Farming Reflective Smoldering Shard with solo brigand

Leks · 01-21-2008, 05:19 AM

Heya Bros,

I'm willing to make the AA mirror. I got some standard weapons, nothing ubber (Nathsar sw, Anaph, Arbiter) and would like to try and switch between WIS/STR and AGI/STR aa lines.
So I decided to start farming in Chardok (can't solo in KC and Seb is overcrowded and boring).
I killed plenty times those solo mob on zoning but nada, nothing, zero.

Any of you got kind advice on farming Reflective Shard ? Better place ? Better mobs ?

I'm not a raider, stuffed with some common Legendary stuff, Thuuga quest done, Phylactery, book and totem from KoS for mana/hp regen. All CAs Ad3 with some crappy T8 master.

Thank for further feedback.

Edit :
D:\Program Files\EverQuest2\logs\Mistmoore>grep -c "killed a Bathezid" *Leks.txt
215
Is 215 kills really not enough ? do I need to continue farming or lady luck is a bitch ?

I saw the first smoldering shard drop this Friday in Chardok, but it was deep down in the 84-86 heroic castle area. Had a group going to hunt for blue shiny ?s, while clearing tons of mobs!
Never seen anything in Seb of the frogs, and i have been there a fair amount of time...

All the reflective shards I have looted (2) were from the froggies in Sebilis. Just the beginning ones. Farm those. I told one of my guildies and he farmed them for an hour or so and got his.

I'm lazy, so I used platinum to loot mine off the broker. ;)

QFE

my suggestion for now: farm somewhere else, make money, use that to buy a shard. while masters are still going for a lot early in an expansion, it's probably easier to get a duo together and farm the shit out of karnors or something than wait for a shard.

Last time I checked, price was between 45pp and 700pp.
Sure I'm lazy, but not crazy

215 mobs is nothing tbh.

AE group is cheat0rz :P

More seriously, the hardest part in fact is not getting the shard ... the hardest part is to find something clever/intresting/funny to respec out of STR/AGI
