Anyone done this lately, and can tell how they have had any luck finding it up? I need this but cant seem to find it up ever, due to it despawning itself.

Tried it about 20 times, never ever seen it up.
Killed the ML2 warmaster or whatever it's called which should (according to some people) spawn the plant when he dies yet nothing.
Better try putting another necklace in your template because getting this artifact is near impossible unless I am missing something.

If you would have done a search you would have seen this.

The Armsmaster in ML2 is squat all to do with the eternal plant encounter. Also the VoS/Mirror site info is wrong so ignore it.

Not sure what level this artifact is activatable at? (anyone know for certain) as i would like it on my friar.

The plant spawns alright. Then after a while it gets harvested and the mob appears. Kill mob+zillion adds for credit.

You just have to keep checking the spot...
We killed the ML2 arms on Pryd once and it spawned on Excal... can't be right. So armsmaster doesn't help I guess. :m00:

It really wasn't that hard to find... so long as you're looking for the plant and not the mob.

I camped that spot, both exc and pryd, for two whole month. During this time, i found it up 7 times. I did the encounter and never got the artifact to drop. Now when 1.82 was released, it was just to hand in the book and i got the arti. And by "finding it up", i eighter spotted the plant or the boss himself was up. This is probebly the worst encounter in the whole game to get, because this very annoying thing:

This is the only artifact encount i know of, that despawns if not being killed!

Do some really heavy camping! Have a char logged on both pryd/exc over the fields where he spawns. Check the camp, both exc/pryd once an hour...



Info that might help some:

- ML2 Sobekite has NOTHING to do with this encounter!

- If you see squids/barracudas etc swimming over the field - this means the encounter is down. However, the plant Eternal Plant can have spawn without starting the encounter.

- When plant has spawned, it needs to be harvest before the main boss spawn. In the field of seagrass, you'll find lots of bluecon (to lvl 50) Sobekite Harvesters. They roam around the field looking for the plant constantly. When they find it, they call for help so all harversters will zerg the plant. When they've started harvesting, it takes about 10 before the plant dissapere and the main boss spawns.

- When looking for the plant, swim around over the field of "seagrass". The "seagrass" below you have a dark/brown color. The Eternal Plant is much smaller, less the half the size of the other grass and has a brighter/glowing green color so can easerly be spoted when swiming above the field.

- The plant is F7-able (closest object).

- Sometimes the plant spawns outside the harvesters aggro range. Then you can start the farming yourself. Pulling the harversters, swim to the plant and let them kill you. When you've died, they will aggro the plant and the encounter is about to begin. Ress up and get yourself ready.

- When the boss spawn (can't remember his name) you'll see a large orange con named Sobekite. He's guarded by 6 yellow con smaller sobekites. They look similar to Nailah's Robe encounter. It also spawn LOTS of other sobekites, but are not binded to main boss. These mobs are all yellow to lvl 50.
The squides and barracudas will despawn.

- When boss has spawned, you'll have 1-2 hours to kill him. If not killed by this time he will despawn. Respawn timers is said to be 24-48 hours, but the longest repop i ever saw (unless someone killed him when i was sleepeing) was 6 days...


* = I have no idea what "sjögräs" is called in english. The bad smelling green stuff on the bottom of the ocean. :)

Hope this helped!




Having EP on heretic is OP. I can tank 2-4 assassins, /use2 and watch my HP go up, rather then fast dropping down ...

Cant disagree with this statement, EP is stupidly OP on a tic, but hey mythic allows it, so i say lets make hay while the sun shines. BTW the Ring of Unyielding Will isnt a bad item either for a tic (assuming you can fit it into a template).

Oh yea, forgot about one thing. When you pull the main boss, you'll have to kill 30-40 yellow cons. He will yell for help so all sobekites in the area will add. It's very easy with blockbot and a wizzard tho. The main boss will stop taking dmg at ~50% hp. After 30 sec u can do dmg to him again. At 5% hp he will use ip or something, so he's back to 100% hp. After that you can kill him at will...

The "IP" heal the boss uses is the Eternal Plant itself. He uses it up. If he IP's on you, there will/would be no arti drop. None of that matters now anyway :/

Good thing this encounter gets nerfed in 1.83d, hardest arti to get.
Not that the encounter is hard but the fact that the damn thing despawns, they should change it so it wouldn't despawn imo.
