Rune II Required level of 60. Spell Effect: Covers your target in a shimmer of runes that absorbs damage. Consumes a bloodstone when cast.
-- The sword in Grel's hand in the pic above is identical to the cleaver icon. It was visible when Grel was wielding it, and it disappeared from corpse once looted.
This guy is uselss. If you have the force to beat him -- then you have better gear than what he drops.....that is unless you have 72-100 level 60's, but even then the DoN crystal purchased gear is better.
I ran into Grel and his entourage in Broodlands, standing near the portal to Creator missions. I poked him to train him away so no one would get smooshed headed in. A few things I noticed:
He had about 20 or so guards with him. Their melee was in the 300 - 600 range, plus some casters.
Grel himself cast <Storm Stomp> on me a few times, landed about 50% of the time, all resists in the 250ish range.
<Blizzard Wave> landed twice, both times for 2350. It has a HUGE knockback component to it.
At the end of the train, something hit me for 94000 point of damage, non-melee. Yes, really, 94,000. I don't know if it was Grel or one of his guards.
Just popped after finishing the journey of yar'lir task. No experience or anything from tracing the route. Wish I had checked and saved it for when I had a raid force in the area.
was on way to creator we i met this guy, he was standing by pad. he nuked he for 2.5k and i was dead in a couple of seconds. lol avoid him at all costs if u wanna live!
so there i was running myu lil gnome butt off trying to get to thundercrest before all the mobs caught up to me ...(dumb cleric forgot to getr a fresh sow and ran out of invis potions)....and about 15 paces from zi bam im dead.....didnt even see it coming....wouch out for this *******....
NOT EVEN CLOSE... MPG Trials has better loot than 115/115/115 and dosent take as long.

As far as I recall, Grel's spawn isn't tied to the symbols of Yar'lir. He was on a timer and would wander the zone looking for his lost hat for a while before returning to his lair (the blocked zoneling near the waterfall) where he would despawn saying he would come back to look for his hat again later. At this point his little Grelian minions take up positions around the zone to guard his retreat.
Prepare the raid @ the zone line in Broodlands|Lavastorm with full buffs (save MGB for SOTW and MGB Celestrial Regen), include all buffs (Seasons, GoD, DMF, Talisman of the Tribunal) as the AE Grel Strongboom casts is Chromatic (checks against lowest resist).
Move the road to the North West "Cave" area, just east of the Waterfall. Position the raid with their back to the wall. Grel's AE can gflux you clear across the zone (watched this happen to a monk, was great fun.).
Spawn the event by looting and completing 6 tasks of the "Journey of Yar'Lir" (started by looting a "Symbol of Yar'Lir" from a decaying corpse (I believe the one @ Thundercrest zone in, is the one).
Grel Strongboom will then spawn near the Dragon Statue just SW of the NW waterfall (near the Frozen camp). I suggest clearing that camp first, then using Monks/Bards strip the add's from Grel Strongboom, kill them at the raid site, then pull Grel Strongboom solo. It's very difficult, you could also just OT the add's - they aren't bad.
One thing to note, while his melee is weak (1600double), he does cast a Death Touch.

I compleated a task I got when I looted symbol of Yar`lir and he popped. No idea if connected at all.
Anyway he wonders a bit then walks into the large stone doreway thing that leads noware in the ice area and despawns. He only stays up for about 20 min if that.
