Ultimate Guide to making Pyzjn spawn
# Nov 18 2002 at 10:38 PM Rating: Default
Looking in here and in other sites, I found all sorts of people giving their "expert" opinion on how to get Pyzjn to spawn. I know you guys have heard this before, but after testing all those other guides and a few ones of my own, I think I have the "Ultimate Guide to Pyzjn" tm. In only 3 simple steps:

1. Strip yourself of all clothes and items and run 3 laps around QH /shout'ing: "I'm a pretty lady" (works on female and male characters).

2. Stand in the middle of the ruins, duck and /em *fart* 57 times.

3. * Now this step is a lot more elaborated, and franqly I think I should get paid for it. So e-mail me and we'll arrange a payment of $29.95 to my account and I'll e-mail you back the last step to this guide!

With my guide. I'll garantee you'll get your GBS in no more than 2 weeks (RL time) of camping.

- GIVE IT UP PEOPLE! IT'S A RANDOM SPAWN!

Not sure where I heard this but, I learned that the mangy rats are PH's for Phyzin. I have camped her several times all with no luck. Killing the mangy rats DID seem to make her spawn but it may have been more in line with the really long post on game time made by rewired.
I think he's really close to learning the trick on this but there is still a peice missing.
For instance, I have killed the mangy rats and seen her spawn in the middle of an EQ day.
killed her over 30 times now without seeing the GBS though =( oh well. just my 2cp's worth

I've read quite a few stories below me how they saw Pyzjn up while walking through QH's and nailed her and looted the GBS.
Well, This is one of those stories with two bittersweet sides too it. I originally camped this item to twink for my brand new necro I was creating. 14 hours and 3-4 kills later, nothing to show for it except me being pissed beyond belief.
Several months later after my new necro leveling project was taking way, My level 19 headed to BlackBurrow for some faction adjustments when I remember I was low on Bone chips. I head to the Ruins in QH and lay waste to the uncamped area. I'm there no more than 3 minutes when Pyzjn herself strolls up conning lightblue and indifferent to me. "Ahh What the hell" I thought and sent in my pet to wipe the floor with her and her pet. I click to loot and WHOAH! Glowing Black Stone and a rusty dagger. I sit at my computer desk for several moments just baffled that I actually looted it.
BUT......
Later that day I head to Qeynos Aquaducts for some new spells and the whole "shady" bunch down there cons Dubiously now (before I was indifferent). ARGH! They won't sell to me so now I have raise faction back up to aprehensively just to use that place. Ugh. Well I guess Pyzjn is not the best person to fight but in this one case.. the reward was very bittersweet.

Yeah, she is a pretty big faction hit. Want your faction back? Kill the human scout in blackburrow, its a huge Bloodsabers hit, went from dubious to amiable.
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 09 2002 at 6:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) And what do you think people would think of you if they saw you walking around at level 55 with a level 25 item? hmm? besides. stein of moggok has +25 disease which is good for trakanon raids, +10hp which helps and some other stats. so like he said, shut the hell up you fashion ******
#GroderMcdougal, Posted: Jul 30 2002 at 1:47 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) shut the hell up you fashion ******. GBS is nice, but id rather have a stein of maggok and a book of obulus.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jul 21 2002 at 10:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Oooook. So you all think yer all high and mighty becuase you figured out a stein of moggok has one extra more int plus a few other extra stats. Well, see heres the thing. When your lvl 55 walking around with a lvl 12 item in your hand it doesnt look so great. Fact of the matter is that half the poepoel who inspect and see "Glowing Black Stone" arent gonna know what the hell it is anyways but when they see stein of moggok they read peice of crap. Thats one reason. My second reason is GBS looks a hell of a lot better then a cup. what it comes down to is uberness vs commonness. Plus, if you have the money or time to get this stone im betting you have over 200int so why not go the extra mile to look way better. Just my 2 copper.
Oooops!

I feel kind of badly for you folks who camped her for so long and didn't find her.
I was waiting for my ladylove while she scribed and memmed new spells in SFG, and being the antsy ranger that I am, told her I'd meet her in QH because I wanted to try out a new sword (Coterie Longsword) to dual wield with my Morin ss.
Wandering around by the ruins came across the putrids and dreads and proceeded to lay waste to them and on the last, a dread, noticed the dread was being healed, but not fast enough to keep it from dying.
After it's death, little tiny pinpricks on my bod and on the target slot pops the name Pyzjn. "Who the heck is this?", says I. But didn't bother to answer, turned and walloped her and her pet. Got the GBS, didn't know what it was for, but kept it just the same.
And no, she wasn't camped at the time. This was at 4:30 AM PDT and I checked my track. Only 4 peeps in zone and I was one of them, and none of the other 3 anywhere near the ruins.
Feel a little bad about all the camping you others have done for this GBS, but it happens this way sometimes.

On my way from Surefalls to Everfrost to farm some stuff I stopped by the ruins and Pyzin was up. Since is my duty to kill Gnomes when I can I promptly blaster her and her little pet too.
She dropped the Stone for me. Now to find out what it goes for.

Well for the longest time i wanted a GBS but last week i bought a book of obulus for 2k ,and personally i think the book is better with 8 int and 45 mana plus a couple resist bonuses.The GBS is still a nice item but i think the days of 5 to 10k selling price are long gone.it may be a rare drop but i think it should only sell for between 1 to 2k now.

# Mar 16 2002 at 11:46 AM Rating: Decent
I was thinking about getting one of these. I ended up buying a book of oblivion in KC for 800pp and it blows this away. With the extra money you save buy a stein of maggok and now you have 18 int and + 45 mana and still have 4k left over for some GEB's LOL. Sounds allot better to me:P
#REDACTED, Posted: Apr 04 2002 at 7:41 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) uhh.. its book of obulous.. =) lol book of oblivion.. rrrright
anyone want to buy?

im on erollisi marr and i am looking to sell this powerful item to someone for around 5k. I am also however in search of a tolans bracer, and light velium bow. Either of items these will suffice in trade for my stone. Send me a tell if you are interested. My characters names are Traick, and Forestmann.

I just have something small to add to your rant about the GBS being worth nothing 8).

It all depends on the server your playing on. I have played on VZ and SZ, and if your not wanting to get killed all the time by casters the +10 SVM is a nice thing to have. Ya it may be worthless to you cause you cant afford it, or your so mad that you cant get pyzjin to spawn that you have to come post your worthless 2 cents.

Ne Wayz....Try playing on a real server where all the MR in the world will keep you alive .....go play there and tell me you would rather have the stien. Im not saying that its the best thing since french bread , but im saying its not worthless.

Heck im a wisdom caster and I keep this thing close to my heart!

(Oh ya for all you who want to know how i got her to spawn? its random, everything about her is random, except the fact that she spawns and this is the killer *NEAR* the dread corpse spawn. I have killed her 19 times and gotten the gbs 1 time. in saying 1/19 chance to get the stone by my odds.)

GOOD luck on getting this item!
P.S. ummmm the reason that this item is so freakin much is that its *PRIMARY* AND *SECONDARY*, think about it......stien in 1hand GBS in the other. + its rare, + the spawn is rare too! Ya now that your post makes ya look dumb. 8) IM DONE!

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 27 2002 at 10:54 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) well dude this migth apply to you cause you in pvp and all you do is kill other peeps or always be scared that others are going to kill you second when you play in blue server you dont have worries about such things so eather you xp quest or camp items me personally in the 3 years that i have played eq never camped her and never will ohh and btw this goes for 1k on my server just cause of the fact that economy goes down in old server so have fun in your pvp server and keep paying out of this world prices for stuff ill be here in my blue server getting tailoring up not having to look bhind my back and im done
I dont want to sell it

Rant time

i am playing an enchanter that is under lvl 20, i hear about a decent peice of equip i can get for said enchanter, so i go to camp it, for 7 RL days straight, i have not been able to get near this camp due to 55+ toons that have nothing better to do than farm the damn thing to sell it.

I am sorry, i aint a twink, i dont have 3k(current price on xev) and am really starting to get ticked off that one of the very few decent int items i can get my hands on at my level is outa my reach....

To make matters worse, i ran into her wandering start fighting and guess what 57 wizzy nuked her, looted her and what do i see /auction WTS GBS 3k
5 seconds later

Enuff to drive anyone mad

End Rant

next time,
If your camping an item for awhile, keep a hot key. Mine are always a little somthing like this /ooc campin (whatever), if ou see (whatever) spawn, pst, and thank you.
this does a few things, it lets people know, and if somone does steal your kill, then petition. What happens at this point is usally up to the GM, but in most of the time they will help ya. If they dont, you go onto your servers most used channel and say somthing along these lines "please dont buy from (whomever) he stole my kill, and looted (whatever), hes an **** hole... or a more fitting or detructive statment if you see fit.... this ruins characters reps... even if for a short time, and when you get up in level rep is very important. just my 2 cents

# Feb 09 2002 at 8:32 PM Rating: Default
Hello everyone! Im fairly new to EQ and have never heard of the GBS, to my surprise i was in WC watching auctions fly by, when i saw someone selling the GBS, so i send a tell and the guys tells me to make a offer so i say 200pp not knowing the value at all. He replies back 300pp and you have a deal. Come to find out i bought the stone off a lvl 56 rogue, he must have been in a giving mood that day.

that was a long informative BORING post on "getting" her to spawn. Yes 11 minutes and 43 seconds something waltzes to the center of the ruins, but GUESS WHAT? she's completely random, and that hunk of worthless rock is random too =)

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFO

You are not lucky to obtain this item, you'll be lucky if you can find someone to buy it! hahaha

Anyone with common sense will buy a Stein of Maggok, and maybe an int dagger or some crap, because people really think they'll get 5k+ for this - and they're wrong - don't pay it, its worthless.

IF YOU WANT TO CAMP IT FOR MONEY
You're fooling yourself, i suggest finding another way to make that "easy money" you are so desperately seeking, because Pyzjin is a desperate measure.

have a nice day, get over this trash item =)

This item is priced for it's rarity, not it's value, so OBIQUON - that is why the stien is cheap, it's really easy to get
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 14 2002 at 12:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) agreed, 9 int and 10 svm isnt that good, crap actually, with twinks like me out there, i can afford lody boots (wearin em now *grins*) and MUCH better int jewelry/weps/gear, dunt waste yer time with this rock, better off buying a black pearl and selling it to someone in disguise as a GBS (someone almost did that to me with bronze instead of crusty arms) if yer lucky that they dont right click it,an if they do log off as quick as you can!!!
RE: REWIRED HAHA
# Feb 20 2002 at 5:41 PM Rating: Decent
you would really have to be an idiot to buy a black pearl by accident. Odviusily it is not the GBS as far as I know lore items don't have stack numbers like a black pearl
HAH
# Dec 07 2001 at 9:45 PM Rating: Default
For some odd reason, (maybe it has been upgraded) I looted a (get this:) INT + 9 WIS + 9 sv MAGIC + 10 Glowing black stone, sadly i did not think it was unusual so i didn't grab a screen, sold it for a clean 8k. (Was just passing thru the QH's , saw Pyzin, whacked her, looted it!)
Is this......
# Nov 26 2001 at 10:50 AM Rating: Default
Is this drop of a regular mob in Qeynos Hills and is this item really worth 7-8k?

also i was told that varsoon only spawns for Halloween and was wondering if this was true?
RE: Is this......
# Nov 29 2001 at 2:17 AM Rating: Decent
Well I just killed Varsoon & Undying & by GOD the EQ time was close to October 31st.... (The next day I looked & it was Nov 11th)
RE: Is this......
# Dec 27 2001 at 10:40 AM Rating: Default
Hmmmm- well, I just killed him last night and checked the date a few minutes later.

It was mid April, Norrath time.

Maybe he is a PH? Regular normal PH?
