Fire drakes typically drop 1-4 gold, fire drake scales, putrid bile, and/or cheap gems in any combination. |

These creatures generally travel in pairs, are much more dangerous than their alleged level or con would indicate, are the reason that firebuffs were created, and they aggro like crazy. |

These guys have a nasty stun spell, not advisable to kill them unless you have at least a partner to do and take damage while you are stunned. |

Sometimes these guys drop a bronze two-handed sword. Very nice loot for a 8-10 lvl mob. |

Correction...This guy is on the island in the middle of the zone. The four npc's at the camp near the zone to Butcherblock are all around lvl 20. I know because they con'd blue at lvl 22. Also this particular guy is a DWARF. Ok just thought you should know. |

The stun spell is *extremely evil*. I tried to solo an even con basilisk and usually didn't get a chance to hit it between stuns. Needless to say, I died. Watch out with these. |

For a wizard that is at least level 26, these are easy. First remember that they spawn every 6 mins 20 secs, so you can med and not worry about it spawning. To fight it, 1) stun eye with tishans. 2) root pet, 3) nuke eye dead, 4) nuke pet dead. Easy to do, unless pet breaks root. Also, try to ki |

I'm a druid, level 31, and I've been soloing these guys with ease for 1 and a half levels now (I started soloing these guys at 30). There is NO WAY it takes 40 minutes to kite them. It actually takes about 60 to 90 seconds to kite them (90 seconds is ideal, as your longest DoT will stop working at |

Area effects |

Their fire effect, though it doesn't do that much damage, relatively, is an area effect, so any mobs near you when fighting a drake will join and kill the drake, and take the kill. So, if you pull drakes, pull them away from lava crawlers, and other stuff. |

I've noticed these also seem to have classes. Some attack with "Madman strikes you for x damage", meaning those are monks, and some cast ignite, whirling wind and burst of fire, meaning those are druids. Possibly some other classes, I dunno. Though for some reason, the druid madman attacked me, and |

The cooks are Shadowknights and start the fight with a Harm Touch. There are 2 cooks and one random spawn in the kitchen. It's best to have someone with high hitpoints go after the cook first. Also, 2 clerics are great in here. An evac person is also nice, especially if some "farmers" are runnin |

Yes, at one time, they did give faction. This was about 11 months ago, and when I started playing, too bad they still dont give any. |

Be careful of the pumas in Steamfont. They seem to be of a somewhat higher level than pumas encountered elsewhere (around 7 - 10)

The no-rent feature is no longer in effect. Don't know if it was a glitch or what, but I KNOW I didn't kill all 3 on the same log. Soloist is much nastier than lyricist who is nastier than composer. I killed a composer without help (7 lvl shaman) and only lost 1/2 bubble health. Continuing on my way |

They are pretty easy for their level. Level 36 ones hit for about 74-76 max, miss pretty often against a decent ac, and are good xp. |

I would love to know the spawn rate also. I camped this room for about 3 hours. No cooks spawned. Tho one other critter was there on the right wall when you walk into the room. Once we dispatched that, nothing else spawned after 3 hours of waiting. |
