Cuburt  

I've been killing him while waiting for the Zombie to pop. He also drops a snake scale, or rat whisker in place of the dress sometimes. He does spawn at the smudge next to the frogloks. His placeholder can be a mangy rat, a sewer rat, or a gelatonous cube. If you see one, kill it. There will be only one of these at a time on the paths at that section of the aqueducts.

I killed Cuburt last night with my 8 Enchanter and I found three things necessary for a successful kill: breathing room for medding, no waste of mana on the PH's, and Root. To kill Cuburt extremely easily you HAVE to root/snare at this level (the level that this quest is intended for). The 'BATTLE POINT' mentioned in an above post helps as well but without root it is extremely hard to kill him. I guess the bottom line is GET ROOT...heheheheh

BTW I don't think anybody even remembers Cuburt. He was very fun to kill.. anyone reading this post should follow up it was a blast!

OK. I killed cubert about 30-35 times today. Dident drop a single tattered dress. I was so frustrated. I play on the Firiona vie server. My question is Did this quest change? Or am i doing something wrong? Faction? I was camping him at LOC. 135 , -61. Does anyone know about this? Please respond if you have any idea.

is the dress magic?

You can not expect even the greenest newb to believe that a lev 4 mob is going to drop an Epic or a coin like 20-50pp, you are a complete moron for the the atempt alone.

And for all who are this green and new, an epic weapon is the most massive quest for your classs, lev 50+ quest, and the idea that it would drop that kind of coin is just as lame.

Ok here is everything you need to know about cubert in a quick message.

First to get to his spawn point find a man named Zamel near Arena in South Qeynos. There is a pool of water near him. In the water is the zone to part of aqueducts with cubert.

Cubert pops up right above the corner with the pool that has the 3 frogloks in the aqueducts. There is one spawn point there that spawns Gelatanous Cubes, Sewer Rats, and Mangy Rats. These 3 things are cuberts place holders. (All these things spawn at one spawn point. You can stand in front of that spawn point and kill them as soon as they pop.) The timer for that spawn is about 30 seconds after you kill the creature that spawned. Cubert pops from this spawn about 1 out of 10 creatures. I have camped him for an hour and not seen him.... othertimes he had spawned 3 times in a row from that spawn point.

All you have to do to get him to spawn is sit there and kill every gelatanous cube, sewer rat, and mangy rat you see. Everything else can be ignored.. they are not placeholders.

As far as Cuberts drops. He seems to drop the dress about once out of every ten times. Other than that he drops junk and a little copper or silver.

If you get the dress you have 2 choices. One is to turn it in to Zamel... the guy next to where you entered the aqueducts from Qeynos. I don't remember who the other person you can turn it into is.

I reccoment turing it into Zamel. His reward is the only one that is worth while. About one in every 5 dresses you give him he will give you a +3 int earring (Golden Ear Stud). The other rewards he will give you are Hematite and a little cash.

I had to camp cubert for about 4 hours to get 2 earrings. I have heard of other people doing it in one. I just had bad luck I guess.

Use EQAtlas to find Cuburt's spawn point.

The last time I was down there I found that my level 19 DD spell (98 dmg druid) could kill Cuburt or any of his placeholders in one shot so there were no running problems. The one problem I did have was that the very second I sat down to med after killing mobs all over the place in an attempt to single out his placeholder initially before I noticed its path Cuburt attacked me 6 straight times. I got the two earrings in under 10 minutes. The trip to Zamel if you use the zone by the bank is very short and then you can just gate back.

Btw for the mages Cuburt also drops malachite. The three loot combos I encountered were the Dress, bonechips or a malachite and snake scales.

An earring sells for around 30 plat in NFP and they aren't lore. I am bound right near Cuburt's spawn and can port myself to WComms after I fill a couple BPs. Say one dress every 5 mins and take 15 mins out of every hour for travel that is 270pp/hour if I'm not mistaken. After a couple hours in the aqueducts its some of the better cash a level 19+ dru or 20+ wizzie can make.

Go outside of the bank where the bridge is, in the pool there is an entrance to the aquaducts go down there it's real close to cubbert, PH as well as cubert spawn every 15 secs

Camper's Cliffnotes to Qijnopix's *excellent* guide:

Spawn loc: -135, 40
Spawn PH: Sewer rats, mangy rats, gel cubes
Respawn time: 15 SECONDS

If the placeholder is roaming, it'll walk back to the spawn point every 60 seconds. Just wait for it.

I first became familiar with Cuburt on accident, though I've now killed him more times than the average individual uses 'Sense Heading'.

AREA

Find the Sewer Custodian Zamel, and leap into the water next to him; under the bridge, and under a small niche, there is a tunnel down. Do not change directions, but go straight into it. Upon reaching the bottom, the passage forks off to the right and the left; the left goes further into the aqueducts. Take the right. You will go up another tunnel and come out into the air in a passage. Keep swimming straight on, and you'll quickly find a stone bridge.

First you should become familiar with your surroundings. The bridge begins at an alcove to your right, and swings around to a platform to the far left. The platform is useless; ignore it. Where the bridge turns off to the left, leading to the platform, will be referred to as the 'BATTLE POINT'. The alcove consists of a the main bridge, with a path running off of it to the left, which thusly swings around to a small water hole and the bridge. When you initially turn left into this alcove, there is a large black grease spot in the earth. This I've learned is actually corroded rock from the constant corrosive slime that the gelentanous cubes shed.

There are various creatures upon this platform: They include a large rat, a giant rat, a sewer rat, a mangy rat, a gelentanous cube, a fire beetle, a large snake, and a large spider. In your quest for Cuburt, ignore the fire beetles, giant rats, large rats, and spiders. If you see any mangy rats, sewer rats, or geletanous cubes, you will want to kill them - these are the only creatures that block Cuburt out.

HUNTING

Just past the burnt spot mentioned above, the creatures you will need to kill (Sewer rats, mangy rats, and Geletanous Cubes) will appear. The sewer rats are just barely more powerful than large rats; the mangy rats are little concern, for upon spawning they will often simply attack whatever creature it's nearest to, often ending up dead in the fight. The Geletanous Cubes can be dangerous for anyone of a lower skill - they can take around 150-250 damage, and hit for 10-14 depending on how strong they are. They also occasionally can slime you while attacking, using the Gela Root technique, which does not last for long, but can be annoying.

The biggest factors when hunting Cuburt, as with any creature, are Time and Patience. These can be greatly reduced with a very simple and effective method of hunting.

For the Mangy Rats and Sewer Rats, don't worry about them much; 20-30 damage will kill them, which can be dealt fairly quickly. If you do low damage though, use the techniques below.

When the creature in question spawns at the burn spot, attack them once and turn to run. Run down the bridge to the "BATTLE POINT" mentioned in the previous AREA section.

When you hurt one of these creatures, wether they be cube or rat, they will inadvertantly run. When they do this, they will go to one of two places depending on where they are. If you fight a creature near the wide Platform to the left far end of the bridge, they will simply jump into the water and swim down the corridors. Unless you're a very fast swimmer, these can be difficult to follow, and if you're commanding a pet that chases after the creature, do not plan on seeing it again for a time.

If you battle a creature at the Battle Point or closer to the alcove, however, they will still head for the water. The creature will head up the bridge, take a right turn onto a small bridge, and jump down into the tunnel that you originally entered the Acqueducts from. If the creature reaches the water, swim down the acquduct tunnel, and then go straight; you will find the fleeing monster stuck against the far wall. Swimming a few feet away, you can then easily kill them, resetting Cuburt's spawn.

However, this is time consuming, and takes much patience; therefore, pull the creature in question all the way to the Battle Point, or even a little past (but not too far, or they'll just jump in the water). This will allow you the maximum amount of time to kill the monster before he gets to the water. This way, I and various companions of mine, of various levels, have had perhaps one in fifteen creatures actually make it into the water, more then halving the time spent searching for Cuburt.

CUBURT

Cuburt will attack you on sight; when you kill one of the Cuburt place holders, run to the blackened spot, and either sit or just stand, waiting. If he spawns, he will immediately attack you. Cuburt is shorter then a dwarf, and looks in all other respects like any other Cube. He hits anywhere from 7-10 damage, can GelaRoot like his larger brothers, and has around 100hp.

The Battle Point is ESSENTIAL for Cuburt. Don't so much as touch him before you pull him there. If Cuburt gets into the water, he won't go up against the opposite wall as other creatures do; he'll simply disappear. And after waiting for him for half an hour, you do not want this to happen.

If you are a monk or other melee individual with attacks other then your regular, such as kicks or bashes, don't use them during the normal fight after you bring Cuburt to the Battle Point. Save special attacks, spells and such for after he starts running - he'll take off with about 30-40hp left, and you need to kill him before he hits the water.

Cuburt randomly appears. I recorded three individual hunting sessions - in each I spent 2 hours using these methods. The first time Cuburt spawned 8 times, with 3 dresses. The second time 9 times with 3 dresses, and the last time he appeared 11 times with 4 dresses. I received 6 Hematite gems and 4 Golden Earrings - the earrings I kept for myself, and sold the other two for 20pp each. Cuburt would occasionally spawn, then a sewer rat or other placeholder would spawn, then Cuburt would spawn again. This happened twice - generally he appears every 20 minutes or so if you're moving at optimal speed. The longest period of time between appearances was 35 minutes.

Other then the dress, Cuburt will drop snake scales, rat whiskers, and an occasional gem to be sold for 3-7gp. After 6 hours of camping Cuburt in individual 2-hour cases, I came out with 4 Golden Earrings, and a small cache of silver jewelry.

Best of luck in the sewers, and beware the slime - the green is safe, but the large brown piles should be avoided. These are sewers, afterall.

This Bokbok. Me take care uf Qijie's papers. Qijie stoopit sumtimes; he forget easy stuff. He no told you be nice with Zamel, who you give da poor gurl's dresses to, utherwise you no get the nice gold ring, just lots of dum black rocks. Black rocks no good fur Ogre like me. If Zamel gived me a rock I'd smashum.

- BOKBOK

The exactly spawn location is -135, 40.

I recommed rooting or snaring him as he jumps in the water and zones if he gets away and take forever to respawn if that happens...

around a brown bear he procs a spell so you can't move. annoying not hard.

Is he as hard to kill as:
A Giant Rat
A Grey Wolf
A Brown Bear
Queen Klicnik

Yes, he spawns near the froglocks

Here is what you do...

Go down into the aquaducts...You have to keep killing all the sewer rats,gellatenous cubes,and mangy rats.
They are all place holders for him.Eventually he will show up.It takes from 5 minutes to an hour.Hope this helps.


note: There is a 20 second spawning time from 1 NPC to the next.
