Events and Raids
Ikaav Ixvet Pox
Size: Unlimited, 3 BiC quest pieces per kill.
Respawn: 24 hours
Trigger: None or Giving the Serving Tray and Poisoned Fruit to Abena Taifa (see below)
Ixvet Pox spawns in a room with 2 Aneuk Controllers, a Colossus of War, and 6 Construct of War. The Constructs and Colossus are inactive and both the Aneuks and Ixvet are permarooted. If you attempt the fight without doing the Poisoned Fruit subquest in Breakdown in Communications then once the Aneuks are agro they will activate the Constructs which can quad for up to 600 and are immune to snare, root, mez, and charm and are tethered to the room. If you do the subquest the poison will prevent the Aneuks from activating them greatly simplifying the raid.
With the Constructs taken care of you can deal with the Aneuks and Ixvet. The Aneuks quad for 850, immune to mez, and cast Cleric spells. Ixvet quads for 1200, flurries, is unslowable (unconfirmed), and casts Wizard spells. When either Aneuk dies or when Ixvet reaches 50% health the Colossus of War will activate and charge the raid. The Colossus hits for just under 2k and is unslowable too. There are reports that if they Aneuks are killed at the same time the Colossus will not activate, but this is unconfirmed. When all enemies are defeated you can break open Talwin's Remains and find 3 Talwin's Final Report for the Breakdown in Communications quest.
Ixvet drops 2 of the following:
