Can anyone solve this P99 forum puzzle?

How do you keep an idiot in suspense?


BY NOT UPDATING THREADS!

None of the above folks... some of you are on the right lines and in different ways.

This NPC is in a fairly quiet area of Norrath, in a zone bordering a city, and casts spells.

Highest level outdoor kobald I can think of:

I've never seen that kobold in my life, guess I need to get to Innothule more often [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's not him/her but a good guess.

In case anyone is joining late or doesn't want to scroll back a few pages...

Neeeext...

The hardest of my ilk, could I possibly be?
In the far reaches of the land you can find me.
While a pushover for some, I must admit
My strength will make the locals submit.

Freely I wander in this quiet place,
Not claustrophobic there's plenty of space.
Trackers are helpful, that's for sure,
If you're questing for my loot you must be poor.

Who am I?

[mcoy]

Damn. I'm going to have to concede. Guess I'll join A/A. They seem to be good at that...

Edit:

Red99 doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy spawned by Swish.

Edit2:

Does a proc count as casting?

People conceding, I'm surprised. I guess people haven't spent much time leveling in this zone...and no not Bloodgorge [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Going to give the forumites 3 more guesses/posts before the reveal. I'm sure everyone knows the NPC at least in passing.

You were hunting for...

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Redwind! He's a wandering SK mob in Everfrost, level 27ish. Casts SK/necro spells, harm touches. I don't know a higher level orc (the Shraloks are all below him) in the P99 era.

If you're questing for an Ivy Etched Bracer at this point in the timeline its low value/not easy to sell.

Leveling Barbarians coming out of Halas might run into him by accident while scouting the open area making him dangerous, especially with that HT.

I think this went on because barbarians are underrepresented on P99 (versus live) as Halas/Qeynos/etc are effectively deserted areas [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]



EDIT: Maybe Ortallius(who we've had already) has a couple of levels on him. I might have goofed and not thought it completely through [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[Coeur]

I don't think he wanders here too!

Actually, I'm certain he doesn't from past spamming sense summoned to see if Lich of Miragul is up in Everfrost.

P.S. I was going to guess Iceberg before i said i wouldn't guess again in this puzzle...he kind of fits if a druid is looking for a supreme polar bear pet.
