Maddening ScalarsClasses that can use: AllArtifact XP: Slaying any enemies in the frontiers. Gloves It appears that healers/hybrids who wear armor (cleric, druid, shammy, healer) will get the TANK version of Maddening Scalars with the tank stats such as melee speed, they cannot recieve a version of the Maddening Scalars with appropriate stats. Convo with CSR seemed to indicate that this will probably remain so. Cleric, Druid, Shammy, and Healer should be moved to 'partial use' at best. Really the item is near useless for these classes.

Credits: Bokal, Goran DaKiing, Ornette, Vadoc, Greyfish Proud, Arlana Smadrerdig, Vvash, Aubrianna Chaotic, Mongalore TheMerciless, Nissemh, Runodon Tank Version, Offensive Proc: Frothing Wound: Inflicts damage to the target repeatedly over a given time period. Also inflicts a disease on the target. DpT:20 Target: Targetted Range: 350 Duration: 1 minute Frequency: 6 seconds Casting time: Instant Damage: Body Tank Version: I've seen the ablative go off now maybe twice so at least it's working. It has the old red cylindrical graphic to it. It's so short in duration that I've not seen it hit more than once after activation. It did ~75 damage to a yellow con mob. As a side note though all that is currently working (I think) is the Wolf Morph. I repeatedly tried beating on someone and someone beating on me for the full duration of the morph. No effect has proc'd yet. What I don't get is would it just be a random proc chance on all attacks while in morph since it's offensive? Obviously I can't hit someone with my gaunts. I appealed it as a bug Dec 14 - Greyfish Proud Caster Version: oh, i FINALLY got to see the level 5 proc today for the first time. it makes a red cylinder around you and says your eyes are filled with rage or something. i then had my NORMAL ablative proc the next hit and they stack! got hit for 64 damage of which 32 was absorbed by ablative, so i got this message: your magical shield absorbs 32 damage. you reflect 12 damage. you are hit for 20 damage. very rare for gloves to get hit AND proc, but was very cool none the less! Dec 23 - Holydot Leveling the Artifact:My mad schallers lvls off of rvr and pve monsters in the frontiers. I killed a few ppl in groups mind ya and got 0% towards it. Pobably got rps for at least 10 ppl. I go kill mobs out there and its alot quicker. Jan 29- bryldan The Maddening Scalar gloves will now earn experience in the frontier dungeons. (1.68 patch, Feb 19, 2004) Strategy:We found the artifact named Maddening Scalars which drops off of a very big named snake. Doable with 1fg and took us about 5min to kill. The name of the mob is Ylyssen. He dropped 3 RoG belts and a spirit which appears after he dies gives the artifact to whoever attacked him first. Nov 22- Jeryvn Big bad snake dude popped for us at 7400, 43000 in Typhon's Reach. I have only seen it once (when we killed it) since TOA was released. It is probably the rarest spawn I have ever seen in TOA so far. We did it with minstrel + salamander pet, buffbot, necro, and a merc. Was pretty straightforward from what I remember. Snake throws random fire DD nukes around, but that's it. Dec 4 - Ornette This is a easy one, just charm a salamander with a Minstrel, buff it and let it kill the snake. Mar 25 2004 - Krusi Tips:just got her to spawn. i killed siam-he devotee in the area.a broadcast went out... "A sound of a tormented soul can be heard from all around." and there she was. fought her, an atlantean woman appears and gives you the gloves. i killed another devotee one after the fight, but i think maybe it's on a timer...no spawn As for the encounter itself I did it with mentalist/druid/bard/nightshade with criosphinx witness pet. She stays in place and nukes people randomly in the group. note: i did also kill a ureaus snake in the area just before the devotee.... i didn't see any unique messages, no clue if that had anything to do with it. Dec 13 - Demonikeen The secret to the spawning of the Scalars mob: This is according to the new strategy guide, and it's very devious-Ok, there are those snakes, the uraeus, that spawn when somone dies, as well as some being around as regular mobs in Typhon's. Well, supposedly whenever one spawns, there is a very small chance for it to spawn as an invisible non-aggroing uraeus. When 9 invisible snakes spawn, they will move to the Scalars artifact loc and form the artifact mob. There is supposedly a 200 snake limit to the zone, so if there are 200 present, and less than 9 invisible ones, the mob will NOT spawn until some are killed, etc. Dec 29 - Ulfhednar Slybiter That makes sense, sometimes when someone dies you get the 'You hear a hissing noise coming from their corpse but can see nothing' spam. Dec 29 - Corrigana_Nagisa do NOT use heat dmg on him, it heals him Dec 12 - Columbos Drops:Dropped 3 ROG Shields and the Gaunts. Dec 12- Greyfish Proud He dropped 3 RoG belts Cloak of Ambuscade level 49, 99%qual Dex+21, hits+48, energy 6%, spirit 6%, AF+12 10 charges of +75 AF dark teal colored, no hood/collared model.
