Maybe he spawns like someother named creatures like Terrorantula. Maybe if someone killed a WHOLE lot of normal armadillos he would spawn. Worth a try

I ran into Dunedigger last night on the Xegony server while running to Oasis. It aggroed on me, so I killed it. All I got off of it was a armadillo hide. As of last night, I was a lvl 20 paladin. I didn't have any trouble killing it.

For anyone doubting if this guy still pops, he does. I ran into him yesterday on Luclin server. Very green to a 39 chanter (of course)and he had the shield.

Yep, he still pops, after playing the game for over a year and a half, I had never seen him til the other day, unfortunately someone beat me to him, but he still roams nro.

killed on bristlebane two days ago on my monk twink, near water side about to zone into the oasis...Not jan 1st, October 20th. Dropped a armidillo hide, unlike the ones the regular Armadill's drop, it wasnt stackable and was 0.0 weight.

Good luck ;)~

My lvl 11 shadow knight had no problem taking this thing out. I had a druid buff on me and my pet. Together we killed him and i had a little less than half my health left. When i killed him he was near derv 3( the one next to the wall)

My name is ener and i am now a lvl 12 shadow knight on the Drinal Server.
JUST KILLED HIM

Okay some starting info...
I'm a 29 Druid
I play on Vazaelle

Now i found him on my Track (so yes he does appear on tracking) and recognized him as an incredibly rare spawn. When i found him he is at what i assume is his spawn point.

Do you know the tower near the mid/back of the zone, with the door at the bottom? He spawned near it up the dunes that surrond it on the North side.

It was around 5ish or so central time when i got him.

It was day time in EQ (guestimating around late mourning, noonish)

He was EASY at 29. Only took 1 creep crud and 1 combust. I let him linger a bit so i could get some screenshots.

He dropped the shield for me. Pretty nice sheild. Now adorns my human SK alt.

anyone know what time dunedigger spawns?looking at these posts it seems the time depends on what server you're on.also,can this guy be tracked?thanx for the help
Saw it once...
# Sep 10 2001 at 2:49 PM Rating: Default
I saw him once, on Karana Server. It was my necro and 2 other necros. We all had pets, so it was quite fun to watch it die :) It killed 2 and almost got a third, but we didn't get scratched. It was lvl 12 for sure, because i had a lvl 9, red, and to the 10 it was yellow. All it droped was a skin, worth 1pp to the vender.

RE: What is so great

We don't care if you're a twinked char. It's good anyways think of all the extra HP it'll give one at 10+!
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 01 2001 at 8:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I just stuck my finger behind my ear and rubed there then sniffed my finger and it stunk bad like your **** might smell. thats my 2 cents

Now i'm not for sure if he spawned or not didn't actually see him but someone said they killed him right before i zoned into N Ro. I typed time in real fast and it was May 5th 1 AM EQ time. this was acouple of days ago. Once again though not sure if he spawned because i didn't actually see him.

Dunedigger spawned last night around 8:00PM CST in RL. Don't know what date/time in game. Myself, 11 Necro and my partner, 11 Cleric killed it easily with my pet helping. Dropped the shield.

Ok I see all you guys are confused, Dunedigger spawn january 1st eq time, that's once a year for you math prodigies =P but yes, it's right behind derv 3 not sure on the time omn january first but always jan first eq time. Good hunting and WTF is this hide for? lol
RE: Dune dogger's real spawn time
# Sep 19 2001 at 1:00 AM Rating: Default
Guys i just killed him and it was NOT jan 1st EQ time.
RE: Dune dogger's real spawn time
# Aug 26 2001 at 2:14 PM Rating: Default
I'm not so certain of this spawn time of Jan 1st. He spawned in NRo at approximately mid-August game time. Right now, it is August 28 game time and he spawned about 4 hours ago.

# Aug 25 2001 at 7:47 PM Rating: Decent
Well I camped with a guildmate at Derv3 with good LOS all around all day January 1 EQ time and no Dunedigger. SuZek server :\
RE: Dune dogger's real spawn time
# Aug 19 2001 at 8:17 AM Rating: Default
yes jan first EQ time but the hour is random which means he spawns any time of day on jan first EQ time. one more thing he loves to pop right behind you and hit you from behind.
