a Drolvarg warlord

If you're camping this mob then be warned that he is fabled right now. That was a bit of a surprise for my 66 mage lol.

Fortunately he's not very hard. I was camping him with my mage for my bard's epic, and he popped as a fabled version. I was on another screen with my bard so I just hit pet attack before I noticed that he was red. As soon as I realized, I took my mage's cleric merc out of passive and put her in reactive, then I started trying to burn him down with the mage.

I almost took him, but the cleric was about to go oom when the warlord was at 20%, so I gated.

I ran back with the 66 bard and his tank merc and took him no problem. Max hit on the tank merc was 1162. Max hit on the bard on the pull was 1050ish.

I didn't parse his hp, but the mage's 3-4k nukes were only moving his health 2% or so. I would guess he's not more than 150k-200k (if that).

Edit: The fabled version DID drop the skull for the bard epic. He also dropped the fabled supple scale armband (or whatever its name is...something like that). The stats on it were not as good as elaborate defiant gear, but it did have burning affliction 5.

yep he summons.

LB to a lvl 65, easily taken down as a monk.

The trick to clearing this room solo is to leave a few minutes between each kill when you first get there so they spawn one at a time.

Easy peasy.

Now if I could just get the pawduster to spawn and drop my pipe i'd be happy =P

to get to this room you have to pass the halway with three jail cells on either side, then go down the staircase.

Got this tonight with the help of 4 guildies all over lvl 60. Skull dropped on 2nd kill of the warlord. Now only 7 more items to go.

just to add my experience of today:

Hardryv Guru described well how to find him.
When i came there, he was up twice. easy to single pull him by lulling the others in the room.

i didnt bother pulling to zone, just killed him on the steps just outside the room. no adds.

at 20% health he turned to run. didnt have snare up, so i mezzed, then memmed snare.

first kill dropped my skull, so i left the other copy of him for the next bard to kill.

None of the other directions listed led me to the infamous Drolvarg Warrior room. Maybe I just can't read :P. Fortunately I had access to track at the time.

The /loc of the center of the Drolvarg Warlord room is [+70, -610, +20]... the third coordinate being significant because this room is not on top or bottom of the castle, but about 2/3 the way up it -- and you can only access it from up top.

The path to it is riddled with see invis mobs, so expect to fight to it.

Verbally describing how to get there, and my apologies for confusion I cause...
* enter the castle visible from the zone in and go all the way back across the 2nd moat to the wall behind it
* enter the left (north) room and go up the curving stiarcase in this room
* once up top go north a bit until you hit the edge of the castle ramparts
* then turn right (east) and go all the way down
* the path will become a hallway with a roof and then force you to turn right (south)
* you'll quickly hit a T intersection, turn left (east)
* then following the hall you'll very quickly be forced right (south) again
* stop there...
... Now, on your right is a hallway of doors. They are a sort of guard barracks -- one drolvarg per room. Past them are stairs that descend to the door of the Drolvarg Warrior room.



Here is other helpful info bundled up for you in one place...

There are four PH's in the room... and each on will be "A drolvarg bodyguard", "A Drolvarg warlord", or very rarely I saw "a drolvarg pawbuster" there. Even at level 65 pulling one means all four PHs will come, and if your toon is stout this is not a problem.

The warlords have many more hp than the bodyguards, and summon. Each time I killed a Drolvarg Warlord there was a Supple Scale Armband drop, and judging by other posts it's either a common drop or guaranteed to be there each kill. Sadly, it was usually his only drop.

The repop for the room is around 20 minutes. Good luck in your farming efforts.

got this guy to spawn 3 times in 2 clearings of the room... zoned in and killed 1, on re-pops we got 2. All 3 times a skull dropped, which was luck, as when i camped it for my epic it took many kills.
It see's invis, and summons, is charmable by a 65 bard, etc.
dropped armband and skull every time.[quote][/quote]

For all the people that are tired of hearing how people gave it in the romp to the drolvarg warlord with their mid lvl 50s groups or solo capabilities, here is some beneficial info.

Drolvarg warlord has approx 5k 6k Hp, and hits max for 149.
Drolvarg Guardians have max 4 or 5k hp and hit a max for 139. Drolvarg warlord can spawn in a single cycle more than once. For the record, i killed him from start to finish at the camp, 3 times in 35 minutes, so whoever says he cant spawn more than once, has an object in their bootox. and for any of the bards, such as my alt, who wants to know how rare the skull is....Flip a coin when the warlord is up, and thats pretty much your chances. Out of the 3 times he spawned, only dropped the skull once. Dropped the harmonic dagger with the skull as well.

The only thing difficult with this camp, like most other camps, is breaking it.

I don't know if anyone else has posted this but its 26 minutes for spawn time.

Does the supple armband always drop?

Solo'd to his room and the bodyguards in his room today. Not much of a problem single pulling at 60, though one bodyguard did add on a pull. Warlord spawned in the far right corner on the second round of respawns. Didn't get summoned (I tank anyways), wasn't much harder than his bodyguards tho did agro when i was killing a bodyguard. Dropped the supple scale armband which i came for and also a petrified werewolf skull that rotted. Took me 45 minutes to get my extended range 3 item so not too bad.

hi im a 44 warrior and was looking at this zone a bit and it really seems like a fun and interesting zone with a lot of good drops that i would be happy to have hehe. and i was wopndering how come i never hear anyone talk about this zone as if it wasnt a good place to go or somfin? so i would like to get a bit of info on the zone like could i fit in here? would i be getting any of the good drops and what r the risks or is there a better place to go mostly for loot is what im after? plz respond

He also drops Donals boots. won them last night

I was inside KC one day and the DW had been trained to the zone. Everyone had zoned, and I had just logged on. I turned and looked at the warlord and noticed that he was low on health and beyond the zone point into DL. He summoned me to him placing me behind the zone line, but still in KC. I tried to run, but I was disoriented and ran toward where there should be a hole in the castle leading out into DL, but it walled off! He kept me stunned and I died. I respawned and could see me body behind the zone line but unable to loot my corpse, because to move toward my corpse would cause me to zone out. I got a cleric to resurrect me from a distance (luckily) and I was TL'd into the 'Twilight Zone' between KC and DL where the hole in the castle is walled off. As I ran back toward the KC area, it caused me to zone out to DL.

Hey guy who posted drolvargs are gnolls, they are not gnolls.
Venril Sathir drops a Lycanthropic staff(or one of his drolvarg minions) A Lycanthrope is a werewolve, This would also explain their howling and how werewolves are associated with vampires(venril sathir)
Thanks

Fought him during someone's train. He was half dead already when someone zoned and I stepped in with my 52 Mage. I put pet on him and nuked away. He summoned me 4 times during the fight, so be careful. Just run away from him as soon as you get summoned, let pet tie him up again. Was pretty much oom and pet beat to hell just to kill him, and he started at half life ).

Donals Boots. Got em 2 days ago.

Lvl goes up to 54, had one con even to me last night.
