Spawn

I spent two days in there working up Pick Lock on door in main room off zone. THe second day he just pops and comes in from behind hitting me. I laid him to rest, and he dropped the ring. The first time I've seen him ever. So he is just a random spawn, as I killed nothing in zone.

Gynok has no PH, he is a random rare spawn. Stop spreading dis-information.

He is not on a timer, he has no PH, he shows up when he damned well pleases. He does however have a set spawn point, and it is by the wall, in the middle of the landing right by the zone.

Kill all the "PH" ya like, don't matter one bit. He comes when and if he feels like it. Period.
I hate that mummy.

I found this to be a very frustrating camp. And if I never see the inside of Befallen again, I won’t complain. *grins* I spent about five hours there one evening and only got place holders. I checked back numerous times over the next several days, again with no luck. Then I tried spending another evening there. But I had to leave for a short time to do a transfer. And, you guessed it, the mummy spawned while I was gone and someone else killed it.

I had hoped that lady who killed it might just give me the ring, since it would do her no good if she didn’t want to do the quest. I didn’t realize there was a market for it. She wanted me to buy it from her, which I didn’t want to do. I was determined to do this quest myself, with out paying for it. Otherwise I would have simply bought the Paw itself. I thanked her but said I’d simply start camping again. She must have felt sorry for me, because she gave it to me in return for buffing her and her partner. I still wish I had killed that elusive mummy myself, but after camping it that long I was just glad to get the ring.

Now that I have my Paw, I may have to return to Guk and see if I can convince the Ancient Crocodile to give up his pants.
The Low-Down on Gynok

Here is the Bad News. Gynok is a Purely Random Spawn, and is Very Rare. There is NO trigger. The previous posts that say he will spawn after the PH shouts "You have disturbed my rest. Suffer as I have", are incorrect. I have seen the shout a dozen times, and it does Not guarantee that Gynok is next. The spawn is every 18 minutes and Is right next to the zone line to WC. Lastly, it does not matter if you clear the Skeleton and the 2 rats that are on the Landing, they are completely irrelvant--I've seen him pop with them cleared and with them there ( and this is after completing the quest 4 times )

I can find no reasoning to how often Gynok Spawns. One night I camped him for 13 straight hours and he didn't even pop. 3 days later I try again and he is the 3rd place holder I kill with the plat ring. Though.. durring my 13 hour streach I did encounter a few Dread Corpse Skellies who are not even listed in the Befalen Beastiary. Maybe there the true Place holder for Gynok and how ever many of those spawn indicate when Gynok will spawn next.

Just finished this one... The placeholder is near zone line to WC, and near the wall. Spawn rate was 15 to 20 minutes. Only saw him once in about 4 hours. Luckily he had the platinum ring

Good Hunting

I lucked out on this one. I had to kill him two times and both times he popped right after I killed the PH. First time he dropped the copper ring (last Sun) and the next time he dropped the platinum. This was a WAY easier item to get than the page for the Testement of Venear. One gold ring and the Paw will be MINE! ;)

Good luck.

NO WAY! The testament is a timed spawn with no placeholders, who ALWAYS drops the page. I have spent 5 hours on the paw in Befallen, and finally got the plat ring. I HAD the testament in less than that.

/agree ToV is easy as hell, Dyliin Starshine is on 8 hour timer, has no PH, and has a set spawn point, and he always drops Page 30, and Bayle List III.

Well i was accually checking vendors in freeport (on test server) and on Animie Moonspin I found it. The Plat ring for a mere 2pp! And so i bought it. Almost sorry I gave it to one of my best friends tho, but hell its no real use to me anymore, i got the idol of wayward spirit. Hmmm was nice to have it for the 30min tho lol.

lol, I believe you. A mere 2pp down the drain.. That is a regular platinum ring with no stats and not lore. Not worth anything.. Selling Gold Ring for about 750pp on Tunare server. Send a /tell to "xylum" or "tonnerre" if you are interested.

I just bought this ring off of a vendor in FV, and it IS the Plat Ring for the paw of Opolla, and cost WAS around 2pp (closer to one for me). I kind of feel sorry for the uninformed person who sold it.
#REDACTED, Posted: Oct 18 2001 at 5:35 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I would very much like to buy the plat ring on The Tribunal server.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 17 2001 at 10:00 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have one for sale as listed under the pricing guide on Xegony server. Name is Trizzen or Ravenar. I am open to good enchanter trades but would prefer a ROd of Insid Glamour.
Have one for sale on E'ci

Acutally... I was given the plat ring...

The cleric was running through Black Burrow going to get the silver ring from the spawn in the pool with the razorfish, and we got to chatting after he saved my butt twice =p

He sent me a tell saying he has something cool for me on his way back because his guildy who was continuing camp just got 2 of them (had a 3rd member I'm assuming) and he gives it to me, and leaves!

Not knowing what the heck it's for, I put it on for the +1 stat (hehe, I was a total newbie =p) and when I asked someone what the -cha stat would do, he said it would raise my prices! So I told him what I had, and he said he needed one as a wedding ring for his bride to be, and he'd buy me a full suit of leather for the ring! Hehe, being mostly naked, I agreed, and gave him the ring =p

Little did I know that ring goes for 1k+... /sigh

That would buy full leather for every newbie in the Qhills zone + a bunch more! Hehe, I'm still kicking myself in the butt since that's the last ring I need for the paw...

thank goodness for gynok! It was great getting buffs from all the higher-ups waiting for him to spawn! It made handling trains much easier for a 10-16 SK at the gate LOL! Nothing like having regenerate and shield of thorns to take on the entire 2nd floor LOL!!!

Thanks to all who helped along the way!

Zoned in and he popped up. Killed him and voila...Platinum Ring..60 secs..This got me going to do my 1st quest. Got Silver Ring and Bracket Weed from Mutant Fungus in Guk for Copper ring. Have camped Mutant Fungus for Degenerate Guk Weed for MANY hrs..nada..gave up..it's for the Gold Ring...it's just too rare..and/or doesn't drop any more..
That blows

I just saw Gynok lying on the ground and I looted it. Then I told my friend about it who is a cleric and very knowlegable about things in EQ, and he asked me to give it to him; because it is for a cleric quest. So I did. Damn that was a mistake. I was very new at the time...
What!!!!

Why the heak does this cost 800pp its crap!
1 agi oooo wow its not worth 300pp
RE: What!!!!

N00bs. *sigh*. Its part of the paw of opalla quest, and an annoying one at that. Ppl buy this ring at that price to avoid haveing to camp gnyok for 5 millon hours. Next time dont speak unless u have all the details.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 09 2001 at 12:13 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) LOL
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 25 2001 at 6:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Can i Ask you somthin? why would you camp such a pain in the but spawn just so you could sell the item for a petty 1k? when you consider camping spawns just to sell the item, 1k is petty cash. you could easily camp someone like Granchist in WW(who spawns a hell of alot faster) and he has the chance of dropping a 6k item, or heck if you like campin long spawns go kill that necro in Qhills and sell her loot for like 10k. i think that camping gynok just to sell his loot is a pretty ****** thing to do.
