I'm also curious as to what stats are on the items.

Since most of us have not seen these items yet, and hopefully their pixels havent been set in stone, I'd just like to say I'd like to see some cooler and/or unused item graphics get used to arties:

Chaos Shield (community turn-in shield doesnt count!)
Elven half apron (non-race for arti)
Elven boots
Dragon scale armor parts (cept helm...we got too many head-piece arties)
Bone armor gloves and leggings
Woodland armor parts
Platemail sleeves and leggings


Add your item suggestions to the list!

Their names and the bosses that drop them have been announced and the publish has already hit Origin, what part of this makes you think the graphics aren't set?

Chaos shields generally suck cause of the weight. Then the non med of all those other items makes them usually useless.

Heck, I'd like to be able to choose this graphic for a crimson cincture (as it was originally intended). Half aprons are UGLY.

Oh, for the record, race restrictions on elven clothing are stupid. I can see why a human might not be able to wear gargoyle armor, but not why they can't wear a woodland belt or elven boots. And yet a gargoyle can wear any robe? Are they tearing wing holes in them?

Sometimes Mythic's "logic" is beyond baffling.

would love to see the stats on the new items from sa bosses. anything known yet?
Been chipping away at Navrey for quite a while now. But she's climbed up the wall and it's pretty hopeless at this point. Obviously that problem hasn't been fixed yet. Had her down to about 845 hit points but it's steadily climbed back up to about 2500 now and I don't think I can finish her off by myself at this point.

Yes the dance certain SA monsters can do is very very annoying. spellweaving helps but its still a long fight alone. How do you do the rock drop thing on navrey anyways, do you need 4 people, one at each pillar?

A guildmate came and helped me finish her off. Absolute waste of at least an hour and 350 bandages. 2023 gold and a Tattered Remnant of an Ancient Scroll were the only things worth looting.

How pathetic.

I don't know, Xalan. I haven't been down there in ages and now I know why. I was doing it solo with a greater dragon. Didn't die or even come close to being in trouble and the pet never got below half health at any point and most of the time was mostly healed up. But my tamer has terrible mana regen and no Eval Intelligence. Probably would have gone faster if Navrey was discorded, but my tamer's not a disco tamer. The whole encounter was just TEDIOUS and a big big waste of time, in my opinion. I certainly don't have the time to repeat that over and over again hoping for an artifact. At the rate they drop in the rest of the Abyss, I could be down there with Navrey for a year without getting anything.

And for all I know, if she did get an arti, it's hiding under the ten million spider webs down there where some opportunistic stealther can pick it up.

Ouch. :-/

I am interested to see SOTs dropping from the new peerless and slasher. Very cool.

And for whatever it means to anyone, the tamer I just used has 680 luck on her suit.

There are three pillars, requiring 1 player each. You 'use' a piece of the pillar in nearish unison and rocks fall on the area Navrey is in. Its AoE damage that hurts players in that area too. The pilars have a cool down period, not sure how long that is though.

Navrey stats and a screen shot from tonight. (This was on Origin, if that's not clear from my previous posts.)



Don't know if they made her harder in conjunction with adding the chance for an artifact or left her the same as she has been since the last change. She did a fair amount of wrapping my tamer in webbing (probably did the pet too but was hard to see anything stuck on or around it) and teleporting both tamer and pet, at different times, clear across the room and sticking them to a handy outcropping or the wall. Seemed like her webbing got weaker, most of the time anyway, as her hit points went down.

Bah! 160 Barding difficulty! That stinks!

Navrey was the only boss you could go to with a bard. Now my Peacemaker is useless there too :(

if they let us imbue instraments and gave us new toys the 160 barding would not matter !!

Spider slayer + 120 music, disco, and peace. Disco to lower difficulty (it will take a few tries, but should work with the slayer), then peace.

Worth a shot, at least.

The tamer I used last night has 120 music and 120 peacemaking. She was able to area peace Navrey just fine. We were actually on the way to squashing her flat by keeping her on the run (pet was following Navrey and tamer was following pet and slapping on bandages every chance she got) until my tamer got thrown across the room and stuck in webbing and Navrey took her chance to scoot up the wall and hang upside down, taunting us. After that, it was pretty much hopeless because the GD couldn't seem to cast on her and my tamer with low med, MR and LMC, and no eval couldn't cause enough damage to stay ahead of Navrey's hit point regeneration rate.

I might try again with a spider slayer spellbook and after making some adjustments to her suit. Having some company along certainly wouldn't hurt either. However, the loot is so pathetic as to make teaming up not worthwhile. 2200 gold and very mediocre items on the corpse (worse than I get anywhere else with the same character and the same 680 luck), no SoT, no arti (unless it shows up 5 minutes later somewhere on the floor??), having to carry about a bazillion bandages if you want to stay a while, wondering the whole time if your pet might actually just poof for good when it's teleported (what if the shard or your client crashes when that's happening???), no information provided on who gets looting rights (guildmate who came and helped me last night got no looting rights)....yeah, that'll keep people hooked on killing Navrey for sure.

Perhaps, but it *is* quite handy for when I want to bake a cake in the middle of an Abyssal Champion spawn.

... don't want to get flour on my leggings :p

Nice.

So far I haven't been able to solo Narvey....I don't know if it's me as a player, or my template, or both, that's the issue. I'm hoping to get some guild assistance. *chuckles*

Don't think too much on it, she's basically on par with Dreadhorn. Less damage, but has the web attack.
Well probably a bit weaker, but in the area.

Do these four SA bosses (Navrey, Slasher, Stygian Dragon, and Medusa) also drop the traditional ML Peerless items like Crimson Cinctures? Or just SA items and these new ones?

Im sorry, but DCI on even more items?? I mean, give me a break already.

Faction glasses: 25
AOF: 15
Ring/Brace: 15/15
Lights Rampart: 20
Slither: 10
Tangle: 5
Conjuror's Robe: 5
Fey Leggings: 20
Quiver of Infinity: 5
Twinkling Scim: 21

That's a total of 156 DCI, that can be spread out on a mages' suit to get the fabled 70 HCI to negate HLD.

Lets look at HCI,

Totem: 15
Glad Collar: 10
Primer: 10
Ring/Brace: 30 (Faction Ring of Vile = 25 but who uses this)
Any shield: 15
Cloak of Death: 3
Weapon: 15
Faction Stormgrip: 10

That's a total of 108 HCI, almost 1/3 less than DCI. Seriously, can u tell me that's fair?!?

Oh, would you look at that: The first non-jewelry useable source of FCR!

Typically they put FCR 2 on an item, which they don't seem to realize is worthless... no one's going to waste a jewelry property to make up the 1 FCR.

You'Re forgetting The Inquisitor's Resolution. That has 3 FCR too. Also the invasion spellbooks come with FCR. And the Vesper Museum Chaos shield...

Inquis resolution is junk apart from the FCR 3.
Chaos shield is 1/2 not 1/3
Spellbooks are limited only to wrestle mages. (and even then you couldn't switch through slayers for PvM)

Did forget about Inquisitor's, but the book falls under "unuseable." (and Inquis comes close Imo)

The books are no where near "unuseable" they are great books for the non faction wrestle mages!

But, there only fcr2 so if your using them for that...WTF!

It is always funny to see how people are complaining and calling their character "worhtless" just because they can't kill a peerless all by themselves. UO is an MMORPG! If you want to solo things, go play Diablo.

Think this was meant for the other thread :p

No-one here has spoke of soloing these monsters...the thread asking how to solo is different .
