Just saw this guy get killed by a minotaur before I could get to him near the cave entrance. Corpse popped upon death of course but he was carrying a staff. Anyone else seen this guy?

A Goblin Alchemist in Xorbb's Gorge

I followed "A Goblin Alchemist" around the gorge for 25 minutes today. Have done extensive grinding in the gorge over the years, don't recall seeing this mob before. He stops and buffs the other goblins. He ranges all over the zone with no real obvious pattern (i.e., sometimes stops and turns around at south intersection, sometimes doesnt).

He did not path into the central area where the static named evil eyes spawn. He did aggro most things, though occasionally passed by muddite elders. Without me babysitting him he would have been dead within 2 minutes of spawning, as he isn't very tough.

Couldn't find any info on him so decided I had best kill him. Dropped Humerus Handled Mace. A nodrop 5/29 1hb.

A Goblin Alchemist has been there since the beginning, he is part of the Treant Fists quests. The reason you have not seen him before is because he is an incredbily rare rare spawn, in addition he and his PH are on a 72 minute respawn timer, in addition they are usually killed by the roaming mino's before people see them unless they are camping at the Runnyeye zone.

**Also the Humerous Handled Mace is the quest piece.

Curious of any other theories to spawn xorbb.

-at 60+ hours of camping the north intersection
(easy to do when working on something else at the desk)

-high level grouping clearing all spawns and keeping them down for 30 minutes

-killing all of one type of mob... you end up with 90% minors, etc.

What else? anyone got one that works for sure (lol)

Personally, I think that before you can use books in the game that are not yours, you should have to do a quest.

Like a Freeport to Qeynos run, with flagging NPC's along the way. Just target and hail them as you pass by, One in each zone. <sorry you PL'r, and sorry to your druid wizard companions too>

Once you have done this and zoned to PoK using the appropriate book with flags in place, then the rest of the books will open up to you.
RE: Noob Travel
# Jun 20 2005 at 8:43 AM Rating: Default
Not a bad idea but some of us have already lived with having to make that run for two hours and don't really feel like going through a flagging process so we can flag our 80th twink for "zoning".

For everybody else though, not bad.

Through east commons or runny eye (from Misty Thicket) ...... POK, as cool as it is. has taken a very real feeling world, very tangible, and made it just a series of places.... as if ALL zones are planes. I think every noob should have to go from Queynos to Freeport on foot, Gathering items as they go. If I was a GM, Id make a quest for new people. Showing them how individual cities connect. Its sad really. This is not a flame or slight against you.... its just that its made the world sort of inconsistant.

On 35 druid sitting around EE camp, I hit track and found "a goblin veteran." However, when I tried tracking to it in this gawd awful zone, it showed up as being in the wall to the left just as you are looking out from Runnyeye. Mob stuck in wall, no piccy...but it's there somewhere :(

Running through here for fun the other day and saw a new mob on track. "Beholder Overlord". Conned yellow to my 65 so I thought we would try to take him out. Got two groups of 65's well equiped and engaged him. Quaded for 1K, flurried, unslowable. We wiped and when we did the CR, he had despawned. CRAZY MOB for an old world zone. GM event??? Has anyone else seen the "Beholder Overlord"
Curses!

"Curse you Evil Eyes, I whisper to meself in me cabin, night by night." No really. Anyways. I just wanted to post this, when an Evil Eye charms you, he just walks off with you tagging behind, which really stinks (especially if he takes you back to a full camp, ugh) But i was just wondering, what happens if, say, ur a mage, or some other pet class, and is charmed while having a pet out? Does the pet dissapear? Or does it/he/she attack you, or does the Evil Eye's pet have a pet?

I dont know whether to post this as a mob, but in beholders on march 16 (5yr aniv of EQ) something new popped up. Me and my 52 rogue friend Rorom were hunting Muddite Mud, and i told him that Xorbb spawned here. Now being adventurous, we wanted to kill the king (we love killing the main mobs of zones). So we are sitting around, killing muddites and evil eyes. Then something called "The Fabled Evil Eye" spawns. I dont see it posted so i dont know whether it truly exists or not. GM events had been happening all day so i don't know whether it was a new creature thanks to GM's. So we kill it, and it drops a Fabled Polished Bone Bracelet. It was exactly the same as a PBB, except it was no drop and had +5 wis, +5 Int, and +15 mana and the affliction focus 2. I looted it and wore it. It looked exactly the same as the PBB. We killed there for a whi;le. The mob was more common than the Lords, and it spawned on both sides. It also spawned outside the king area too. It was also up at the same time another one was up. This could be a GM event. But, oh well, i like the bracelet =)[quote]

There is indeed a Fabled Evil Eye and it does drop what Areeon says, saw and killed it today in the gorge. It popped next to the throne.

Looting Percentages
# Oct 15 2003 at 11:08 PM Rating: Decent
Ok..I spent about 6 hours over two days here farming muddite mud for my 52 - err now 53 rogue.

These are the results:
21 muddite mud
60+ small clay
20+ large clay
<20 heavy clay
40+ ore

I killed over 100 muddites...and they dropped at least one form of clay...they do not drop at the 40% the rogue poison site states...

The beholders...I killed them 30 times..I even killed the whole zone and they were popping in the chasm, wondering around ! They dropped 4 bracelets (+3 WIS/INT affliction efficiency I), ring of +5 health, globe (first/sec slot) of +5 health. They dropped loads of pp the beholders and chasm minataurs.

Chasm minatours drop the minatour axe worth 3 pp at 115 charima.

I killed goblins and gouge minataurs too. I never saw the King...

I made 200 pp over that time :-) + the muddite mud + the clay...

Ok this is for all the mages out there, first pull with a long distance bolt on EE itself, and dont let pet attack until it aggros from EE spell itself, or you have a slight chance of getting your own pet charmed and attacking you! One bolt and one spikes is usually enough to drop the eyes, the Lords need about 3 good nukes, keep up major shielding for that extra magic resist and in about 2 hours of killing with a KEI and clearing out the room (including Minos) you can easily make over 200pp. All this with a whopping 67 Charisma!

Ran into an elemental today in the Gorge, conned red and was scowling.. told my lvl 55 buddy about it and he came down, we slayed it. It conned dark blue to him. it dropped nothing, disappeared upon death, and spawned nothing. We should have tried hailing or something first lol.

My friend, you have surely experienced the wrath of an elemental that had been lured from it's master. I have had this very unfortunate event happen while I was slaying the vile evil eyes. My elemental that had been fighting alongside me suddenly turned and started attacking. In my weakened condition from fighting the eye, I was not able to hold him off and retreated to the zone line. After a little recovery time, I reentered the zone to find that my errant elemental had slain an unfortunate soul passing through, and was standing over his body. With support f another elemental I destroyed the one gone bad, with no experience rewarded, no drops, and the body disappeared to whence it came.
Best Zone lvl 20-30
# Sep 12 2002 at 2:15 PM Rating: Excellent
This IMHO is by far the best zone from early 20's to around 30, with one condition: If you can get the EE camp and do it solo, you're in for a ton of XP and loot. Consider the drops on the Eyes:

1) up to 4pp or more in coin
2) gems valued between 3pp and 7pp are common
3) Optic nerves, 1pp to vendors, common drop
4) Magic items like the PBH and PBB, none of which are lore, so you can keep farming and selling.

There is nothing else that I know of at this level that yields this kind of loot. You can easily average 4-5pp per EE kill, and if you hold the camp for a couple of hours you'll end with a few hundred plat and most likely a few magic items as well.

The key to the EE camp is it needs to be done solo, unless you don't mind getting charmed and killing off your friends. As a mid-20's ranger, it was perfect. Med along the cavern walls; start by rooting EE pet and EE went down quickly, then finish off the pet. If you get charmed, no big deal, nothing will aggro you while you're charmed (you'll just follow the EE around a bit). Watch for wandering minos and muddites when fighting and you'll be fine. Once you break the camp it becomes a little easier, especially if you aggro the Eyes as soon as they spawn and before they summon their pet.

If the EE spot is camped and you're not a potter (there is no other reason to kill the muddites, except faction and xp), take on the minos. The great thing about killing stuff in this zone is that it raises your faction with the Runnyeye goblins next door. By the time you're about done with the Gorge, you'll be right around the level to take on the boss mobs in Runnyeye, and if you've done enough killing in the Gorge you'll be able to go down to the depths of Runnyeye and not catch a bit of aggro until you start attacking (go go BABS, BALS, BAM woohoo).

# Jun 19 2002 at 11:59 AM Rating: Decent
Could a level 30 druid kill stuff here? Im desperate for wisdom, at a meger 136, and a pair of Polished Bone Bracelets sounds very nice to me. The eyes are supposed to be enchanters, but I'm assuming at my level I would resist quite a few of their spells. Could I kill them?
RE: Druid
# Jul 03 2002 at 4:52 PM Rating: Decent
My shaman was 31 or 32 when she started camping evil eyes, and Lords. Exp was almost non-existent, but the loot! In addition to PBB's she was making close to 100pp in gems per hour. If you need cash and wisdom this is the spot for you. Just don't be disappointed about the lack of exp. Oh yes and King Xorbb is a handful at 31 and 32. After that a piece of cake.

I had my rogue here for a short time but didn't stick around very long (level 14). The muddites usually drop heavy clay crap which will encumber you fairly quickly. The exp is nothing spectular, on par with most other areas. At 19, I'd suggest Highpass Hold and then heading down to the Keep once you hit 20 or 21. You will get 1/3 to 1/2 blue per mob in your low 20s in a group of 6. Most people ding 1-3 times/day down in the Keep. The loot usually sucks until you hit the warrior room or the raider room, where fine steel is dropped along with ore that sells for 1-4pp.

If your pick pocket skills are up, you should be able to take out 1-2pp per mob. I've been doing this and letting the others in the group take the loot but I still grab an occasional loot when I see them holding a weapon :) By 35 or 36, my disarm was high enough that I'd disarm them once every 20-25 tries, pick up the weapon mid-battle, and no one would even notice. On a good night in the warrior or raider room you should be able to make 50-150pp on money alone and another 20-50pp selling the loot. The great thing about the zone is that there is bank about 1 minute away up the stairs and several merchants nearby. The bank *is* bindable so if you die, the CR isn't a hassle. There's a rogue trainer in Rivervale and one also in the Hold (I haven't tried the one in the Hold since I hear the smugglers aggro on any PC).

One warning, though - this zone is usually heavily camped. Each camp can have waiting lists of 2-4 people waiting to join. Once you're in a group, make sure your schedule is open and stay in it. If you leave, you'll usually have a long wait to get back into the action.

not to be rude but the gems aren't worthless and actually neither is the jewelry i am a 36th lvl chanter and take several lower lvl alts there for the exp and the LOOT!! the gems alone are almost priceless to me as a jeweler and most of the jewelry is worth 2-5 pp depending on server and chr when selling....the nerves are for warrior crafter armor quest and the valuable at that too...shop around i'll bet you will fnd that the gems and jewelry are worth far more than you think unless ya got a high level alt that feed your bank account 10k at a pop...

As a 34 Druid I went to see If I could get a PBB the other day. I split the throne with another low level group.. I took one half and they took the other. Well.. including the named Lords I killed 27 of these things and no PBB dropped. Loot was:

some droppped up to 3pp
eye nerves-once ( sold well at vendor)
eye sacks 8
many gems
occaisional cloth peice
chipped bone ring
HP stone
mana ring
onyx ring
mithril ring
jade ring,... etc

My suggestion is to AOE both eye and pet then Kill eye first. The pet has an odd pathing that is very easy to avoid even if not sowed.
As a 34 druid with barely any resist gear on I was only blinded once for 5 secs and almost none of its spells stuck. Charmed maybe once or twice briefly. Had no problems.

I spend most of my time at the Evil Eye camp, soloing the Lords and eyes, except when Soptyvr comes, then i go play an alt until he goes away, hehehe...Grouping for the evil eyes is a BAD idea! They charm like sexy nude seductresses, will charm the tanks of a group, and the tanks will start beating on the casters, bad news. I think a lvl 24 or so would do better soloing than in a group of that level. When charmed solo, you just run around in circles, or stay still, and nothing gets hurt, and sometimes, for some strange reason, you gain a little hp back when charmed. /shrug... so! Be safe, and do it solo!

Toasted him this morning (April 11th at 0645 Pacific Time) as I was on my way to Runney Eye entrance to log. Loot consisted of the following:
* Damaged Annals
* Small block of Clay x 2
* Small Ore x 2

Total hit points around 300. I know this cause I hit him with Thunder Strike (262) and then beat on him with my Forest Giant Hammer, 3 hits 21, 3, 17.

Only killed him because I had never seen him before... Anyone know his rarity? Use for drop? When did he start spawning?
