Illsh Champ Spawns

[Krrom]

Just getting back to the game after 5 years. Nothing but questions:

1) Do people actually do the spawns in Illsh now? I have not visited all the spots but the few times I have been out there I didnt see anyone. I see you get these new "skill" raise scrolls now.

2) Are any of these "new" (to me at least) ML dungeons friendly to anyone but a tamer? I have one but would like to take one of my other toons from time to time. I stumbled into a couple on my necro/mage(soon weaver)...and it just ended up in a lot of grey screen time.

3) Shadow wyrms raising the dead and getting a skeletal dragon...just not funny. This isnt a question of course but I just had to say it....used to bard that place for hours...

4) Went to doom...died as usual. Fighting the Dark Fathers at the gate not work anymore?

5) Oh and the big one...I would like to get the summon fiend/fey quest from some elf in the back of Sancuary...well there are only 300 pissed off monsters in between the entrance and the "town". Spawn rate is insano...how are you supposed to get back there? Nuclear bomb spell? Legendary Nerve Poison Spell? Anthrax? I mean wow....

1) yes, but while the event was running and SA beta people had better stuff to do than champs

2-4) dunno

5) using stealth or ethernal voyage or honor virtue or combinations of it

didnt tried it out myself but i bet running on a horseback without to halt works too ...

5) i run this daily and you can either stealth, take the caves, or what i do 99% of the time, run all the way...i do it in fel so i can't push through like in tram so stick there if you want. Precast heal or invis your choice

They are not the only ones that can cast necromancy spells now. Pretty much all of your undead casting monsters can too. It really made the lich lords extra nasty. Watchout when you are using a slayer weapon and they bloodoath you. It is funny to see what happens to a friend, but not so funny when its you (especially when he says "ohh I got something for his ass", just before he hits it).

Stayin Alive,

I'm a big fan of a couple of the Ilsh champs: Valor and Humility. These two areas randomly cycle through the demon, undead, ratman, reptile, and arachnid champs. Ilsh Spirit is the more popular champ, as it is easier. The Spirit champ always spawns Lord Oaks. Yes, "scrolls of transcendence" come as drops from these champs, as do (occasionally) replicas and deco.

Painted Caves. Tamer has nothing on a swordsman with a soulseeker in the Painted Caves.

5) Oh and the big one...I would like to get the summon fiend/fey quest from some elf in the back of Sancuary...well there are only 300 pissed off monsters in between the entrance and the "town".

Run. I've done the spellweaving quest that requires the run though sanctuary on an ABC archer, a weaver/tamer, a thief/ninja/fencer, a macer, a swordsman, a sampire, an archer/tamer, a necro/mage, an alchemist/scribe...am I missing any templates? The spawn doesn't target you immediately. Just gotta keep moving. Once you do it a time or two, it becomes pretty easy. You'll see.

Answers in bold.

I either carry heal pots and precast invis then run through. There is a really poorly placed server line in the middle of the dungeon by a bunch of ratmen archers, so you hit the server line, everything targets you as the screen refreshes...thats a good time to do the invis. Heal if you need and then ruuun some more.

Other way to do it is to stealth through. You *can* get revealed so keep an eye on your character as well as the path ahead of them. This works better if you are in ninja form (llama or whatever) so you can move faster, and if necessary run.

BTW for summon fey you can find the 20 reapers in reaper alley, north of minoc by the cave entrance that leads to khaldun. I have runes for tram and fel so I can quickly kill all the reapers I need. For the 50 imps (yuck) you can do the spawn in fire dungeon, though it's iffy if it'll be active and might be people there, or there is an imp spawn in the caves near honor shrine in ilsh, or you can go to that dungeon (I think it's blood dungeon?) in ilshenar that is right near the spirituality shrine gate. Just head towards the champ spawn with the pixies, follow the mountain, you'll see some skeletons so just go in that entrance south then head to the east once inside. Bunch of imps here, but you'll get some paragons since it's ilsh.

I like that last spot the best, it's definitely the fastest for getting your 50 imps.

the middle of the hedge maze is good for imps, at least in Trammel. If the imps spawn there in Fel, should be the same.
