Fishbone Earring  

 

Hadden popped, no one around, hit attack and nothing happened... cannot attack him. Figures, earring is over 2k in the bazaar and now we can't kill the mob that dropped it. Thanks Sony

now also requires fish scales for effect like turtle bone ring grrrrr

Any time i'm in the zone and hes up I always kill him just incase he has the earring on him I probably have killed him about 10 times in the past year on and off, was in the zone with my level 49 rogue and saw that he was up so I killed him and he had it :).

5 Hour real time or 5 hour eq time? for the spawn

I have camped this guy many times, killing Rephas and Axe alot of times to get him to spawn. In the times he actually did spawn ,no earring.
Just so happens i was in QH one night looking for Sir Motte...went running around ,saw Hadden. I had to kill Rephas ,Axe ,& Hadden just once and the earring dropped:)

Someone mentioned that axe broadsmith doesn't get involved... LIES!!!

I camped hadden for almost five hours, then he spawned, I killed him with the help of a high level druid that must have had him timed because she showed up less than a minute after he spawned... she asked if i was there for hadden i said yes, she asked if i needed help, i said yes.

I hit him with a dot and his buddies Axe broadsmith, and the other relphas and his pet, or something like that came to his aide. Good thing she stayed to help me!

We killed him, no earring! blah!

Has anyone else noticed that the price for these in the Bazaar has jumped dramatically since GoD came out? They used to sell for 300pp to 500pp and now the cheapest they are selling for is 5k. This seems a bit outrageous... just exactly how many tribute points do you get for them?

Here are the faction hits for those who are too lazy to look up the Hadden link. :)

Killed him the other day at around 2:25pm. Got the earring. That same day there was a 45 min server only patch. I camed at the Hadded camp and when the patch was over I was on fairly fast and he was up again. Second Earring! Now my alts have their EB item)

Hadden Spawns at loc 3801, 991
right in front of Axe Broadsmith's hut
He is a 5hr to 5.5 hr spawn

I have killed him 37 times.. the earring has dropped 5 times.. not good odds.. Soon all my characters will have one =)

also you have to waste the whole 5 hours waiting becasue if you show up only an hour early he will be camped already.. lots of people know when he died last.. set their timers... log out on top of him.. and log in every 5 hours to see if he is camped.

i soloed hadden for a full cay every four hours. the earring drops 1 of of 10 time. and yes he has a BIG FACTION hit with the Qenyous cleric temple , i believe. the earring went for about 3kpp last time i check. i still have mine for now

Is this guy really exist?
I never see this at all.
can anyone tell me the loc of him?

What negative faction hits to you get camping this guy, ?? Is it first time you are KOS or you can camp him awhile?

Ok, so I was slapping Chief Goonda around with my 51 bard in WK and get bored and decide to go to QH to see if perchance Hadden is up. To my amazement he was, and to my further amazement, nobody was camping him. Pulled him south through the water, killed him, looted the fishing pole and (WOOT!) the Fishbone Earring. I took note of the time, passed the FB Earring to my 34 warrior.
I come back 5 hours later, nobody is camping him, so I wait. He pops again approximately 5 hrs 20 minutes after the first kill, he has the fishing pole on him. I repeat the process, pulling him south through the water, kill him, bend down to loot and... this is where it gets weird, as soon as I right click his corpse to loot, his fishing pole vanishes from his corpse. The only thing he had on him was some change and words of uselessness. I'm not sure, but I thought I detected a flash in the loot window as it appeared also.


I still had the fishing pole on me from the last time, I don't know if that had any effect, or maybe Verant figured out a way to list the people who have looted him and nerf the loot to them. When he has the fishing pole, he usually drops the fishing pole, but this is the first time I have ever seen visible in-hand loot vanish off a corpse as I attempted to loot it.

I wish I'd burned that fishing pole, or maybe I should try it with another toon. If I find out anymore, I'll let you know.

just killed him, no loot whatsoever. Bah!

Rephas helped him and charmed me for a while! Had to root rephas and train hadden out into the hills where i could take him out safely.

Just a note, he doesnt have a big faction hit. I am STILL ally to guards, merchants, antonius bayle.

WAt is so good about this item?

Well, I got this today, sat around waiting for him like an hour, talking to guildies. All of a sudden a caster pops up from nowhere, he must have been expecting him to be up because he logged before I could send a tell. I figured he must be popping soon so I cast all my good buffs, waited like 10 minutes, then Haddan popped, conned light blue. I cast Harmony of Nature on Rephas(conned light blue) and Axe Broadsmith(conned dark blue), just in case. Remembering the debate of whether pulling him into the water increases your chances of getting the earring, I snared him and went to town, making sure to pull him in the water, but not deep enough that we were swimming. After he died, lo and behold, a fishbone earring. Count this as another testament that he does seem to drop it more often when in the water, but it's by no means solid proof. Some of my guildies are going to camp him, I told them about pulling him into the water, so hopefully we'll get confirmation one way or the other.

I was wondering if while waiting can't you kill the mage, and then the axe guy. He he pops you kill him too?
I'm a lvl 47th SK. You think this would be troublesome for me? I got backup. a lvl 44th cle that can come along with me on this deal.
How quick do the mage and axe guy respawn?
I need to go to Kedge Keep soon so I might as well take some time to get this. Aha, and the PoK Qeynos Stone leads where? Don't want to pop inside qeynos itself and die from guards.

I do not know if this is true, but it is quite convincing to me. After camping hadden several varying times, and killing him with a buddy, although being able to solo him, i got no earring. After the 6th time, I almost gave up, and idea came to me, why not pull him into the water? So next pull i get a wizzy to take out chanter, so i cant safely pull Hadden into the lake, to the point where he is swimming, and kill him. TADAAAAH, a great sense of accomplishment and new great item. I dont know if this will work every time, but i got earring on 7th try when i killed him IN the water. Good luck to getting this item, and NO im not selling it unless this is verified that pulling him into the water guarentees getting the earring.

Horrible music? isnt that an oxymoron?

so this item makes you not breath in water?

Camped him for about 4 hours last night. the best part was.. I took a 45 minute break where I logged off and went for a drive, then I came back, and noone was there! 10 minutes later, he's dead, and I have my EB item..

Gonna try my luck at Bergurgle and soloing in the Grey now, hope that goes well.

EDIT: forgot to mention.. I got my begging to 13, because there was nothing better to do. You can either beg from the Axe guy or... 'a boat'

just something to do while you are sitting there, I guess

LOL. I too omw to jaggedpine again from everfrost. Chk tracked didnt know the fools name but saw someone i didnt recognize near axe (great rangers cant sort by distance). At 52 green as hell, sent tell to my friend that has camped him "is this EB earing guy named hadden?" answer "yes" ALLY to me hmmm. /smack smack. Goes down quick, no FRIGGING earing not even a copper. BAHHHH. glad as hell i didnt sit for 6 hrs waiting for him to pop, got lucky on mob, but no earing.......think ill stick to fishscales and give rebreathers to my alts


this dude blows.

Well I had to kill him 5 times to get it. Spawn time is not exactly 5 hours 20 minutes, but seems to vary to anything up to 6 hours.

The first 4 kills I just rooted him and burned him where he stood. The fifth time, I tried something different - I dragged him out into the deeper water and killed him there and he had the earring!

Yes, it may be coincindence, but who knows, killing him in the water may improve your chance of him dropping the earring. I thought I'd mention it for future campers to try out.

Oh, and for those who are faction conscious, head over to Blackburrow and whack puppies to get that faction back in line. Heck, its kinda fun running through there at 48th and smacking out some revenge on those puppies from my low-level days.

I am super lucky. I was running to Jaggedpine to buy some cheese this morning before work. As is my habit, I checked track as I ran through Q hills. I was totally shocked to see him on track and light blue to my 39 ranger. I did a quick who, thinking someone had been camping him. There where only 3 players in the zone and the other 2 were level 10's. WOOT!
So I tracked him down and hacked him down. He had the earring. No camping for hours on end. Very lucky!

sat for about 3 hours and went LD. Came back to find he had popped during mY LD. lucky a druid was there that i am friends with and didnt know about loot ) hehe. and this is my first hadden kill and WOOHOO!!!! dropped earring. i traded for 1k and golden chitin bracer. which has kinda ripped me off but ah well! ) i can always try for another one tomorrow

I don't mean to be so negative, but this is the worst camp I've ever done since I started playing EQ. Not only does it take ALL DAY (or all night!), you constantly have people fighting with you for it. Someone always ends up walking by during the last 45 minutes before the random spawn time, when you've been there over FIVE HOURS already holding your camp, and begins to hound you with questions on the last time he died. High level people who have it on timers, log in, and try to out damage you. (If this happens to you, turn on your logs and load a level 1 nuke if you can to get first damage.)

Regardless, bad things happen at this camp. The evil in people comes out in all it's horrible glory, and it's just wrong.

I may always be a little bit sad that the jerks, and yah I mean jerks, who would take the Hadden kill from a server crash (before the delayed random spawn patch) that knocked me off my camp or bullied me off the camp always seemed to get the drop, laugh at me, and gate. I would have been very proud to have gotten the earring myself since I was capable of it, but it was not to be.

If you can buy this earring, do it. Just buy it. Save yourself the time, the frustration, the negative faction hits, and the disappointment of watching your fellow players turn into school yard tyrants.

I stood through this camp about 6 times. I was finally put in contact with a very nice fellow who was selling his earring. I paid at bit over 2k, and in the end, was glad to do so. I have used it innumerable times since then.
