CALL FOR HELP: Lich of Miragul
 

I'm a level 30 shaman - I've been running around the Everfrost cave since yesterday trying to get the glacial bear to spawn so I can get my totemic helm (I've been running around getting all the quest items for all the totemic). No luck yet - killed a ton of ice bone skeletons, but didn't even see any wandering skeletons, which are supposed to be placeholders for the bear.

Until tonight. I saw an ice bone skeleton, started killing it, and next thing I see is "Lich of Miragul starts to cast a spell". Suddenly I'm getting owned by a red-con necromancer and his pet. After running around and floundering for a bit, I died.

Respawn, get my corpse, decide to log for a few hours. Come back on, see another wandering skeleton, start killing it, look around extra-carefully, no lich in sight ... and the same thing happens. I run around for like 5 minutes (I have SoW) bitching in the IRC and in /ooc, looking for someone to save me, and ultimately resign myself to my fate and let him kill me again (I couldn't zone out since I'd have to swim, and I couldn't gate out since I wouldn't have the time to channel it). Except this time Uthgaard's nice enough to rez me and turn me into a jack o lantern.

Which I certainly appreciate, except this lich is still running around potentially hogging my bear placeholders. Apparently the lich is needed for some sweet paladin quest, and I wouldn't want to deprive any paladins of their spawn which is several times rarer than my bear spawn, so this is an alert and a plea to anyone who IS a high level paladin or KNOWS a high level paladin: your lich has spawned! PLEASE KILL THAT ASSHOLE.

I approve of this message. Hell, RANTS & FLAMES approves of this massage! Somebody go massage Miragul so he stops being an asshol.e.

Gate is your friend, SoW boy.

Try reading my post instead of not reading my post, asshole.

Killed my bear and got my pelt. Of course, I got jumped again by the Lich of Miragul on the way out, but at least I'm done with that cave. I swear he must walk around invisible or something with how many times he's come out of nowhere; usually I'm pretty good about avoiding random aggro. Now I just need to get a few more pieces, make some medium banded, and I'll be all set.

Interestingly, this time, his pet was an enchanter pet instead of a skeleton. Actually, I think it might've been a skeleton just before he aggroed me and then he summoned an enchanter pet when he aggroed.

He is supposed to be like...super powerful, maybe hes a chanty/Nec :)

I think the lore is he knows all the int caster spells. Someone had explained it on Allakhazam when I looked it up.

he has an extremely wide aggro range mate, thats whats going on...as soon as he comes into view he aggro's it seems. glad you got your pelt though

Honestly that cave is a nightmare for any mid level shaman. You need fucking binoculars to see his aggro range.

Yipes, that would explain it. I would say "pack a few IVU potions" but there are placeholder ice bone skeletons (I think) that need to be killed for the bear to spawn sometimes, so you're still liable to get owned by the lich. I guess the solution is just to let paladins know when the lich spawns so they can kill him for you.
