I have found the best way to do these without massive bodies is to use my 120 Disco Bard to disco, have one greater attack it, and 2 mages heal dragon while the tamer remains offscreen. I even have the perfect place to do it, and have been doing up to 15 crystals a day. If you have the crystals, and can come up with the dragon and two mages, I will gladly disco the summoned dark thingy for ya. Its great for training Dragons at the higher levels.
If you need help popping your crystals, icq me and Ill show you where and do the disco. I don't charge, and like to do them. ICQ is 396712406 _________________ "Always speak the Truth even if it leads to your death." - Lord Godfrey |

You can also spawn them in areas with creatures that attack low-karma things. Super easy this way, too. _________________

Has anyone popped an Oaks in Ish or Fel and see if it will attack the Habringer? Would be cool to see that battle..though think Oaks would lose due to the acid attack. |

They do sell.
I was debating on saving a few of mine for a guild/community event at some point. _________________

Worst idea ever. All that happens is a bunch of twinks come in and get the robe. _________________ (4:45:41 PM) Jarem: It becomes increasingly difficult to feel noble in my causes when my cause is to defend my charge from her own violent tendencies. |

That's not something that's coded into UO This can happen no matter where you spawn it. People usually do this during less active times. It's worked very well so far. Yours is the only problem I've heard of. _________________

is to take it to a deserted Isle, of which I have a rune. One tamer with a greater, and two tamer mages with lots of aids and mana, and my bard discording it, and it takes no time at all. We all party and the owner of the crystal takes first loot. Tamer sic's the dragon on it and runs to other end of island. I disco, and we all heal.
I have gone to Etheral Fortress at 3 am and summoned and discorded it. Can you believe that people actually hide there waiting for you to do that? well they do, a whole guild showed up called in by one hidden there.
I have also done at oaks spawn, and it never made it that high to summon oaks, but even discorded it went through the spawn pretty fast. had to call in friends with dragon to kill it. _________________ "Always speak the Truth even if it leads to your death." - Lord Godfrey |

Well they're talking about having that good karma spawn help you kill him... But I feel the down side of potentially having those good guys provoked onto you isn't really worth it. Is a fun baddy no matter how you do it though. |

Question for those familiar with the Harbingers.
I was planning on popping a few at the City of Umbra event on the 18th. Since I haven't been brave enough to do it as of yet.. I have some questions.
What can I expect after I click the crystal?
Can they be popped inside a town? (I've heard they can be guard whacked.)
Is there any time delay between popping multiple ones? _________________

Double click and it appears.
Guards will kill it [as a point of interest what are the guards in Umbra?]
No delay, a well known thief popped ten of them outside a guild house of a well known guild on Atlantic. |

I had 33 yellows left. I used the turkeys from the thanksgiving event to kill them. Provoked the turkey on them and it killed the Bringer. Was actually quite fun. Used all of the yellows and got a few robes from it. _________________ "Always speak the Truth even if it leads to your death." - Lord Godfrey |
