According to a post on community forum, which does not specify if the poster is talking about live or blight server:
Aughundell Outfitter Trainer gives out a quest for kwellen hide armor!!!!
He is unsure whether u need to be level 80+ or 90+ Outfitter to get it.
You are asked to get a piece of intact large kwellen hide which drops from "Son of Gigaroth" rarely and in return u get a processing form that allows u to create kwellen hide strips.
It requires tanning 800 to scribe.

Arcat - check it out please!

Any volunteers for Son of Gigaroth? (I heard u need several heavily multiclassed and a few dragons for good measure to kill it...only hearsay though Did I mention he regenerates?)

if this would be an Outfitter only quest I will be heavily pissed!
Man!

I do not have a high outfitter level, nor do I think I will ever get that.

seems I waited too long for new armor types... sniff

Relax Meta
nothing of this is confirmed yet, except for the pics of the formula

Ok, I'm really alerted now.
We see Gigaroth tonite?

Arcat

The Quest I did get is flagged as - Outfitter only, Level 90 required.

But don't worry meta I'll try to get the Quest a 2nd time heh.

Arcat

Aaaaaargs

And there you are Armorer and Tailor and what happens, the make quests for Outfitter only

Kind of odd why they would reward a hybrid craft school rather than the specialist school...

Anyways, let me know when you're going to smack up the boss mob so I can join the fun. Let's hope it's not too soon tonight as I'm having a barbecue at my sister's place.

Hi,

Well there's is still chance you can do the Quest again when you trade the Form to someone else. We'll figure.

Lovice: I'd love to check this out tonite, when is the BBQ about to be eaten? I think Claws got only time till ~10pm cet these days?

We should also take Z with us - he's been there many times.


best,
Arcat

welcome to our board Joaqim (I think we should ask Joaqim along if we are going to take a shot at the boss of boss mobs)


Whereever did you get that idea?
I usually play from 5 to 7 and after 10 pm these days. (7 to 10 usually is diner-and-get -GF-to-bed window)

I have to admit I have never been anywhere near this Son of Gigaroth guy.
All I know is he has some 150k hp and is an overgrown kwellen.

Today is as good a day to be rezzed as any! How about trying tonite at 11:00 ?

23.00 CET sounds good, I'll try to get away fom the BBQ in time. But I may need a small grace period of time to figure out the hotkeys of my various attacks...it's been a while after all.

He takes some time to take down, I remember it took 2 hours with a group of around 6. The difficulty is that he often decides to regen health at around 4000 hp a second which can make for a longer fight

well results so far:
2 mass crashes
down to 56k hp before last crash
13 dp for me
6 for finder

Hi All,

Here are the piccies, there's quite a few as i can't choose between them!

Sor - official SoG Photographer

This was some battle lol

14 DP here


edit: I'll analyze the battle log and report back which attacks did hurt him most and which type of damage he does.

Maybe we can figure out a tactic with this (I'll do tomorrow tho)


best,
Arcat

noobs!
you should have waited for me!

Banish Armor on Son of Gigaroth! and there he goes... if you keep the battle going for at least 15 minutes I can cast Banish Armor again!

Don't mess with the son wihtout meta!

I'll be around tonite and on the weekend.. soooooo

Son of Gigaroth is taking revenge for yesterday's attack.
He just showed up at my usual fyakki place and sromped me into the ground
(far away from the scene of yesterday's fight, never seen him there before)
->50 min death penalty

Yeah that was my thought too: "where is meta our meathield?"

Hehe, wil be there again today - zero deathpoints again!

Well those with the huge DP numbers should better should start to go mining Essence of blight to avoid bad side effects

lol Claws - Son of Gigaroth never forgets!

13 DP here atm.


best,
Arcat

Wooooot! )

I guess I was a bit late....

yay, good news... and one question the Kwellen Hides, do they drop or is the SoG also harvestable? Maybe I should bring a taning blade with me for next atempt
If you all are back in the mood for beeing slaughtered, I'll be on in about 2h guess

Hm.. anyone tried to gather the Hide alive?

best,
Arcat

He is not harvestable, and the Kwellen hide is only the resource used to make Kwellen hide strips. At max eff its 2 hide per strip. I have a feeling the strips will be used to make armor later.

The quest to get the formula to make these strips requires the trophy item from Son of Gigaroth, a very rare item to get sadly. It is called an Intact Large Kwellen Hide.

I guess the sell/trade price for the intact Kwellen Hide will rise to Boar's Mask value

Quest done.





Talked to Manga about any other forms - right now we can only make hide strips.
No other Formulae ingame.

best,
Arcat

Grats!

I am envious...

Info: those Kwellen Hides - the resource which is needed within the form, also dropped to me from a T5 Kwellen today - it also might be worth a try to hunt T6 Kwellen for that if needed

Checked after latest patch, the resource form quest is now open to everyone with lvl 90+ craft rating and 800+ Tanning skill
Damn I need the large hide now
