Eldrig the Old  

or at least it feels that way lol. I hate this camp.....

Camped old spawn point... man it took me 6 hours and 11 min's to be exact.. lost count of spawns.. was geting worried that loc had changed.. then he pop'd and gave me my guts.. so as of now old tried and true loc is accurate.. slow as all get out but right..

Seen him pop many times while clearing the minor named mobs for Felia.

Confirming spawn of p1780, n3860, took about 4 hours, but got it :)

High sunned everything around the bone yard area, I had 3 in group so i could use HoTT to see what i had previously HS'd, saved on double ups.

any luck with the new spawn location?

N.East end of zone, no mobs seem to roam by his spawn. 13 minute timer. Plowed all trash around area until mob popped at exact loc. Got him on lucky spawn #13.

I've been killing every mob in sight.. and still have yet to see Elding ... can anyone confirm if this new loc is correct?

Confirmed, his spawn point is +1750, -3840 since the 2006 patch.

The best way to get him to spawn instead of killing 1840143 mobs is to have someone sit at that spawn point (+1750, -3840) and have the bard use his level 56 Highsun song which gates any mob back to his spawn point. Do that to any of the following mobs:

a wurm
a wyvern
a chromodrac
a skycinder drake
a bottomless gnawer
a mature wurm
a skyash drake

So run around skyfire and do that and hopefully you get him to spawn. Worked for me in a matter of minutes. His respawn time is 13 minutes. GL bards.

Me and a friend went to SF to get me the gut for my epic i had my 58 bard, and 70 druid, he was 70 Bst. we would take turns going out and looking for the PH. He would go out and kill for a whlie, then i would go out and highsun while the other would stay at spawn point. after a few hours of this we never found it. the Bst went out one last time to kill, and as i was sitting there i looked on track on my druid, and sure enough Eldrig was on it. So i started tracking to him, and found him flying around in the very NE corner of the zone.
So we all ran there killed him and i got my gut. Im not sure if he just Spawned in a different location, or if he had been up and wandered up there. but either way hope it helps

I would suggest, using the Highsun method, and not using fade. The ph mob i found was NOT in the walled port in section. Me and another bard hdyra team put our non bards at spawn, and ran around whole zone highsunning everything on the ph list. do NOT fade or clear aggro, jsut use INVIS selos so u dont aggro extra mobs, taht way .... you can use HoTT as a marker for mobs taht you have already HS'd.

If ya get into trouble with too many mobs ..jsut pop selos(Travel selos) and outdistances them to the zone edges adn u can sit,regen cure stuff.

Worked very wel for me when other methods was being stubborn

BTW if you hoping the HS'd mob will auto aggro on ur toons at the spawn point ...it wont. HS is jsut enough aggro to override proximity and the mpb will instantly start to wander south again with the said bard in hott.

Spawn Point is correct.
+560, -4010

Spawn Timer is accurate.
Roughly 12 - 13 mins.

List of PH mobs is correct.
skycinder drake, a chromadic, a wyvern, a bottomless gnawer, a mature wurm, skyash drake

Heres how we did it.
- Me (51 bard) and 50 cleric waiting at spawn point.

- 2 lvl 65+ mages over by the wizzy port in killing PH mobs. Triggers spawn of PH at spawn point.

- Once first mob spawns at spawn point, those mobs become place holder. Only dropped 3 chromodracs before Eldrig Popped.

Quite easy with 2 uber mages.

Everything that Pan posted below is correct.
However, after the place holder spawns, (Or Eldrig) spawns, it will slowly wander down to north of the Burning Woods zone line.

Without Song of Highsun it can be kinda of hard to find him. So maybe this will help.

After it gets there, it (Very roughly noted) travels back and forth from -3250, +2000 and -3250, +1000.

I used my Selo's song of Travel and ran about on those loc's back and forth on it. And after about a minute I found a wurm sitting on -3250, +1000ish, and a Wyvern just north of it. I charmed the wurm, sicked it on the Wyvern and killed them both, and just to make sure it was one of them. I didn't kill anything else and went to his spawn point. +500, -4000. And right on the dot, 13 minutes, place holder spawned.

After about six place holders. (This time =P ) He finally spawned.

When he spawned, I followed him for a little while, once he got up near another monster that wasn't a Cromadrac, (Because they dispell, and that would remove my charm) I charmed Eldrig and sicked him on the mob, it was an Old Wurm

While they were killing each other, charm would break, and I'd get summoned right in to the middle of them right away. But I had Selo's Accelerating Song on.

And because their attack timers were used up from hitting each other, I could get away while only getting hit like once, then I recharmed before I got summoned over again

The first old wurm got him to about half, then I recharmed and found another old wurm and had them beat the crap out of each other

Eldrig was losing this fight, BIG TIME. So I helped him out with some DoT's/Slows, making sure to keep my Selo's up.

Eldrig fell to about 7% HP's then my charm broke and he started to run.

The old Wurm had about 20%

I was kinda scared because I thought the Old Wurm might steal the kill from attacking Eldrig so much, so I left eldrig to run around real slow, (from being at 7%) while I killed the Old Wurm to erase him from Eldrigs list. (Chant kited it)

Then I went back and killed Elrig and got the guts.

Plus, while they were fighting each other, I took out my lute, and sang my healing song so I could regen from the 1-2 times I got hit inbetween each charm breaking.

All while being an unbuffed, level 51 Bard.
