I play a Magician as my main character and I REALLY wanted to get my Raging Servant pet, so I put a lot of time into trying to figure out how to cheat my way through this mission. Siddin and I play 5 accounts which we are trying to build up to be worth a damn since most of our old crew got banned around this time last year, so in the meantime we have to bust ass just to do what most would call trivial. Because our toons are significantly undergeared we could not do this mission as it is intended to be done, but we DID find a way to pull it off all the same. Here is what we did that earned us a mission win here.
Shroud someone into a Kobold Cleric or use the group's cleric. Only the cleric should zone in to begin the mobs from the eggs seem to have some funky zone-wide aggro and will warp to anyone in the zone and kill them. Once the cleric is in, use the Divine Aura and warp to each egg to open it, then /gate out. Knowing the locs to warp to ahead of time is useful, but a /warp target hotkey works as well. Once all the eggs are opened, the mobs will path back to the eggs and stay there while not aggro'd. Once all eggs are opened and non-aggro the group can zone into the mission and warp up to the boss area. Zone in is far enough from the egg that you will be able to zone in without getting aggro from the mobs sitting at the egg.
Pull Vish from downstairs up to the top of the ramp. No tricky pulling methods are required thanks to the slow movement of the shades in Vish's room. Just tag him and run up the ramp waiting. The other mobs are so slow Vish gets up there alone and you can /fade after he is tagged. Vish spends a lot of time casting so he is not too hard to take down, we managed him quite easily with a 10k 1500ac buffed warrior and a 6k mana cleric. We went all out DPS on him with 2x mages and 1x ranger. When we killed him, we got a zone emote about besting the blades of the librarians and knew we were onto something as that is the kill message from killing the blades in the egg.
Apparently when the eggs are opened and you kill Vish, the coding assumes you killed the most recent egg spawn because *normally* you cannot open the eggs without killing the previous eggs, and somehow it thinks all the egg spawns are dead, and yet you also get credit for killing Vish. The kicker is that Vish has a respawn in this zone of 1 hour. Just hang out in the top room on the side and wait for him to respawn, when he does, you kill him again and apparently the mission thinks you killed Draygun because you get a mission update and cursor loots! Siddin and I did kill Draygun twice while waiting just to farm his loots, but I do not think it is neccesary as neither time we did kill him did we get any kind of task update, we did get task updates both times we killed Vish however.
Good luck with this one and I hope it works for you as well as it worked for us. If this post is at all helpfull to you, toss the Red Cent at Tone, or Z, or any of the other great coders that gave us the tools to pull this off.
