D'oh!

Prices for aligned ore have been pretty ridiculous on Povar lately, so I decided to head for Natimbi and see if I could get some to drop. AA XP isn't terrible for me, either.

I did not realize that fierce cragwalkers summon. Makes it awfully hard to fear kite them.

What class are you? HoT potions work great in that sitiuation.

I'm a ranger (no jokes please! )

What's an HoT potion? Unless it's instant cast, I wouldn't have been able to get it off... I keep a Thurg gate potion on me for things like this. I went down fast though, like pathetically fast.

Not sure the cast time, a second or two. Heal Over Time potions are great, run around while you get healed. They probably heal you about 2/3 more than a one shot heal potion, and are on the same recast timer. They are sold in PoK at the barbarian alchemy shop in the building by the fishing pool.

Welcome to the club, Orelli. When I saw the price of aligned ore in the bazaar (I needed it to make a platinum bladed long spear for my smithing trophy), I too went to Natimbi to farm it from the critters there. Just like you, AA experience wasn't all too bad for my level 61 magician.

Then, upon sighting the fierce cragwalker, I decided to give him a shot. I had fought him with a group about a year ago (successfully) and I was aware of what he could do, but I decided that my character was capable of soloing him. After all, I had the ward of xegony pet, a diamond prism of companionship to focus him with, and all of the level 61 magician spells. Surely I could solo him now, couldn't I? Yeah right....

STOMP MASH CRUSH.....Returning to bind point.....Loading, please wait...

One day, revenge will be mine.

*eyes the stacks of bars of aligned steel hoarded on a mule from maxxing the conversions* What practical use do these have beyond the trophy? Or is that what you needed it for, too, Orelli?

[Maevenniia]

I have stacks and stacks of these, and the muramite scales (aged and non) and the Taelosian clay, Taelosian & discord stones, and pale nihilite too.

I should clean some of this stuff out, as I am past needing them for skill ups, but I have this packrat / hoarding thing going on.... lol

[Orelli Virbonus]

I figured it would be a tough fight, but not a completely disastrous one. I mean, it was a DB-conning animal! What ranger can't own that?

What practical use do these have beyond the trophy?

GoD weapons sell for a decent profit, and they make good twink weapons for my alts (none of whom are over 20.) Not to mention that there are still some gaps in the database that I would like to see filled, if possible.

iirc, Alligned Ore is used in the Rogue 1.5 as well.

[Rewde]

I remember when I used to play. I'd go there and DC a regular cragwalker and then use it to kill the fierce. A little snare, a couple of DOTs, and some healing for the pet. It'd only take a couple min to take him out. Dang.... I miss this game..

They are insta cast and can be used on the hoof which is my "preferred" method of using them.

Before buying them in PoK look what the bazaar offers. Especially the higher ones are used to skill-up alchemy and are usually cheaper in bazaar than from the potion vendor.
