Easy camp.
# Apr 17 2007 at 2:05 PM Rating: Decent
Since sony decided to nerf the minimizing device I decided to try my luck. Spent six hours one evening and no wand. Got five cloaks. Logged on the next day and camped him for a couple of hours and he finally spawned with the wand. The camp is easy so just bring a book/put in a good movie and wait. 15min spawn timer so just do something else while waiting.
Finally

Finally got my shrink wand, after about 11 Koxiux spawns (10 cloaks) and 14 Placeholders over serveral hours spread out over a few days.

Finally leaving a camp after hours and hours is a great feeling, and you tell yourself "i'm not going back there for a looooooong time".. and then people start asking you to take them to The Deep so they can get a shrink wand as well.

So it looks like i'll be back at the Koxiux camp very soon.

Went there last nite and was camped, so i logged off in that spot so i could take when i got back on. Logged in and named was up, and he dropped the cloak. I timed the respawn at ~15.5mins, so far 1 named 2 PH and 1 cloak. named hits for the same as the trash/ph. ~150 at max, very easy, took all 5 of the mobs including named at once without neededing healing.

Heh...I wish I had read this before my first trip in...

Went in South Route...looked shorter.
Killed everything see-invis.
Came across 2 LB mobs (@ 75)
Sent in pet, /pet hold to split from adds.
3 LB mobs come running.
Cast nearly OOM healing Self-buffed pet...pet dies.
Cast Suspend Minion, pull out raid buffed pet and plow through the two elders that were left.
Needless to say, it was excitement that I had not planned on.
got lucky

70 cleric about 375 AA's mix of Time, DoN, DoD and Anguish gear, got killed twice trying to get to camp.

Finally went the northern route and only had to pacify one mob to get to final tunnel with PH.

Clear the first group in the tunnel then worked on the 4 at the end, killed the PH 2 or 3 times then name spawned and dropped stick.

lucky me, no more tool box and class 6 mana batteries at the raid, good luck

Earring of Diminutiveness
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=44726

This thing is outdated. The earring works from inventory, casts MUCH faster, and most importantly, YOU CAN SHRINK YOUR GROUPMATES/PETS WITH IT.

Drops off any mob killed in the 68.4 mission which is easy. You don't have to even win the mission, just kill mobs like you were grinding exp.

Level restrictions are the defining difference here, not shrinking others or usable from inventory status.

Level 45 can get this wand with help and use the effect. Not so for the earring you linked. Thanks for that link though, I did not know about that earring.

problem is, it is ultra rare.
Then you have 5 others you need to roll against.

20 minutes getting to the spawn point from the entrance. Got there and he was up, dropped the wand. My first time at that camp. I feel really lucky after hearing the horror stories =/
with my great luck
# Jul 04 2006 at 2:19 AM Rating: Decent
well due to my extrodanary luck at getting drops, First drop off first spawn after Place holder...that means total time....25 mins getting to spawn point...5 mins killing all the mobs there. 10 mins respawn. he pops I loot total time 45 mins
2 in a row on 7th Hammer

after patch today (6/13) i figured i'd run over and try my luck, sure enough i get to the camp and Koxiux is up. kill him, wand drops ... 7 minute timer, i log on my druid and run him over from PoK to loot, but low and behold i missed the timer and it rotted =( after cursing for a few minutes, Koxiux popped again (twice in a row !!) and guess what... my druid now has a shrink wand =)

just wanted to say that it is possible to get this wand to drop back to back. i spent about 12-13 hours camping this with my ranger before i got the wand, so it was a nice surprise to get the druid's so easily. love server resets !
Wow
# May 20 2006 at 4:09 AM Rating: Decent
I've been wanting this wand for the longest time now, but after reading the stories of how long the spawn times are and how rare a drop it is... I have been dreading it. So, I walk in to the Deep this morning with a friend about 5am est time. We get to Koxiux's camp and he's not up.. so thinking yeah.. this is gonna take awhile.. we kill 1 round of mobs... repops start.. and boom there's Koxiux.. and guess what he's holding.. lol. Needless to say, I spent 5 minutes camping him... :-)
Finally got it

Ok, April 2rd, was at camp from midnight - 930 AM, no wand, just cloaks, i believe i got 8 of em. Went to bed, came back on at 3 and camped til raidtime which was 8, no wand. After raid at midnight went aand camped again til 530 AM. Finaqlly got the wand. I just happen to be unlucky, and it was super rare for me, about 15-20 hours of non stop killing, til i got the wand. Figured u all would know
Raefurd is nuts

Well im so happy for u on your crazy good luck. BUT i myself have been here since 12:30 AM -8AM non stop killing and killed the cycle a good 20X easy. NO WAND. So no, sony has not nerfed this, its still a long crappy wait, im still camping it
Ha Ha

So Im reading all these posts about the low spawn rate and the rarity of wand drops and Im thinking Im in for a long camp trying to get this thing... So I fight my way in, and sure enough the guy is up. Kill him fast-like and he drops the wand. Took all of 30 mins.... I might have gotten lucky, or maybe soe changed his spawn/drop rate. Either way, it was nowhere near as terrible as you made it seem. One placeholder, then he spawns again with another wand. Shazaam. It seems like something has changed since the previous posts.

Nothing has changed. It just happens that way sometimes. I am currently sitting at his camp. I spent 7 hours last night, and 11 hours today. 7 spawns of named, and no wand. Spawntime is around 15 minutes. So I've gone through about 65 ph's and 7 names, and no wand yet.

ok, perhaps im the only one old enuff to remember sitting in lower guk for days after the fbss. Or, perhaps sitting waiting for Quilmane for days. Or, perhaps sitting for 2 days in the water of lake Raith for cleric epic.....

Basicly, quit crying about it people, sit your camp, be happy when you get it, and quit crying like you want SoE to hand you time gear.

Waiting for Raster to spawn on live side is way more hideous than Frenzy in lower guk.
RE: ok people...
# Mar 17 2006 at 9:47 PM Rating: Decent
oh yeah, and if your not happy with the camp, go to the bazaar, spend the money, and buy the tinkered shrink devise, and spend the time you would have been sitting the camp to farm some plat to buy enuff mana batteries to keep it charged for the life of your account.

I must've killed the ph over fifty times until Koxiux finally spawned and no wand. I couldn't believe it, he only pops once in five hours and all he drops is a cloak!? I have better chances at winning the lottery. Forget the drop rate of the wand just make him appear a little more often. SoE seriously needs to up the spawn rate. Perhaps make them as frequent as PoH nameds.

After 14 hours of camping this I finally got it to drop on the third kill.

cloak count....
# Mar 01 2006 at 1:05 PM Rating: Decent
Cloak count so far: 15
Wand count so far: 0

Been at this camp for about 8 hours today, had a stretch of 6 hours of only PH, then 3 Koxiux back to back, each one dropping cloak. I'm hoping for a wand soon, but I'm expecting another stretch of PHs...

Edit: 2 cycles after posting he popped and dropped the wand. Many expletives were shouted in happiness.

Camped the wand last night for 7 hours with named popping only twice. Dropped cloak both times. Camped at the end of the hall and went to bed. Came back today and a 70 Monk was just leaving. I assumed that he got the wand. Broke camp, 1st round, named popped and dropped the wand. Sat around talking in guild chat when the camp started repopping. Named spawned again and dropped another wand for my Drood that I was boxing. So, named can pop two times in a row and can drop wands back to back. Also shows that its just a matter of timeing.
Common Drop???

Got this today after 13 hours. The name spawned only 3 time for me.

I agree, hobbits cannot be noticably shrunk either I believe.

Tis a shame since we could be like... invisible =P

For raiding guilds this thing would rock. Though its a pain in the butt to get. This guy doesn't always show up and it's his rare. I would love it so I don't have to worry about recharging or using two charges, for that matter, of the anizok's shrinking device. Infinite clicks of shrink with no recharge = peace of mind on raids and time and money saved.
