Black Dragon Balark

Description
Black Dragon Balark is an Elite flying familiar that can be found between Maelstrom Perch and Blackhaven at roughly 250m. It requires 15 taming points and a Black Dragon Balark Mark to tame, and can be trained to level 40, provided the player is at or above that level.



Strategy
Balark is isolated, so he can be engaged without fear of aggroing other mobs. He has a vulnerability to crossbow attacks, and his ranged attack can easily be dodged.

How to Tame
Taming Balark requires a Black Dragon Balark Mark, the recipe for which drops from Paragas the Mad at around 275m halfway between Ellora's Perch and The Breach dungeon entrance.

Once acquired, the recipe itself needs:
 * 5 Laetta (sealed)
 * 5 Brighthorn Drake (sealed)
 * 70 Familiar Orb
 * 20 Elite Taming Potion

As an Elite familiar, lowering Balark's health is not required to tame it. Like all familiars, being several levels stronger than the mount will make taming it significantly easier. It can also be found in the Lair of Ma'art and tamed using a Ma'art Control Stone.



Sealing Details
Seal stones are used to turn tamed familiars into items in order to either socket them into your gear for bonus stats or convert to talent points. Sealing NAME requires a/an (RARITY) Seal Stone and grants the following bonuses:

Converting Balark to Talent Power provides 190 Talent Points regardless of level.

Balark is used in the following recipes:
 * Paragas the Mad Mark (x3)
 * Veldon Mark (x2)
