As you enter the caves located at -1989, 1802. At the "T" Go right. You'll see an intersection with two non-roaming mobs. The overseer D spawns in the PH to the right. To ensure you are at the correct intersection. The Spider and iskar room is strait ahead and the Chief's room is to the left. This guy does not move and spawns about 3 or 4 PH's in the SAME SPOT EVERYTIME. GOODLUCK
Wanted to check out the goblin caves in FM...the lower ones near the Mines of Nurga entrance. Invis'd and went in...there he was....DOT'd him...grabbed the jar....and viola.
Never did find him in Nurga or Droga....pure luck.
Sweet. Onto the next cudgel...this one sounds much harder.
Man.......this guy takes forever and a day to pop. He spawns in the gobby cave complex in FM and spaws at the bottom of the ramp, in the hallway to the named room. I kept the caves clear for approx 8 hours before Overseer Dub showed his face. If you are smart you can take care of the nightdust, iksar slave skull, slate chant rock, and maybe even the sponge mushroon while you wait between spawns.
The overseer was up when I first cleared the caves. Sounds like I was lucky...though I couldn't have cared less about him. He dropped a Mantle of Mirth and the skull canopic.
Since the recent revamp of both nurga and droga most or all of the quest mobs from nurga and droga have been moved to the goblin caves in Frontier Mountians. I have been killing lots of gobs in those caves and have yet to have him spawn. Talked to one other person who said he has seen him though.
I just killed Overseer Dublish for the Canopic. He spawned in the tunnels at -1989, 1802, -389 just outside the second deepest room. I have been camping him for two days clearing the whole place and got just about every named goblin to spawn before he did. It wasn't a total waste as you can get your chant rock and the Iksar skull for later Cudgel quests at the same time. Good luck.
This is in Frontier Mountains. I can confirm that I saw him spawn at that same location as well. I watched him for about 5 mins and he did not more (other than spinning around).
Since I've killed him half a dozen times at different goblin spawn points in Nurga, I'd say he has a random chance to spawn in place of any other goblin. Haven't hunted in Droga enough to see him there yet.
I've now seen him spawn in three different places, and had those spawns within half an hour of each other; I would guess he's a rare spawn at any of the goblin spawn points, so the more you're killing the more likely you are to see him... I also suspect he only spawns when he's been killed, because I hadn't seen him anywhere in the many hours I spent in the dungeon until I came across one spawn and killed him. Green to me at 45 and I just let my pet kill him, so no idea how hard he would be for a level-appropriate character to kill.
Canopic dropped once or twice out of those three spawns, I had no idea what it was for so just left it to rot.
I was trying to kill Overseer since july 2002, finally i get him in nurga (8 november 2002). seams to be a random spawn, but finally i can continue my quest :P .
Was in mines at top of exit waterfalls doing the two gobies there for my saftey bubble.. Overseer popped within 30 min. Im a necro so the canopic rotted.
Since the september 4th patch he now is a common and maybe random spawn, he was broke for a couple months though. I have seen him twice, in the spot you mention and his old spot at the 4 spawn room.

Ack! Where is he?!?!?! Dang VI and their Nerfage! It appears he isn't spawning anymore or at least not where he used since they changed the zone aroun - /cry - needed him for my iksar shammy's cudgel quest - last item needed to boot.
You can get to Mines of Nurga through FM or Droga, tho would recomend FM as the easier way, also after reading the other post the skull seems pretty common, g00d luck w/ it
