He is hungry, hungry Hippo.

If you mean Furious Wodjin, he is difficult of course, but he is meant to be. We recently had one of our OP guilds on Reni go on Wodjin rampage - within less than 30 mins all 3 channels Wodjins were dead, and yes, all 3 the Furious versions.

He is hard, not impossible.
-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

We were farming him fairly easily everytime he was up until we got to the level that five proofs wasn't worth it any more. Same with TB South boss. They're hard but far from impossible. I believe VVV farms them now. At least hippo.

Ok seriously, does regular wodjin even spawn anymore? When the server came back up was furious on all 3 channels on Artemis.

People complained the quest was too difficult so they added regular forms as kills but then take out all the regular ones...
YEAH go 15k hp lv60 you can do it!!

The regular ones spawn only after a kill of the furious version.

Therein lies the problem. The rewards aren't good enough to tempt those capable of doing Furious wodjin to actually kill it, and those that want to kill it aren't able to. Hence "normal" lvl 57 wodjin doesn't really spawn anymore. Level 57 Wodjins should spawn after maintenance, not the 75s.

It was pretty cool to have VVV go on a Wodjin rampage last Friday evening and broadcast it via a bunch of world shouts that the body was being held so people could use their beacons. Maybe Heretic could follow suit and do the same thing this upcoming Friday evening. :D

It would be really awesome if some of the OP guilds on each server could put something in place to unofficially do this at least once a week and if possible let people know about it ahead of time. I'm sure there are a number of people out there that have leveled a new toon or re-rolled an existing one (myself included) due to the recent bonus XP weekends and would love some help in getting their 60 elite quests done.

Yes furious wodjin is hard, but not impossible. I was part of a group many months ago that took it down with Borella tanking. That was fun!

You're not going to be able to take it down with a small group of badly geared toons. But if you can get a whole bunch of fairly well geared folks there and actually WORK TOGETHER it is possible. Having them all work together is usually the really hard part!

I agree the lvl 57 version should spawn right after maint, only problem with that is you know it'll get killed pretty quickly if that were to always happen.
WTB name change on my alt toon due to P/S IB nerf.
