Killing epic mamoths in Atzels
Posted: July 3rd, 2008, 3:31 pm
This only applies to the Epic mammoth Boss in Atzel's Approach. I haven't tested this in the last 2 patches but it worked find early last week.
Go into the epic version of Atzels' approach, and head over to the mammoths. The epic boss there doesn't attack, he just chases you around. You can solo this boss over and over, and he drops some nice loot. He drops 1 piece of blue and a few junk greens. I got my full ravager set from him as well as a few of my friends. Make sure to pull the boss back towards the kill as there are some wandering elites that will kill you.
Now, here's where this boss gets interesting, and this should work for all similar bosses.
Assuming no one else is in the EPIC version of the instance, you can reset it. You can do do this multiple ways, but the fastest way is as follows.
-Kill the mammoth.
-/Camp
-If you have a party of more than 1 players, make sure to keep track of who logs out last
-Once everyone is logged out, start a timer, 3 minutes.
-Log back in.
Repeat
If you log back in and you don't see him, but you still see your loot, there's 2 reasons. Either you didn't wait long enough or someone else is holding the instance open, which there is nothing you can do about it.
I was doing this forever when the 70 blue set pieces were worth selling on the AH for 1 - 2g. They aren't worth much now, but you can vendor the belts, boots, bracer's and shoulders, everything else is vendor trash.
He drop 8 - 25 silver a kill. Not the fastest gold grind, but you can solo it since he doesn't kill you.
