Eternal Plant

you gotta camp it if you want to see it up as it 'despawns' quite fast. when it spawns, pull one of the sobekite 'somethings' to the plant, don't do damage to it tho. When sobekites have harvested the plant, soon main mob spawns, pull him asap so you wont get all adds at once. necro + bb should work fine.
This is all the info you need on the encounter.

The Plant can spawn anywhere in the kelp and it can be auto activated if a seeker finds it before a player. Also Sobekhotep definately despawns after a certain period of time. So it could be bad timing that you dont find it up.
Also: This maybe doable with a necro buffbot combo but you sure get alot of adds!

Repped, for being the closest one to a verified guide. Cheers Gethin.
Seems the basics are :
Find the plant up
Get a harvest to it
Make the mob spawn
Take it out with tank group
Get credit
Get scrolls
Activate your brand new arti

Ok be aware that you have 6+ bodyguards which need to die before sobektop and anything from 25+ to 50+ adds. 50+ if you are unlucky.
Imho, the best setup is to have a servant necro do most of the killing with a ML9 pet for backup. PBAOE Casters nice to have too. Dont fight sobektop either in the kelp or over the top of it, make sure you pull him + adds to the side away from any potential spawn adds.

Did this yesterday with the following tactics.
The Plant is green (as opposed to the brownish kelp) and spawns somewhere on the edge of the Kelp forest. Kelp is seaweed, if you didn't know. Once you've found it, locate a bluecon Sobekite Seeker and pull it. Kite it to the plant.
This will now spawn Sobekite Harvesters. Stay back and let them hack away at the Plant for a while. It's rather slow,
When the Harvesters are done Sobekhotep will spawn. For us he was orange con and had 2-3 yellow con bodyguards. Don't let this fool you! As soon as you pull him all the yellows in the area join in - and trust me, there are a lot of yellows.
So, eventually we had a minstrel solo pull out of group. When he passed us necro would pick out Sobekhotep and focus him. From there it was a piece of cake.
Big thanks to Tze for doing this with me.

Repped this one too, as I was wondering if it could be done like that. I tried yesterday aswell with the classic idea (2 guarders, 2 icewizards, but only 1 cleric) With 50 mobs comming at you, cleric lagged too much and things got messy and we failed
Edit: No more rep points going out now
