Bard Epic - HELP!
 

So I posted this over in the melee forums but it's not catching much light of day. I'm currently attempting to camp the drakes for the bard epic (Blackwing, Eldrig the Old, and BW Drakes). I'm currently on Blackwing and he doesn't seem to be spawning despite clearing the entire area that he's supposed to spawn in. And when I say clearing his area I mean devoid of every single mob there barring the sphinx. Any ideas / tips as to what is currently going on with this spawn? Any bards or friend of a friend know a bard that has accomplished this step recently?

If I remember correctly, the placeholder is a nonroaming mob that spawns by the tree in the area designated on the wiki.

If you check the wiki, you can find his exact spawn location. He always spawns in one place, you sometimes just have to kill the PH a bunch of times.

Yup had the same problem, go over and pull every wanderer that isnt a hill giant, skeleton or cyclops in the hill giant area and kill them too. That did the trick for me. :D

And ya he roams, and he roams OUT of the drake area... ^^not classic

So there's two conflicting stories here. Wiki states a static mob and others say he roams....Which is it? I have literally wiped the place clean of mobs....Does this mean I have to branch out and try to kill anything even remotely close in the zone?

static mob thats on the wiki is the right one, ive done it a million times farming the cloak thing that drops from the other named that spawns there.

There isn't a static mob there, which is my problem. Was it removed? I haven't seen any static mobs in that area. There's a mountain with the sphinx on it and all the mobs that spawn east of it in that little vale all roam around. The only static spawns are north of the mountain. Unless I'm high those coords do no match up with a static spawn currently.

Just looked at the coordinates and they look pretty right compared to the map. Theres even a picture on the bottom of the page. http://wiki.project1999.org/Blackwing Ill check it later tonight when i get a chance for you though

Look at the wiki and follow what it says. That worked for me, think I had to camp it for a few hours at least. IF the mob roams, he will return to his spawn point, and he has a fast enough respawn timer, so just be there when he pops and kill the ph before it leave. gl
