Lord Gimblox  

OK this camp does suck big time, and right on the heals of the 1st camp which was no fun either, and if you wait to start epic these are just pointless green mobs, no xp even, which really adds to the suck factor.

But what REALLY sucks is that this is minor in comparison to the shards in Skyfire, if you can't handle this, then don't go on because each shard is about 2-3 times longer to get than this one step.

I've been on this camp for 32 hours over the past 4 days on the Tribunal. Someone helped me out and camped it from 8am to 6pm today. GM's of course are useless and never help. Guess we will have to wait for the next patch to find out for sure.....meanwhile, ill be in sol eye :)

He actually spawned in less time than it took to get Lord Begurgle. Even if you are a high enough level that the dungeon is all greens to you, make sure you load an AOE if you're heading in solo. You'll pull a nice social green train when getting to his room. But once your there, you're all set. Plan on camping out in that room though, he's no fun to continually have to make your way back too in the heart of the dungeon.

ok i have been camping this dude for three days...a total of 21hrs....i think soe took him out of their memory banks on last patch on the 17th....if he don't spqwn soon..ya'll gonna read in the newspapers or see on the local news computer thrown threw sony window and on it a picture of lord gimblox that says put him back in... signed the unlucky dwarf

this is got to be one of the boringest camps there is and going on my second day and if he doesnt spawn real soon i'l go even more insane than i already am ...come on Gimblox i have something for you =)

Well found out today that you only have to clear the room where Lord Gimblox is to pop. There is the only one PH and its in that room. It is a spawn time for sure of 19 min every kill. You just have to keep doing till the lord finally pops. Well I hope that help's

I just finished Lord Grimblox so you can trust my info. The location above is wrong. The loc is -96, -366 which is the room in between 17 & 18 on www.eqatlas.com map. Come in thru lavastorm and run down either pacifying your way thru or just kill the mobs, they are all green anyway. He is exactly a 19 minute timer. One gobbo spawns on each side of the room. The one on the left side from where you come in IS the PH for Grimblox. 19 minute timer does NOT mean after killing the PH 19 minutes later Lord Grimblox will show up. Its rare actually. I camped him for 14 hours straight!!!!! I didnt leave except to do one rez for about 10 minutes. I started him at around 7pm and he spawned at 9 am. It's random. Ive seen people even in my own guild, that got him on the first PH kill. Lucky dogs.
He is very soloable with a high level cleric. Still green to me at 58th level. Root him and stun/nuke as much as you have to to kill him, for me it only took an average of one high blast per gobbo. They usually didnt even have to be rooted cause they werent running at that point but have it up just in case. Some decent money can be made there also with gem drops and misc. items to sell. When your done just gate out.
I wouldnt suggest leaving the camp once you've started. While I was there I had 2 people asking if he was being camped. If you leave you stand the chance of losing your spot and have to start all over. His timer is just random at best. Some people get lucky.

At least with lord B you could mq it this camp has bored me to tears ..... been camping a week now nothing but ph's i can understand a hard mob , but this mindless waiting is just plain STOOPID !!!!!

two hours of camping and he spawned. was going in between this camp and the king, and then using the 20 minutes in betweent o go and kill someother named's spawns.
Easy solo at 55, four nukes and he was down. he's just got a tad more hps than the mobs around him, but fights like them.
on to the next part of the quest...

Just spent 30 hours on this, so I thought I would summarise.

Spawns in the throne room in Solusek's Eye loc is about neg 800, neg 370.

The room has two static spawns, and one wanderer who passes through. The wanderer can spawn in multiple spots, but will path through the room reasonably quickly after spawning.

The static spawns are on the raised areas in the north and south of the room.

The south spawn and the wanderer are random goblins in the level 26-30 range, warriors, rogues, shamans or wizards.

The north spawn is either Large Fire Goblin, Fire Goblin Shaman or Lord Gimblox.

Spawn time on all spots is 19 minutes.

Healers in either the king room or the room to the NE of the throne room will heal through the walls, so it is worth taking these out until a non-healer spawns if you want the most effort-free camp.

A terrible camp! I'm lucky enough to have more than one account and computer, so at least I PLed a few characters up to 30 or so there, but otherwise bring a book and try to get into the frame of mind where killing the placeholder is just something to do to give you a break from your book :)

I guess the ring can be MQ'ed, but only if the person with the ring also does all the Zordak parts of the quest also, including collecting the shards, and then MQs the Orb of Vapor. So not very practical, and not confirmed as far as I know.

I'm not adding anything new here, but I just finished another long session and I'd just say that this thing really is hit and miss - sometimes you'll get him in 2 or so PH's and other times you'll sit for hours crying in your hands.

Naturally I'm more familiar with the latter.

Bring something to do, go AFK maybe and watch some TV or whatever it is that will fill your time for about 20 minutes, but be warned of stray goblins that like to disturb your 'med break'.

Also, no need for KEI, at least from my knowledge, but a definite need for caffeine.

Now if you'll excuse me I have more head bashing to do.
