Targin - Where are you?
# Mar 10 2004 at 9:08 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, been camping Targin on and off the last couple of days. This morning I went in with another monk and a cleric, Targin was up, died, we rolled for the Code, other monk got it, no prob.

My question is how exactly do we get him to spawn.

I've tried both ways:

Killing the PH as soon as he pops.

Letting PH despawn and hoping Targin eventually spawns.

Suggestions?

possible trick to spawn Targin?
# Dec 16 2003 at 5:34 AM Rating: Decent
LOL within 30 mins of my post I got him!

I think the trick might not be to kill his PH immediately. I noticed the PH despawned after 5 min of popping then Targin popped soon after (I was FD at camp too). If you kill the PH as soon as it spawns maybe you never give Targin the chance to pop.

The problem with this is there are the ppl who kill every PH and get him, and then there are the ones who don't kill them and he still doesn't spawn. And then there are the unfortunate souls who have tried everything and still can't get any luck. Some ppl, like me, do raster for 50+ hours and then get Targin in 3. While others either have the opposite situation, or have to camp both for ungodly amounts of time.

As for him being as rare as Raster now, I don't really think that's the case. I think the reason is more of a result of the fact you don't have ppl coming to lvl in these zones anymore. They go to LDoN zones and so on. The less the PH is killed the longer it will take for the odds to start to shift more towards one of them spawning while you are killing them.

Be ready for a long camp.
I have been at Targin camp for 45 hours now on and off, not seen him once.
Another monk I met camped him for 150 hours.
Targin is as rare as Raster these days.

Have camped the King room area with 3 different characters for experience in groups. Spent over 25 hours there. Seen him pop 3 times total, BUT the last 2 pops were right in a row. Got the first one for someone's alt and the second one rotted when another alt couldn't get there in time. BTW each time we camped we were there at least 1 1/2 hours (3 1/2 hours continuous and no pop)

Just FYI he does despawn and spawn on his own. Was checking every so often with my druid and his PH "a greater kobold" as opposed to "greater kobold" was up. No one was in zone and about 15 min later Targin was up. I logged my 52 Monk but with King up at same time (just my luck) I couldn't get to him on the first go. Rested up hit it again and by the time I get there he is gone. Ugh.

Today has been a GREAT day for Monkey quests.

I zoned into SolB with a druid friend (55) and we checked track, no Targin, so we decide to go ahead and camp him for an hour.

By the time we got to his room, he was up (<10mins). He con'd lblue and we were doing fine until he resisted root and snare and took off running. What a spectactular train ... LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.

Zoned back in, camo'd up for the CR and he agro's me on the way through the zone.. so I drag him back to zone and stomp him totally nekked with no buffs and a druid healer with nekked mana.

I camped Targin on and off for four days. Hour or two each day. On the last day he finally popped after 6 hours of straight camping. This camp was much harder almost impossible for me (47 monk with good gear) to hold. The normal everyday kobalds r no problem, its the king, advisor and the guardian who are a pain. I teamed up with other monks on and off. I had no problems keeping kings room and adjacent rooms clear teamed with a twinked 41 Monk.

I finally got it grouped with my guild which is prolly the best way(Grouped), still decent xp and spawns r often so everyone was happy. King has good loot and there is armor for a druid quest that drops off other kobolds(no drop though)no incentive to you, but a good reason for a druid to come along.

He spawned on the left side of the chair/throne.
I soloed him to see how hard he was no probs bout the same as Raster of Guk, but I had druid bufs and didn't with Raster of Guk.

I think I've been some what lucky with Tagin and Raster but honestly believe the best way to camp is straight through till u get what u want.

9 hours straight for Raster of Guk
6 hours straight for Targin the Rock

Also a 52 pally that helped me clear kings room said that Targin spawned three times the day be for, this is hear/say so take it as u will. He only spawned once for me in 6hrs. But I did ding:).


Also u can get a weight reduction bag while ure down there, Large soiled bag. Think the mobs name is Guano(thougt that ment bat terd) Harvester. Just have some one buf u with see invis and look at map on eq atlas spot #14. Even though u can only put small items in it. It still comes in handy when ure a monk. I finally went after my bag when I was grouped and could pull to them. Although there was a 55 Monk down in that area soloing the LDC's with no problems.
Hope it goes well for you.

I just finished a greuling 116 hour raster camp last week, and have been checking for this guy off and on since then. tonight some of my guildies were down in solb helping a guild cleric with epic turn-in. one said that targin was up and i didn't believe him...everyone reinforced his story so i was off to solB with my monk. about half an hour later we arrived and targin was NO LONGER UP. it had been about 5 mins since he was last tracked and then entire king area was popped so there was no chance for anyone to kill him. is it possible that he has the same kind of pop cycle as raster? where he depops at a certain time so that the spawn keeps cycling when nobody is there

Where exactly does this guy spawn? Somme ppl tell me left of the chair when facing it, some the chair. And can anybody confirm this guy has a ph? I´m trying to get him for hours now and no luck.

Camped Targin for over 24 hours killing everything as soon as it would pop.. Fell asleep FD, woke up a bout an hour later.. started over again for another few hours and BAM!.. he was every bit as Rare as Raster was.. Raster took 20 hours btw.

Took me about 20 hours of on and off camping to finally see Targin. I was able to solo fairly easily at Level 47. Good luck and prepare to wait, because I dinged twice in the King Room waiting on this "uncommon" spawn.

hes on like a 1 hour spawn, ive killed him more than once a day
Every 3 RL days??
# Jun 10 2002 at 9:16 PM Rating: Default
I have been camping him for 2 days now, and was told he was killed a few days ago and I missed it. Someone I was grouped with today tells me that he spawns every 3 RL ( Real Life ) days. I am not sure on fact or fiction here, but it would follow suit with my past chars that have hunted there and with the timing for the next spawn. If he dose spawn every 3 RL dayss then he should pop tomarrow some time. I will write back to let you know if I got it or if someone else was able to kill him. If anyone here can confirm or not if he spawns every 3 RL days it would be great.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 31 2002 at 8:44 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Killed him today 5/31/02 i was VERY lucky camped him for 30 min before he poped got the KPC group to help me kill him. Im still lmao cuse he missed EVERY hit.

ive been camping him for 5 hours ( 2 comps 2 accounts ) No pop Any Special Ways?
Trigger him
# Feb 08 2002 at 4:07 PM Rating: Default
OK I am not 100% on this but I had a group sitting in Sol B camping king spawn. Had my druid port me to talk to Qwuinn, then ported back and and Targin poped in like 15 mins. I am gonna try this with Raster and all these other supposed Rare spawns. Odd I haven't heard anything about trying to trigger these guys. Might wanna try it if your doing the quest. I suppose this could have been one huge coincidence, but we will see.

Dunno, it's possible. After camping 6 hrs, I had a guildmate find Qwinn and chat with him about his [keywords]. 15 minutes later, nothing... 30 minutes later, nothing.

45 minutes later, pop.

Woot. Not sure there is any correlation. Some guildmates and I camped this guy last Saturday on Fennin Roe. We got him in about 2.5 hours. One minute we were up to our necks with Kobalds and the next thing I know I am pounding Targin. Went done down pretty easy. Now I am scouting Lgulk in prep for the bane of the Monks existance. I hope he is not as bad as the Goblin Alchimist for the Treant gloves.

From everything I know and have read, Raster is a million times worse than the Goblin Alchimist.

After a baffled attempted ending in FD and running for the zone, I was able to clear and hold the room at lvl 51. Had a haste item (SCH) and a adamantite club (15/25 proc stunning blow). No Targin yet but I am waiting patiently.
