Elite skills locations !
Update : Xennon made a nice page with elite listings, including maps to bosses. I redirect you to it for your elite needs : LINK
-------------------- As far as we know, the elite skills are no longer available via trainer nor via quest rewards.e The only way seems to be to capture them from bosses using them. To do this, you use the Capture Signet skill, that you can buy at Skill Trainers, starting from Denravi, or by a quest in LA. So the goal is to make a list of the Elite skills used by the different bosses in the various areas. Pattern : <SKILL> (<AREA>:<NAME_OF_BOSS>[<TYPE_OF_MONSTER>]) And the more information the better... People helping to complete the list : I need your input on the ones you find, but PLEASE, only reliable information. If you're not sure about one, please check it before posting. About bosses that don't seem to have elites : After Ascension, we can assume they nearly all do. But you don't see stances and instant ones showing on the "Skill Used" bar... but they still can be captured (read at end of page 3 for info about that). Mesmers : if you have Arcane Thievery (and Arcane Echo while you're at it), it might be a good idea to spam it on bosses that doesn't seem to use elites : probably a stance that you could identify that way... People looking for their elite : Remember that a large part of the bosses are selected randomly for each mission : there will always be a boss at a specific place, but it may be a monk boss or an elementalist boss, for example. So you might have to restart the mission till you get the class that has the elite you want. People not knowing where an area is : MAPSw Thanks to Cain & Typhoon for the nice layout  ------------------------------------------- Elementalist Air Magic Earth Magic General Energy Storage Fire Magic Water MagicMesmer Domination Magic Fast Casting Illusion Inspiration GeneraMonk General Divine Favor Healing Prayers Protection Prayers Smiting Prayers Necromancer Blood Magic Curses Death Magic GeneralRanger Beast Master Expertise Marksmanship General Wilderness SurvivalWarrior Axe Mastery Hammer Mastery Strength Tactics Generalb ------------------------------------------- You can check that old thread (please don't resurrect it) for complementary infos on some locations : LINK Last edited by Xma; May 24, 2005 at 07:59 PM // 19:59.. |

You capture skills by using a signet of capture, which you receive from a quest upon first reaching Lion's Arch. the NPC's name is Magi.

To clarify on the location of Oath Shot, it is used by the Jade armor monsters that are called "Jade Bow." You can find this skill in the Iron Mines of Mordugh, on the "T" shaped bridge that has three entrances. This bridge is found after you pass the Dwarven buildings where the troll spawns are located.
One side of the bridge leads towards the caves where the "Seer" is located, while the other side is a shortcut that leads straight to the final boss location(incase you already have the enchanted armor). Past this shortcut is a spawn for a random glowing boss, and the Jade Bow boss type has a chance to spawn there. If you fight your way past the bridge shortcut and you see a different type of boss in the spawn location, then you need to reset the level. Poison Arrow can be captured on a glowing grawl named Salani Pippip, located in Whitman's Folley. Upon zoning in, follow the path east until you reach a large clearing full of Grawl packs, where a random grawl boss will be located. If you do not see Salani Pippip in this area, but a different grawl boss instead, then you have to exit Whitman's Folley and re-enter to reset the zone. Marksman's Wager can be captured in two places. During the Thirsty River Trial, the final three enemy teams will include a green skeleton boss that uses this skill. You can also find this skill in the Elona Reach mission, on another skeleton boss that is by the bridge leading to the western crystal. Last edited by Typhoon; May 07, 2005 at 12:01 AM // 00:01.. |

Here's my contribution to the list. It's simply a re-formatting. When you copy this out of there I"ll delete them from this post so as to not confuse people.
EDIT: Added Mesmer skills EDIT 2: Added Necromancer EDIT 3: Added Ranger EDIT 4: Added Warrior. All done for you. EDIT 5: Skills removed.

I've found lots of elites in the zone due north of talus slope. The place can be nasty, but it has the elite giant boss who has a warrior skill, multiple shadow bosses-there is one place where I find 3-4 shadow bosses and one humanoid boss all together, like a pack---bizarre. THe shadow monster bosses are monk/necro/elementalist/mesmer. You can also get two different blessed griffin bosses, one is a monk, the other is a fire elementalist. They both have elite skills. Witman's is a great place for some of the skills, as it is small and you can do a loop of the 4-5 bosses real quick, to see if the one you need is up. I've seen ranger/necro/elementalist and mesmer bosses there. I picked up the following yesterday before I read this: Melandru's Arrows. Poison Arrow. Marksman's Wager Shield of Regeneration Spellbreaker Word of Healing I almost got signet of judgement from a shadow boss(monk type), but accidentally got some other spell he was casting(doh doh doh). Jade Bows use oathshot, so if the pattern follows, there will be a jade bow boss using it somewhere too. Kind of hard to look for, those jades are nasty. I haven't seen any mob use barrage, so have no clue where to start looking. |

Poison Arrow is definately in Witman's, fyi. The mob's last name is Pipi I believe, she is one the humanoids. There are two boss mob spawn points for her mob type, one around the ramp leading from the upper ridge down to the shore about 1/3 of the way in from the zone, and another all the way out to the end, up top, near the collecter woman.
I got it there yesterday and just got done taking somebody else there to get it. They were ranger/ele, and picked up something off of one of the shadow bosses too, and grabbed Conjure Lightning in Camp Rankor, so it was good trip all around. |

That war skill is earthshaker, fyi, and the mob is in the far nw corner of the zone directly north of talus slope.
There are shadow spawns around him, plus a boss shadow just a hair south, so choose your approach wisely. I didn't know he was there, ended with both bosses at once, it wasn't pretty. My henchmen probably burn me in effigy when I am offline. |

Nature Dragon in the dragon mission is bugging me. It should, and probalby does have an elite skill, we just have to figure out how to trigger it, or maybe submit some type of bug report.
Looking at the list of elite skills, only the following do not seem to require a bow: Practiced Stance - Worthless unless he has another stance, which I doubt, since he never uses it either. Spike Trap - THis would fit in with the slow everything down nature of the level, maybe he has this. He'd never be able to cast it while we were on him, though, due to interruptions, so it'd have to come before combat which is how othe rmobs use it, but he seems to be coded to not do anything until conflict is initiated, which rules out the normal trap-setting window. Muddy Terrain - Trumped by pin down, especially since he won't chase anybody more than a few feet, much less an entire group. Greater Conflagration - Doesn't make any sense, unless he has really high fire resistance. Escape - This would be good, but if he had it, he'd probably use it every chance he got, which he doesn't. Melandru's Resilience - See Escape. Looking at it that way, I figure he has spike trap or muddy terrain, but sees no logical reason to use either when he can spam pin down at the only people who get in range of his melee attacks. Can you tell I am bored at work? |
