Ancient Tome of Lost Lore
Outcast's Journal Page 21
Plate Greaves of the Golden Sun
Sacred KeyIf you use a levi-move from the first catwalk near the entrance down to the southwest, this is actually an easy move very close to the entrance to the Hole. There are several gargoyle spawns on rooftops after you clear the 4 on the front wall, so move through the city a bit and keep a sharp eye. I'm guessing I saw at least 5 other spawns in the area besides those front 4.
Edit: Actually you don't need a levi move - at the start of the first catwalk there is actually a path down along the left wall, and invis move works until you get to the constructs.

an old gargoyle
a rare creature
This guy is a very rare spawn. There are 7 PHS. Hits for between 80-120.

I guess you are not aware that this is a NO LEVI ZONE.
Ok so i was in the hole to get the bit for my necro . I was not getting the spaun. So for somereason instead of pulling with a dot i rooted instead and got summoned after my first little dot got the aggro up . At first i was thinking this was bad. However it turned out to be great fun and helpful.
After i killed the mob that summoned me I saw that i could walk on top of the walls like a path and hit like 10 more spaun points for gargoyals that i could not even see on the ground. So then i just started traveling about from roof top to roof top from the summons of the gargoyals .
This solved two problems.
First i was only ever fighting gargoyls cause i would not travel by foot but by gargoyal air, was laughing my butt off.
Second i was killing that many more gargoyals and the spaun came very fast. I think maybe after the first wipe of all those i could find over 10 say 15. The mobs did all the work and died rather easily to me at 75 had a blast. I had never seen the hole from up high like that was very neat and got me drop rather quickly , not to mention some great screen shots , thought i would pass it along.
One more thing, its random where he spauns at if you kill a gargoyle it has a chance of letting the old gargoyale spaun there . I have seen him in lots of different places on the roofs on the tops of walls, so kill all the gargoyles you can see after you get summoned and just have them get you to where you have to go. It reminded me alot of the movie spiderman, just look whre you wanna go, root and away you go , eq web slinging .

Old Gargoyle spawned at location (-78.3,-55.85,-234.8) for me today. Right beside the roof of the glass construct building on a small ledge.

If he has the bag in his hand, that doesn't mean he has the book fyi. I just killed it ..had bag in hand ..I got all happy ..checked corpse ..no book ..grr. =\
The bag in his hand you are referring to (and other posts below mention) is not the book, but rather the sacred key. Take note that the ancient also has a bag equipped at times and also drops the sacred key.

Just so you know. Respawn time is just under 24.5 minutes on the 5 Destroyed Gargoyles (PHs for Old Gargoyle).

Killed him this morning, I knew he would drop something because he was holding a bag in his right hand, only killed him once, but since the tome is the only item he can equip in prim/secondary would assume if you see the bag you should get the tome.
Here's how I did it in 30 minutes, maybe I was lucky.
Go into the Hole and progress through until you get to the area with all the "a destroyed construct." They're the mobs that drop the "A Ball of Elemental Clay."
I suggest killing them on your way through, because they'll drop the Clay and they aggro a lot even if they're green to you. I found 3 clays before I got to the gargoyle area. Look on top of the buildings and you'll see gargoyles perched up there. Kill all of them until you get the old gargoyle to spawn. There's about 10 spawn points. I was lucky enough to have him already spawned with the book on him when I got there.

I found him today not in -200/+20 - but when you get near that loc on the map you will be on a ramp. You will notice undead, golems and gargoyles this is your area, you also get a message in main chat ( Did you see one of those stone statues move out of the corner of your eye) or something like that. they summon which helps -- cuz they pull to the top of the wall. and you can see the gargoyles better from there. I reccommend pet pulling. Today I was lucky book droped on first pop... also on a side note all see invis about 1/2 way to the loc. I'm a level 70 Nec with 400+ aa's and 67 pet.. was no trouble to solo. I hope this helps even if it was only a little.

Killed him today, had book and a sacred key. None none with diety of Cazic-Thule...any idea what it's for?

I decided I would try to get the 2 "A ball of elemental clay" and the Ancient tome of lost lore myself in the hole. It's either very easy or I got very lucky because one my way down to the gargoyle's area, I got 4 balls of clay from the destroyed constructs and after clearing all the destroyed gargoyles i could find near the ruins' walls, amongst the first repops was an old gargoyle which dropped the tome. As a 69 necromancer all mobs were green or lightblue.
got him to pop 2 times fo rme today always in the same spot forgot to get a loc on where i camped. it was the wall befoer ruined city where 4 gargs pop on top and on the ground is 3 ghosts. will edit with loc soon but he popd in same spot 3rd garg from left. BTW if he has a bag in his hand he has book if not he does not have book. fairly ez to solo here as a 61 necro with WTD pet hold pet lay hands rarely had to use any but hold very fun camp

Got this guy to spawn by the ramp leading into the old ruins n200,p20 near the ruined gargoyle spawn. He has dropped the greaves twice, shocker, the Tome drop is posted as common but i think it should be changed to uncommon or rare. Undoubtedly Sony found a new way to bottleneck the Necros in another epic quest ala the manisi herb in Chardok.
Manisi Herb took me a couples days of camping, wiping, and having to FD in the water. A pain in the neck. Not to mention completely useless because the Slime Blood of Cazic-Thule is near impossible to get. On Fennin - Cazic server, PoFire is perma-camped; on Zek I have my good days and bad days; seems people are much more courteous about these things on Zek. Although, already level 75 and with my epic 1.5 prequest done, it's not much of a bother.
Epic 1.0 wouldv'e been nice to have for old times sake, but that's about it

Manisi herb is unommon, i never actually camped it but got it at least 5 times.

From what I have seen, the Old Gargoyle spawns in place of destroyed ones...and the ancient gargoyle spawns in place of ruined ones.

Well after 2 days finally got him to pop...spawned on the back wall, so its a random spawn point. Dropped the greaves...back to the camping...sigh..

To get to the area with the Gargoyles, your essentially gonna go to the south most part of the zone. A general location for this area is neg 200, pos 20. An old gargoyle will pop on the ramparts second spawn from the rightmost (on the outside of the area where the gargs begin). Hope this is enough info for people to repeat without wasting as much time there as I did...

Killed this guy tonight with a 55 bst partner...
Unslowable, but was only light blue to me at 65, so must be 46-49. Hit a lot harder than the rest of stuff around there, normal stuff hit me for about 120 max, this guy was more like 160-170 max. Summoned of course so I wouldn't recommend soloing if you need to kite him. Dropped the book, we rolled on it (because we always joke about rolling on the "phat lewts") I won it, I guess it'll look nice on my cleric *shrug*
Also dropped the key which goes to the room just down the steps there (can't really describe it but you'd know it when you saw it), not a big deal tho, lock was pickable by bard.

That book is for necro 1.5. I'm sure any necro would be glad to buy your cleric a better primart...

Once you get past the castle with the Elementals, you'll come to a building with several golems (which is where the Old Construct spawns). Continuing on, you'll come to the gate where Stonesoul used to spawn -- this guy spawns directly above the gate.
