[Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locations

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

Stupid Miner, I think I've finally got the mini-champ spawn areas from the Publish 60 notes matched up to their respective areas on a map. If you follow the order in the notes and start with the first area you encounter after entering from the Underworld, they seemed to match up well.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

The Skeletal Dragon mini champ seems to have these levels:

Level 1: Skeletons and patchwork skeletons
Level 2: Skeletal knights and bone knights
Level 3: Skeletal mages and bone mages
Level 4: Skeletal liches
Level 5: Skeletal dragon [renowned]

I managed to lore two of the skeletal dragon [renowned] and got these stats:

skeletal dragon [renowned]

121 ex
562 int
155.5 barding

99.7 wr
98.8 tac

They dropped about 1500 gold, 5 old-style gems, and various magical items.

Fire Temple Ruins Mini Champ Spawn

The Fire Temple Ruins mini-champ spawn seems to have these levels:

Level 1: Lava snakes and fire ants
Level 2: Lava lizards and lava serpents
Level 3: Hell hounds and hellcats
Level 4: Lava elementals and fire daemons
Level 5: Fire daemon [renowned]

Fire daemon [renowned] had these stats and dropped about 1300 gold along with magical items:

1414 hit points
1095 str
197 dex
164 int
154.4 barding difficulty
68/72/57/100/44 resists

96.2 wr
96.9 tac
134.4 resist
31.9 anatomy
97.4 magery
96.0 eval int
37.6 med

The essence dropped on mobs at this spawn is Essence of Order. Lava serpents drop Lava Serpent Crust. Fire Ants (and maybe also lava lizard or lava snakes or I'm just losing my mind or playing too much) also drop Seared Fire Ant goo.

Lands of The Lich Mini Champ Spawn

I'm not quite sure this is the exact order in which these monsters appear, but at least this will give you an idea of which monsters are in this spawn area:

Level 1: Bone Knights and Skeletal Knights
Level 2: Wailing Banshees
Level 3: Bone Mages and Skeletal Mages
Level 4: Rotting Corpses and Skeletal Liches
Level 5: An Ancient Lich [Renowned]

Stats for the Ancient Lich [Renowned]:

2234 Hit points
286 Strength
115 Dex
1002 Intelligence (yes, 1002)
Barding Difficulty: 160.0
Resists: 63/26/60/51/25

96.7 tac
192.3 resist (yes, 192.3)
0.0 anatomy
121.3 magery

100.4 meditation

Loot: about 1600 gold, lots of necro regs, 2 magery spell scrolls, magic items.

The monsters in this spawn area drop Essence of Direction.

Gotta love spoilers, no need to play like the devs would have us do !

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

The reasons I have been posting information are to try to convince people to (1) come back to UO and give it a try again; (2) purchase the expansion if they've been unsure it's worth it; and (3) get out and see for themselves what's included in the expansion instead of just going with the flow and camping the "hot spots" for some item or just going to the place that's the easiest to get to or has the easiest stuff to kill.

People who want to find stuff for themselves do NOT need to read these threads.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

Oh you're right... I'm not critisizing here.

It's just philosophical for me, not political... the way not even 1% players actually like to find stuff for themselves.

I have personally refused to buy SA because I'm a 1998 beta vet who's been paying for a long time, been a companion for EA and I have been gleefully ignored and even refused for the SA beta, for some reason which has not even been divulged to me.

So I think you are doing a great job, if you ask me, and your intent shines through all the negativity I carry.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

I got this as loot from a renowned fire demon. Its a stack of crossbow bolts.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

Did not get anything interesting from it, but here is the Pixie Renowned (although it is Silvani's art)

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

Are all of these in the Fel rule set? If not' witch are and are not.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

Hi all! We just finished doing the ratman spawn circle... thought I'd add to this list.

I didn't see a ratman archer on the renowned at all and I only saw an archer on at the third spawn. Did anyone else notice that the 2nd level of all three of these spawns do not attack you? They just wander around. Also noteworthy... unlike past spawns.. after the champ pops, the level one's continue to spawn and attack, ie- wolf, rat, scorpion. Also, the first and second wave on each spawn is easy, one to three hit kills depending on damage. It's the third level that has high HP's and yeah.. the Renowned seems to have cornered the market on hp. I tried to lore them but it gives me question marks until it has low life. At about a 10th of it's life left, it still had almost 8k hp. I'll try to renew this tomorrow.

Clan Scratch information is the same as yours. The renowned name was Tikitavi.. his corpse said clan chief. So far that name has been the same all the times I went.

Clan Ribbon information... the third level is Clan Ribbon Courtier. All the clan ribbons are spellcasters and drop magery regs and necro scrolls. The renowned has a short lived, area attack plague spell that does a backlash when you cast offensive spells. The name of the Renowned was Vitavi, also clan chief on the corpse. Also.. the plague rats give gold... around 28-32 ea, one of them had a lute on it.

There is a third spawn that you don't have listed.. Clan Chitter.

Clan Chitter (harder of the three spawns)
Level 1- Clockwork Scorpions (drop gold and poison bottles) (Will poison you... not fun as they attack en mass)

Level 2- Clan Chitter assistant. (like the other second levels... don't seem to aggro you, they just wander around)

Level 3- Clan Chitter Tinker. (archers...)

Level 4- Rakktavi "renowned" (corpse said clan chief)

This one is harder than the others due to the poisoning from scorpions and the archers. Best bet is to kill what you can by the bridge (one towards clan Ribbon) and then lure the Renowned onto the bridge. THe scorpions attacking drop to a minimum as they seem to spawn heavier towards the clan scratch bridge. Also.. I didn't note the color of them.. but they seemed normal... We're going back tomorrow so I'll get pics.

Over all NOTES- The rats dropped the essence of balance, lodestones, arcanic runes, various powdered ingred., Delicate scales, Abyssal cloth and I got magical blackrock (or something like that). The Renowneds had NOTHING on them. 280-300 gp and a few odds and ends. Nothing special.

Re: [Spoilers] Stygian Abyss Creatures' Special Loot UPDATED: Mini-champ-spawn Locati

I don't think any of the mini-champs are Fel Ruleset. I believe only the new champ areas are. The map posted shows two areas, one at the top, and one at the bottom. Those are the only Fel areas that I know of. I could be mistaken.
