Folks, I first heard of this guy bout 6 months ago when my baby druid was level 20. I have been camping him pretty regular for the past 4months. I have read every discussion on him on every board and have tried every method suggested. One worked for me tonight and I feel obligated to tell you how I did it. First of all, hats off to Silvara for educating me with the idea of Turbo Camping. After spending entire days levitating in doggy form running around dagnor's with my tracking frantically wishing. I switched over to the pop in theory which is try to begin ur day and end ur day with 15min camps for him. I got it this late evening/early morning. when I had finished up hunting ice giants in Everfrost. Heres what happend. I gated into zone, I am binded on the island in the middle next to the dwarf vendor. I hit tracking as I have done thousands of times before and there he was.. I pursued. from the island he was in the water swimming exactly to the goblin camp. he is by far faster then any other goblin that u will see. I waited til he got out of the water exactly at the goblin camp and I rooted him, that is when he turned around to face me and my Jaw dropped, he had the Totem. I casted ensnare on him he was shooting me with arrows the whole time but they only disrupted one casting. I hit him with 2 Star Fires 612dd each time he was dead. the facts.. real life time was 3:30am Pacific coast time. I have heard previously that he spawns on the island, and makes his way toward the boat, then he gets in the water and immediately heads toward the goblin camp. I can't confirm his exact spawn spot but I have spent alot of time sitting at the boat in the middle island.Knowing he may run right by me. But if u look at the postings in this forum u will see a consistency with the fact that there's heavy bilge activity at goblin camp. I will hunt Bilge again I still need the belt. However I will never spend more then 15-30 mins a setting and neither should u. Oh yea.. Dwigus is a lot tougher then Bilge. and no I did not see dwigus and I was the only peep in the zone. it was kinda funny cause after I killed it I shouted I killed Bilge!!! and there was nobody there to hear it..hehe

The other day i was camping Bildge and thought that I would run to Quenos Hills and camp Hadden for FBE. So I ported to NK and started that long run thru Wk to Quenos hills
when i got to WK I just headednorthwest with numberslock running hard with SOW when some Mob
killed me (with summon) anyway I was bound on the island next to Chromiun When i popped I was totally naked right and guess what Bildge was attacking me (39) druid with not even a damage shield or nothing mimed so had to run and try to get root loaded finally did and rotted Bildge then got Diamond loaded and shaking like mad (because i'd camped him for ever right any way he found me by the entrance to Unrest but was 60 mana and tried to dot him but was taking dmg and tried to DD him lost mana and had Bildge 1/2 dead and had to zone into Unrest and med up zoned out and he meds faster then I did he was almost healed like new so I dotted him and zoned again but to nogood after 3 zones I came out and someone killed Bildge and sat there laughing at me ..............

I've camped him for 26 long boring hours straight ! I've seen 4 Dwigus's (made 4 clerics happy hehe) 2 Squallslithers and 1 Jetsam, but NO BILGE.

What am I doing wrong?

Welp first of all i wanna say that there are two sides to the AC spawn in SRO. One side that says its completely random, and the other side that says they know how to make it spawn. Welp after a week or two of straight working on the spawn in SRO, researching every bit of info i could find, and putting different combonations in. Ive gone 8 for 8 times so far of getting the AC to spawn. now of the two years prior to playing this game, ive only seen him in SRO once. though i didnt cross sro much and never fought there really. thats still weird. I'm not saying ive mastered the spawn there, Cause i still have more tests to do, but 8 for 8 nights is pretty dang good. the point is. alot of people started off saying the AC in sro was a rare and totally random spawn. So dont rule out that this Bilge isnt triggered. it could be just about anything. As for what i do for the AC in SRO, its one of the weirdest combo's I've seen yet. And i havent broke it down so it might not ALL trigger the spawn. anyways...

"Tell ya what" Ill spend at least a month trying to figure out this spawn. Whatever statistics my outcome is ill post here. If i give up (which from the sounds of it ill probably be forced to) I'll just leave this with a post of best of luck and god help you all whome want to camp him.

Either way, i dont really know why im gonna post this. But at least there will be a months worth of work on this spawn that you guys wont have ta do. see ya in a few.

BTW. i probably just got lucky to have ran acrossed the "SO CALLED" equation of how to make the AC spawn in SRO. to have found it (IF, i did) was one hellofa fluke eh? So just dont get ur hopes up. i dont have a lot of info to start off on this spawn, at least not like i did with the AC.

=) not to mention the 16 swatches of Terrorantula silk my partner and i bundled up in about a week of off and on playing once in a while during our fun times with the SRO AC spawn. =p

Hello, just here to tell a tail of dumb luck.
I was on my way to Unrest to get some items for my lower level characters and guild mates
when I entered Dagnor's. I hit track and didn't see Bildge or any other named. So I circled to zone on the right wall like I always do and finally I reached Unrest. I was down two bubs of mana so I decided to med it up before going in. When I was sitting there I saw a low level fighter running like mad for the Unrest zone. I figured probably a train of low level crap so I didn't pay much attension. To my amazement I saw "Bilge Farfathom begins to cast a spell." and I couldn't believe it. So I rooted it, waited to the low level fighter to zone, then nuked the sucker dead and once to make sure. Dropped the totem (God I was so happy!!!). Well anyhow I couldn't believe my luck so I equiped the Totem and headed for Unrest, and in there I received Bloodstained Mantle, Bloodstained Tunic, and Dwarven Workboots. It was my best day on Everquest in a long long time. Anyhow, don't camp him, you'll never see him. If your running in to kill something else you'll find him sometimes. Guess thats just what happens. I've camped him before with no results. Camped him for 5 hours straight and nothing. My two minutes into the zone to get to Unrest and I see him? Thats just funny.

After 2 months of popping in and out of DC to find this puppy, I finally got him on track last night. I had to rub my eyes just to make sure it was really him on track. LoL. He was near the Orc camp.

Anyway, I am a level 44 druid and he conned green to me. Hit snare, pulled him away from Orc camp, rooted, Calefaction, Drifting Death, Fury of Air, Calefaction and he's dead in less than one minute. Dropped him like a sack of potatoes. Guess I did not need Drifting Death, but I wanted to make sure. ;p

He dropped the belt. I like it. :)

He will pop anywhere, anytime. Just make sure you hit track if you're a ranger or druid. No use camping this guy. Just pop in when you're on your way to GF or Kaladim from BB or vice versa. Sooner or later, you will get lucky.

Btw, I killed Dwigus also a couple of days earlier and he was a lot tougher kill than Bilge because his arrows kept interrupting my spell casts.

Bilge can spawn anywhere at anytime.
Each spawn point can spawn Bilge.

It seems that each spawn point has a percentage chance of spawning Bilge. You can see this at the goblin camp. Why doesnt mariners always spawn at the camp ? Or the bosun ? It is always a mixture of goblins.For example each spawn point might be
mariner 40%
shaman 20%
bosun 20%
lord 15%
dwigus 4%
bilge 1%
I am not saying this is it, but I have killed bilge 5 times now and have camped this zone for months. I have seen bilge 3 other times as well.

I am a druid and usually grab a newbie and tell them to kill everything in sight, I will powerlevel them, the deal is if bilge spawns he is mine. Newbies go for it everytime and like I said ive killed him 5 times so I must be doing something right.

One important thing to remember.
You cannot camp Bilge this goblin is a free for all Mob, You cannot KS Bilge because he is so rare, If you lose him to a more powerful player congradulate them, you never know they may give you an extra reed belt.

If someone wants to argue tough talk to the Totem.
This is from experience and careful thought that I post this, Hope to see hundreds in the Cauldron.
Beat his ***.

let me tell the ironic things about this guy
I was taking my mage to unrest level 20 somthin
and my druid is 50+ so well I see bilge run past me to unrest zone
when he gets there I see a 20 psli fightin him
a higher druid gives him help for the belt or totem
and the pali stiffs him LOL

Some mobs will vanish if you kill them with a DOT - sounds like Bilge may do this

For those who may doubt this does happen I encourage you to test your theory next time you kill BILGE :). I have seen it with Whisperwind in Skyshrine myself and avoid DOTing names - especially rare names

I have been hunting Bilge Farfathom for a couple of sessions now and Have yet to seem him pop. Any suggestions on how to do this?

What Verant told you you is bull cause not only is the game chock full of bugs but the gm you spoke to must have lied to you. If you kill a mob even if it has NOTHING on it the corpse will stay there although maybe not as long as if it did. Many a time I have looted a mob with nothing on it and it poofs only AFTER I have looked in its inventory.

I have read about boring camps but i think as a druid I will use this new approach i read about. I call it TurboCamping. I will bind near where I think bilge spawns. When I log on everyday I will spend the first 15minutes of play looking for Bilge, And when I am ready to log off I will TP back and spend the last 15 minutes looking for him. I heard that using this method it is very possible to get bilge in a week or so. I did this for the Mutant and the mammoth hide cloak and got the guk weed and the cloak it worked. After two weeks if I dont have the PKT or belt I will try another camp. I like this method. Unfortunately, oly druids and wizards are gonna be proficient at it.


good luck all ye bilge hunters

I will let u know win or lose in a couple of weeks

I killed Bilge today after being in the zone for about 25 minutes. I was sitting near the gobby camp when I popped up track and there he was. As it turns out, he was up on the wall near Unrest. He was stationary until I got close then he started running toward the water until he saw me and attacked (I am a 54 druid). I don't quite remember exactly, but I believe I cast 2 scoriaes and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. He had the belt on him, but I didn't see Dwiggus at all, and there were maybe 2 other level high teens in the zone, so it is doubtful that Dwiggus was recently killed. So maybe he is a random spawn after all.
