Stone Drake

Stone Drake
He is no normal monster.He has a special power which can turn certain metals to stone. He is immune to copper, bronze and stone weapons (maybe wood too... i haven't tried them). If he hits you the armor in the place he hits you has a chance of being turned (changed). If it is bronze or copper armor it will be turned to stone*. If it is silver there is a chance that it will be turned to Drake Silver respectively. Although the rewards can be high, the danger is equally real. It is not unknown for the drake to be able to kill a player in one hit. The fact is that the silver armor is some of the lightest armor in the game. Therefore not only are you getting hit by a massively strong monster, but to gain your reward you are wearing inferior armor and receiving less protection. Drake Silver is only slightly less valuable than Fiery Gold in armor rating. There are a couple weaknesses to the stone drake. First is that only a couple drakes will spawn in a day (or so the rumor goes) so if he dies a couple times you have to wait till the next day to fight him again. Second the drake is susceptible to arrows. If you are lucky enough to hit the drake with an arrow he will die in a few minutes because he can not remove the arrow. The stone drake used to have the ability to turn gold to fiery gold, but the sildar took this ability from him and bestowed it on the Fire Drake.


 * stone armor - Stone armor is higher in rating than bronze armor, but it is extremely fragile. If you want to keep it you have to repair it after every hit and it is expensive to repair. It has the possibility to shatter if it is hit and you can not remove the armor till it shatters.
