A Shattered Golem  

My buddy and I have camped the golems at the temple in an effort to loot the jawbone for going on about 40 hours now. I think we've finally decided that it's not worth it. It would be a nice item for me, but I could have gained a couple of levels in the time we've spent trying to get it to drop and it isn't THAT good. I have no real insight as to how to make the Shattered spawn, but I figure this might help others to know what they are getting into.

In those 40 hours, we kept all golems around the temple completely cleared and kept ahead of the spawn. We also took a few snakes out of the front two camps to break the monotony. In that time, we saw 4 Shattered Golems, 3 Ancient Servators, and one named snake (Revenant Shiznit or some such thing). The Shattered dropped the gimp *** belt 3 times in about 2 hours. That's right, 1 spawn in about 35 hours and then 3 within just a couple of hours.

I've never seen any of the nameds spawn anywhere but in the front 4 spots. So, maybe clearing the back 3 is a waste of time. /shrug We witnessed the nameds spawning at any of the front four locations, so they don't have just one specific spawn point. However, I'm beginning to doubt that ALL of the golems at the temple are PH's. Again, I dunno for sure.

The challenging/frustrating part of this camp is the constant training into the temple. While, yes, it is the entrance to a highend guild target, the nasty situations are typically brought on by people just being foolish when training to the entrance. If you're gonna train, just head straight into the temple. If you stop and sightsee, you give the mobs time to catch up to you. Since many of these mobs don't have a point to return to, they just sit there at the entrance to the temple indefinitely. Many a time, I have had to aggro them all and train them to another location or my SK buddy will go feign them off somewhere.

I am a 56 SHM and my SK partner is also 56. Expect to catch anywhere from 1 to 3 wurm adds at any given time. These things burrow underground and given the wacked out physics of the game can aggro you even though you don't see them anywhere near you. BTW, those little dust clouds that you see roaming around are them. They are fairly easy to kill, but cannot be rooted nor snared.

To anyone choosing to camp the jawbone: Good luck. Bring plenty of fish scales.

hiya
necro 60 here in Vallon zek.
i kill many eternal golem..and this mob havent spawn yet...any clue??
those eternal golem are easy to kill and considered fast spawn...

You can buy Coldain Skin Gloves, which have nice ac and wis, along with some other stats and they sell for about 3k on Tarew Marr, these gloves sell about that much as well.

Me have been camping this golem on and off for a week. I think I have killed about 200 eternal golems or so to make him to spawn. I have only seen 1 shattered golem spawned so far but he only dropped a belt. The stat is 12ac 5sta and some resist (I cant remember exactly). A friend of mine told me she has killed 2 of this golems and he dropped the belt twice. I think the belt is his common drop. But I really wanna know how rare are the spawn rate and the drop rate of the gloves? I am kinda tired of camping em for the gloves and might give up soon.

PS Too bad. This might be the only good upgraded gloves to split paw hide gloves that I can get at lvl 54. (still using split paw gloves atm < )

Aeroe 54 druid
Tunare server

Killed him today, He is a chump for a group of 55+. We had a 51 rogue, 57mage(me), 60bard, 60 necro, 57 chanter and a cleric, dropped him like every other golem, he was only slightly more resistant, I had to cast malosi Twice instead of once.

Anyway, we got the worst Item he drops, grey flesh harness, 12ac some sta and mana and some sv cold, dont remember exact stats cuz they were very forgetable

COMMON DROP
grey flesh gloves:
ac6 int6 wis6 cold resist10 hp20 mana25 gloves
(he drops these EVERY time)


RARE DROP
Golem jaw bone
5ac 8int 8wis 50mana and some saves I don't remember face
(he drops these VERY rarely--out of 8 saw 7 gloves and one jawbone)

he drops Golem Jaw bone
+8 INT +8 WIS +50 Mana some other stats face item, VERY nice, DRU/CLR/Pure caster

It dropped some kind of Grey gloves Had some AMAZING stats considering the level.

Dex 10
Sv Cold 10
i think it also had 6 int and 6 wis
plus some HP and mana.

not sure if i remembered the wis and int numbers correctly... also they are wis and int casters only..

2 groups of High 40s to mid 50's killed him in about 4 seconds, and i'm sure that 1 group could take him out

Edit: Well they added the gloves to the item database I guess that makes this post useless hehe
