 51 druid. They went down rather easy with a couple of dots and 2 DD's. They dropped 5pp or less for me. On a side note, they do look rather cool.

Killing these lowers Minions of the Sunlord faction.
