Was able to pop the Age Old Rockhopper with my lvl 64 sk in the hopes of it dropping gants remains so I could camp,pull up my lvl 30 ranger, and loot it.(All before the corpse decayed)To my luck,after casting gather shadows several times,going into the room where he pops,killing his ph(a rockhopper) and casting it again,I am able to say that all that was on the corpse was a bracer and a pelt.I can try again but it doesnt seem to hopeful.BTW: It was green to a lvl 64 so I am glad that I didnt try it with my lvl 30 ranger. Hope this helped!! Good Luck! :)

Please do not kill An Age Old Rockhopper. It causes all of the rockhoppers to despawn and the Sambatas to spawn. It can take hours and hours of killing placeholders until the rockhoppers come back.

Rockhoppers provide hides for tradeskilling, including all acrylia-based armors.

Thanks,

fought this mob today as a 47 Ranger and he conned even to me. used calm animal and snare no problem but I wasnt expecting the blind spell so it was hard to actually tell what was landing and what wasn't until the fight was over and i was dead lol.. I think I got him down to about 25% before I died and I was using steadfast servant for heals.

Hello all!

PLEASE, dont kill this mob. Kill all the hoppers around him, in the caves what ever, but not this one. If he aggros, FD, gate, memblur but dont kill him. When he dies ALL the hoppers poof and then the cavemen are in (alla owlbears and sonic wolves in Hollowshade). Getting rid of the cavemen is a true bummer, so let us skin hunters in there and dont kill this guys PLEASE!!!

Been camping the caves for 4 hours till this guy popped. Killed him with my pet and all the rockhoppers stopped showing, 2 mins later, the sambatas showed up. Killed one and looted The Shard piece for VT key. Then I killed the leader because people wanted the rockhoppers hides.:)

Dont have to kill him for the Shard

The Shard drops off of normal rockhoppers too, so you don't have to kill this guy and then kill Sambatas till you get a lucid shard. All it does is really mess up things for the tradeskillers. Killing one tribal leader to " make it all better" shows a misunderstanding of how this works. You have to kill GARN, who is a very rare spawn indeed. Tribal leaders are placeholders for Garn, but most of the time you kill one and 15 - 20 minutes later, you get another of the same.
It can take days to get the rockhoppers back.

You would be better of just invis'ing down to his room and then dropping it, although when I last went down to pay him a visit he had a friend in there with him,but I was 59 at the time and some of the mobs were a bit more of a hindrance back then.

What I did not realise is that this is a bit like Hollowshade Moor warevent,in as much as when you kill boss rockhopper the Tribals will then take over. Not sure which of the Tribal peeps is the boss to send it back to rockies but I killed the level 60 nec erudite named that spawned and that didn't seem to do the job???? But that is one of the reasons that people don't really like others coming along and killing since most will be farming rockhopper hides for their tailoring.

Hope you find this post helpfull in some way =)

Instead of arguing about it, consider that maybe the root/snarability is a random issue with the spawn. I've pulled the big yet unnamed hopper a number of times. Sometimes snarable, sometimes not.

Big blue dino dropped last night with the following loot:

Gant's Remains
A Centerstone
A Crushed Skull
Galorian Remains

Ranger plooted Gant's remains. I know that the centerstone is for another gimp weapon in DP (Wolfslayer quest). I still don't know what the Galorian remains are for, but some people think they are quest related (while others like me simply sell them to vendors for 4pp).

What I'd like to know is what the crushed skull is for? Does anyone know?

There is a mob called the 'Tribal Keeper'. He is the placeholder for Tribal Leader Garn. He spawns in the same place as the Tribal Leader and the Age Old Rockhopper. Just keep killing the placeholder and eventually the leader will spawn. Once you kill the leader all the sambata will despawn and the rockhoppers will repsawn.

One note... if you've been killing a lot of rockhoppers you will have very good faction with most of the sambata. Note I say "most"... there are four of them that are always KoS regardless of how much the rest like you. So if you've got sambata and you want to make the rockhoppers spawn, it's relatively easy to do since the 'friendly' sambata won't assist the KoS ones.

The first KoS sambata is the third one into the entrance.

The next KoS one is in the second cave, the one where the floor is sharply angled.

The third KoS one is the placeholder for the tribal leader. This is nice because it means you can easily pull the placeholder all the way outof the cave if you want and none of the others will aggro... or you can just stand there in the cave and kill him.

The last KoS one is the placeholder for the Tribal Advisor, in the cave across from the leader's cave.

Note that the leader himself is on the "friendly" faction, which means every other sambata in the cave will assist if you try to pull him out.

RE: This is how it works

Pretty good info.

Kill Tribal Keeper and the Leader will spawn (usually takes about 8 tries befoe he will finally pop). This one placeholder is a 23 minute spawn, so be prepared for a long day. As a 60 druid with good faction with the Sambata I can solo pull him right past the unsnareable Shaman, and he won't assist other than to heal him if he is nearby. Other than that the Sambata Shaman won't move.

Once you get Tribal Leader Garn to pop and you kill him (so far I have done this 6 times, he drops squat) the Rockhoppers return to the cave.

As a solo druid the leader cannot be snared or rooted, so I tossed a dot on him and had just enough time to invis myself and run out to get by the KOS tribals, taking the Leader with me. At 60 nothing will assist the leader, so you can kite him outside if solo. Other than that, he's easy if you have someone there to tank him a bit while you heal, then nuke him down.

Finally, once the hoppers are back, you can kill the Rockhopper that was in the same spot as Tribal Keeper/Leader. After several kills (again, 23 min timer on these) you will get the Age Old to spawn. Killing him brings back the Tribalists...

The reason I was even doing this for 4 days was to try to get Gants Remains off of the Age old Hopper, used to get the Tribal Warsword (2HS 23 31 str4 wis5...). So far the Age Old has dropped 2 Centerstones for the Wolfslayer quest, nothing, or a hide. No Gant's Remains. Kinda sucks when you figure that it takes an average of 6 Keeper/Rockhopper kills just to get the named to pop. That's about 5 hours just for one cycle. So basically 25 hours this week on this quest with very little to show for it. Pretty weak.

Also, the Age old Rockhopper that spawns can sometimes be snared. Sometimes he can't...

When I was 35 or so, me and 2 level 37s were killing Simbatas and my beastlord pal pulled this Simbata Tribal Leader. He looks like the rest, just bigger. He was red to me and packed a mean punch. We couldnt take him and had to zone to ME. So Im guessing minimum level 40. My spells werent touching him (wizard). The 2 beastlords got him down to about 75% health I think, but I cant quite remember. Perhaps this information is worthless, but Im trying to give what little information I know in the hopes it does help somebody out.

Faced this beast today. In a 4 pull, I unfortunately had this guy targeted first, so I attempted to mez him. Got the message that he can't be mez'd, so of course I try to stun him so I can back off and root. Get the message he can't be stunned. Have no idea if he can be rooted because he blinded me during my root cast, then killed me shortly after. I never did get to con him, but the 53 pally puller said it was blue. Just an FYI: the flintstone looking guys who pop after the age old is killed are tougher than the hoppers and wont give as much xp as the hoppers do. Good luck and happy hunting.

Galorian bone fragments are NOT used in the Tribal Warblade quest. "Gant's Remains" are needed. They both look the same in inventory.

55 and 56 mage dropped this guy, had absolutly nada when we killed him... NOTE - KILLING HIM TRIGGERS THE SAMBATA TRIBE TO SPAWN IN THE CAVE (who will remain in the cave until u kill their leader... then it will rotate to rockhoppers again), the sabata are much more lethal than the rockhoppers, very hard to solo one as a 55 mage
