a gloom nightmare  

LOCATION.
The Ledge they spawn on is at loc +1300, -475, +165.
If you look towards the north of the map you see a set of tunnels, The entrance to those tunnels is underwater in the river that runs north/south up the middle of the zone, at the north of the river where it ends. Head into the tunnels and at the very first intersection head right (roughly SE) and follow that through the mephits until it comes back out into the open. That's the ledge with the nightmares spawn. L

Just thought i'd share that since in the other 2 dozen posts you only get vague hints and references to other posts heh.

Being a big beotch for me right now. Helping a friend go through his. I think I never camped a single spawn from the entire 1.0-2.0 for mine for more than maybe 30 minutes ea (been a few years but i think there were 2 items that weren't up when i went to get them and had to wait for a respawn.) This time around I've spent now over 20 hours collectively on the 1.5 prequest and up to this point of the 1.5. It's been HORRID!! ugh.

Well welcome to another long wait unless your a **Lucky Looter** went out with my 85 Wiz and 71 sk. Only way to get to camp was threw underwater tunnel. Had to go past alot of hobgoblins then at the crossroad went southeast there you get mephits (seem to drop diamonds alot) just keep going until you find green grass and 4 horses. If you are you will be lucky and get your drop if your like me you will be putting up another post here on alla. Now I do not suggest you DO NOT run off this hill be or be prepaired for another run threw the water and sadly you can not pull mobs to you from the hill top.. Thanks to the Invisible wall blocking you from going back up or seeing the mobs you can see down the hill. As far as the spawn timer goes it did seem like a long wait but seeing I had some time to kill on round 2 I broke out the stop watch and waited and waited 30m and waited some more now 60m the waiting continued and finally 79 min later I had a repop, Woot - Last thing b4 I go you might find Vhaksiz the Shade ( Raid Enocounter ) LoL maybe 5 years ago kill him and he will be gone for quite a bit.. GL to all you SK's on your on your 1.5/2.0/2.5's

Max hit is correct, Mob does NOT enrage, HP amount is roughly 35k

That is what the Shadowknight steed should look like.
You know it's true.

Can no longer be pulled down from ledge (f9 targeting etc).

Drop SK epic 1.5 piece (Gloom nightmare hide)

Done them repeatedly with my 60 Shammy and a 60 Pally friend on Tunare. Pull with slow or get pally to with a bow and slow as they run off of the plateau... let pally stun to get his attention, and that's all the stun does becuase he won't be stunned... debuff, DoT, occasionally had to re-apply slow if the fight was takin a while, kept my pet at the mobs backside, keep the pally alive... wash, rinse... repeat..I just wish the spawn rate was a bit faster.

Not rootable, not snareable, not stunnable, easily slowed (even without malo line), can be blinded in a pinch. Watch out for his enrage at about 10%, takes my pet out if it gets in the way every time. GOOD exp for a duo team :-)

Just here to ramble on. I noticed that 2 of the glooms are impossible to cast on. At least for my 55 bard. And as you can see by my lvl these things have low resists to everything if I can solo them. I have a Selo's drum and it takes about 15 min to kill one...but for 3% xp for one kill, it's worth it hehe. When you pull the one at the SW corner that you have to use F9 to target he will run down the bank to the east and at about halfway down is a huge rock that he will step over. Just FYI. I hope it helps. BTW for you bards...don't get close lol It hurts hehe.

i r 64 chanter on VZ. i have been soloing these since i got beckon. tash and charm hobgoblin nearby, slap an AQ on him and then run up close to cliff to get aggro back off sick pet on him tash and slow horse. Great xp

Once again people, every PC takes hits differently than another PC the damage you take is based upon your AC and agility. So if some warrior says he got hit for 500 then hes telling the truth and the same mob hits a wizard for 800 then hes telling the truth people smell what i'm cooking, most of the time you can't pinpoint an exact DPS so everyone is right no one is wrong. Oh and i really like the way the mob looks very nice as are a lot of the PoN mobs. Out of the 3 i've killed one night had 2/3 parchment drops, hit up the hobbies also.

There are 4 spawns on the hill above the hobgoblins. The Shade guy is up above too. These have all been level 62 that I've seen. Out of the first four we killed, they dropped 3 parchments! Out of the next week and a half of hunting them only one dropped. Drops the bloody hoof for unknown quest frequently. I'd say average between 1 to 2 rounds. Drop either the hoof, parchment or nothing. Hits for around 543 max. Isn't very resistant to anything. Is immune to changes in run speed. The camp area is usually at the base of the front of the hill. You have to pull them with spells and usually have to use F9 for 3rd person view to see/target them. You'll have to have levitate. The far goblin side spawn is next to the cave opening. You have to clear 5 hobgoblin spawns to get to him. All the other spawns are free to pull. My method of pulling is to put on my extended range III bracer from Karnors, target one and cast snare (which will resist). Then run back to camp and in a couple seconds it will drop out of the tree in front of you. Have the chanter mez it (61 mez works), then the chanter or shaman can slow it and you can debuff it. Have the chanter cast mem blur or boggle so they don't get aggro when mez is broken. I would recommend having a tank stand next to the chanter because if mez doesn't stick they many times get aggro and die quickly. The tank can taunt it or if a pally/sk they have some great aggro spells. Once you kill all 4 spawns, start pulling gators, hobgoblins, nettling wraiths or run over to the guardians if they aren't camped because respawn is like 1 1/2 hours. :P The spawn closest to the camp area will aggro if you climb on the wall. Everything else has to be targeted and pulled. Hope this helps. All four parchments I've seen were ethereal.

This picture doesn't show it, but if you have your particles turned on, those horses hooves are surrounded in flame. It looks sweet as anything when they run.

Immune to root and snare, do not summon

usually lvl 62, max hit 544 seems to quad but not too sure may be only doubling it. Anyway not too many HP(for a 62 mob) maybe 13k or less. Medium MR, slowable esp after tash.

Fought one today with 61 warrior (me), 61 pal, 61 shd, 61 dru, 60 clr, 60 enc. It was yellow to me so the levels here are correct.
Shd pulled him from a raised area with no obvious way up there using spells, he pathed oddly around before coming down to the area where you can fight the hobgoblins.
Maximum hit pre-defensive was 575, typical was 300ish. During defensive max was 320 and typical was 160ish. Enchanter slowed him first or second try and then it was pure ownage :)
Dropped a 'bloody hoof' lore no-drop.
