Western Wastes - an Ice Burrower

[Kindadar]

Ice Burrowers out in WW are summoning when they shouldn't be. Source:

The earliest date I can find is early 2002, but I don't ever remember them being able to summon. I used to charm kite the heck out of them for the monks near the beginning of Velious.

Removed their ability to summon, pending update.

As far as I can tell, this was one of the few npcs that did not follow the 51+ summoning rule.

Velious was the beginning of the laxing of the 51+ summon rule.

Several mobs in WW for example don't summon. The wolves shouldn't either even though they can be 47-53ish.

Nor the rhinos or mastadons... Named animals didn't summon either... I can't remember if the wyverns did or not....

Yea I remember people soloing Tantor on an SK with crappy DoTs just taking forever.

Only the dragons should be summoning in WW basically.

I don't know if there is a comprehensive list out there but the 51+ always summons rule was not in effect for Velious content. It was mostly limited to mobs near bosses (like mobs near castle in Velks) or named (excluding the named rhino, wolf and wooly in WW).

Removed the velium hound summoning, pending update.
