Description

Composed of rock, the gargoyle is a statue come to life at the hand of an ambitious mage. Mostly irate at the world and grumbling to itself about anything from the state of the Elven nation to the weather, the gargoyle does not look so much inclined to fight as it is to curl up in a corner and look frightening. Still, it knows its task as a protector of its creator's domain, and will do its best to keep invaders from treading on its turf.

In Depth

Very similar in most respects to granite gargoyles, quartz gargoyles are more challenging foes. They have higher attributes, are more skilled combatants and seem to hit significantly harder than their granite kin.

Area Information

Quartz gargoyles inhabit the Talas Sagamat mine in Fang Cove. The area is indoors so they start advancing at pole range and usually spawn in packs of two. The area is only accessible by Estate Holders. Although non-estate holders can join the sea mammoth to Fang Cove, only estate holders may leave the building where the mammoth docks.

• Defenses: skills in the high 160s to low 170s lock relatively quickly yet allow for safe mining even when engaged with four in melee. Mining dangers pose the greater threat (08/02/2016). Learning slows at 185 and soft caps (1/34) at 190 (06/24/2014).
