a griffon enforcer  

Spawns on the death of restless harpies. Had pulled 3 harpies while i was boxing and grinding some AA, killed two of them and two of these guys popped. It got a little hairy, but I eventually killed em. Drop some decent gear, sells for 400-700 pp to vendors.

Just popped as I was workin down a Highbone harpy. Conned yellow to a 62. Hit no harder than 659 on my 1800 ac. Immune to stun, like everything else around there. Was able to partial slow. Dropped Stone of Sufficiency, Feather Bundle, and some money items.

I've had him pop on all harpy islands but the Queen and the mesa (one before the queen). I suspect it's a random chance from any harpy though. Unlike those that have posted, he's always popped before my harpy died, but at a random percentage anywhere from starting to kill the harpy to it almost dying. Usually this totally takes me by surprise, but on one occasion I actually witnessed the griffon spawn against the cliff face, turn to me, then run directly towards the harpy. This is supported by another occasion I witnessed where I left the cleric merc tanking a harpy while I messed around with my pet and some summoned items. When I looked back I saw the griffon standing right next to my cleric merc but had NOT yet agroed. I therefore suspect that the griffon isn't scrupted to agro, but is simply scripted to run to the harpy that called for him. If you kill the harpy quickly and invis, or possible train the harpy away somewhere safe, you may not even get agro.

Killed him a few times tonight. Each time i was in a different location, and each time, he spawned IMMEDIATLEY after killing 'a harpy noble'. I was just killing anything i saw, and i would guess after about 20 minutes, he would spawn. This may just be a coincidence, though.
Dropped the stupid belt, wristguard, then earring. No Enchanted Harpy Blade yet /sigh

He Poped while 72 war and 55 druid where killing Harpies. Cruched both our heads hard(about 1500hp each). Then meleed the war. My druid heals where bearly enough to keep warrior alive. Though he was down to 50% when we pulled the first to harpies. He dropped the enchanted harpies sword (woot). So yes He is still around. Not sure there was a place holder or that we where close to the upnest on level 3. There was an alarm given by one of the mob harpies before he poped though.

I have not seen the griffon enforcers either since latest patch...

I believe there are two versions of this mob currently.

At least several of the islands have a static version of this mob with a repop time of about one minute. On one island, I repeatedly killed it for at least an hour, maybe two hours, and it always dropped either Blackfeather Noble's Earring or the Razor Sharp Griffon Quill, and maybe some vendor trash. I have killed the static versions on several other islands in more limited numbers, but the same drops were noted. Leaving the loot to rot would have made it hard to check the corpses as there would have been a huge pile of them, so I destroyed a lot of it. BTW, if you hate pulling, one of the islands has this mob positioned so you can kill in it's spwan site with no adds, and just keep killing and killing without moving. Pretty easy experience.

The other version of this mob occurrs rarely on killing a mobile harpy of one kind or another. I have had it happen four times for sure, where there is a call for help, and then 'a griffon enforcer' showed up. Each time this happened, there was a different loot drop than the earring or the 2H piercing. Of these drops, one was the Enchanted Harpy Blade (Coryn's Island I think, maybe Dorinda's island, but doubt), two were Studded Harpy's Belt (Coryn's Island), and one was the Blackfeather Chain Wristguard (Mestle's Island).

I was told by someone that certain areas are more prone to call for help than others, but I am uncertain about this. If anyone knows how to provoke a call for help, and posted it, that would be wonderful news.

After they came out with the 13th expansion. The Griffon kept poping over and over each kill. Me and my monk pal hunted this mob all day kept poping in the bear cave off to the right inside. I hope they don't fix it until i get a harpy blade or the aug.

dropped an aug, dun remember the name

+5 regen
+5 DS

will post again when i can get him to spawn and drop it again hehe

Me and the wife were hunting on the first ledge up from ground lvl. We had cleared the first area and moved back to the second half of the ledge. We had be fighting and killed maybe 5 total mobs, when after one of the harpies died, the enforcer spawned right in its spot. Had to run due to the fact we had 2 other harpies on my pet. We zoned out and back in. Went up to island and found enforcer still in the same spot. Re-summoned a water pet, and buffed it with temp and summoned armor and weapons. We took it out pretty easily. It dropped the earing. I already had the blade (bought it for 30K) but was hoping to get a second to replace that dent in the plat hold. Guess this guy can spawn anywere as previous posts say, so only thing I can suggest is to pick an ledge and kill everything over and over and OVER!!! Will get pretty mind numbing, but if you want that focus, tough through it and get some AA's while your at it.

Ok myself another another group have been doing this all night we have had it spawn serveral times on the 3rd island with the nobles droped lots of belts and the earring. Still no luck on the pet focus.

This mob drops unique items depending upon which island you kill it on. Its level also iincreases as you go up the islands. On the 4th island it is level 63.

On the 4th island its common drop is a cloak, the rare an augment. I have killed this mob on the 4th island maybe 35 times and never seen the supposed pet focus item drop.

I'm 71 cleric was self buffed and was able to solo this mob lastnight. He popped on me when I broke open a hut on second island. I used cleric summoned hammer and X haste potion. The new self buff Vow of Valor made it possible for me to solo does 1300 hp heal over time . He dropped the Razor Sharp Griffon Quill

Anyone have any info on this mob? Where is it? Does it summon? Soloable?
