Old Man Willow
Location: From hunting place near Bombadil's house: w n 2w s 2w n w n 2e (exits mudlled) Strategy: He is the mob that loads the blue crystal - a component that is needed for all foci items. He hits very hard - about 50 damage. He is not aggressive, but if you attacked him at once, fled and came back - he hits INSTANTLY. He is a legend mob, and solo player will get 100k xp for killing it.
For thief: stabbing him is piece of cake as he have very bad awareness. Just stab/flee.
For mage: cast shield; {cast armour; (control weather until lightning; store 2 calls; unstore em on willow; sleep full) x 2} - until dead.
For warriors: cleric sanc warrior with max wil, heal him during fight, no attack spells, just plainly hit it to death.
For buffer+casters: plainly nuke it to death, usually in 2 rounds. He's smart mob btw, and if whole group re-enters, he will not hit the buffer but will pick a caster (maybe lowest hps). That's why it's good to send buffer in first on second round.
For charmies: charmer goes in and orders all 'hit willow'. After that all casters unstore their mana on willow while it's killing one butterfly per hit!
Level: Legend thief; legend mage with call lightning; hero thief+cleric with sanc; some warriors+legend cleric with sanc; hero buffer+cleric with sanc+ +several mages; legend buffer+some mages; 4+ mages, one of them with 12-15 charmed lev1 mobs (like snakes, butterflies, etc - the higher is charmies level, the harder is to charm that much).
Loads: Blue crystal (Aramel).
