This is the last piece I need for my bard, and holy crap is it a doozy.
I was able to do the whole lute chain on my 62 froglok shaman (MM worshiper, if that means anything. I was apprehensive to the gnome and still got all dialogue, and all pieces turned in by the same toon. Never killed for or against Ak'anon.) I had help in Fear but could've soloed it given enough time. I also had help in Old Sebilis, which I could NOT have done on my own. Those shrooms are a pain..
Bought both scales for 5kp altogether. Kedge was easy, try to single pull all of the seahorses before pulling Phinny. I got 3 adds and killed him about 4 times over, looted my piece on the first kill and gated. Two clears of the KC mob spawn area and I had my skull. The lute is tradable, so I put it in shared bank and picked it up on the bard. All said and done, my shm is now 65.
The rest of it I did starting at 36 as my bard. The race was simple. With a tank merc, you can easily kill the Karana caster for the next piece. I went to the "old spot" for Neze, had to kill about 50 placeholders and 3 scoriae hornets to get Neze to spawn. Dropped first kill. Went to RM since I figured it'd be easy. 20 minutes later I had Blackwing down. But this piece..
This piece.. It will be the death of me. I'll end up clearing the whole zone with a few people one day just to get it to spawn. Unless someone will highsun all the mobs for me.
Edit: Fusionx of Saryrn cleared mobs until PH popped on my head. I can't thank him enough :)
this is just strange to me but iv been camping eldrig for two months off and on usually for 3 hours a pop at different times of day doing the highsun thing and killing everything no eldrig. finally decided to kill nez there is a good guide on that strain ran through skyfire on way to burning wood decided to track for eldrig did two thorough loops through zone nothing up went to burning wood followed guide to pop nez worked like a charm looted red guts finished looting other corpses ran back through skyfire decided to track for eldrig first then continue highsun deal but lo and behold eldrig was up killed him got chromatic guts no one had been in zone for hours took me 35 minutes to zone into burning wood force spawn nez and return to skyfire in that time period eldrig spawned and by my best calculations by where i found him and his speed of travel he spawned rouhgly when nez died. im sure it is coincidence but it makes me wonder about these programmers
There are two confirmed spawn points for Eldrig, i can't remember exact locations, but they are fairly close together and just north of the hall to OT. so plant a couple of people and start the highsun and once you get the right PHs back to the two spawns, strap yourself in for a long haul
Working on this for my bard for the last week or so. Last night i get to the zone and there is another group there already using Highsun on mobs and it worked great. The 75 bard i had with me eventually got the other PH sent back with highsun, so whoever says highsun does not work, was just unwilling to try it is all.
Ok camped the Ph at 500 4000 for 6 solid hours...Eldrig spawned on lucky mob 25. To find the PH I hard some friends <71 SK> <65 Wiz> <74 Mag> <71 Cleric> slaughter the zone indicrimately near teh wizard portal fence. All that crap about how to highsun the wandering PH is BS IMO. Finding the SOB is sheer dumb luck and once you find him hang on with both hands. We got the PH to spawn 3 times and we have no idea which mob did it. I can say the list of PH's at the spawn point was pretty limited.
a wyvern, a chromodrac, a wurm, a mature wurm, a skycinder drake, a bottomless gnawer. Thats all that spawned in 6 hours the day Eldrig popped.
i been camping where its posted on maes page and not loot page. Says NW os zone in. I went to LoC on named page. But no luck after 10 ph's , does it really spawn by wizzy port in ?
I have killed the PH 14 times, at +1700,-3800, and still no eldrig, everyone else says they have killed 5-8 PH's anyone know if his spawn point has changed or he's bugged. or if im just really unlucky
Multi-Quest Others hand their item in, the one that wants the reward hands theirs in last. Last person to hand in, gets the reward. Only works on quests until PoP. PoP+ has hidden "flags" that won't let you.

He seems to pop over by the wizard port-in area. Got him twice in an hour last night and he dropped the entrails each time... Had a bard run over and loot one of them. Was hunting in that area attempting to get pearlescent fragments for cleric epic.
