Wood Golems.

[Sindala]

One thing i've been meaning to ask but keep forgetting.
What has happened to the Wood Golems? they used to live happily in their wood which i know has been 'tagged' into the T2 revamp but now its just a very empty place.
Nothing grows to be harvested and nothing wanders around to be hit.

Was their something else planned for this area that didnt make it live?
If so can we get the Wood golems back, i know they wern't usefull but i hate to see mobs become extinct without good reason

[AmonGwareth]

What forest are you talking about? T2 peninsula is super populated now.

Wood Golems were a totally pointless mob. Sorry.

[Sindala]

Really? the area where they used to be and all the blighted areas that branch off it were empty when i explored, i even stood still alot to give things chance to spawn. The only thing i found remotely near the area are Diseased deer corpses (harvestable though i dont know why yet) and the spiders around them.

[AmonGwareth]

The Goranthis Forest? You should have seen Acivulara Scavengers there.

[Sindala]

Not certain now what its called, i'll have another scout when back ingame.
There is a maze of gulleys and small canyons to walk around but nothing in them and a new blighted area thats not on the map yet again with nothing in.
I think the scavengers are the new name for the spiders, again i'll check later

Am i missing a page hear ? there is no recollection of wood golems in my combat dictionary

Even if they did exist at one point it would not make any sense as to the lore of golems being moving chunks of minerals / earth trees are not earth thus there can not be a wood golem. we have tents throws are moving trees and trees are wood .

[velveeta]

there were wood golems, as opposed to treants, at one time - the named was pegleg, i believe....

[Sindala]

indeed and every old Dragon wood (sorry i couldnt resist) remember them as i'm allmost certain they were required for an ability eons ago

LOL what did he hit you with Arr maty for Pyrite damage


Hears your exit story lol
Epi went back in time rounded them all up and burned them to the ground and attacked that part of the spawn Engine they no-longer exist

[Sigi]

I miss them too.

No harm in letting them wandering around there I would think.

Used to be plenty of Wood golems (lvl 36-40) just south - south-west'ish of what is now called Goranthis Forest, and as Vel said, the named one was Peg Leg (lvl 45.)
They had a nice relationship with Leafy Oastics (lvl 26-30) down there, and with t2 gems and at least silver node spawns in a small forest down in the canyon. Don't remember if there also was Iron nodes down there.

There also used to be Bone golems and Werewolves down in that area once. Had a lot of fun down there back in the days since it would usually be completely empty, so would have the whole area for myself.

Now it is, as Sindala says, only a blighted area with nothing in it yet. At least nothing that I could find, and I roamed a bit around down there, especially to check one specific location that would be fit for a tomb.

Guess the area will be expanded upon as time goes by.

Seen stranger things befor i guess wood golems did at one point existed but are now tents and i hope should remain .

As for Bone golem
yes there called a golem how ever it dose not fit in to the category of golems i would call these mini epic social creatures, Bone warriors or Guardians as they are Different from most of the withered ages but still animated by Very strong magic Further more these should not be lumped in with the golem population as they drop coin anothe sign of withered age

[Spirit Twister]

I have no trouble with the Wood golems beeing gone because, as you say Lightning Claw, they hardly fit into the general theme of the other golems as you described them. But was still fun when they were around, although a bit of a hassle at times because of their CoT.

But as I said, no trouble with seeing them gone.


The Bone Golems that used to be down there was of the same type that you could find outside Kirasanct and Tazoon back in the days. Lvl 36-40ish or so?

No trouble with those beeing gone either really, but they where fun when they were around.

I am feeling very sad now...
While I am remembering Bone Golems from the old days I don't recall ever seeing any Wood Golems.

[Takora Drakan]

Aww poor Peg Leg and his friends While they where a bit "out of the line" in regards of treeants and golem thingies, I still enjoyed them. I saw them always as golems animated from dead wood that wants to protect the forest, and their little annoying oastic friends.

I hope there is still a place for them somewhere, there is so much unpopulated space in istaria, you devs can sure squeeze them somewhere in!

[velveeta]

i second tako's above post....
sure they weren't lorewise, but they were fun to mess with!!
vel still has some trophies from pegleg from her royal birthday hunts and i am almost positive that mw got to do the quest involving hunting pegleg down...
surely there is some lil lost forest they could inhabit so all us old friends can drop by and give pegleg a hug every once in a while.....

[Sindala]

Or even add them to one of the new T2 dungeons to be added and claim they are made from the roots of the trees the bi-peds keep chopping down

[Sigi]

I like that idea.

It even sounds quite logical... I agree with you!!! bring more Wood golems of all tiers!!!

[awdz]

i really like the idea of the wood golems in dungeons, from blighted tree roots. above the surface they really duplicate the function of treants.
