Farming for wraiths - any suggestions?
Aug 25th, 2012 at 1:14pm
Print Post  
Trying to kill 7,000 wraiths is not gonna be fun if I can't find somewhere that they either continuously spawn or there are a shit load that are easy to get to quickly.

I tried using level 1 hirelings sacrificing themselves to spawn more wraiths. While they do spawn wraiths when they die those created wraiths don't count towards my total, nor do wraiths created via the create undead spell (when the Dread Wraith that's summoned kills something, it spawns a hostile wraith).

Shadow King has about 20ish wraiths who respawn, but there's a lot of other shit in there I don't care about, and it takes a while. Deleras part 3 has 6 easy to get to wraiths, and I can reset the quest over and over, but I don't relish the thought of doing it 1100 times.

Any suggestions?

just wait. its a long term goal. if you farm them now youll probably want to farm for something else in the next book and it might even be the same dungeons

if you do shadow crypt enough on your trs you'll get it

nice thinking with the sacrificial hirelings haha

mirra's sleepless nights has 4 that spawn on elite every time you go in. shadow knight can be hopped into, jump down, kill the hall of shrouded terrors, recall out, reset quest... not sure if either are better than delera 3

There's the quest in Jorasco ( in the building not far from Mirra ) I forgot the name, but IIRC there's more than 10 wraith in it.

But honestly, beside Delera 3, I don't see where there's swarms of wraith.

I assume you mean Haunted Library.  There are wraiths by the puzzle that respawn.  Unsure of the exact mechanic, if it is automatic or if you need to mess with the puzzle for them to spawn.

New to the DDO store : monster manual count boost !
Those special pots will bestow an effect on you that increases the number of monsters you've slain according to your monster manual. Availible in +33%, +50% and +66% versions.

Aside from that, I haven't found anything better than delera 3 on a sorc while having someone flagged for part 4 in party so you can gain SP back in "return to delera's tomb" quickly.

Each rune you light up spawns 2 wraiths. I couldn't get the to re-spawn, or spawn more than the initial 2 per rune.

No, Delera 3 has a bunch of wraiths that everyone just runs past. I think that's what he's referring to.

There's a House K quest with 4 named Wraiths. It's a 1-2 min run even at level.

You do realize that once you start making headway towards your goal, you'll hit a bug that'll wipe out your kills.

The full list is a bit larger I think, as different types can have the same name ie. "Wraith" is listed several times for different mobs. The full list is something like this (names are weird as these are filenames in my tool):

(mn_arkasic_dryden)
(mn_ashok_khalidan)
(mn_callin_fornan)
(mn_colvis_hammercrush)
(mn_darek_garent)
(mn_deathshade)
(mn_delera_omaren)
(mn_delera_omaren)
(mn_dread_wraith_lord)
(mn_dread_wraith_pratol)
(mn_dread_wraith_wizard)
(mn_dread_wraith)
(mn_dread_wraith)
(mn_edeva_yllka)
(mn_giant_wraith)
(mn_hand_of_olladra)
(mn_horus_hammercrush)
(mn_kervan_naret)
(mn_marguerite_dryden)
(mn_marguerite_dryden)
(mn_morrigan_xirazdyn)
(mn_phasing_wraith)
(mn_phasing_wraith)
(mn_shade_of_agony)
(mn_shade_of_despair)
(mn_shade_of_destruction)
(mn_shade_of_hatred)
(mn_shade_of_madness)
(mn_shadow_guard)
(mn_shadow_king)
(mn_shadow_knight)
(mn_shadow_lord)
(mn_shrouded_terror_mage)
(mn_shrouded_terror)
(mn_soul-lock_guardian)
(mn_the_soulless_warrior)
(mn_timoty_jorem)
(mn_varlan_the_pitiless)
(mn_vault_guardian)
(mn_waine_brousch)
(mn_wraith)
(mn_wraith_mabar_event)
(mn_wraith)

Edit: Ok, I'm wrong, the mob definition got a new entry which is monstermanual_variantoverride or sth like that, so all "wraiths" are likely mapped to the same entry. Sorry Tongue

Ohhhh!!!!  That could be quite helpful, thanks Rodrak!  So, um if you get the urge could you look at bats?  So far we have only been able to identify/find 10 types and it's making me kinda batty :p

*also, thank you very much for all the info you have been giving us, for someone who doesn't play the game anymore you sure have been doing a lot of work!

Yeah, that's causing a few bugs like wraiths counting as "Ashok Khalidan", I've apparently run Purge the fallen shrine 3227 times.
Same for bats, found 12 types of them, but three of those are in different settings of devil's assault, and they all count as one type, so we're 2 short.

I can't check it, but based on their DIDs "restless bat" is likely in "a small problem" somewhere, "khyber bat" is somewhere in U14/U15 as the did is very high and between monsters unfamiliar to me (together with "khyber hellhound" too), "bat" is even higher (added later) so U14/U15 too, it doesn't have hard/elite versions and it's hitdice is set very low so it's most likely in a challenge.

Thanks a lot for the answer, looking for them right now.
Didn't find any "restless bat" in small problem, even if there are other restless stuff in there. Will try other diffs because that quest does have monsters that only spawn on higher diffs (named wolves at the end).

Khyber bats, thinking servants of the overlord, will have to check. That quest does have khyber hellhounds, can't remember bats tho.

Plain bats... Don't remember seeing any even in challenges. Maybe lower levels, will check again.
