You all are gonna hate me, but I was walking through WW, saw this guy, no clue who he was, tried twice before I killed him. Only tried again for principle. The little bugger deserved it, he killed my pet! Got the gloves and the earring. That was cool. Had no idea the earring could be worth so much. Does this sell easily for the 4K price listed above??

Hmm, I guess I killed Grachnist about 40 times so far and got 1 Totem and 1 Earring so far, beside that I only got the Gloves. Good luck.
Finally

Turned my 51 earth pet loose on the fort population. Genocide is fun. :) Anyway, I must have killed 40 Grachnists before I got anything other than gloves and that was a totem. Then I killed another 10 or so before earring dropped. Faction inceases with Legion of Cabilis, so not a total waste of time. Fairly boring though.
Why high level people want this....

The reason we high level people want this ring is because it's an insta-caste item that works indoors.

Grim Aura is low level (sub 20) necro crap buff.

When going up against Doze or the keeper, and other indoor high level mobs, that debuff, this item is especially usefull. Every time they debuff top spell, you insta-caste Grim Aura. Hence, you never loose your good buffs during the fight.

This can also be done with Jboots, but becasue they only work outdoors, the gobby earring is prefered.

Tonight over a period of about 3.5 hours, I killed 25 Gracs. (At one point there was SIX up at the same time). He is a random spawn ANYWHERE inside the Goblin Fort, just keep killing all the normal gobbies there and he'll spawn fairly quickly.

He dropped 25 Iksar Scaled Gloves (always drops), 2 Heads, a Pearl, and an Opal.

it would seem grach can pop at any of the static gobby spawns in WW, i have seen him in the ruins and over by the FoB zone.
RE: Multiple spawns...

Yes, Ive seen him pop anywhere inside the fort as well as in the smaller goblin encampent thats on your right when your running along the path in Warsliks Wood to the Field of Bone zone.
Kick ass earin
# Jul 29 2001 at 6:10 AM Rating: Default
Ive owned this earing for about a month now. I love it. You can NOT seperate me from it! Only problem I have with it is I have 2 warnings on my account from it :( Damn flamers in EC petitioned me for clicking it constantly. :( Anyway, I always have the effect as my first buff, not for the 13atk, but for dispells. Pain in the *** lossing skin like nature or what not.
Look Around !

Camped Grachnist for 3 days looking for a Totem for my druid, as well as the earring for my warrior. On the first day the earring dropped on kill #8. Unfortunately, I didnt get it as it went to another warrior. Had a totem drop on day #2 and day #3 when I was soloing. On the last day, the fort was camped so I spent time soloing in the ruins outside the fort. Was able to pop Grachnist almost as many times outside as inside. On the last kill (outside the fort) he dropped the earring for me. Group Kills = 13 (1 earring, 0 totem) Solo Kills = 25 (1 earring, 2 totem). One earring inside the fort & one outside. If the fort is camped just make your way around outside killing all gobs at the various ruins on both sides. Eventually he will pop and the frequency seems about the same as inside the camp, you just have to do a little moving around for it.

39 Monk Soloing Grachnist
# May 29 2001 at 12:40 PM Rating: Default
I'm a level 39 Iksar Monk with the Crescent armor from Dalnir, Executioner's Hood, good crafted monk jewelry, maxed in FD, bare hands, 1HB, and 2HB, and carry 2 Cane of Tranquils. Provided I can get Grachnist the Destroyer out in the open and away from helers and buffers while fighting him, I still come down to almost dying before he is "destroyed". I've even tried debuffing him with a Pumice Stone. He has like 2000 hit points and I wind up at least being down to half a bubble before he keels over. At one point, I only had 10 HP left before he started running. It takes a lot of damage and it definitely takes a lot of time if you are going to try to solo him as a 39 monk. Be forewarned. I spent 6 hours and killed off nearly everything in the camp and killed off about 8-10 Grachnists. All I found was either Iksar Gloves or his skull.

I'll definitely be trying again though.

ok ok heres the real deal

they do drop off the destroyer, hes is a totly random spawn off any goblins in the whole zone, but the best place to look for him is at the bridge camp.i would say he drops the earing about one in 50 or so, takes about 5- 10 hours unless your lucky, the clickable proc is +13 atk, and after ya cast it ya put your other better earing back , cause the spell last like 30 min. now +13 atk is like + 26 str , and this thing taks up no slot at all after ya cast it so, can ya say UBER item. this is also good for dragon raids, cuase its insta cast, can ya can move while ya cast it. so as the dragon drispells ya cast it again so all the dragon is disspelling is youe grim aura. i have never died on a dragon raid sience i got this earing. now i have made a living camping this item, i have sold about 20 or so of them for 10k no less. the thing is ya have to explain to each buyer why this earing rocks so much. most times i sell it for 10k in about 30 min in freeport. most high levels would rather pay for it then spend the time capming it themselfs. and are willing to trade most anything for one. one last thing , the other goblins are way fast sow ya need SOW , snare or some spell to kill them
when they run. good luck all, and get rich

Any Rangers (or high level Monks) with this know if Grim Aura stacks with Firefist? And which is more attack bonus??
also..

>>>>>>>>>>>>I camped Grachnist with my lvl 35 troll warrior, a lvl 40 shaman and a lvl 37 necro both friends. I believe, after performing a short study, that Grachnist spawns every 45 mins in the goblin fort after clearing it of the majority of the mobs inside.
>>>>>>>>>>

I killed 3 Grachnist's in 12mins...
Good for anyone

Right click instant cast items are useful for every class. It's a way to counter ae dispels that only take one buff away.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 16 2001 at 6:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Don't waste your time or money, go get a forest loop, far less rare, easy to buy or camp...only 1 less ac and some nice stats too

# Mar 13 2001 at 1:19 PM Rating: Default
My faithful monkie friend and I were hunting this guy in Warsliks Woods last night, and decided just to have fun and kill everything in the outpost across the bridge (the small fort). Then we moved over to the large fort, and killed anything that decided to aggro. My monk friend was about to log, so we went back over the ridge and found him sitting there. We killed him, he dropped the gloves, which were nice. But I can say that I am pretty sure anything there is a PH for him.

after this last patch the effect on the earring is no longer +7 to attack it is now +13 :) i am on sol ro and am willing to sell or trade this great earring
Less than 4k LOL
# Feb 18 2001 at 11:06 PM Rating: Decent
You can sell for 4k pp if you want, but trust me, you are loosing out. High level players are more than willing to trade stuff for this that are worth way more. I got a fbss for mine )
