New shield...

[Raxnein]

So as the title says, I am looking for a new shield and noticed Trushar's Guard (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=33498), and thought I might attempt it.

The two mobs that drop is are Vrex Indra (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=15660) and Tiv Ashmmi (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=15661). Has anyone attempted these?
Is the risk/reward worth it, or is there a better shield out there that is soloable?

[Aegrusnecrox]

I've done both, they're soloable if you're able to lifetap tank mobs that hit for around 1000 or so damage. Otherwise, might wanna bring a group. They dont do anything special, just summon is all.

What general lvl did you solo them at?
I am 66 2.4k hp and 4.5k mana unbuffed.
Magelo (http://eq.magelo.com/profile/1339706), anything you have to say about this would help immensely.

do 69.1 hard until Blood Defender (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=83823) drops would be easier and better imo

[Raxnein]

Nevermind, thought the question through =P

[Raxnein]

Dang, didn't really think about the whole flagging thing Doc. Thanks =/

69.1s it is for me

correct Doc. The exp is fantastic if you can kill fast enough and steady enough for it to be efficient. You should look into grabing a couple other necro's or kiting classes so you can attempt to get the shield.

If you can get a group and go to Icefall to kill Snowblind (iirc his name) then you can get a shield that has BA6.

Im still using the shield from 69.1. Its a really good shield, good luck getting it. B)

Hey Filter, do you know how hard a kill Snowblind is? Also how rare that drop is?

Snowblind Info (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=22786) ..On the 7th hammer the globe sells for the retarted price of like 500k.I'd imagine other servers are just as bad so you may have a little trouble beating the farmers to this mob.

Not a whole lot of info there about killing him. Guessing at my level/gear that I cannot solo him though, especially with adds. Magelo is a bit outdated, but not terribly far from where I really am.

Everyone on my server is equipping their alts and bots with this:

Battered Shield of the Fallen Guard:

I guess it's pretty easy to get, but i never looked into it.

The Blood Defender requires lvl 70 to use. I would suggest getting to 71 and in the meantime faction and xp in Icefall kill bears for bear pelts (you need four pelts to get http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=52393) or spiders for xp after you get 2 of the prior link you will have enough faction to get: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=55180
