Pearl Kedge Totem  

 

A few things i have seen as I have looked for bilge.

spawn from kill to pop on bilge type wandering mob here is 1.5 min. Have seen bilge and other named spawn point ... near kedge under the water... on bottom actually. and in the water just down from the gobliin camp.

i followed a 1.5 min pop after killing jetsam... spawned near kedge... went south to the shore... then traveled east to west then west to east... passing orc camp... crossing south side of island... crossing north side of island... back and forth a couple times.. to stopping finally by the column between fab four and exit... then he turned and headed the other way for about 6 steps ... stopped again then made b-line for fab four... now if i were to put a random spawn... I would make things head for death if this was a place holder... and it is what he did... all his other stops to start were nearly across zone... except for when he stopped ... and headed straight for fab four.

So, if you luck into getting a named place holder... follow the spawn yousee on track 1.5 min later... will prob be around kedge area. and keep him dead. every 1.5min.

Might work.

Got my pkt this morning. Seems the place holder likes to stand on top of the hill sometimes too. gated in to hill with rogue merchant.. immediately attacked by skelly... 1.5 min after his death... bilge popped between me and the goblin camp.

gl... hope this helps... but main info here... is the 1.5 min spawn on wandering mobs. and all may depop after a bit... have seen the rogue merchant depop for no reason as well...

As a 46 druid, I found Bilge on track, Sunday 12/22/02 about 1am under the water on the north side of the island on Lanys T'vyl. Pulled him up on shore with Stinging Swarm, Rooted, Immolated and then hid behind a rock. He shot his arrows, cast Malise and some DD spells. I stuck my head out after a minute or so and DD'd him with Calefaction which dropped him.
I was pretty excited to get the belt but he didn't have it. He had the PKT. After some copious jubilation I calmed down and I think I'll head to the bazaar.
I drop into DC every chance I get to look for Bilge and he is very, very rarely up. This is the first time I have seen him that I could kill him. I also have cleared the zone of gobs and never had him spawn. Hope this helps.

My 47 Bard, Syreen, on Xegony was doing a totemic quest to twink my 20 Shaman, Naomy, before she realized she could buy the stuff in the Bazaar for less than it cost to do the quest. So, I'm splashing about tracking and whacking Tidal Lords for the Cauldron shell. After about 8 of them, I get my shell, I'm about to leave and I notice some named mob, Bilge Farfathom on track... I figure it must be a gobby, so I track him under the water awhile. I found him under water, near the surface by the Aqua Gob camp. He took longer than I expected to kill, either he was healing himself, or a nearby shaman gob was healing him... hard to tell under water, but he was no match for a 47 Bard. He drops this Pearl Kedge Totem, and I'm thinking, "Wow! My 36 Druid, Botanni, will love this little dolly!" So, I leave the zone with a happy bonus.

The very next day, I'm working on my Bard epic, I drop a note off to Marfen in Sol-A, and he gives me a doll for Serra in Unrest. As I'm leaving Unrest to pass back through Dagnor's, I decide to check tracking for Bilge, or any other named gobs. No Bilge, but then I see some mob on track named "Squallslither." Sounds gobby-ish, so I start tracking it, put on the SS Gaunts, and dive in the water. Turns out its a snake, and it was right next to me when I started tracking, went in the water just moments before I did, and its in melee range. I DoT it once with Chant of Frost, slow it with Selo's Consonant Chain, and maybe got off one melee hit on it before it folds up like an old card table. It drops a Serpent Blood Potion. I had no idea what it was, but looked it up and I'm thinking, "Wow, this will really come in handy on one of these epic mobs!" Then I read all your posts, and I'm chuckling; on two consecutive days I apparently got the best two drops in the zone and I wasn't even looking for them, or even aware that there was anything worth hunting for in Dagnor's. I figure its just good karma, or maybe dumb luck. But both of these mobs I found in the water near the Unrest entrance, so for what its worth, maybe that's the place to look for them.

Got one of these for sale on the Vazaelle, im on most days between 4-7pm pst, send tells to Settiune 40th druid, 10k obo

BAck 3 years ago he was a 1 week spawn, unless im mistaken he still is.

Good luck getting one of these. I've talked to several people on Brell who have camped Bilge for MONTHS and never seen him spawn, much less drop the totem. Great item if you can endure many long, boring hours (days, weeks, months) killing greenies in DC. :/

On the post it sais secondary and melee. Is this true, it would be very nice to have this and TOV. Thats +28 wis hehe.

I was on my way to unrest to power-level a friend, when I happened to click on track. To my surprise Bilge was up...i ran after him, and saw the totem in his hand. I was so hyped when he dropped it. He has around or less than 1000 hit points because my breath of ro (950pt DoT) and one root spell (160dd and root) took him down before the end of the DoT.

Wow! Spent days there just sitting four or five hours and he never popped. Decided to login this morning for a few minutes and he was there near goblin camp. Not hard to kill for level 40 druid. He had the PKT!

How rare is Bilge Farfathom? 1 in 24 hours? or what?

I couldn't log the price for some reason up there, computer maybe on my end, but anyhoo...saw one auctioned today for 10k in EC. I jumped on it and offered the seller roughly 10-11k in trades. He took it and I know have two, count em two dolls to play with. ) This has been a pricing report from your friendly druid on 7th Hammer.

heya i am selling one of these on terris-thule, or trading for rogue gear.

At the moment I am using a Springwood Club and a Cracked Darkwood Sheild. I am about to do the paw of opulla quest and become a non-melee druid. As soon as I hit lvl 30 I am going to camp this dude 24 7, as his drops are awesome. I see the PKT going for like 12kpp in EC all the time, needless to say that I don't have 12k (If only I did =P ). I am still gonna keep my Club and Sheild though, for those anoyying bloody Griffennes who always seem to get down to no health but are still alive (very small amout I suppose). I suggest that all wisdom casters when they reach or are near lvl 30 that u should camp this (and pick up his belt too). As previous posts suggest the benefit of 18wisdom easily outweighs the anoyyance of losing 9 str as there are plenty of thigs that can comprimise (velium ruby veil [which is 8str 8wis]for example) and with the paw of opolla in your primary slot, all up u will get 9ac 5sta 9agi 27wis -5chr -9str -5svdisease 5mana. If you were to ask me I would say that this is SUPER SWEET.

LOL us bards can use it too! Not only does it take nine points from one of the most importan bard stats, but what's this? it adds 18 to the only totally useless stat for bards! WOOT! Sign me up!

about the post comparing the paw and this item, you said that this was 18wis and cha?? please look at the item you are posting about. You gave way off stats :p

I recently traded a Green Jade Halberd, Crustacean BP and Gaunts for the PKT and 2k, i like the trade alot! i am selling it right now for 20k or taking a Prayer Shawl, Charred Guardian Shield , Golden Efretti Boots 1 runed mith bracer and a 65hps 65 mana necklace! this is on Drinal server BTW, thanks for the trade Giaz! sned me an email at Slipperyshoes2001@hotmail.com!

Can anyone tell me if a 32 Druid is too low a lvl for to take one Bilge?

Unless Verant has changed his spawn rate since the last time I tried camping him..it was 4 hours. However, Dwigus tends to pop more often than Bilge does. The best place I've seen to catch either one is to go sit on the island facing the Unrest Entrace..near that dwarf. Good luck..and may Tunare bless you with patience..you're gonna need it.

To who ever posted that this doesnt drop anymore, please know what you're talking about before you post. I killed bilge last night and he had a pearl kedge totem on him then. You are talking about Dwigus lowater, gobby that aslo spawned and i killed, he drops the ingot for the cleric or pally bp , i cant remember which.
