Did this today on Selo. Spawn time was a little over 24 min. Went through about 12-15 placeholders before he popped. The sage popped once as well, and got a nice little Runed Cowl as well.
I camped the sage room today (9/28/18) for 9 hours and never saw the scribe. Only saw the sage three times. Very frustrated. The Magus was up when I went to check on him and he dropped the SMR first time.
Came back this morning and killed the 2 knights and the 2 wizards behind fake wall, next spawn the scribe popped and I got my ink of the dark. Just like in the pic above the scribe spawned where the knight was with with fake book shelf and not behind the fake wall. Just charm and give the empty vile. Quest seems to be working fine. Good luck!
You were in the revamp. As a named I doubt you could even charm him with the spell that charms up to 84, have to wait for the annual revamp to end before you can get the normal one. (they should make the revamp zones a quest triggered non-instance zone)
I camped the ghould scribe yesterday with a 55 chanter and a 55 Paladin. Scribe was not up, so I flattened the 4 mobs in the area (2 visible, 2 behind a false wall). Parked the chanter there while I ran the paly around trying to find the executioner, and the savant. neither were up. Got lucky and scribe popped on the second round (didn't time it 15...30? mins). Tried to charm him but had my pet, so I mezzed him because he aggroed on me. Dumped my pet and then got attacked by the other 3 pops that respawned as I was trying to deal with the scribe. Paly deals with the other 3 while chanter charms the scribe. Conned the scribe and was amiable (you can never be to sure, had collaboration up just in case). Did the turn in and got the ink. Chanter gated out to break the mezz. Paly killed the scribe and looted a cinch cord. Executioner finally popped and I also snagged an executioner's hood. Goodies for my trader.
Just remember...drop your pet BEFORE you try to charm the scribe, lol, details, details
On my 50 enchanter, I camped the scribe for 10hours and he didn't spawn, so quit cause I had RL things to do. Came back to camp him some more about 12hours later and got him to spawn in 3 1/2 hours.
This is what I did, I tashed him before he summoned his pet, he cast on me and my 49 pet attacked. I stunned him, told me pet to go away and charmed him. This all took about 15seconds or less.
Ok. On a 52 enchanter and been camping the scribe for two days. I finally got him and charmed him. He was killed and i was attacked by all the mobs in the surounding area.
Lesson: keep all other mobs off that spawn timer...
I've gone down to LGuk three times...the first time the "a ghoul scribe" was up, i charmed him with Boltran's, handed him the vial. he Frroooakkk!'d at me, and didn't give me anything back. I went to grab a new vial, and lo and behold, someone killed him.
I camped him for 5 hours, got him to pop again...used Allure this time, handed him the Empty Ink Vial, he froak'ed again, and didn't give me crap back again. This time I say "I'm going to get a new vial and try again, no one kill him please." and left another char parked there while i went...alas someone came and killed him, as i /shout, /ooc, /tell, /auction, /emote NOT to kill him...they still claimed "oh, i didn't see you say anything".
So, its BACK to LGuk for me, but can anyone suggest why this isn't working for me or what i'm doing wrong? I put in a /petition and the GM that responded gave me back the Empty Ink Vial and said that the quest is working properly.
Place is on a about 30 minute spawn timer, wasn't up when I got there but spawned in the next room pop. Popped at the west knight PH, not at the wizards in back. Easily charmable by L49 charm spell Allure and charm lasted full duration with 255 CHA. Also heard a rumor that he can spawn near the gargoyles, though I never tried as he spawned in front of me in the sage room (just SW of executioner room) as I was being told that.
Went down to Lguk to get my ink of the dark, get to his spawning point, he had recently been killed, and room was clear, i summon lvl 49pet(55enc) didnt have 3k to blow on 55pet, but no the less my pet was tearing through the frogloks hp,pet had haste and i was chain runeing, i kill wizard behind wall, wait a while he spawns, he automatically tried to charm me, i mezz him, tash him, and then reclaim energy my summoned pet, i charm him, had him empty vial, get ink of the dark, to wrap it up was easy most time consuming part running down there
For those who can't find a loc in a dungeon: Get to the dead side by underwater tunnel. Invis undead yourself or bring a Paly or Cleric. Follow the tunnel underwater to the end, get out into a room to the left. There will be a fork, take left fork and take out the bats and undead warriors. Go left, stop in tunnel, invis undead, see skellies, take tunnel to the right, swing left, over the bridge with wizzies on the left ledge. Into the tower, go left. Find the stairs down, by the sideways spike, jump down to the third level. Put your back in the corner, and go diagnolly left, ie; 10'oclock. bear right, then left, and right, and enter the room with a spider web. At the scribe spawn point you can see him without entering the room. A melee also is in the room and 2 wizards are behind a secret wall just waiting to nuke you. Be prepared to fight 3, have the Enc CHARM the scribe, mez the wizzies as you feel appropriete. In relation to the executioner room, as you leave the exec room go left, left, and right into the scribe room. Good luck, hope this helps you spend less time learning and more time camping and killing.
Ok I charmed the Ghoul Scribe as it said to do i gave him the Empty Vial. Now what he didnt give me the ink of the Dark. The write up did said Charm and not Mez. I even killed him to see if maybe he had it on him but no luck. What is Wrong?
