Quest Issue: Shaman Epic: Iksar Broodling in PoF

[Dentalplan]

I've been doing some research into the earliest implementation of the Shaman epic. Some of the sources I've found suggest that the Iksar Broodling spawn mechanic was different than the version we see here. Here's a link to a late 2000 walkthrough of the Shaman epic, it even lists the pre-upgrade spear stats with the effect as a proc.

Plane of Fear ( Loot and Run ! )

à Kill Iksar Child in Plane of Fear in the little pyramid at LOC ( -630, -360 ). Respawn time is (currently…) 60 seconds and hes level 1 and got about 15HP

Loot : Child`s Tears

And here's a post on Allakhazam's page for the broodling:

As has been mentioned - this MOB is required for the Shaman Epic.

The spawn rate has changed. Originally it was a 60 second spawn. Now of course you have to kill one of 3 'mini-bosses' on the Plane of Fear.

I haven't found anything that suggests the golems were part of the Shaman epic earlier than the 2001 revamp of the planes that made them more serious minibosses. I'd guess that's when the change happened.
