Skyfire Mts Rare Cycles
The upside is that the zone is rarely crowded. It offers level 49-58 casters and druids a place to solo and get spells. There are also two named cycles of mobs similar to TT. The rewards are spells instead of armor here. The downside is the Ring of Scale faction hits. Do not expect to be able to run through DL after hunting here for long without becoming a Gorenaire snack. You also have to be careful here because mobs go wherever they want, so running along the wall doesn't always mean you're safe. |

There can only be two of any of the nameds up at any time, and they are sometimes hard to find.
Any of the nameds can be on either cycle. One cycle has a 30-sec delay, the other has about a 1 min respawn delay.
The nameds drop spells more frequently and more rare in nature than other mobs in the zone. Felia is needed for enchanter epic and is a tiny chromo. She is attacked by some of the mobs in the zone, so her lifespan is usually short. She is a very tricky pull when she spawns because she tends to hang around a lot of mobs, and she has to be led back to a safe spot for a chanter to charm her and turn in an item to her. The Guardian of Felia is supposed to somehow be tied into "protecting" her. One of the best ways to pull nameds is to have a tracker use invis to get to the mob. For example a Ranger can pull any of the nameds from anywhere by being invis, waiting until it's clear, then shooting an arrow using a long-range bow and then running back to the group at the BW zone. |

| These mobs will always summon, and are not on the named cycles, they are just rare. Eldrig the Old is required for bard epic, is a chromo and is always level 51. Talendor casts an incurable dot, he also has a large agro range and usually if you can see him he'll be on you. Any of the nameds can drop the Book of the Immortals needed for Monk epic. |

Fear-kiting is the recommended way of killing these mobs. Snare is a must, then have a Necro, SK, or Chanter fear while rogue pets and fast-melee classes attack them from behind. Chromos have an AE dispel/dot, but they can't cast it while they are feared, so it's good to overfear them by recasting every 15 secs or so to reset the fear timer. Old wurms, mature wurms, mature wyverns and the other higher level mobs near VP are good about dropping rare 55+ spells as well. Other mobs that can summon. A Lava Walker (about 70% of the time)Elder Wyvern (about 95% of the time) Shadow Drake (about 30% of the time) Skyfire Drake (about 80% of the time) |
