the froglok shin lord  

I'm a level 27 Pally who camped this guy last night with a lvl 37 War and lvl 45 Ranger. Killed every friggin froglok in sight including several with shin name. Not one Shin Lord spawn for over 4 hours. Then too boot we lost the Ranger on the way out and the War and me got trained and gang banged dead on the way out. I'll be back though.

HE spawns at random. SOmetimes days, and sometimes back to back. THe sword is random drop too. Sometimes twice in a row, sometimes never. I and my fellow guild members raided Guk this morning for about 3 hours. He spawned 2 times in 30 mins and dropped a ghoulbane both times. Needless to say, we were blessed

He has LoH. He chain heals himself when he gets low. He has lots of friends. And I've heard that he can proc the GB on PC's even though we're not undead (I was kinda too busy at the time to notice).

34 warrior, 34 shaman with blue pet, and 35 shaman with blue pet (all three pets including myself fully buffed) ended a fight with a GB wielding lord (and three or four other low-blue/high-green frogs who popped at a bad time and/or ran in from the other room) oom and lohp. We all survived, including the pets...but it was best described as "exciting". Consider it a five person group with three mid-30's and two (expendable yet reliable) high-20's and ask yourself: does it really matter whether you can solo the lord by himself, when pallies can't mez?

A general rule I've found is that you can "do" a dungeon camp five levels earlier in a pair than solo, five earlier with four than two, and five earlier with six than four (no doubt that's a very rough rule full of exceptions). Yes, the same camp that a level 40 solo would find difficult yet possible (and I mean keeping the area clear of greenie aggro and non-aggro healers, not just killing ph's) could be difficult yet possible to a full group of 25's. If you're really experienced and careful, you could probably do it with just one same-level friend (note that we didn't qualify, since it was our first time there for each of us, and we probably suffered from greenie aggro from the next room when the pets attacked something too close to the wall); if you'll be relying on sheer brute force like we did, you should bring three friends (or two friends and two pets) just in case. :)

I hate when people do stuff like that. Pretending that 5oopp is a lotof money and ripping off a newbie. Ripping off 50+ chars is just plain funny though hehe. I bought a froglock crown for 500pp a few days ago, and I decided I really didn't need it so i auctioned it. A 52 ranger gives me a tell and I told him to offer and he offered 1000pp. I eagerly accepted and was surprised there were 50+ people that were stupid. hehe

I was scowled (worst faction), managed to raise to threatening only to get back to scowl.

After spending 13 levels in LGuk killing god knows how many ghouls I am dubious.

I have left Guk, but if I go back I will not lay hand on a live frog unless they are indifferent to me.

Be aware that turning this faction around is a major pain. It can be done I succseeded 2001-03-23.

Impossible now. Ghoulbane is now part of the epic shadowknight quest. Expect to see very high level SKs camping it.

sounds good to me make it pally only take it out of innys curse quest, i have 54 sk and dont want to a)buy this pos b)camp 8 hours in an extremely green dungeon having to call out out shin lord/ghoulbane camp checks every 10 fricken minutes

To reply to your more serious note, it is a quest too. It starts in West Karana, theres a human standing on the side of the river. you talk to him and he gives you a note you take it to a dwarf in butcherblock and it goes on from there. Yours is an old post so i am not sure when they added it but the quest seems much easier than campin the frog for the ghoulbane.

I picked up a pair of shin greaves in Lower Guk a few days ago. Mine dropped off of the undead froglocks, the ghouls and such. A guild mate told me (and some high lvl friends confirmed) that the gauntlets dropped off of the live ones. Hope this little tid bit helps someone

Amen to that. That is EQ's largest fault. That someone like him you should see in lower guk getting his *** handed to him by the undead. If he won't use that darn thing, i'll kill him, and use it myself. :)
