Ssraeshza Temple

This trap is red to a level 51 Rogue, light blue to level 76.
It is in the hall on the way to the Shissar Assassin
at /location (-125, +324, -5).

Happened to skill up Sense Traps to 89 before it appeared.
When it appears it is a runed ring of stones that sets off
a 200 dmg DOT called "Serpentine Curse."

I started Disarm Traps with a skill of 11, at a skill of 100
it stopped detonating every attempt, and still trying at 154.

At that point I pulled the next mob from beyond it, killed it,
passed the trap, cured it with RGC and will forget it.

So you have to kill all the TM's to get the ring? Or is it the same as the regular ring just killing Fableds?

Similar to the taskmasters all level 75, 300-1500 hits, 4-8x normal taskmaster HPs. Dropped the Fabled Taskmaster's Pouch so far, but would assume any of the Fabled key items, as all the Fabled Taskmaster's have been random of the 4 items.

Oh yea, can pull Rhozth out by going to temple, up center ramp, take right, and go in between last set of pillers (clearing snake if need be), half way between pillars and wall, /tar The, to target him, hit Taunt, run back to ramp, then to N end where locked door and stay a bit away from it, till he comes out. Takes a few minutes, but works great, when no Rog around to pick the lock.

Will update later with a few more details on mobs.

90K HPs
Hits 300-1500
Casts:
Life Leech (rarely)

Rampages alot, Enrages at 10% (as do al the taskmasters both Ramps and Enrage). All Rampages were single-target.

Map data for position to /tar The is:

http://www.the-commune.com/jolo/guides/ssra/

Last night myself and a group of guildies went to SSRA for the Cleric 1.5 Piece off of Elite Guards. While we were roaming around 2nd floor killing everything we saw, we cam across a room that had 8 mobs in it. 4 on each side with little extender walls seperating them. Also in that room was 2 doors. One straight ahead and one to the right. We took the one to the right and opend another door and there was Rhag (Cant remember name) up on a platform higher than us. We didnt attempt to kill it but we all got dotted with the "Serpentine Curse" DOT. It appeared by standing just outside the room Rhag was in, that DOT goes off occasionally. Tried RC and that did not work. Cleric did not have RGC. Will RGC cure that DOT?.

It sucked cause we all died from it. We evac'd to the Zone in though to save on the coffins..

your on the wrong server if that crap is going on. the guild im in are in Ssra atm still getting keyed and green metals for bane weapons and last night there were two other guilds also raiding there and all on different targets and there were no issues and ooc'd grats going around upon announcement of mobs going down.

we took down rhag2 , AL , and XTC on our romp last night. another guild did the emporer and the other guild did rhag1 and some other target, fun was had by all.

fun and challenging zone with plenty of targets and loots for all.

Today i got a shissar warlock to drop undead shissar scales, anyone know what they are for?

I always wondered why the skellies in the mines seemed to be so tough. The answer came when I boxed a chanter and charmed one of these vile creatures.

As soon as I charmed one, and the pet window popped up, my new pet came with shamam buffs! It had shammy haste (why they hit so fast), Focus (why they seem to have so many hitpoints), and SoW (yes, indoors even, which is why they run so fast when they flee at low health). Of course, this is probably due to the fact that half the skellies down there are shammies themselves, and likely buff all their friends who aren't.

So if you are down there and lack a slow/debuff class member in your party, simply pull these things with a dispell or two. Dispelled skellies are complete wimps. You don't even need to slow them once you zap their haste, and you will actually see their health decrease when you zap their Focus.

anyone ever come across Khati Sha's warder? if so he needs adding to the bestial list. I am told he is locked up in the basement in some sort of cage. More infomation would about this mob would be great, it will help understand the lore behind Khati Sha.

Trying to see if you need a key to get in here or just go into basement and kill stuff to get key to emporers chamber?

Server was up today.

Logged the tracker into ssra, and saw a mob called:

Enhanced Imperial Golem

from tracking near the Rhag1 area.

Never seen it before and it's not on the list, so figured I would mention it.

Emperor's Key - Comm 1
----------------------
The quest for a key that opens the chamber to the Emperor in Ssraeahza Temple has four pieces: the Taskmaster Pouch which drops off named Taskmasters in the basement, Zazuzh's Idol (camp name: Comm1), Zeruzsh's Ring (camp name: Comm2), Ssraeshzian Insignia (camp name: Insigs).

To read more about the quest, click this link: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1999


First, get this map pack at eqmaps: http://www.eqmaps.com/m3/ssraeahza2_set.zip

Now, using the map named ssra1st.jpe from that map pack, I'll describe how to get Commander Zazuzh (Comm1) to spawn on the first floor of Ssraeahza Temple. The good news is he always drops the idol, the bad news is he's a rare spawn with a placeholder and can pop in a random static spot.

Using the information below, you can (eventually) spawn Commander Zazuzh in one of four places -- one of the tube room entrance guard spots at the "Comm 1 right" camp (Top, middle of map, listed as "2nd" on map at appr. loc +200, +200), one of the tube room entrance guard spots at "Comm 1 left" camp (Bottom right of map, listed as "2nd" on map at appr. loc -450, 0), a small room outside the "Assassin Room" camp ("2" on map), and finally, inside the "Assassin Room" ("A" on map, requires lock pick skill of 210+ to open door).

In order to move to, break in, clear, and hold either of the Comm 1 camps, I recommend bringing along a group of at least three -- a good tank, a good healer (a shaman or druid will do if you have an enchanter in third spot), a slower (if the healer is a cleric with pacify, you can use a shaman or beasty for slows). To speed up the process of spawning the Commander, take a full group with DPS classes in the final three spots. It is also a good idea to have a tracker to regularly check for "Commander Zazuzh" because he *may* pop elsewhere, see above.

Note: We (2 people) did the camp with a very non-standard group consisting of a level 65 shaman with 120+ AAs including LR5 and the spell Quiescence who tanked all the mobs while I three-boxed a level 65 druid helping heal, fire-debuffing mobs (for wizzy SoS spell) and nuking, a level 65 Wizard with 160+ AAs doing most of the DPS, and a level 64 enchanter who pacified certain mobs during break-in and on rare occasions did the crowd control and most importantly, kept the C4 pumping.



Zone Etiquette
--------------
Comm 1, Comm 2 and Insigs are highly sought after spawns with established camps. Be sure to answer camp checks with the accepted name (on Xev server) of the camp you're farming -- Comm 1 Right, Comm 1 Left, Comm 2 Right (up the Tube Room from Comm 1 Right), Comm 2 Left (up the Tube Room from Comm 1 Left). If you have TWO groups you can probably cover both right camps, or both left camps.


The Mobs You'll Encounter
-------------------------
You will see a variety of snakes, the hardest of which will be the Elite Temple Guards (the ones on the first floor CAN be slowed). Here's a rundown on mobs with links...

An Elite Temple Guards (mostly melee, may HT though): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7213

A Temple Guard (melee only): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7108

A Shissar Arcanist (wizard class): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7212

A Shissar Priest (cleric class will heal, STUN IT!): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7211

A Shissar Spirit Bind (shaman class): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7214

A Shissar Warlock (necro class): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=7215

Commander Zazuzh (Big Boy himself!): http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=8868

The Elites are toughest of all you will encounter but bland by PoP standards. The Commander ALWAYS drops the Idol for Emperor key so you will have to spawn and kill him once for each group member, bring a lunch it may take some time. Comm 1 & Comm 2 can also (very rarely) drop a key that is used to access certain locations on the third floor of Ssra (Arch Lich room, XTC room, High Priest room) so ALWAYS loot these!



Breaking and Holding Comm 1 Right
---------------------------------
Enter Ssraeahza Temple at the spot marked "1" on the map and go around the corner in this hallway you will see a door at approximate LOC 0,0. Directly across from the door way is another door with two snake guards (neither see invis) which leads to the Assassin Room area and also the tube room to the basement. To the right of this door at approximate LOC +50, +100 is a ramp that leads up and around to the Comm 1 Left camp. At approximate LOC +100, +100 is a guard that doesn't see invisible. At approximate LOC +85, +150 is another door with 1 guard that DOES see invisible -- this is the door that leads to Comm 1 Right camp.

Put See Invisible and some form of Invis on all group members. Quickly move to the door to Comm 1 Right and enter the hallway. If the see invis guard outside aggros, pull him into the hall and kill him there, hopefully this will not aggro the closest guard that doesn't see invisible (LOC +100, +100). If you have an enchanter in group and the other guard aggros, Mez him. If you have no crowd control, root the add and move the fight away from the rooted mob.

At approximate LOC +115, +225 is the door to the Tube Room marked "2nd" on the map. Do NOT get too close to this door because there are two see invis guards directly inside the door (these can be PH's for Comm 1). In addition to the two guards, there are seven other spawns -- one snake in each corner of the room, and three snakes around the actual tube. With a good group, you should be able to keep all NINE spawns cleared. The loot is pretty anemic, but you will be killing some "Elite Temple Guards" who dropped Shissar Weapons that are used to create Shissar Bane Weapons which are needed to do melee damage to the Emperor (there are a wide variety of weapons -- a bow for ranja's, a club for priests, a dagger for INT casters and rogues, a 2hs for warriors and hybrids, a knight weapon for Pallys and Shadow Knights, and a regular 1hs sword for any melees that can equip 1hs).

You will need to pacify one guard to single pull the other guard (or Mez one if you have crowd control), thus breaking the only potential double-pull in the Comm 1 Right camp. Pull one guard into the hallway far enough so it won't aggro the other guard. If you have a pet class in group, make sure you don't push the guard back into the Tube Room. After the first guard is dead, pull the second guard and kill him. This should split the respawns far enough apart so you won't have to worry with pacify pulling after the initial break, just make sure you're ready to kill the two guards as they repop. You can then pull the remaining seven spawns in the Tube Room and keep those clear for fun and profit.

Continue pulling and killing all the Tube Room spawns and you will eventually spawn Commander Zazuzh, who can take the place of either one of the door guards. If your tracker sees Zazuzh on track but he's not one of the Comm 1 Right door guards, this means either (1) he has spawned at Comm 1 Left (by people camping that spot) or (2) you have spawned him at one of the Assassin Room spawn points.

To check on a non-local Comm 1 spawn send a abscond/egree/succor class group member (wizard or preferably druid since they can track) to zone in and have them invis their way to "2" on the map (nothing sees invisible between zone in and the Assassin Room. The small room outside the locked door to the Assassin Room has three snakes. Commander Zazuzh usually spawns on the left (he's hard to see without getting close to the door and moving all the way to the right in the hall). If your gopher finds Comm 1 up in this room, immediately move your group from camp to this spot and gank him because he won't stay alive long! He is a big wimp, mob-wise -- easily slowable and easier than the Elite Temple Guards you've been killing at Comm 1 Right.

If the Commander is NOT in this small room, he's either inside the Assassin Room or someone has spawned him at the Comm 1 Left camp. If your group is alone in the zone, then he popped in the Assassin Room. You will need a rogue with 210 lockpick skill to open the door at "2" on the map, and to disarm the mana drain trap at "3" on the map.

Note: I have heard that more than one Comm 1 can be up at one time, but I cannot personally verify this. So, you may be able to spawn another Commander if you cannot get a rogue to open the Assassin Room door.



Breaking and Holding Comm 1 Left
--------------------------------
You start Comm 1 Left the same way you started Right -- enter Ssraeahza Temple at the spot marked "1" on the map and go around the corner in this hallway you will see a door at approximate LOC 0,0. Directly across from the door way is another door with two snake guards (neither see invis) which leads to the Assassin Room area and also the tube room to the basement. To the right of this door at approximate LOC +50, +100 is a ramp that leads up and around to the Comm 1 Left camp.

Your group can invis up the ramp to Comm 1 Left camp without aggroing the see invis guard who is by the door to Comm 1 Right camp. Move up the ramp and to the door located at approximate LOC -90, +100. Enter the door and move down the hall to the second door at approximate LOC -110, -10. This door leads to a large room with eight snakes, four on each side of the room each separated by a column. All of these mobs see invisible so you will have to kill at least four of them.

The best approach for moving through this room is to pacify the first mob on the side OPPOSITE to the route you want to take. When we did this camp with our non-standard group (see above), a wizard sent in an Eye of Zomm to target the first mob on the left because it's almost impossible to target the first mob on each side, and then our enchanter /assisted the wizard and pacified that mob. If you don't have a caster who can cast Eye of Zomm to target, you will have to use a crowd control class to mez the other mob because he usually adds as you move to the other corner mob. If you dont have a crowd controller, you can root one mob away from the other. Just be careful to NOT aggro the second set of mobs deeper into the large room.

The group should then moved CAREFULLY to the first mob on the side of the room you've chosen as your route to the next door. Everyone should stay in the corner of the room and don't push the mob or you may aggro the second mob (you can pacify or mez this mob to be safe, but it's not necessary if you watch what you are doing). The worst case scenario is that you aggro the second mob, but you can mez the add if you have crowd control, root one or at very least slow both mobs so your tank doesn't get beat up too badly.

Continue killing the other three mobs on this side of the room until you are in the far corner near the door at approximate LOC -120, -15. Pacify the last mob on the OPPOSITE side of the room and move through the door, stopping in the short hallway that leads to the Tube Room marked "2nd" (bottom right in map).

This hallway will be your camp spot for Comm 1 Left. The door leading to the Tube Room is at approximate LOC -370, -15. Use the same tactics described above for Comm 1 Right -- do NOT get too close to this door because there are two see invis guards directly inside the door (these can be PH's for Comm 1). In addition to the two guards, there are seven other spawns -- one snake in each corner of the room, and three snakes around the actual tube. With a good group, you should be able to keep all NINE spawns cleared.

The one thing that was slightly different from Comm 1 Right: we were at this camp for several hours without spawning the Commander, and had to evac out, therefore we had to break in again by killing four of the mobs in the larger room leading to the Tube Room. Not long after this, the Commander spawned at one of the door guard spots. After clearing the tube room once more, we killed the four spawns from the outer room again and the Commander spawned AGAIN! I'm not 100% sure killing these four spawns outside the tube room had anything to do with spawning the Commander, but we were able to get multiple Comm spawns after we added these mobs to our killing cycle. Your mileage may vary.

Note: One of the Commanders spawned at the location marked "2" on the map, outside the Assassin Room. When we noticed Commander on track, but he wasn't at our camp, we moved quickly to the Assassin Room door and killed him there, then moved back to our Comm 1 Left camp.

Note: We got 4 of the 5 Commanders at this camp, so it would be my first choice if the zone is empty or if not all camps are currently taken.

Level 56 to 57 Cleric Mob on a 22 minute timer. Yellow to a 55 in the group and blue to everyone over 58 for every spawn. Saw him spawn 4 times in a row and then not all all for over 6 spawns in a row with multiple types of Place Holders. Located in the basement across from the room where Rhozth Ssravizh spawns. He is soloable by a 65 Bard or a lower bard duo'ing with a healer. Loves to nuke and will complete heal. He is in a room with one other mob but is always the one on the right which I believe is East in that room. He drops the Voice of the Serpent and the Shissar Guard Belt with the Voice being his rare drop. The belt is http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=12728 and the Voice is http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=18657 . Need to update the mob list to include this guy.
