ItemFirst off, those of you who say this item sucks.. just shut up and go back to twinking your character up beyond humanly possible. Fact, This item against gnolls has great damage ratio output. This is indeed an 11/28 sword againest Gnolls.... it hits for 12-15 on normal creatures, hits for 28-33 on Gnolls.
The second version of this sword is also good by itself and Excellent on gnolls. 25/40 is equal to the Wurmy AND to top it off.. the +25 SV Posion is a GREAT item to take with you on raids for higher levels. I dare anyone to look at Secondary equipable swords at around the level 30 and see if anything pops up with an SV Posion even close to this rating.... you won't find it.
I'm tired of hearing people ***** about how bad this sword is when in reality.. its Free with the exception of the wait on spawn times AND the bonus of a pet summon just add's to the fun of it.
Is this item GREAT? no.. Is this item good.. Yes.. Is this item obtainable? YES even with a minimal group. And for someone around level 25 looking to level up in SK at the spires.. Hey.. this basic sword will get you through to the levels high enough to venture into Split Paw itself to obtain the pieces to finish the quest.
Ok.. now to the Clues to Spawning Lord Elgnub. I camped the Elite room and the Commander room for more than 3 hours with no such luck getting this pesky gnoll to spawn. But after a helpful PC told me to kill off all the Elites in Blackburrow to get him to spawn.. I set off to finish this difficult task. With the help of a level 40 Necro and his pet and a level 16 cleric (me being level 30) we managed to clear out every single Elite and Commander in the joint. Ohh I must mention that before we did this, I headed over to Sayer's house and hailed him to set the quest in motion. After I returned and the joint was cleared of the High level gnolls.. Trannixx Darkpaw Spawns and shouts out that he wants revenge ... yadda yadda. At that exact second, Elgnub Spawned in the Spike pit with the two snakes.
Now I don't know if his spawn is timed with Trannixx's Spawn and shout of death.. but I'm willing to bet it is. The coinecedance is too great.
I would love to do this quest again with a few guild members to help kill all the elites just to see if this Theory works. But killing all the elites DID work for me.

I don't think it is linked to tranixx. I am also sure that it is not on a set timer, although it could be random. I was in Blackburrow today. Someone else was taking down elgnub when I arrived, I watched. They killed and looted I decided I would come back later to camp him (as a 21 ranger) but as I was walking out I checked track and he had spawned again. This was less than five minutes after he had been killed, and Blackburrow was fairly empty at the time. It is possible that at the exact moment he was killed someone killed the last remaining elite causing him to respawn, but that seems like a longshot. Personally I don't care, I have my weapon and for a 22 ranger (untwinked) in the off hand it is pretty nice to take on gnolls with.

Me and a friend were factioning up in bb when i ran across him. I am lvl 32 necro and lvl 27 monk. We were killing every thing in sight. Tranix did not spawn but Lord did. It seems to me that u have to kill alot of gnolls to get him to spawn, The theroy bout the elites may be right.

Not related to Tranixx that I know of. Had Elgnub spawn without Tranixx showing his stupid head.
