A familiar loc of -515, 1556, -7.94. Intersection for alot of mobs, and I watched him walk to this loc and then turn South. I told someone in zone to kill, they did, and I saw Grimtooth appear on track later. Must be coincidence.

Zahal the Vile also walked to this precise loc.

I ahev also seen him 2 times when I slaughtered mobs around the gypsy camp.

Respawn time and placeholders

I've had the zone locked down to watch spawns, and I'm pretty certain Timbur the tiny is simply on a long respawn timer with the typical trash as placeholders (a silvermist wolf, a griffawn, etc.).

Edit: Confirmed. I had Timbur the tiny respawn from this cycle.

It's not much due to the insane timer and has a few missing from when I let the zone loose, but here's what I had for spawns:
  • Timbur the tiny x2
  • a borer beetle x1
  • a griffawn x1
  • a lion x1
  • a lioness x1
  • a pincer beetle x1
  • a scythe beetle x1
  • a silvermist wolf x4
I believe the respawn time is 1 hour, 17 minutes, and 54 seconds (or ~78 minutes). I'm under the impression that this spawn timer has a small amount of variance to it. I've seen it take anywhere from 75 to 80 or so minutes, so keep that in mind.

I had one of each item drop between the two spawns.

Btw, he is actually just a tiny bit smaller than a normal hill giant as his name implies.

I have been in NK for about a week straight... literally 24/7, not logging out and keeping logs....
I have been able to get 100 highland lions to be up which leaves about 10 remaining roamers to cycle thru.
This way I get all other hunter nameds several times an hour. I leave those up (until something else kills them) and have had 6 named up at the same time on a few occasions.

Been running these last 10 or so spawns for 3 days aggressively and still no sighting of this guy.
I see the Silver Griffon a lot and leave him up.... is it possible he is on the same cycle? Ive tried killing it and now leaving it alone.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
pain in the A.. to pop him

After 3 days in NK I have every named numerous times except this guy and Grimtooth. Can't seem to find any specific PHs as Hill Giants appear to be just more uncommon pops than the other mobs. He is proving to be quite elusive.
glitch?

Killed The Silver Griffon, Timbur the Tiny, and two GrimFeathers back to back. Each seemed to spawn immediately on track as soon as the previous mob died. Curious what else is in this cycle as I lost it after the GrimFeathers. Definitely keep an eye out on the "rare" non-nameds.
lvl range is incorrect

I've seen this guy in NK twice in 53 levels and killed him both times. In both cases he dropped that useless sandal. Considering the ridiculous quest it's a part of, he's not worth the trouble. Unless of course he drops the belt ;-)
Think i could take?

Hey do you guys think a lvl 32 Ranger, that can hit for an avrage of 60 pts per hit or more with my 2hs weap, can solo him?
RE: Think i could take?

Since your at 32 you should be able to handle it with little problem (when I say little have some healing on hand preferably a druid or shaman friend). The biggest think you might have to deal with is agroing the big named griffs if you are close to the tower.

All in all though if you can take down a giant to get him to spawn.... yeah, yer his daddy =)

Tiny has been fixed on on the spawn table starting the 10/31/01 patch. So he should be around a whole lot more. Too bad they havn't made the scimtar worth having. ;/

Timbur lives....

I saw Timbur in NK last night for the first time in 48 levels, and killed him with ease, green to me... He had the sandal, but it's pretty pathetic, the quest I mean, you're much better off keeping the backpack. Trade a 1/3 weight reduction 8-slot backpack and this sandal for a sucky scimmy? No thank you...

I ran into Timbur today as well (Aug, 8th, 2001). I happened to pop up tracking and there he was (dead green at 47). He dropped the Sandal for me as well (too bad its not a magic item, doh! no bashing on magic only mobs!) No string on him, but this is the first time I saw him. He was in the area over by Inns towards WK. I can't say this is his "spawn point" but alot of stuff spawns in that area (GrimFeather, HGs, Griffons). By the way, I *was* killing GrimFeather repeatedly, just for amusement purposes. ;-) hehe)

Its possible that might have forced a spawn. I will go back and try again tomorrow. And I have a SS of him that I will submit as well. He looks like a regular HG, except he is shorter (hence the Tiny in his name).
plz give specifics

He's killed me a couple of times. I was low teens I was killing the wisp for exp and booqoo cash right at the gypsi camp. Was Medding up at the guards and BOOM, I was dead. Happened a few times, twice by Tiny, the rest from "normal" hill giants.

This was a couple months ago, but I doubt he was removed from game any time recently.

Well, I searched and I searched and searched some more...NK, WK, near the farm, near the Druid ring, near the gaurd towers... Yes, 26 RL hours wasted... time for sleep...and nuthin' to show for it.

I can neither confirm nor deny the existance of Timbur the Tiny

I once saw Timbur in NK not far from the north east corner, he droped the laceless sandle witch has been in my bank ever since. The thing was that once i had killed him a guy started shouting that he was looking for him, said he had trigered him, i asked how but he wouldnt reply <bonehead>.

By the way i never did tell him i had already killed him and let him go on shouting for quite sometime hehe.
