Grachnist the Destroyer  

I saw him pop just outside of the FoB zone line. Firts time I saw him he conned blue and proceeded to beat the living snot out of me. After I zoned and healed I went back in and he conned yellow. Druid friend came along and helped me poo all over him. Looted Iksar Scaled Gloves and Totem of The Warrior Spirit. Hope this helps.

From my experience, this camp isn't worth it. When I was fighting at the giant fort, camping the Bandit Lord and corpse running to Dalnir, I used to dream of the day I could camp ol' Grach. Well, I tried this in the high 30's and had problems. For an untwinked monk, he was too tough and his friends noramlly tipped the battle in his favor.

Once I got to 40. This camp became manageable. Unlike other lucky souls, I have killed him about 100 times. My loot has been, 100 gloves, 2 whips, 4 skulls, NO earrings and NO totems. I guess its just monk bad luck.

Seems like a better caster with a pet camp than a melee camp. Just to much running. At first, slaughtering is fun but by the fourth cycle through the fort and Grach still hasn't shown his ugly head, it starts getting old.

If you are a glutten for puinishment, be sure to have sow potions or be able to cast it. The gobbies run fast. Take out the casters first. They love to buff/heal everything around them and they cast sow on others. Keep an eye out for higher levels. Anyone over 40 that stays in this zone is either PLing someone or looking to camp Grachnist. Nothing else in this zone worth camping. Identify how many goblins you can kill before they begin to respawn and stay in that area. BY 43, I was able to clear the entire fort, except for the 5 spawn across the bridge and the sentries at the fort entrance. Whatever your kill range is, be sure to eliminate all casters who are close. They love to heal runners. On several occasions, I would get a Grach spawn in the same location after the second spawn was cleared. (Side note: I have noticed that many lore items tend to drop in pairs. Hunted in CC for 6 levels before I saw a Black Crystal robe drop off a herblist and the next herbalist had another BCR. Same with Oracle cloak, I finally got one and 2 oracles later, I got another. Worst example was being 17 in Kurns tower and found a Solists Icy Wand. Next day, I went back into Kurns and found another but couldn't pick it up, lol.)

Good Luck,
Durl

Does anyone know what the spawn time is in the fort?

could a lvl 35 paladin with mith 2hnder, 1250 hp, and 715 ac solo this guy with lay hands?

For all who want to know heres the lowdown on Grach D.

There are 2 feasible camp sites in WW for this guy, the main one is the goblin camp which I am sure everyone knows about, there are about 25 static goblin spawns here, Grach can spawn in place of any one of these static spawns, in addition there are several gobbo's that wonder the camp, again grach can replace any of these. It is possible to have multiple Grachs up at any one time.
There are also a couple of ruins on the path from the main gobbo camp to OT, containing about 7 static spawn goblins, grach can also replace any of these at random, this is the bum deal camp if the main goblin camp is already taken. If you are camping here you can also wonder up the path to the iksar pariah/exile ruins to take out the bandit lord and get the bracers of scavenging (Worth a few hundred pp on A Ro).

Grach D has a ton of hits for his lvl, I could solo him as a monk at lvl 40 with average eq, I would need to mend and bind after the fight, would need to rest between fights if two were up at the same time and occasionaly feign and start from scratch if things didnt go my way. He hits for around a max of 75, if he has the whip he hits quicker so disarm is a must.
Always clear casters out first (soothsayers, bloodtracers, witchdoctors) as they will buff his speed and attack, alternatively pull him away from casters range. Alternate your views to check for wandering adds, warriors, agressors and soothsayers are prone to joining in and can tip the balance of a fight thw wrong way. There are several safe spots to pull to, the middle of the bridge was my favourite at lower levels, always clear of wanderers. Now I usually kill everything else and then kill him where he stands.

His loot tables as listed above are way out. I have killed this guy around 300 times. He drops the following loot and nothing else (apart from random loot drops like words runes low valued gems etc)...

Iksar scaled gloves AC10 +3 str/dex +10hp (Good gloves but lore, and so common every adventurer and his dog has got a pair, some poeple still try and sell these in EC *laugh*). These drop every time.
Goblin slavers whip 5/23 +10hp 1HS (also wieldable by monks!?! junk nonetheless)
Grachs skull (Used for a quest).
Totem of the warrior spirit +3 str/wis +10hp (Range slot item, seen sold for between 1-3k very rare)
Shrunken goblin skull earring AC3 Effect Grim aura (Sells for around 5k on A Ro, rare)

I got bored at this point and left (my monk was at 166/121 weight carrying round all the cash I had looted). The bottom line is this, if you camp Grach D and get a Totem or Earring in only an hour of open play then you are lucky (gratsss), they are rare (the totem being rarer in my opinion, I have looted many earrings in the past and got my first totem today). Realistically you should expect to camp this for a fair few hours and there is still no guarantee of success.

One other thing, avoid pit fighter dob unless you have a cleric or shaman available. At lvl 48 I still cringe at the sight of him, you need a cure disease or similar to remove his DOT.

Leaving the DOB room alone I could do a circuit of the camp in around 12 mins which is about bang on the repop timer, this also means the casters dont get chance to buff the goblins or themselves making further circuits of the camp even easier.

Camp checks: This camp is also notorios for camp thieves. This goes out to the minority of lvl 50-60 ********* out there who think they own the game and are above common decency. ?!*& OFF.

If you want to keep your camp and someone is ignoring the fact you have been there for five hours already, make sure you log your eq session from the beginning, politely tell the player in question you have been there for ages and you will buzz him when you leave so he can come then, if he starts attacking Grach D get close enough to log him or his pet attacking it and /petition giving a screen dump. I have seen at least 2 arrogant players have there accounts marked by GM's this way :) For the lower level campers out there, occasionally a high leveller will complain that you cant clear the entire camp, if this is the case then let them have the bit across the bridge, there are only 5 spawns there, it will enable you to more easily clear the main camp and it wont be worth the other players time killing 5 gobbo's and then waiting for the repop so they will probably just go and leave you in peace.

The more polite players out there will usually shout camp check so make sure to listen out and shout up if necessary.

Oh 1 last thing, I usually fill my inventory with 8 slot back packs when doing this camp, nothing bites more than camping for 6 hours and not getting anything, at least I can collect gems, runes, words etc and sell them on for a little cash as a booby prize if its not my day.

Thats all, happy hunting.

My strategy for camping the fort as a monk at level 40 and 41 is to first clear the place of any goblin casters. Once they are out the way, no more buffs for Grachnist. :)

Then I usually camp all the tents and the gate. The reason for this is because by the time you kill the last goblin, you have time for maybe two or three more kills before they start respawning again. Now this is nearly of vital importance as Grachnist is like people say loaded with hit points, and that little pause can give you time to bandage up.

These spawns occur anywhere within the fort, from any place holder and he can pop more than once at a time. That’s the good news, the bad news is higher level players. Not all, but a good 50% will just run in and slaughter every goblin in the fort. So far none have kill stolen him from me, but they allow all the buffing goblins the chance to respawn, and if you think he’s hard unbuffed wait till he has heals etc. However in these instances you have to change tactics. Either make a deal like you hunt there and me here, or roll, but make sure you just hunt goblins in a way to maintain hit points at full, because Grachist is more likely to spawn with their farming the fort.

So far I have looted the Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring (1), Goblin Slaver's Whip (1), Iksar Scaled Gloves (every drop) and the Totem of the Warrior Spirit (1) from about 7 or so spawns. The skull of Grachnish has dropped twice for me as well.

PS avoid fighting the Pit Fighter Dob as although he’ll be blue too at 41, he has this nasty strong disease spell, which my monk still has 1 hour after I killed him. :(

You know, if this stupid creature didnt spawn every 8 seconds and always have those gloves, they might actually be worth something. Oh well, I wouldn't pay a pp for these gloves anymore.

As I was camping Grac tonight, at one point there were SIX spawns of him at the same time. Sadly though, he only dropped the Iksar Gloves...

His spawn point is RANDOM, simply keep killing all the Goblins in the fort, and he will spawn (fairly quickly I might add)

I am Level 60 and he dropped the earring for me just about a week ago

Some ppl told me the last nite that i may be too high of a lvl to get the skull earring. I was not aware of any lvl capping in WW only in the Warrens. Can anyone tell me definately that if Grac is green he will still drop the good stuff??

Some ppl were telling me that if Grac is green he will not drop the good stuff i just started camping him and killed him about 32 times over the course of about 10 hours of killing the Fort
i just hit 43 and my fire pet tears them gobbies up its pretty sweet but anyways is there a lvl cap thing in effect now i thought that was only in the warrens ???

Yep, it dropped, at the small fort at roughly 1500, 2400, west of the fort.
