Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone wants to go phial farming with me. I need this item for the enyalio's boots encounter and someone told me this item could be farmed ahead of time. It drops off of centaurs and about 5% of them randomly drop this :bandhead:




This is the whole encounter. I hope the person I spoke to was right saying you could farm for this ahead of time and not after the encounter was already activated.....I cant see them making you farm in the middle of encounter though.

Enaylio's Boots:
Along the south wall of Arbor Glen towards the eastern corner is a "floating" island with pretty designs on the outside. Inside are two of Enaylio's Guardians, and a chest that requires a key. Talk to sphinx #1 and you get a really really long riddle. Talk to #2 and he says talk to #1. Now, if you go and farm mobs in GG/AG for a while you should come across a small crystalline phial, which can not be traded to players, and if dropped it shatters. I'd estimate about 5% of centaurs randomly drop this, as it goes into your inventory automatically, and you see a text saying something along the lines of "You found the vessel to which the heiracosphinx referred!". Now to find the jinni (answer to the riddle), go to 29, 12 in AG and search for Behrooz the Jinni, who might be a night only spawn. After killing him, return to the sphinxes and they'll congratulate you and ask you if you are prepared for battle. When you say yes, both come to life and totally owned my group so make sure you have a decent amount of good players. They use 90 a tic dots and move pretty fast, and since its a small area its kinda hard to kite. I assume that killing them gives a key for the chest, which I further assume has the boots.

"You found the vessel to which the heiracosphinx referred!".

Why would you get this message when it dropped if you have never talked to him.

I know, I thought the exact same thing. But he said he farmed for it did the encounter and got wiped, then farmed for a new phial a second time and was waiting to get peeps to do the encounter again? :WTF: Maybe he's drunk.


It seems like you need a good sized grp for this. It seems kind of wacko that you would have to have the whole encounter grp stop and farm for something that only has a 5% chance of dropping. This is so confusing.....I wish the strategy was clearer.

I think I'll post on VN and see if anyone has done this.

I bet Jandar was one of those little boys that always stuck his tongue out........you brat!! :P :rofl:


On VN two people said to talk to the thingamawho first. One said that what I read about the phial only having a 5% chance of dropping was kinda low. He said it drops more frequently than that.
