Arena Champion  

Not sure if anyone still cares about this zone, but in the interest of poking around Luclin with a new character I went to the arena to play with factions here. Having only hunted in Kunark my Sanctus Seru factions are mostly Indifferent to Glowering as a 56th wood elf ranger.

Did the arena quest 10 times, I jumped up a faction to amiable! Nice. :) All fights were green cons, even the Arena Tiger.

This is a faction quest. At high charisma the ticket only costs 31pp but Ferin only carries 30 tickets. Once they are gone, they are gone until the zone is reset. The mob can be an arena tiger, an arena wolf, or a lightcrawler and their levels are not dependant upon the level of the person who turns in the ticket.

31pp per ticket might seem pricey but remember that many mobs in this zone drop 30+ platinum when killed. The amount of money you earn by turning the medal in is random.

Did this quest today with my 50 cleric, wasn't too hard, only had Temp and 10% spell haste on. A dark blue Arena Tiger spawned- I rooted and nuked, when root broke I tanked it until I could reroot, rinse and repeat. Wasn't hard at all, with KEI it'd be a cinch, and the faction is really good. If it'd been yellow, I'd've rooted and gated.

Seems kinda lame to charge you more plat to do the quest then you get?

Level 39, almost 40, ranger here did this quest twice over the past 3 days on the Stromm server. The Arena Ticket cost me 32p (equipped with 2 opal encrusted steins). As soon as I handed it in to the Arena Master a scaled wolf spawned in the arena. It conned deep dark blue and since I had begged a Temp and gotten some other buffs before, I wasn't too worried. Well that little wolf almost beat me, at one point it was at 20% while I was fast slipping below 15% health. Then a few lucky double attacks later, i was ahead and had it beaten with me at 11% and totally oom. I didn't keep track of the xp, but I'm guessing at half a blue bubble at 39. I looted the Arena Medal and upon returning it to the Arena Master I got back 19p and a boatload of faction from the usual Seru crowd, plus 1 negative hit from Katta citizens as usual.
Then I called some guildies who wanted a go at it. A level 49 cleric gave it a try, he spawned anothe scaled wolf that con'd yellow to me (39) and blue to him. He made the mistake of leaving the pvp area for a second and was attacked by one of the librarians. The Arena Master warns you about this, so listen to what the NPC's say and follow their instructions. There were about 4 of us in the arena and we all took shots at the wolf and the librarian. Thankfully no other guards joined in. I'm a real suck for faction so I didn't hit the librarian, only the wolf. After they were both dead, the pally looted the Arena Medal and handed it in for some plat and faction.
I had another shot at it alone 2 days later. This time I spawned an Arena Tiger, eek, it con'd yellow "wipe the floor with me" !!! And it did just that. It was immune to changes in it's movement speed, could not be feared, double hit me for 50 - 70 pts damage and was very hard for me to hit at all. The last thing I saw before the lights went out was the tiger at 68%. That's after using all my puny ranger nukes and dots on it. 10 seconds into the fight, I knew I was a goner.
The next time I visit this arena, I'll be bringing some friends, just in case. It does seem that the arena spawn is geared to the level of the person handing in the ticket, maybe with different tactics (I really am a newbie) it could have been taken by a 39 ranger, but not by this one this time. Also, maybe a level 1 could hand in the ticket, have a higher level kill the spawn, then level 1 loots the medal? Just make sure level 1 stays inside the pvp area, even if cowering in a corner. Not sure if the spawn will only aggro on who hands in the ticket?
A nice bit of role-playing fun. I was a crowd pleaser twice, once for winning and one for losing, lol.

can anyone at any lvl do this or no

Okay the Sanctus Seru Arena Medal, every time you turn it in you get a different amount of coin. And each time you do it the spawn is different. the reason he is unfearable cause if he leaves the arena BOOM everyone in Sanctus Seru is on YOUR **** for cheating. I have spawned a Lightcrawler, an Arena Tiger, and an Arena Wolf. There are probably more, all of em posed no problem to a 60 ranger but meh.

The latest publish repaired this little dwarven fellow. He no longer attacks you UNLESS your faction is bad with him (he is amiable to me, so I believe he is on Shoulder or Head of Seru Faction).

There is an added danger here, I narrowly defeated my opponent. While I was looting, the next opponent turned in his ticket. I was killed and GM's would not rez. I had to inconvenience my guildmates.

My level 34 warrior buddy decided he wanted to try this quest, so myself (30 druid), the warrior and a 30 wizzy took the trip there to see what the fuss was about.
After paying about 40pp for his ticket, and giving the ticket back to the merchant, a lightcrawler spawned in the arena. The crawler was red to my warrior friend, so the idea was for me to heal him and for the wizzy to DS and to nuke if needed.
Long story short, that lightcrawler was BAD. He resisted all wizzy's nukes, and tore my warrior friend up, even through the extra 2000 hps of heals I gave him.
Since you are not allowed to run (the guards will kill you) our wizzy friend started up an evac, but unfortunately the warrior died, seconds before the evac. Last I checked before the port, the crawler was just under half health.

This might be a very good group xp generator, but it was a lot more than the 3 of us could handle.

Good Luck
