a glyphed ghoul  

Started in the Graveyard and killed toward the entrance. Took about 8 or so times but he finally spawned next to the tree by the pond. No shield, but I did get the vampire blood I needed.

Approx. Loc. is +12, +2302, LFay. Killed 3 sets of Dark Elves then he popped.

For those who have not yet heard the good news, as of the June 7 patch casters have received a major upgrade and the aggro radius of green mobs in zones like this has been dramatically increased. Apparently Verant is hellbent on making us "dungeon crawl" come what may.

I was there yesterday with my 46 monk trying to get shield for my paladin. When I got there (about 23:30 MT) there were 5 L 50+ characters in the zone and a 45 shaman. Had to kill almost everything between the gate and the graveyard because, like I said, the greens aggro from a mile away. Some of the casters can nuke for close to 200 pts - fortunately they only seem to have enough mana for 2 good nukes. At one point I had 4 of them on me though and killed the last one with less than a bub of health left.

There are 3 spawn points directly outside the graveyard and 3 inside it. The 3 outside are single spawns that form roughly the corners of an equalteral triangle - one on each side of the gate and one on the wall opposite by the tunnel to the pit. The 3 inside are all double spawns and are all located behind the 3 sets of graves (refer to the EQ Atlas map). I couldn't nail down the spawn time exactly but its about 25 minutes. I killed everything here for 4-5 hours (not including the time spent on an ill fated venture into the castle with a 47 enchanter) and never even saw a glyphed ghoul, let alone a shield. The imp familiar did spawn in graveyard though and I got the Bloodstone Eyepatch (4 ac, + 3 wis, +3 agi) from him. The spawns are mostly initiate familiars, glyphed familiars (both nukers, the glyphed ones seem to have more mana), glyphed guards and sentries (not casters), and the occassional glyphed aegis, custodian or warder. The last 2 are casters. Both can heal and the custodian can nuke, not sure about the warder. Oh, one final note, at one point I turned my back on one of the melee types (don't remember which) and got backstabed for 113 damage.
Interesting postscript: I was sharing the zone with a 37 paladin very early in the morning. Him, the 47 enchanter and me had been grouped together but we were camping different parts of the zone. About 04:30 I see "Phin has looted a Mistmoore Crested Shield". WTF?? I've been camping the graveyard for hours and he gets it off a random spawn near the zone?? Turns out the killed ghoul near the south entrance to the gorge (the long crescent shaped passage between the pool and the graveyard). The best strategy would therefore be to kill everything between the zone and the graveyard (as Asterson says), but I pretty much had my hands full just holding the graveyard. Asterson implies he soloed his area at 27 but in view of my experience I would not recommend this to anyone who isn't looking for an ass whupping.

Slik level 35 Sk here, this guy everytime I've seen him has had the shield, I dunno if Im just lucky or this is actually a common drop. I think this is the best zone in the game! MistMoore, Unrest, for ever!!!!! =)

if he has the shield on him, will he be wearing it?

Ok, Maybe this is not the place to write this, but the earlier you know the better you will be in a High level group.

If you are camping a spawn in a group and you can't use the item then and there don't roll. if it's the second roll then thats fine.

If I ever find stuf I can't use, I don't roll. I just enjoy the exp. if it spawns thruogh the whole group and I can sell it. then I roll. IMESHO

That vampire blood gives 100% resist to magic!!!! Not sure on how long it lasts but whoo hoo ehhh? Probably 1 min thing if not less. But can you imagine the fun dueling a wizard friend? hehe

I believe these are the guys that drop the Crested Mistmore Shield. I lost the roll on the last shield I saw. Nice +wis item.
