So I see in the years since classic has been out no one has ever reported a bronze spear dropping from this guy. I do not know if this is an error on Aradune server or not, but he just dropped a bronze spear after hours of farming him and only getting rusty spears. I have petitioned this wondering if this is a bug as no one else has ever seen a bronze spear. I show no bronze spear ever looted in my /advl yet I showed them that it was indeed looted off this monster and sold to the vendor at the docks. Hopefully, it can be resolved whether this is indeed a true drop or Glubbsink's loot pool fixed so other enchanters can use this spear to assist with charm breaks on Aradune.
As mentioned in other posts, a variety of goblins spawn over time in the water.
However, every 17ish minutes, "an aqua goblin" spawns and paths out of the water by itself. The reason this may be significant is that it is the only goblin in the zone with the new model (every other goblin has reverted to the original goblin model).
This guy and his PHs spawn in the water by the docks, pretty much due west of the Tunarean Scout. Spawns can be 1, 2, or 3 mobs, and may be any combination of Glubbsink, an aqua goblin, an aqua goblin shaman, or an aqua goblin wizard. Respawn time seems to be random; I've seen respawns as quickly as 90 seconds, or over 10 minutes. It also seems like sometimes, they spawn, but don't actually appear until they get all the way to the gate, at which point Guard Dunil will aggro on them (while camping this guy, I've had multiple incidents of Guard Dunil chasing the mobs back into the water without my having seen them come out to begin with). It may be necessary, therefore, to hang out by the gate to ensure no lost spawns.

Very hard to kill at level 15, white con. I had to train him to the guards, and I really wanted to kill him because I never saw him before. Watch out!! This guy fires arrows at you!!

If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?
This piece of crap killed my Ranger while I was outside for about five minutes, ranger is only 10, just made him earlier today, this guy walked right past guards and into a house near the docks and killed me. Grrr... I shall bring the rath of my Mage upon him.
what's with this guy... when my Ranger was Lvl 6 or so, myself, a friend of mine, and a High ElfCleric who was about my level were standing near the docks near the WoodElf guy who stands on the bank, well some NPC realized that my friend was a darkelf, and he was killed, so the highelf and i wwere standing next to that guy waiting for him, when this CRAZY Goblin spawns RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WOOD ELF! he started immediately attacking us, we both ran to the guards, and they killed him, but it was truly an unforgettable EQ experience!! ^_^
for all those who want a spear with enduring breath, there s quest in toxx for a spear with three charges THAT CAN BE RECHARGED just by giving it back to the quest giver. a kitty on kerran isle wnats you to kill a rarespawn fish in the rivers off tox and give it to him.
this guy has a death whish, he came runnin out of the water at full tilt for the guards and my wizzy got of a 280dmg nuke but he kept running and then the guards started in on him so i gave up...ohwell
he attacked me while i was just swimming around- and i just wooped up on him. and low and behold he droped his speer on the first time. well- i don't want it and don't want to sell it to a merchant for they don't pay worth s#@t. so - how much should i ask for payment for the thing?????
Anyone know the spawn time on him? Just wonderin. Oh yah, and the second I walk in to camp him, he jumps out and attacks this person trying to camp, I kill it and it only has a Rusty Spear, that woulda been nice to get it right then.
im not sure on the spawn time but ive been studying this bugger for a few weeks (personal hatred of the blue jerk) and it seems that he usually spawns after you kill 2 aqua goblins its not 100 percent positive that he will spawn but from what ive seen he mostly spawns after those goblins are killed hope this helps..
No, i've tried that, I got him (dropped rusty) and after, I got 1 aqua shaman and 1 wizard (together so I had to run), then I got 2 normal ones in a row, then another wizard (who dropped a bronze spear), then another normal one.
I'm going back tonight and will stay in that spot until I get the spear.
I just read up on this and wouldnt mind collecting his spear for my collection. does he spawn near the docks to freeport? cause thats what it sounds like. I will get him soon enough.
just get into the water near the dock & swim a bit to bait him :)
best thing to do is try& root him, he hits really less hard with his bow than he does in hand to hand, just my 2 cents... Got him that way with hp buffs on from a high lvl Bard. Too bad he dropped a rusty spear...
He spawns out of the ocean. I was practicing my swimming skill when i saw him in there. He didnt attack me but he came out of the water and walked out the gate. I didnt follow as I am only 6 now.
I was waiting for the boat to Freeport at night by myself when I see this thing come out of the water. I ignore it at first, but then it starts hitting me with arrows so I ran down to kill it, but it started beating me with a club and stunning me. I barely made it back to the guards, I had about 12 HP left.
well he got me after i took care of this goblin shaman. I was medding at the time then all of a sudden something rose me up out of my med, (Gluubsink), i used root on him, but since i was medding i didn't have enough left to finish him off. He started shooting me with his bow and arrow, so i took off near the guards up on a hill to finish medding, he took two more shots and killed me right there. My level 15 wizard could have taken him only if i had MANA left.
I have only seen this once, and I am still angry about it. I heard some people talking about it when my boat from Freeport docked, and I just ignored it. I ran down the dock and on to the beach. Then this thing just comes hurdling out of the water. I tried to get to a guard, but I didnt make it. Lonladilie 8 Bard Terris thule
We camped this guy for about 3 hours. There were a series of single Aquagoblins that came out of the water. Then they started coming in pairs with a goblin shaman. Then finally a Goblin Wizard came out, which was a real bear. I think the wiz might be a trigger mob, becasue we'd no sooner finished ganking him, than ole' Glubsink came out and jumped us. We were both 16th level at the time, and he damned near killed us both before we got him down. Dropped the riptide on the first try, though. Don't know if it's not really that rare, or if we just got lucky.
#Anonymous,
Posted:Dec 13 2000 at 2:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I SAW HIM WHILE WALKING IN TOWARDS THE DOCKS HE CAME STRAIGHT TO ME AND RECIEVED HIS BEATING QUICK AND PROPERLY AND HE DID DROP THE SPEAR.THAT WAS AROUND 3:20PM cst 12-12-00
Your going to like this one. Iam a 22 level shaman in BB for the first time, and we are heading to Kunark. Iam in awe of this place, not wanting to get any NPC or mobs mad at me, so Iam like stealth shaman. We run up to the docks, and all of the sudden, a named goblin starts shooting arrows at me! I don't want to kill it and **** of a dwarf ( thinking it could be a pet, ie Furball Miller). Well ole Glubbsink keeps firing arrows at me, so I decided to show him how we treat goblins in Halas! So then Iam picking thru his corpse, and low and behold a riptide spear! My first kill in a new land and I get a magic item! I love this land! Too bad my main spear is an Ebon war spear, or else I would use the riptide. How much do they sell for on Elrollissi Marr server. Thanks
