Gnoll Slayer [Intermediate]  

 

Fun fact: The gnolls in Highpass with the new models, aren't actually flagged as gnolls. I get the bane damage in places like Blackburrow, but not there. When you go from hitting for 22 to hitting 12, it's hard not to see. Going to petition, see if it'll get fixed.

Lord Elegnub is actually on a cycle. He spawns about 3 or 4 times every 4 or 5 hours. I'm not sure on specifics, though.

Tonight, 2/25...I was PL'ing my newbie Frog Paladin w/ my 36 naked druid. =) Well this dude spawned w/o warning in the snake pit. I knew him to be rare so I camped the frog for safety and then killed him w/ the druid. I logged the frog back in (lvl 7 Paladin) and looted the baby. I fought a few more things in the pit and then he spawned AGAIN. I killed him again w/ the druid and this time let the druid loot it. I just got my two intermediary gnoll slayers. Not a bad item for my new twink. =)

Back when I did this the first part of this easy quest with my rogue for kicks, to spawn Elgnub I had to hail the farmer in the house in Qeynos Hill and he told me about Gnoll Slayer and a smart Gnoll that would steal his child. About 2 hours later Elgnub would spawn in the pit room, didn't have to kill any other kobolds. Thats how it was when I tried it a month or two ago, I doubt it would have changed since then...

I dont have the gnoll slayer but am thinking of doing this quest with a freind of mine.
I heard about this quest by simple accident while i was yelling across zone for free sows..... got a tell from a level 35 ranger who was donig this quest asking me if i was near the cottage there in qey hills ...he asked me to talk to the sayer guy there to help trigger a spawn for him...upon asking about it found out it was for this quest and he actually did get the gnoll to spawn that holds the baby..... was cool I thought...but I think he had the right idea if you choose to do this quest...go into bb and camp the area, have someone trigger the spawn.... cause that seemed to be the best way to kill the random spawning specifically if your after this gnoll..... I talked to the man and it worked....the guy that was doing the quest recieved what he wanted to Whooott to him hope he finishes it.

Killed this gnoll twice tonight. Picked him off as he was running a fellow to the zone and again while clearing some lower rooms. Time between kills was about 5 minutes. He was an even con to me at 23 and a caster so don't wait to long to find the zone line if your all alone and can't play dead. Gotta love Feign Death.

First off, those of you who say this item sucks.. just shut up and go back to twinking your character up beyond humanly possible. Fact, This item against gnolls has great damage ratio output. This is indeed an 11/28 sword againest Gnolls.... it hits for 12-15 on normal creatures, hits for 28-33 on Gnolls.
The second version of this sword is also good by itself and Excellent on gnolls. 25/40 is equal to the Wurmy AND to top it off.. the +25 SV Posion is a GREAT item to take with you on raids for higher levels. I dare anyone to look at Secondary equipable swords at around the level 30 and see if anything pops up with an SV Posion even close to this rating.... you won't find it.
I'm tired of hearing people ***** about how bad this sword is when in reality.. its Free with the exception of the wait on spawn times AND the bonus of a pet summon just add's to the fun of it.
Is this item GREAT? no.. Is this item good.. Yes.. Is this item obtainable? YES even with a minimal group. And for someone around level 25 looking to level up in SK at the spires.. Hey.. this basic sword will get you through to the levels high enough to venture into Split Paw itself to obtain the pieces to finish the quest.

Ok.. now to the Clues to Spawning Lord Elgnub. I camped the Elite room and the Commander room for more than 3 hours with no such luck getting this pesky gnoll to spawn. But after a helpful PC told me to kill off all the Elites in Blackburrow to get him to spawn.. I set off to finish this difficult task. With the help of a level 40 Necro and his pet and a level 16 cleric (me being level 30) we managed to clear out every single Elite and Commander in the joint. Ohh I must mention that before we did this, I headed over to Sayer's house and hailed him to set the quest in motion. After I returned and the joint was cleared of the High level gnolls.. Trannixx Darkpaw Spawns and shouts out that he wants revenge ... yadda yadda. At that exact second, Elgnub Spawned in the Spike pit with the two snakes.
Now I don't know if his spawn is timed with Trannixx's Spawn and shout of death.. but I'm willing to bet it is. The coinecedance is too great.
I would love to do this quest again with a few guild members to help kill all the elites just to see if this Theory works. But killing all the elites DID work for me.

well i jsut got this wep... was 6/28 +5dmgbane, im only lvl11 bard but i saw this guy and knew of the quest.
so i got my bro to log in and kill him =) hes lvl41 bard also, one he killed him (was a caster and took about 2hp bubs of my bro, so hes pritty hard - dam under conend mages) well any way i handed in the baby and got this wep.
aint to bad for a newb..
you said they added the "bane dmg" in lucin.. well if they bothered to twink the wep up with the dmg add vs gnolls im sure they fixed the quest..
well will try finish it with my bro, will post any info i find with screen shots =)

oh btw if any ones got any info on it (not the BS stuff i have been reading.. plz send it to BuZeR@NME.com)

I have the gnoll eye needed for this quest if anyone has the gnollhide tome or the sword itself (crappy version) I want them will pay just sent me an email Sailormn32@aol.com

Hi all,
I got this sword this morning and wanted to share how I did it. First, I cleared out the Elite room and then made my way to the commanders room. I cleared this room and then made my way to level two [-80,-100] and cleared this spawn; usually an elite gnoll guard or sometimes a splitpaw commander. Second, I went back to the elite room and voila a gnoll shaman, cleared the room and headed back to commanders room. Low and behold another gnoll shaman and I cleared that room. Then, I went back to second level and cleared that spawn again; wasn't a gnoll shaman (. Third, I went back to elite room and woohoo a gnoll high shaman. I put the smack down on him and headed to pit. Boom! Lord Elgnub. Hope this helps. I think the key is the three spawn areas. Good hunting
