I'm trying to get the bow from Drago Stoneherder. I've seen a link in a previous thread that shows his location, but how do I really get to him. I've been farming the bosses that spawn in Grenths, but now I want to try the other bosses. Do I have to take a particular quest in the furnace to get to Drago Stoneherder, or can I just kill everything in the furnace without taking a quest and still get to him? I've used the search and read thru many posts with no luck finding this information. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

You can enter the Furnace and happily cruise around killing everyting in sight. Hint, hint ... the longbow is your friend ...

I found him yesterday when I went down one of the paths I hadnt completely been down. I havent been in a clearing group and havent been all the way through yet, but I know I can find him again. If I see him, I'll take note and post directions for you back here for you if someone hasnt already. I have a nice map in the makings too when I get around to finishing the work in Photoshop instead of playing. ^^

I'm wondering the same for Malinon. Havent seen him yet.

There are specific boss spawn locations, but the placement of the bosses is random. So when you find a boss in one area one time, he probably won't be there the next. Just go in SF without taking a quest, and the Stoneherder should be around somewhere. Most boss areas are fairly easy to get to, with the exception of that one area in the jungle with all the res sigging Dredge. If you need help, when I'm on I'm usually roaming around SF looking for my Razorstone. Yes, my Razorstone.

This did happen.. luckily... we left him to die Later killed all the mobs and resed him... bet he felt like an idiot.

As for the boss, ya just go in and kill everything, though it will truly take some time to actually get him to drop it. I don't know why, but I have the feeling that the bosses inside SF drop their greens less and are also harder to find. So in the end its not green that matters its the name!

Grrrrrrr, the Dredge ... and if they don't fight, they reproduce ... the developers sure wanted to make sure we don't run out of them anytime soon

So, If i dont talk to any of the dwarfs outside in Grenths footprint before going into Sorrows Furnace and if i dont take any quests I can still get thru the main opening when you enter Sorrows Furnace and bosses will spawn with random groups? I'm confused about that, because I've killed mobs in Sorrows without ever seeing a boss spawn. Maybe I didnt go deep enough to find them, or there is a certain senario that makes the bosses spawn.

If you go into SF without taking any quest people, all the bosses spawn in one area or another, I think (I can't count past 10...) Bosses spawn in specific locations, namely: near the High Priest Orozar quest area, the area with Tharn Stonerift (who also gives you a quest to kill 6 bosses, an easy 6k exp), the smasher area (once I saw Handsmasher get smashed...no drops), the "cold" furnace area, the "fiery" furnace area (for lack of better names for them), and the deep jungle area (which with the ressing Dredge isn't worth it). There are probably a couple other areas I'm missing, I usually go on a couple of loops to take the easy ones, so I don't tend to think of what areas the bosses are in.

I have that bow and would be willing to sell it as my ranger already has 4 bows. This is also my ign.

I guess i was lucky,..i got the vamperic flatbow first try. getting rid of it for a reasonable price will be more difficult though:-)

Drago was in the same place twice for me. enter SF go left at the first intersection and right at the second. he was standing to the left of the third. maybe youll find him there too.

If Drago follows the pattern of all other bosses dropping "green" (unique) weapons, then he should have THREE bows. I've been googling all over the web, browsed forums and auction websites, but I can only find TWO bows from Drago Stoneherder.

This is the very last item missing on the GuildWiki List. Stoneherder experts, HELP us to complete it!

Both his bows are highly sought. I have been lucky enough to find two of his sundering Flatbows, which I sold for 50k+ each.

If he drops a third bow, I haven't heard of it. It would be extremely rare and expensive if there is one.

Drago's unknown bow is 1 of only 4 green items i have yet to collect. Im begining to think he only has 2 bows.
I have never come across anyone that has seen it.

Drago is my evil twin brother and has stolen my birthright. ever since i have been on a personal quest to reclaim what is rightfully mine.

that being said, i believe that he has a 10/10 sundering bow and a 5/1 vamp bow. i know the 10/10 exists but i have yet to c the vamp bow or any other drago bow. Thorgar (or how ever you spell it) has a very nice bow drp as well
+15%w/ enchant 10/10 with a 20%enchant grip.

i got lucky and got this one for my ranger when i did the Orozar quest. I also saw Rago drop his flame staff when i did Orozar again but it was for someone else. As for my ranger she has this bow now and Thornbeard's Horned Bow. Keep doing Orozar quest and u may get lucky.

I have never come across anyone that has seen it. Either the devs screwed up when programming it in or there is no third bow. Someone who claimed to be an alpha tester said Drago had a recurve bow too, but he couldn't distinguish between a ranger boss and a warrior boss, so I'm not inclined to believe him.

EMRC, is that right? I keep forgetting Gargash when I'm trying to mark off all the bosses during Orozar. I guess I forget about Boulderbeard when Drago is around.

Yes when i first did Orozar Gargash Came with a wave and so did Drago i believe as a second ranger boss did come and dropped a bow but we died before the person it dropped for could pick it up so i don't know who it was. On that Orozar run Rago did not come out. When I did the quest again a necro boss and Rago came and that is when he dropped his flame staff for someone else. I have not completed that quest so i don't know if they all spawn or it's just as random as the bosses that spawn in GF.

I'm the same way Savio I see the boss i want and don't take into account the other bosses that came. Not that I don't help out the people it's just i don't take into account the name or spawn point because i don't care for his weapon.

Ok,
I farm sf a lot and I always see Drago when i can run my full route. You go in and head towards the MAIN ROOM. The one with like 50 monsters and usually 2bosses(hass the dredge patrol group of 6) clear the 2 bosses pulling group piece by piece. (sometimes drago is in that room very rarely though) go through the south gate. Head towoards u see Molin (the guy u can trade enlavment stones for) Now u can go left and there will b 2 bosses down their lots of time stoneheart and razorstone is down there, but if your just going for drago take a right at Molin. Head down the route take a left. Go across the bridge. You will see one boss on the right kill him if u want. Keep going and eventually you should see drago with a goup of like5.

This is all dependent on if you havn't taken a quest. If you have i think drago will be through the gate on the right in the MAIN ROOM. use the gear go through the door and u should see a big gazebo type thing with lots of stairs and he should be down there.

Actually, about going into SF with no bosses, I don't think there's a set spot for any particular boss. There are just set boss spawn locations and the bosses are randomly placed in them. I've encountered Drago in quite a few different places. I also think there aren't enough boss spawn locations to allow all of the SF bosses to appear, so seeing Drago during a normal SF run might not be guaranteed. I'd have to do more testing on this though.

However, it is pretty much a guarantee that Drago will appear during the Orozar quest, although there happens to be one boss spawn location during that quest in the farthest reaches of the jungle area that is a little tedious to get to.

Here is a guaranted way to find drago,
Go into the MAIN ROOM take the Tharnstonerift or whatever his name is, quest. Once you have done that there is a door in the south east(bottom right) where the dredge patrol group of 6 stops at. If you go through that door you will see Drago at the bottom of a big pillar with a bunch of stairs. (It's nice to have a ranger with a longe ranged bow on this one)

I can pull almost any boss from the bottom withought agrovating big groups.

He still hasn't givin me my bow!

Only exception "seems" to be final assualt, in which case pre-set boss combinations spawn.

At least during the Orozar and Final Assault quests, the bosses are tied to mobs, so you'll still end up pulling them. Oh, and anybody can run around with a Longbow-type bow. My Warrior with a Longbow seems to work just fine.
