a rare creature

This named Goblin is found in the goblin fort in Warsliks woods and also in at least two of the goblin-infested ruins in the same zone. His gloves really are quite nice. Grachnist soaks up a lot of damage for his level.

Spawn and drop rate

Just did it long enough on live to get 2 shrunken skull earrings. Both times it took about 35 kills.

He can spawn from any static spawn in the zone, which there is about 50 of them. Never seen him roam. I would cycle through all the spawn and you'd typically get ~2 of them every run but it ranges between 0-6 typically.

So about 4% spawn rate and the earring has about a 3% drop rate.

Outside the 2 earrings, I only got iksar scaled gloves every other time, no other notable drops.

Also, while grinding this my cabilis legion faction went from threatening to warmly, which made me reconsider not doing the greenmist quest as a DE SK.

50 Kills - 0 SGSE's...

Just killed him over 50 times (no exageration - he spawns alot!) over 2 days on Ragefire server, he didn't drop the earring yet.

Some info: He spawns in the place of any goblin in the Warslick Woods goblin fort, roamers or statick spawns alike. Watch out for "a goblin messenger" who roams the whole zone and the fort: he is higher lvl then Grachnist himself.
He aslo can spawn at least twice, I had 2 Grachnist's up yesterday, so i took a screenshot:


Screenshot link here.

Going back to hunt him down until i get it, and I will never ever hunt this earring again. I'm only doing it for the instant clicky junk buff, for dispelling Velious mobs.

To any poor soul who wants this earring: buy it.

Few are lucky and get it on first drop. Some within a few hours. On average it takes 4-5 hours to get a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring, if you keep clearing the fort nonstop. Over the years I have farmed at least 50 of theese earrings. Every time I deside this is my last. It's such a boring camp. But I just keep coming back from time to time, hoping to get lucky very quick, but always end up staying for at least 3-4 hours.
I have found it on first kill one time. One time I found 2 right after eachother. But the rest of the times I camp him is no fun at all. In the session I'm in as I write this, I'm going on my 9th hour. The last 4 clears of the fort I haven't even seen Grachnist pop.

When I'm really serious and I have the zone to myself, I camp the fort, all 3 ruins, the lake and the open 9spawn area.
With a bind in the right spot and gate ready to use you can time it so you kill the last mob on the route when the first one is about to pop again.

Just keep beating the corpse and eventually you will get it..
Stupidly hard to get earring

The earring is stupidly hard to get. Seriously. I've been camping it for hours and all I'm getting is lame gloves. I find that the Goblin Fort is a good spot to spawn Grachnist. Keep it cleaned up every pop, I guess it'll help. I have a druid for track and it's probably a good idea to check the other goblin spawn areas to make sure he's not up there also.

Location /Loc is Located at: 2883.80, -85.94, -16.35 is the approximate location i am right now. Clear all the goblins in that area.

Earring

ive sold about 14 earrings or so. drops about 1 in 25 or more. ive had so much as 2 spawns in the same building at the same time drop earrings. if u cant get one just wait for the fabled to come around and get a fabled gob earring. drops every time and chance to get normal earring on fabled as well. not much harder than normal grachnist and the spawn rate is about 1 in 5 normal grachnist.
Annoying

Unless they bumped up his drop rate for non-anniversary events,
I have camped him 2 x 6-10 hrs for myself and 1 alt.

There were times when I had 3-6 of him on track and no earring to be seen.

If he drops anything else worthwhile I probably did not notice
since I had tunnel-vision on the shrunken goblin skull earring.

The Fabled version of this Guy was fun as well! Got 2 of the Fabled earrings off of him. +27ATK is nice.
RE: Fabled Version
# May 08 2005 at 8:50 AM Rating: Decent
I agree you dont have to kill the fabled version 47 times for him to drop the earring lol
hehe
# May 05 2005 at 1:02 AM Rating: Decent
I've killed grachy I dunno how many times, but I have had and either sold or gave away the earring 20+times. if you wanna see rare, try camping the invis to animals ring that drops in Loio. that's fun. have got that 3 times in almost the same amount of time I camped grachnist

To rare

WTF why is this earing so rare youed think that after all these expansions they would update it to be common drop its even more rare than PoP rare items i mean cmon i have killed over 100 of this guy in about 7 hours and now he is spawning every 4 or 5 fort wipes and he has NEVER dropped anything but those cloves and some gems and stuff this is TOTALY not worth the time unless you get it like right when you see and kill the named, if you are there for more than an hour i recomend you leave!
RE: To rare
# May 08 2005 at 8:54 AM Rating: Decent
Its rare because ts a 10k item that drops off of a lvl 30 mob. They cant make it common! then that place would be camped all day. You see SoE has a thing about not letting anyone below lvl 60 make any money. Just learn to live with it. I have. SoE might eventually make it so its possible to make money for people below lvl 60 but i dont think thatll be very soon



is near FOB zone in

There are some stationary goblins when you zone in from FOB, immediatly on right you see a goblin ( usually a battlemaster or a warrior,loc 1601,-3780 is the area). The other that the Destroyer ocupied is a little South West form that spot and it may have a PH, I killed 2 witchdoctors then a higher level soothsayer and left zone for about 1 hour returned to see that the destroyer was there. As a level 24 Shaman he may still be there! Hope this helps someone.

I have been camping this guy on and off for a few days now. I have killed him about 40-50 times now and he has never dropped one earring. I don't see how it is this rare given the price on it. If you have to spend more than a week to get it then it's worth a bunch more than like 7k...

easy!
# Nov 04 2004 at 6:24 PM Rating: Decent
took me 7 kills to get the earring drop. Meanwhile did some faction work and annihilated the camp with my pet.

Very easy plat for such a stupid simple camp. Mob can spawn anywhere other gobbies do. I have had instances after a camp wipe one would spawn.. killed him and another would spawn.

Could a lvl36 SHADOWKNIGHT solo this guy???
RE: Solo Killer
# May 08 2005 at 8:56 AM Rating: Decent
It depends on what your equipment is. You dont need very good stuff to beat him but if your useing rusty 2hser u cant beat him. But a lvl 36 SK could prolly beat him badly. And if not jsut use Harm Touch either way your good.
Got the earring
# Jun 03 2004 at 4:09 AM Rating: Decent

loot
# May 20 2004 at 12:43 PM Rating: Decent
took me an hour to find the dude, dropped him easy with a 47 warrior, iksar scaled gloves and his head
RE: loot
# Jun 06 2004 at 3:13 PM Rating: Decent
dropped him three more times, iksar scaled gloves both times.. about three hours he popped 4 times never dropped earring. Very long and boring camp. I didn't have a tracker so i had to run around which was a pain. Better than camping Crusader Zoglic
RE: loot
# Jun 22 2004 at 4:23 AM Rating: Decent
I don't think you are camping him properly if you only saw him 4 times in three hours and you think you need a tracker. You can get 1-3 Grachnist pops per clearing of the goblin fort. Respawn is 17 minutes, so you can easily see 6-8 Grachnist an hour, with maybe 1 in 10 having an earring.
