Wiki doesn't have news on where to find this elite yet. So, my question obviously is where do I cap this? Does anyone know?

julien · Nov 06, 2006, 01:59 AM // 01:59

I dont know either ... I post so many thread about that.. Mystery Elite ... zzz

crucifix · Nov 06, 2006, 05:07 AM // 05:07

well, if you remember in factions, there was an assasin elite that did not have a cap point when the original game was released (i think it was assasins promise). the same problem is hapening with crippling strike also. i dont the monster has actually been put in the game yet. maybe we'll find ebon dust when we find the 15th hero.

z00mgz maybe they will put more avatar bosses in then... hopefully..

crucifix · Nov 06, 2006, 05:29 AM // 05:29

doubt it, the avatar bosses are exclusive to those areas for a reason: 5 areas, 5 avatars, 5 castles, 5 caps... seeing a trend yet? I think ebon dust will be great for pvp, not to fantastic for pve tho. there are much more useful (an practicle) elites out there.

And, you know, five gods.

Unless they add Avatar of Abbadon! =o

Ya I've been keeping my eye out for this one as well but I haven't been able to find it either. I am working on my second character through it and I am taking the alternate storyarcs with this character maybe I can find it there.

Beat the game, talk to the Lightbringer NPC in the ToA-esque area in NF. The NPC will teleport you to an area (apparently).

Note, this is not confirmed, but a friend said that this is where to cap the elite.

Cogline · Nov 13, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

This is incorrect i believe , i've beaten the game and there is no such quest , the masters quest at chantry of secrets ( available after doing quest to visit shrine) is at yatendi canyons area and spawns no boss. Shame as i really want this elite , unlocked it with faction but i'd like it for pve character also.

No, what he heard was speculation, and until a devolper publicly states that EDA will not be implemented in PvE until the update, that's all it is, 100% speculation. Hearsay. Rumour. Misinformation.

(kind of like the "ohnoz don't click teh mad king" garbage; seriously, would anet really implement the mad king in a fashion that you or i could prevent his scripts from running? please...)

So yeah, reference, link, screenshot or GTFO as they say. I'll be doing every Vabbian quest I can find and going over all the areas with Enchanted Brambles in them with a fine-toothed comb until we have some FACTS about EDA's whereabouts. I'm 289/290 elites capped with my skill hunter, and I'm not going to stop hunting EDA because people "heard" that it's not cappable yet.

EDIT:
My question to ANet:

Quote:

Greetings,

I, along with the Guild Wars community at large, have been searching Nightfall for a boss which uses the dervish skill, Ebon Dust Aura. Its location remains a mystery. I am submitting this support request not to have its location revealed to me, but to:

1. Bring to the attention of the developers an elite which may have been left out of the game, similar to the cases of Crippling Slash or Assassin's Promise.

2. Gain verification that a boss with this skill actually does exist in the game and is reachable, or gain verification that this boss was accidentally/purposefully left out of the game.

Thank you very much for your time, and I hope to hear from you very soon! Until then, I'll be hunting Elona for this elusive creature!

Regards,
