Natimbi, the Broken Shores

Overview

Natimbi is the first adventure zone in the Gates of Discord. Mobs here go from the mid-40s up to the mid-50s with gear drops in the 30-50 hp range. The passageway to Qinimi to the north is the only way forward at first, the exit to Kod'Taz and Madronoa's portal to Qvic both require progression work to unlock.

In addition to six loot dropping rares in the zone there are two zonewide rare drops, Talisman of the Spiritseer and Shell Inlaid Collar. These seem to drop about 1 in 1000 kills (or worse).

At midnight game time a zonewide emote goes off "A muffled roar echos in the distance." which means the Cragbeast Queen has spawned. If left alone she will despawn at 2am (so six minutes real time) but while awake watch out, it is a level 70 raid boss that quads for 4k.

Events and Raids

Cragbeast Queen

The Cragbeast Queen is an endgame raid for the expansion. It spawns every EQ day at midnight and despawns if unagrod at 2am, if engaged it shouldn't despawn. She can quad for 4k damage and has AE rampage. In addition to the substantial melee she can proc an 80% snare, hit everybody on hatelist with a 200 mana per tick drain that also snares, and an AE 200 dot with attack debuff that makes Complete Heal take longer. She also buffs herself with a 40% chance to reflect spells and mitigates melee damage heavily from all sources except piercing.

She has a 4.5 day respawn when killed. Instead of dropping direct loot she drops 3 quest items from this list:
