Boots of Shadow Walking  

 

Widdowhuggers post (second below mine) is dead on for direction as to which PH = Oomgado. My own case was similar to other posters below me who've gone after this item--a long, long wait to even see Oomgado himself show up, much less drop the boots.

I camped him sporadically for about a month and a half, going out randomly to just check the spawn, then sitting a couple of hours max; in that time I never saw him once. Then, having gotten other, more pressing camps out of the way I decided it was time to really dig in on this guy. Just over seven hours of place holder after place holder, he popped--and gratefully, he handed over his boots on his first appearance. All totaled, I probably gave the camp 15-20 hours. Judging from others posts, that isn't uncommon--perhaps even leaning toward the short side.

Best advice? Just do something around the house while you sit your character against the wall by his spawn spot. In doing so, you'll only ever deal with two spawns: 1 roaming named (1 hour spawn timer), and the PH/Oomgado pop (20 minute spawn timer). Crank up the volume on the speakers so you'll hear when you've been engaged in combat, and aside from those moments read a book/watch a movie/clean your computer room/what have you. It's a mind-numbing camp, so distracting yourself will help chip the time away.

Good luck, campers!

The loc is "Pos 660, Neg 1330, Pos 144"

For those who hate doing /location heres how to reach the camp.

From Grimling forest Zone line, head North till you see a giant castle/building, it's easy to spot since it's gray and well sticks out like a saw thumb. On the West side of the building is the entrance.

Note: Vampyres cast invis on them selves. So you may need see invis. Also they are undead.

Enter the building and you see that the room has lots of the big gray blocks on the floor (Coffin/tombs). After killing the annoying mobs and head East until you see a ramp that head upwards.

Go up the ramp till you see a staircase (STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS). You will notice to the Right of you (Thats the North) that there is a brown box on the edge and also near by giant pillars.

This is the second floor.

Now you will see Two 'a coterie general', they will be standing right next to gray looking torches that has smoke coming out of them (Depends on your graphic options).

The torch that is the furtherest away from the stairs (Northish that is also close to the wall) is where the place holder, a coterie general where the 'Emissary Oomgado' has a chance of spawning.

Now the respawn timer for 'a coterie general' is 20mins while the names (the bat-winged like vampires) spawn every hour.

The Bat-winged like named vampires spawn there every hour and one spawns between the torches. The other bat like vampire that roames Down stairs and then up to the third floor and may agro you.

This guide is dumbed down, Meaning this will save you from reading 100's posts that says yeah i killed him and looted it so consider me cool.

After some 25 odd hours of camping and killing the Emissary on and off, these finally dropped. Needless to say, they're awesome - say goodbye to locked doors forever!

After spending over 15 hours in total camping this guy, and having killed him 9 times now, I haven't gotten any boots yet. Also, the last 5 or so of those hours, he hasn't spawned at all. I'm beginning to wonder if these still drop (and now, if he even spawns anymore). *sigh*

Was considering camping this for my toy bag. Someone told me they are sk/nec only now... Can anyone confirm or deny this? Have you gotten them to drop 'recently'?

Thnx

I forgot to mention that the PH Spawn Timer is 19 minutes & 40 seconds.

Another nifty use for these which comes in quite handy, is using them to free yourself if you become stuck on something <which rewind is supposed to fix but never does>. Also will free you if you fall under the world. I got these and not playing on a PvP server I just kept em as a clicky toy. First day of dx9 being implemented I fell under the world 3 times <more than the rest of my eq career combined> GMs never answered my petition so I figured what the hell try the boots, and walla I am back on solid ground. And btw, never did get a GM to answer me... great customer service eh? Without these boots I would have been down there for hours upon hours. So def. worth camping a pair imo. :D

Me and a few guildies tried for about an hour yesterday and since it was Thanksgiving I decided I needed to log, I camped Both of my chars right where the Emissary spawns and when I logged my Paladin back on there was the Emissary, of course the roamer that fly's by every now and then just happened to be there and I decided just to take my beating like a man, So I got my guildies, logged my Necromancer and pulled the Emissary to the zone and rooted him then let the other Mobs that was following him return back to the castle and started to whip up on the Hooded thug. First time First try BAM! boots drop I loot! Now I have and added advantage on a PvP server that most will not be expecting.

I MUST get some of these for my paladin...nothing like seeing a toon with a blazing sword go poof. Hehe.. He already has other disguises, this would be perfect...

I am in fact camping the coterie fort right now, we had one of thses drop, war said for cleric to get it so cleric got it=)

Dropped 2 Oomagados in 2 hrs time got a pair of these boots each time (1 pair for me and 1 pair for my ranger buddy). These things are fun as hell i say. Nothin like making a hotkey for these for when someone is begging you for pp or just won't quit inspecting you. PooF! your gone hehe

Only drawbacks are 3 sec cast time and that they are NO DROP.

Just FYI since all the non-casting classes are yapping about a spell they have never used. Shadowstep IS a RANDOM inter-zone gate (gates are for individual caster, ports, etc for more than caster). Typically this spell sends you a very short distance in a random direction. However, you cannot shadowstep UP, only down. IE: If you are standing at the lowest point in a zone and cast this, you will reappear where you cast initially. Example: In OT, if you are in the pit with the scorpikai (sp?) and cast this, you will not eventually appear up on the cliff, you will stay in pit. However, if you are in Kelethin, and you cast on the bank's platform, it MIGHT bring you down to the grass below (no falling damage).

Sound better than they are. NODROP. Real slow cast time. Have to be equipped. AC stinks.
