Drusella Sathir timer

[Pringles]

Currently she is on a 24 hour timer. I believe she should be three days.

The only mention I found in-era of 24 hours was a player reminiscing on when Necklace of Superiority was moved from The Kly to Drusella

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.games.everquest/rwoxJpWjI8M/e9g9wQbyCg4J
11-17-2001 After VI figured out it was becoming Drelzna II down there with the
silly camps, they moved the NoS to Drusella Sathir in Howling Stones. IIRC
she's roughly a 24 hour spawn, loads the NoS as a rare drop, and is not
"casually campable" like The Kly was.

I looked through patch notes and found nothing to suggest she had been changed.
Next mention I've found of a spawn time is out of era a few months after Luclin release. The timing on this makes me think that her spawn time was changed when Chardok 2.0 dropped as people weren't so keen to give up strats/info so the months delay fits for me.

I'd also like to know her spawn time. I've heard two things, she is a 3 day spawn, or that she's is a PH'd mob, ie.. you kill everything in her room and eventually she pops. Anyone know?
The PH mob was mentioned earlier in the comment section but had been down voted into being hidden so I think we can discount the ph theory.

Well, Drusilla is a 3 day (I think) spawn at the rear end of Howling Stones. She dies rather fast to people wanting the Spirit Wracked Cords from Chardok quest. She doesn't always drop the NoS.

So, Venril Sathir Remains (You do NOT need to kill the real Venril Sathir) spawns more often, is easier to get to, and drops what you need more often.

Howling Stones had a revamp in august, 2003 and this person is asking if she still has a three day still which she did he just needed to wait on variance to catch up.

SHe used to have a 3 day spawn. Anyone know if they changed it? I killed her last Friday and she didn't drop an Urn. I came back exactly 36 hours later and she wasn't up - been checking here on and off for the past 6 hours and still no pop.

Anyone know for sure exatly what here spawn time is?

I know some mobs have a +/- on their spawn time, but before the revamp on HS I was under the impression that Drus was up on server up and that she also had a fixed spawn time.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Shame there is no concrete source for very late velious but it does make sense considering people kept their secrets close and the newness of the revamped zone.

Hodor!

So you have 100% proof she was in era 24h, but wanted to theorize on out of era comments that she should be 3 days, solid not evidence right there.

Just as you stated for the the dropable version of Spirit Wracked Cords, there was no in era evidence, but lots out of era, or even better, posted out of era, even tho could be in era, but was just ruled as grey area and removed. Here you want to do the other way around, with era evidence change things in era with evidence out of era.

Quest itself is hard as its, you have to beat Shady(24h), Angry(72h) and Drusela(24h) plus Ally to chardok, considering on best case where you win all straight you would need about 5 days to get it all, considering the competition its very unlikely. Even the dropped version sometimes took 3 days to drop.

That said im not sure if you just a masokist or some type of unemployed that already have it and dont care if they make it harder as it wont affect you.

ps: I did the quest not so casual way and took me about a month

[Asiian]

Really not understanding why you would go out of your way to make things harder for people. This camp is already complete aids as it is.

Pathetic.

[Nirgon]

It's about an authentic recreation. Not easier or harder.

Here some in era evidence for you.

4) i'm pretty sure she is on a 24 hour timer. she's a static spawn tho so just get in a rythm of killing her. this actually is a mob you can just say "hey lets kill drusella today." it's not like venril or any other bad ass in kunark. just a higher level with nice loot. now go get her.

so anyway(ignores all the crap posts mocking the first crap post), I've been hunting in this zone about 6 hours a day for past week and half, have pulled a good 100k worth of loot out of ehre in fignerbone hoop, sash of dragonborn and whatnot.
Recently have taken to killing Drussel Sathir on a daily basis for past 3 days. Every day we killed her she dropped the NoS, except for today, she dropped something weird, Ventril's Phylacery, lore, magic, nodrop, listed as none/none on classes that can use, and uses the same icon as the gold onyx pendant made with jewelcrafting. If you have any info on what this item is for please send me an email, or a tell in game if you are on Innoruuk server.

OP's premise is her spawn time changed with the Chardok2.0 update ( Oct 2001). Most the evidence he cites is from after that.

Re: RE: Drusela

chances are you missed her.
she is (after like 30 kills) 3 days +/- 6 hours but almost always early.

what is re-spawn time on Druzilla and Trakanon ?
(trak = 7 day and Druz = 3 day ?)

how many group need for kill that Trak and Druz ?
(all L56+ : Trak = 3 group, Druz = 1 group ?)

Sinew and Urn is common drop ? or rare drop ?
(i guess common drop)

Sinew and Urn is drop-able ? or no-drop ?

Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

Same with Drusella Sathir, killed her wednesday at around 6.30pm and she didn't drop the urn. Furthermore, we started clearing to her again next day at 6.00pm, and when we got to her room an hour later she hadn't spawned. Went raiding and came back around 11pm, still no Drusella :/ - her spawn time is definitely not 24 hours on the dot.

Drusella Sathir

Unless Drusella was changed in the last few months, she isn't a 24 hour spawn.. she's a regular named spawn with the same spawn time as the rest of Charasis, but with placeholders. That would explain why she wouldn't be up 24 hours later, her placeholder had popped 30 minutes after you killed her last. So stay down there for a while and kill her a few times in one night. ;)

If she did get changed sometime, though, then I'll eat my crow and shuffle off.

Re: Drusella Sathir

Incorrect, Drussila was a regular spawn for about 4 or 5 months after Kunark came out, then around a year ago or so they changed her to a 24 hours spawn

The above stood out to me. Would this line up with moving the Necklace of Superiority from The Kly to Drusella? I can't remember when it switched over on Green.

She's obviously not a 24 hour spawn anymore, not on Tribunal at least. Unless a level 55 druid can pull and solo her from zone-in.

Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

agreed HS is a great exp place sub 60 away from eggs in VL, spent much time in there, DS does not seem to be a 24 hour spawn but a normal spawn with a ph. Otherwise she should be up quite often though we've never seen her pop on her own. This doesn make sense though, she is not too dificult and is easily killed by 1 group.

Re: [ask] 3rd ring quest

Just did Drusella tonight. No urn. She did not spawn within 2 and a half hours after we killed her. She is spawn 6 in that room. Everything is on a 21 minute-ish timer. We got all 5 spawns multiple times but no Drusella nor ph.

Re: 3rd Chardok ring is shoulders/arms/wrist item (SOLVED)

On Tarew Marr (probably everywhere), Drusella is a 2-2 1/2 day spawn. I know because I killed her 3 straight times and was there =) She has no ph and her room is easier than it looks. Everything in there can be AE mezzed with little difficulty, so just pull the whole damn room at once and work on her. She lifetaps for 280 frequently with melee hits, so be careful. I highly suggest slowing her as much as possible (of course!)...

The only hard part is the "T" intersection before her hallway. Nasty either way you go, so we just Invis Undead and take the long way to save time. Just watch out for The Raid Ender nearby. It's a carpet that someone always falls into, and usually you are so far into East at the time that people get bored and want to end the raid rather than hangout and try again. Mobs will also summon you over the carpet occasionally if you pull them nearby.

Re: Walkthrough: Chardock Ring Quests

Got my 2nd ring yesterday - got sinew waiting in the bank. Wondering if anybody can answer a few questions:

1) Can anybody confirm that you can turn in the ring to get it recharged?

2) Is there any dialogue you can trigger to get him to say that he can recharge it?

3) What are the faction hits you take for recharge? I read one post where they said it was -BroodOfDizok and another where it said it was +BroodOfDizok.

4) What is the spawn time on Drusella? I've read conflicting reports - 24hrs / normal spawn with ph / 2-3 days etc..

5) Has anybody done extensive hunting in Chardok after getting the ring - and then worked the faction back up? I'm thinking that if the recharge gives +BroodOfDizok that just recharging the ring is an easy way to repair faction. Also wondering about the magnitude of faction hits on mobs like King and Queen.

Thanks.

Re: Walkthrough: Chardock Ring Quests

1 - Yes, done so many many times now.

2 - Don't recall doing any, but I believe his dialogue when you initially recieve it and any subsequent recharged versions indicates this.

3 - +DiZok, -Collective, -MountainDeath

4 - we camped her pretty steady for >2 months on Druzzil, respawn was 4 days, almost to the hour.

5 - It looks like the hit from the ring is about .5 - 1 point of faction one turn in. Killing a regular sarnak while max faction and doing the turn in 5-6 times didn't get me back to max. You could likely get it back, however, if you drop below the initial faction to get the ring, he won't return it to you.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

DS used to have a "regular" rare with a PH, but with the introduction of Vellious, it changed to a 3 day (minus a few hours) spawn time.

Best way to check is to send a rogue to her spot and look-see. 2nd best way, live at the zone in and ask people constantly which wing and her status. That's how I eventually got on her cycle. Once you're on it, you just have to keep doing it and it'll come.

Based on other comments, the above seems inaccurate. Drusella would have switched to a 24 hour static spawn before the +/- 3 day spawn. This comment does reinforce the claim that she started as a regular named w/ placeholder, however.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

Anyone got a spawn time. Had a druid camped at zone in, killed tuesday night at 12pm pst, she didn't repop till 8pm on friday. That's a 68 hour spawn time for one round on Tribunal. Anyone else timed, or just going with the random spawn theory? She sure isn't 24 hours though, and if she is, it's not consistent, cuz i have been in HS saturday and sunday at 8pm pst checking track.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

Here's the lowdown on Spawnrate of Drusella. Spawn has been changed many times since kunark came out...but thanks to the fact she is druid trackable from zone in, here is the deal

The last 3 spawns on tribunal have been....

68 hours

72 hours

68 hours

This is checked every 2 hours from zone in (no i don't sleep much) and Drop rates to this point has been 1 in 4. I wouldn't call it a 25% drop rate quite yet...as this is a low sample #, but i think we can determine that the spawn time is around 3 days +/- a few hours. There is no PH. In the room there is one static undead spawn, and 4 golems w/2-3 roamers. So, i wouldn't recommend camping in her room hoping to clear a PH. You will however, get a couple pairs of ES boots of Mort Protector!

Additional evidence well out-of-era (but before HS revamp)

Re: dotdotdot

I just got my urn on saturday.
All 3 times ive killed her since the quest was put in play she droped the urn. There was just always someone there that needed it also, till now. The urn can't be all that rare, that or my trips down there just have been fortunate, and others persons unfortunate.

She is a 3 day spawn. level 60 pulling with sneak dosen't mean bubkus for DS room (with or without her up), bring a FDer or an enchanter who can handel 6ish mezed mobs. Done it with and with out FD person, much easier with....

Edit: Of course all 3 of those times we got the wussy rod of obligations as the item drop from her, 1 kunark spell, the mirror for whatever quest thats for, and of course the urn that I mentioned.

Re: HS

Shes a 3 day spawn (72 hours) with a 7 hour variance. That means she can spawn anywhere from 65 hours to 79 hours from the time she is killed, just like the angry. She can be tracked from zoneline by rangers and druids, but NOT bards. I confirmed this personally when i took her down ;) had both a bard and a druid with me. 1 good group should be able to take her, shes really pretty easy. Only tough part is getting to her. Shes in the east hall, so theres 2 ways to get to her. #1. Get SOE (or sow and lev), and get on the fire pots near the south wing doors. Run real quick over to the east hall, and you should be able to get up. If you can't you have to go through the south hall.

Fuzzy Timeline

- Kunark release to ~mid Kunark/possibly Velious - Drusella on zone respawn timer (with PH)
- From the above timeframe until Chardok revamp - Drusella on 24 hour static timer (No PH)
- Chardok revamp (Oct2001) - Drusella on multi-day timer likely with some variance (No PH)
