Isle Of Refuge – High Chieftain Kryx – Great Loots (Eq2 scout)
July 18th, 2010Before leaving the Island of Refuge, make sure you head up the High Chieftain’s tree and take out his posse and Kryx himself.
After killing Kryx you receive a treasure chest full of goodies. Namely, a Gruttooth Circlet, an Iodizite Shell Shield, and a tome of the Artisan Merchant’s Armor Volume 7.
I was able to solo these guys rather easily being maxed out on the island, and with ranged attacks as a mage. Not recommended for anyone under level 6.
If you’re a mage, a good strategy to use solo is to immediately target Kryx and cast Arcane Bindings on him followed by a quick Static Pulse. This will keep him locked down for a bit while you focus on his minions. Ensure to use the Heroic Opportunity Granted to you at this level (Cast Arcane Augur, Followed by two Lightning Bursts). This will help you kill his helpers quickly, and leave plenty of energy to spare when taking out Kryx himself.
The best part about this, is after killing this little tribe, if you run all the way to the top of the incline just around the corner from their spawn spot you can repeat it all over again. Attempting to confirm if the same drops can be acquired multiple times. Will update within 15 minutes.
