Gynok Moltor
Monster
It can be assumed by Gynok's last name that he is related to Vin Moltor. The Moltors are a family from Hallas who met the Blackburrow gnolls years ago. During this meeting, they seem to have made off with one of the gnolls hands. This "paw" has remained in the possesion of their family for some time.
The Moltors were cursed by the gnolls years ago, so it's not really surprising to find Gynok raised from the dead. What is surprising is that he managed to hold onto a platinum ring which is needed to restore the Paw of Opolla to it's magical state.

I have tried camping Gynok for 3 days in a row ranging from 5 - 10 hours and haven't seen the damn guy once. Seen plenty of PH shouting how we have disturbed their sleep, but no Gynok. This is just a little rediculous. I know people who have camped him for over 12 hours a day at a time and no luck. I know quests aren't supposed to be easy, but come on all ready!

Just to share some info. I met a guy in your situation. He camped Gynok for many hours without seeing him even one time. He petitoned a GM to ask if the spawn was broken. The GM said no. He continued to camp but no sign of Gynok anywhere!! He petitoned again asking if they were sure it was not broke and told the GM the number of days & hours camped with no spawn. This time the GM said no it's not broken and added there are in fact FOUR place holders you musk kill on the first floor to get Gynok to spawn not just the two near the entrance. So this guy got some newbies to keep the first floor clear in exchange for heals & buffs. Sure enough Gynok spawned and he got his ring. This also worked for me and one other person I witnessed get the plat ring. Good luck!!!!

"You are basically a useless class once you get to high lvl, so you should be nerfed(you polite druids can stay though)", Can we really daanek, im so glad i have a lvl 24 cleric, tell me that while my class sucks, and should be nerfed (if my class is useless, what would nerfing it do, moron?) if im polite, than bt his good graces i may stay. thank you for your kindness daanek i was just about to delete my worthless, should be nerfed druid until you told me i could stay. daanek, if your going to make a post that really has little to do with the mob, and jsut flame druids, and bithc about how you don't like them, go away. also don't be expecting to get many sows or druid ports soon.

You know, this guy must have some crazy spawn or something must be broken. The PHs still said his line and I camped with a friend for about 12+ hours yesterday. He never popped once. My idea, though I could be wrong, is that there must be some kind of bug with his spawn. I think he is supposed to pop when that phrase is shouted. I have no idea though. And here is another thing, for all you KSers out there, there ARE GMs that are willing to take action against you, all you need is a witness. So don't think you are gods just because you are higher level than the camper who has been there longer than you. No offense to you polite druids, but that is the class I seem to run into the most problems with. You druids are so egotistical and think you own the game, well guess what, you're not. You are basically a useless class once you get high in level so you really should be nerfed. (You polite druids can stay though.) Anyways, good luck camping this guy. Maybe if we all send in enoguh reports, Verant will actually get off their @$$ and do something about it or tell us that there is nothing wrong, who knows.

Hate to tell ya but the GM will do nothing unless you actually engage the MOB first then someone comes along and steals the kill. Verant actually frowns on guess what, CAMPING!!! So even if you have your witness you may be SOL. If that druid or any other class for that matter engages that MOB you are illegally camping first it's their kill period. I really don't care if you want to camp a MOB for days on end. I will always find other things to do and eventually will kill the MOB for whatever I need. I did want to point out though camping is not accepted by Verant anymore that Kill stealing. You can in fact be reported for holding a camp for too long if someone wanted to do it. I will not resort to petty class bashing. No class is useless if the person behind the toon knows their abilities. Class envy is such a funny thing to witness. Good luck and good hunting to all!! Even you Daanek ;-)

I killed him 4-5times around lvl30..this was before velious came out..it was nice selling the ring for 1kpp each(worth 4kpp on Luclin now..used to be 5k)...either way, when i killed him the 1-2nd time he dropped the plat ring..then on the 3rd spawn he dropped the gold ring, then the next day i went back for another farming of this guy. I zoned in and a cleric seemed quite pissed and i asked what was wrong, she said "he dropped the copper again" so i looted the copper(its a lore item) and i got the silver ring from blackburrow..just to say he does not always drop the plat i guess................

Hello all!
I have been camping this guy for 3 days now, as have others. Since others where waiting for this bandage bozo to spawn, I didn't hang around much on for a couple of days, but yesterday, Sunday 3-26-01, I did stick around after the other fellow who was camping him for the past 2 days left. I was there smaking the PHers from about 10am until he finally spawned at 8:11pm.
During that time several spawns said the phrase that should be said by Gynok, about being disturbed from his rest. Since rats don't generally talk, I reported it as a bug. I believe either those things shouldn't say that or it was suppose to be Gynok spawning and there was an error in character spawning that caused something else to spawn. At any rate, a GM said it may be attributed to the recent patch and would report it.
If something is wacked out about the spawn and they fix it, it might not take 3 days for this band aid commercial to show up. *grin*
Also, another observation it seemed that the frequency of the mods saying the Gynok line was approximately every 2 hrs or so. (mostly giant rats said that and a couple of skellys did too.)
Happy Camping

I must be very virtuous having waited so long for this guy to spawn *grin* as are many others who suffer the waiting.

This guy spawned on top of me and i wasnt even camping him :) i had a hard time doing it but i killed him and got the ring. i was 22 at the time so he is not the level that it says here.

I walked into befallen one day to help some newbie...and bang Gynok hits you for 10 damage! So I slautered him...31 cleric...and got the plat ring. I feelin lucky)
9 posts
I camped this guy for 6 hours straight today. I have never had to camp anything before so this was total torture for me. I didnt sit on his spawn point tho... I will try that next time. The number of people in befallen fluctuated a lot from 3 up to 25 (some guild had a meeting there). I have also concluded that this guy is TOTALY random. His PHs are random too. Everything about his is random except where he spawns. Wow this is sarting to make me angry....
Anonymous
I may be wrong but... From what I have read the PH's are not random. They spawn every 16-18 minutes. The problem is if you don't kill them immediatly they wander down to the third floor then back. So if you were not camping right at the spawn point you may have missed a PH and it wandered to the third floor. This could make the PH spawn seem random. Just a thought.

Hi all,
I did a lot of research and tried to get some myths confirmed/denied. Here is what I think is the truth and how I can confirm it:
- You have to kill all critters on level 1 to make him spawn! WRONG. Gynok is not triggered by the first floor spawns. I camped him for 14 hours with keeping the first floor completely empty and he never spawned. A few days later he poped while I was just sitting there and the full room being up.
- He is on an 8 hour spawn! WRONG. I saw him pop twice in about 1 hour. Also others (even on this page) report that he poped shortly after being killed. He is totally random.
- There is a "no camp code" included. When you sit at his spawn point he will not show up! WRONG. I sat exactly on his spawn point and he poped up and attacked me right away.
- You can make him spawn by giving the note from Gix to Lrodd! WRONG. I tried this and he did not show up for the next 4 or 5 hours. Since he is random, he MIGHT show up after you gave the note to Lrodd, but it does not increase the chance (or not significantly).
- He drops plat, gold and copper ring. RIGHT. I saw all of them drop. Since the fungus mutant in Lower Guk seems to only drop the ingredients for gold and copper, it might be a good idea to start camping for the rings with Gynok.
- When a PH shouts the sentence 'You have disturbed my slumber...', he will spawn shortly after that! WRONG. The sentence is random too. I saw it 3 times in a row, then no longer for 4 hours or so.
In short: Gynok is a random, rare spawn. He drops the platinum, gold or copper ring. That's all there is :-)

But did you at least kill all the stuff that popped up by the entrance or just what was in the entrance in his place?
Anonymous
He is simply a random spawn. His placeholders take about 15min to make their trip to despawn, so not killing them simply delays the spawn of the next PH, which is 15min after the last PH is killed or despawns. Nothing else is tied to this spawn. Period.

I'd never been in Befallen before and never heard about this quest until tonight. I poked my head in waiting in WC for daytime in Kithicor and ran into my lvl 23 SK friend (i'm an 18 enchanter). We were the only 2 people in the entire zone. We sat at the entrance waiting for me to buff when this guy attacked us killed him, dropped his plat ring. We had no clue what it was.. went down and killed some stuff on the lower levels.. came back up after we got swarmed by greens a few times half an hour later, medded/buffed and he attacked us again. Another plat ring. Note that we didn't kill anything on the top floor the entire time, besides maybe 1 giant rat, and he popped twice (only ppl in dungeon too).. lucky day i guess

that is not just a mith, gynok does drop teh copper and gold ring, gold ring is his rarest drop but copper is rare. platinum ring is his common, it sux @#@#$ i just got the copper ring, don't believe the mith, there is a copper and gold ring drops
aye indeed he does drop the copper ring i just got it today.im not positive about the gold ring but copper and platinum for certain
Anonymous
I can confirm that he drops the gold ring. I killed him 5 times in total now (over the levels). He dropped 2 plats, 2 gold and 1 copper. That makes him an alernative to the fungus mutant. Although he's much less predictable.

I camped Gynok for 8 hours one day, and didn't see him at all. About 3 days later, I decided to go get myself a gossimer robe, and maybe some other nice stuff to sell. I sat myself down at the top of the stairs, summoned myself an earth pet, and went to meditate. Imagine my surprise when i suddenly see "Gynok Moltor hits YOU for 40dmg!" Anyway, at that point, i only had 104 int, and I still stomped him with mana to spare. He didn't resist shock of spikes at all, he partially resisted bolt of flame. I guess he's one of those mobs that resists evocation but not conjuration. He hit me for dual 40's, hit my pet for 20's, and died of about 600dmg. That's all I have to say about that.

Do the quest and keep the paw, farm boy.. if you want money, do a MAGE quest and leave this for people who can use it.

Get a clue....I dont care whos quest this is...my 21 ranger will be camping this guy (with help of course!) 800PP is just what I need. It doesnt matter whose quest it is, cash is cash! I'm sure you have never killed anything that dropped a valuable item for another classes quest, and Im sure that if you did, you gave the valuable item to a member of the appropriate class right away! Sorry if I hurt your little feelings but this monster is fair game for everyone!

Actually I can say I have never done a quest that was not for my class or all classes. I think it's rude and immature to do it. Farmers do hurt this game and the problem is getting worse by the day. It especially hurts on long spawn type MOBS such as this one. I sometimes sell items when I upgrade but many times either give away my old stuff or pass it down to another character of mine. Cash is cash, that's true enough but there are many ways to make plats without ******** the game up for other classes. I would love to see this become lore no drop or make it so only wisdom casters can pick it up. That would help alot on the farming of this particular item. Till then we will just have to have other things lined up to do when this is being camped by a fellow wisdom caster or some class who is farming it for cash. Fortunatly EQ is a large game so it's not hard to line up several things to try. Everyone should have a druid at least as a secondary character. That way you can port around and check various places. If they are not camped either stay with the druid or log on with one of our other characters. Fact is we are always going to have to deal with those who are in the game for items and plats. They don't give a damn if they are ruining it for others!! So don't let them ruin it for you!! Do some research and have 3 to 5 things lined up to work on. That way there is a good chance at least one will be opened for you. If not start a new class ya never played before ;-) Eventually the camp you want will open up. You can't get rid of all the a**holes but you can work around them hehe...

Look Farmers! go camp something that has a reg spawn rate! this does not have one so get you asses away, you know the name of the game is EVERQUEST. get the point?!

I haved killed him a few times dropped plat ring almost everytime dropped gold ring once maybe plat ring is his common drop and gold ring is rare
#Anonymous,
Posted: Jan 02 2001 at 3:14 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have to say I camped this guy and nothing he popped once and a rogue KS'd it from me then 8 hours later I was still waiting for him to pop. It just is not fair that people go in and kill him just so they can make money on the ring, when there are those of us out there sitting and waiting for the ring so that we can actually do the quest to use the paw. :( I am a druid and really need this. I refuse to spend 1 or 2 K to buy the ring. If I was going to spend that kind of money I would spend it on something else more worth while.

To get your stupid ring, just sit there facing the zone to WC. I camped that ******* for 4 hours before he finally popped. I was 30 at the time and he was a cake walk. I am a wizard, so that should tell you something.
Anonymous
Yep!! It tells me you are an int caster not a wis caster. This makes you another damn farmer who is helping to ***** up this game. Thank god it only took you 4 hours. That gets you outta the way for people who really need this item. So how much did ya sell it for you greedy *******?? GratZ!!!
Anonymous
I've done the paw quest atleast 6 times, as its an easy yet long way to make money. The platinum ring gynok drops (of course) like someone earlier said he has about 3% chance of spawning, and the spawn time is 16minutes with ph's, They spawn 'RIGHT' next to the zone to WC. I was confused at first only hearing that he spawns near the entrance, and i thought the rat that spawns near the bench at the stairs was the ph. When his ph's or him spawn they wander down to the 3rd floor unless they aggro on you, and despawn eventually. I cleared the 3rd floor every 4 spawns or so (a friend camped him with me on occasion, so he watched out for the spawn) and the clearing seemed to help sometimes but other times seemed to do nothing, so im not sure on that. Gynok does drop the platinum ring most of the time, but sometimes he drops the copper, and sometimes nothing. ive gotten the copper from him twice and nothing 3 times in my paw quest experience. One time when i camped him and he spawned, and i killed him. He spawned again in 16minutes, so some lucky newbie in the zone got the ring and I took my leave.
Now for Upper guk part, the fungus mutant who spawns near the ladder in the little fungus farm room spawns every 20minutes i think (might be wrong, havent done the quest in a while.) and he drops nothing most of the time, then the copper piece fairly commonly, and the gold piece is very rare it seems. One time it took 2 hours, other times 12hours. Once you get the correct piece (he drops weird stuff that you turn in to melixis in kerra isle.) go to melixis in kerra isle, her hut is in the back corner of the cat-island. Turn in the part and you'll get either your copper or gold ring (depending on part) and for the silver. which is like a slice of pie to get, run to blackburrow and jump in the lake and swim to the bottom and there should be a ring there (unless some stupid dark elf warrior n00bee picked it up or something) and if its not there, you gotta wait a game day "tops" for another to spawn. Then combine the 4 in the paw container you got from vin moltor in qeynos aquaducts and you will get your paw.

Can a 24 cleric kill this guy? i dd for 140 vs undead and have pretty high wis so i can cast quite a few times

The letter is for an entirely different quest all together, the burning rapier. And its not even an essential part of the quest. so i wouldnt worry about it

I hate this, after a very long camp it drops the copper ring. now i need another longggggg camp to get the one i seek, and the one that its supoussed to drop, platinum ***** ring
I understand that he can drop ANY of the rings for the Paw. You have to get lucky to even see the spawn, then get lucky again to get the platinum. The only time I saw him he dropped the Gold ring, which I have in the bank awaiting one miraculous day in which I'll pop him and get the platinum ring. I know of one druid who claims that he got all four from Gynok rather than doing the Kerran quests. Sounds like a LOT of camping to me.
