Ive killed a few renowned last couple days and got a bunch of special gems and some arties. (axe of abandon, demon bridle ring, void infused kilt)
I must be doing something wrong,have killed about 30-40 of the renowned,since pub, havent got anything but the gems so far . havin better luck with narvey and slasher. you Runnin a high luck suit(only 140 on mine )?
The pixie takes time, I took it down with nightmare/beetle no slayer no peace/disco. It took a while, 15-20 mins or so with constant healing. Disco would make this easier.
I believe all three of these will summon helpers and use necro spells, so it's best to try to leave a nice empty spot with no or few corpses nearby when you get ready to kill them. Also, the area where the Skeletal Dragon spawns is very cramped in comparison to the other areas. The mini champ spawn area with the Ancient Lich covers the most territory of all the spawn areas.
1. All Renowned creatures have the chance to drop an artifact.
Does this go for the Renowns in Ilsh?
Add Devourer of Souls [Renowned], Ancient Lich [Renowned] to the easy list and that would be for most any melee or archery char. Ancient Lich is easy with an undead slayer w/fire damage. Devourer of souls will take a little more work but pretty much the same thing except w/demon slayer
After getting my flying fixed , I agree with this alot. Rising colossus and ebolts + 40lmc. About to check Slasher now
There are no Renowned creatures in Ilsh.
Within a few seconds, yeah. It may be instantly, but it was usually 4-5 seconds before I noticed there was one on the ground, or run far enough to find it.
Go check the Skele dragon cave there sometime.
On Sonoma, I "ALWAYS" see Renowned Skele drags north of Compassion (I think) in that Skel Drag cave.
Ya the cave with the little ratman village/spawn outfront and earth elementals/ratmen right inside. The Skele Drags are all the way in the back (west) through a final cave.
solo medusa?
Must be an EM thing, or something left over from the past.
Yes.
Not a glitch or EM thing. Been that way from the SA start and a few threads about it on UOHall. Some plp see a paragon chest from one theese nasties a true earned rare reward. So Devs don't hose another ingame glitch that players like, and fiddle with real problems that are broken.
Hopefully the renown skele is just an early hint that some of this stuff will go in. Ilshenar definitely could use some spice.
No this was intentional i believe, was remarked on doing SA beta
Did a few renowneds last night,
but nary an artie in sight.
Gems a'plenty, ingredients too
Guess I'm not as lucky as you.
If you've seen them spawn anyplace but on the critter's corpse since the last Publish, please say so, because as far as I can tell this much has been fixed.
It depends. Like the Renouned Wyvern. I thought I had been taking it with a Melee-er. I tried him 2 says ago with my neco/spellweaver/swordswoman and he tore her up. Hit her for 70+ and then a 60 fire breath (which meant she was dead). I don't remember him doing that kind of damage.
