Camped Plane of Hate B for about 15 hours all together for this shield. set a timer to go off every 24:55 minutes to kill the chest or PH, then go kill the lord of ire and wait again for chest. i wasn't 100% sure if this lord of ire had a chance to drop it or not, but they are only a few meters away from one another.
Not sure if this was patched so you can track him or maybe you just always needed a high tracking skill that was unattainable back in the day? i was able to track him with a 105 ranger with 300 in tracking
HAHA. Now I won't leave only because it is a matter of princple.
Started last night at 8:25 pm, had 14 spawn cycles and it popped once. No shield. So far this morning, started at 8:13 am, 8 spawn cycles, one pop, and it hasn't dropped yet...
First time an eerie chest appeared for me he dropped the shattered emerald and the Trueheart shield... needless to say my ranger is ing. the chest is also larger than his brothers(or sisters?). Anyhoo... happy hunting
In WoS the "Girplan Mastercrafter" has multiple spawns spots where ever a ph spawns. "a girplan stonecrafter" is the PH and maybe they got the idea from this zone cause if any "a haunted chest" can spawn "an eerie chest" then that would explain the terrible spawn rate. Try killing multiple spots with this mob, I am and will post back if this is true.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you thought you heard was not what I meant.
I just have to vent a bit, no one will probably notice this post till next year anyway.
I landed in one of the worst negative statistical fluctuation's I've ever encountered in EQ. Far from the mentioned 1 / 5 spawn rate for this chest, I've gotten an unbelievable 1 / 46. Yea, forty-six, thats not a typo. One named out of a total of 46 spawns at this point. You do the math, I've sat here for 23 hours. The one 'eerie chest' that did pop dropped only the whip.
The only saving grace is that I've gotten a lot of other little side projects done on the computer during this time. I just alt-tab over to EQ every 30 minutes and kill the PH.
Anyway, that is all. I didn't expect to see the chest a lot, but I didn't expect to get hosed on the spawn rate quite this bad. Hope whoever comes after me has better luck.

Ok, to give out a bit of information. I hope whoever feels like camping this next has better luck than me.
Drops RevultantWhip - 9 - 69% Trueheart Shield - 2 - 15% Shattered Emerald of Corruption - 2 - 15% Shield of the Immaculate - 1 - 8%
Total time, 76 hours. (wasn't consecutive)
Since I didn't camp it straight for the 76 hours, I don't feel comfortable drawing any concrete conclusions about the true spawn rate. I will say that while it’s possible other people camped it while I wasn't on, during my 76 hours sitting at the spawn point I had a whole one person who was interested in the camp. Other than that, I pretty much had the zone to myself.
At some point I ceased to care whether I got the shield or not and instead became stubbornly obsessed with not quitting.
This is the only mob in the Plane of Hate that drops the Shield of the Immaculate. I farm this zone frequently for the Shattered Emeralds of Corruption and Eye of Innoruuk to tribute. I have gotten him to drop the Shield of the Immaculate three times. I've killed him the same number of times as I've killed the Lord of Ire (rumored to drop it, but i am almost positive that he doesn't). He has the same drop rate on the SEoC as any other mob in the Plane of Hate. He and his ph are a 29 minute 30 second timer, just like every other mob in the plane of hate (save some of the named (hand of the maestro, innoruuk, corrupter of life, etc)).
He does not summon. All of the "chest" monsters are rogues, so don't turn your back to him. He takes an average of 5 PH to spawn, sometimes he'll spawn two times in a row, and then he won't spawn for 10 spawns.
My recommendation if you plan on farming this zone: bring a book to read.
if u ask me this guy is the best for the seoc..did about 3 trips to Pohate for the seoc..was camping this guy + Magi P, Lord of Ire and Lord of loathing,
each trip i spent about 7-9 hours other 3 nameds drop crap loot, each trip i got 1 Immaculate shield and 1 eye of inny and other old school loot from the errie chest. last trip if finaly dropped.
within those trips i killed the errie chest about 7 times..lord of ire 4, Magi P, 6, Lord of loathing 7, so errie chest is prob the best for Seoc and for gettin loot for extra cash.
eerie chests PH is a "haunted chest" which seems to spawn 90 - 95 % of the time in lieu of an "eerie chest". a friend told me he camped eerie for 4 days before shield dropped. patience is a virtue in this encounter. i have been soloing this camp with lvl 75 warr, 294 aa, about 12k unbuffed w/o heals. respawn time is currently about 20 min. still waiting for that shield of the immaculate to drop for AMV raids.
9 ph's later he finally spawns, max hit on me(70 monk) was 402 several times, didnt seem to have any more hp than the other mobs, just hits a little bit harder, dropped whip >< the loc and directions previously posted are right on
