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.

Drifting death and enveloping root combo to clear out all the 20's < mobs and sit and wait during the slow death of the mobs .. clear out 10-12 spawns and see if big G shows his face
#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 26 2000 at 2:20 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Saw him next to FOB zone point. Me (lvl 17) and a 19 SK tried him out. After loosing almost 400 hp in about 2 seconds I zoned, but just wanted to post to let others know that he sometimes spawns here.

Grachnist Spawn about 1 / 20 Goblins, the ideal place to fight him is at the ruins near the end of the stream (where it meets the river). The Iksar Scaled Gloves are 10 Ac 3 Str. 3 Dex., 10HP (i think), they are always drop, the whip is 23/5 +10 HP 1hs (shams can use) and are 1/10 drop, the earings are 3 ac effect: grim aura (unlimited), and is about 1/20, the totem is 4 wis / 4 str, and is 1/30 drop

i do think that its totally random, ive killed him 5 times and got gloves the first time (he always drops them), the totem the 2nd time and the shrunken goblin skull earring the 5th time. since the earring wasnt lore i tried farming him, killed him about 10 other time and got nothing but gloves to drop

I think those statistics are off

I killed Grachnists 57 times
I received 57 gloves (1 in 1)
I received 1 totem (1in 57, but I suspect this is just bad luck)
I received 10 heads (1 in 5.5)
I received 0 whips (notta)
I received 1 shrunken earring (1 in 57... told 1 in 50 is about normal)

Very nice drops
# Oct 03 2000 at 3:29 AM Rating: Decent
This guy has some REALLY nice drops for such a common spawn. He can spawn ANYWHERe there's a stationary goblin, and there can be more than one of him up at once. had 4 or 5 one night :)

I got lucky and got the totem. Awesome item for druids, cleric, paladins, or shamans, as it goes in the ranged slot. Have had peoplee offer me up to 6k in trades for it. as it's about a 1/50 drop, I'm not selling it any time soon :)

Can have many spawn at the same time
# Sep 14 2000 at 2:46 PM Rating: Good
It seems that you average about 1 Grachnist everytime you clear the goblin city in WW. Once I even cleared the city and had 4 spawn. I was able to kill 1 before I had to run and FD. When I regained mana and recast my pet to go back to kill the other 3, someone had already killed one of them and got the earring.

I have seen Grachnist spawn in just about every spawn point in the city and across the bridge. I have even seen him spawn in the buildings on the road. I think he can spawn in any static spawn point. I have also seen him wandering across the bridge, I don't think he was returning to a spawn point since there wasn't anyone else there that could have pulled him so there may even be a wandering spawn.

Ya, grach can spawn practically anwhere. Seen him on the bridge, near the giant fort, and in the outlying buildings near the city. Eeasy kite once your 40+, but he has a ton of HP for his level. I couldn't kill him when he was even to me.

i have seen double spawns of this guy. i even got the pics to prove it LOL. it's not that tough to kite around for lv47 necro, but it'd get tricky if you get 3 aggressors and warriors on your back bashing and stunnign you all the way to oom LOL

I just rooted and nuked him at 36 with my Wizard. Nothing special, he was just standing in the woods. He has about as many hitpoints as a Giant (Forest/Mountain) of equal level.

earring dropped last nite
# Sep 12 2000 at 2:12 PM Rating: Decent
The earring dropped last night while some guy was looking for the Totem.
By the way, I'm a level 30 Druid, and though I never actually killed Grach - he's responsible for financing about 2k worth of my equipment - after tonight you can probably add another 1k to that. The gloves are lore (you can only carry one pair at a time) - and they sell pretty quick in EC at 200pp/per. As long as someone is whacking Grach for the totem or earring you can pretty much count on a constant supply of gloves in the fort. It's very courteous to ask before looting them, even if you know the person hunting Grach can't carry another pair.
Yeah, I know its a racket - and you all probably hate me for it, but alot of people are getting some nice gloves pretty cheap and they just decay if left there - and you'd do it too if you could.

heya. also skeptical about Earring of Grachnist dropping off them. have killed 30 or so Grachnists and no earring. only thing other than gloves was a totem of warrior spirits. so... either the rares are insanely rare or the Earring of Grachnist drops elsewhere.

spawn time is fast. Grachnists seem to spawn as the very rare in lots of spots inside the fort. Have had 3 Grachnists up at a given time after clearing the whole fort.
Is he rare?
# Aug 26 2000 at 8:30 AM Rating: Default
I went there with a friend and he was not there. Just wondering what his spawn time was if anybody knows.
RE: Is he rare?
# Sep 13 2000 at 1:26 PM Rating: Default
if he's not there, just start whacking the other gobs in the fort - every high level gob in warsliks is a possible PH for Grach - I've seen him pop in 2 spawn points at the same time in the fort.
Earring of Grachnist, prove it.
# Aug 24 2000 at 6:49 PM Rating: Default
With the name it is easy to assume that it drops (still drops) from Grachnist but has anyone actually gotten one? Before my camp last night (5 kills, got skull!) I'd spoken to people and read sites about his drop rates. Summed up tales of a thousand kills and no one person ever saw the Earring of Grachnist drop. Skulls, Totems, Whips, Gloves and once even some wolf leggings (so-so leather class) but never the Earring. I'd like to know if anyone has even seen one in game at all or known someone who's seen one. Good money says that it dropped that first week of wacky loot off of something somewhere and was attributed to Grachnist from the name.
RE: Earring of Grachnist, prove it.

The Earring of Grachnist DOES still drop off Grachnist, but is insanely rare. I've been present for at least 200 Grachnist kills and the earring has dropped only twice (with the totem dropping about half a dozen times).

i guess if 6 shamans with the jaundiced bracer would probably make mince meat of him
but where the hell do you find 6 shamies with the bracer on any one server =)
Minimum Level
# Aug 04 2000 at 7:33 AM Rating: Decent
The minimum level stated is a bit high. I have seen Grachnist spawn as low as 31st level.
Really??
# Jul 26 2000 at 2:15 AM Rating: Decent
Well, this guy really drop totem & earring for now?? I used over 8 hours to kill it more then 30 times!!! And i never see any whip, earring or totem, only gloves gloves gloves, is that GMs changed or I'm so bad luck like this?? LOL

I got the whip on one, and the gloves rest of the time. The first time I ever killed him he dropped the shrunken gob earring (3 ac grim aura) and the gloves. Guess I got lucky. I tried to trade the gloves for the totem, no one seemed to have it. A ranger traded me belt of cenobyte 7 wis for the earring which i wanted for my cleric character.

Later a stupid sk friend mentioned "oh ill trade the totem off my old druid for that earring", which is what my druid really wanted =/
First kill

My level 37 Iksar monk took Grachnist down solo for the first time last night. It was a very close fight, including using a mend. He dropped only the gloves (I already had a pair).

"Do you think 6 level 21 Shaman's with Full mana could take this guy down?"

Absolutely not.

"All six surround Grachnist beyond aggro range. Two responsible for keeping root on him. One responsible for landing an Affliction. Then that one goes DD. Three all do Spirit Strike for about 80 damage, 6 times each, assume 70% yield, for about 1100 damage from the DD's."

While this might sound good in theory, the problem is that he would resist EVERY single spell your team casts on him! This is because Grachnist is more than 6 levels higher than you are.

Doubtful at 21 you could take him down.
A level 33 mob would probably resist all of your attacks.

Would this take care of Grachnist?
that grim aura earring
# Jul 01 2000 at 2:26 PM Rating: Default
Yes this guy does also drop that earring... dont know what its called and to lazy to scroll up but its unlimted charges of grim aura
Yes, Also drops the shrunken gob head ea
# Jun 28 2000 at 6:45 AM Rating: Decent
This is far less common than the totem I guess. My 51 druid whacked about 15 gob spawn spots at the fort and he filled one of them ; )

I looted him and no totem that I wanted, but he had BOTH the Shrunken goblin head earring (ac 3, effect grim aura (use like jboots, over and over, unlimited = D )
AND The Iksar scaled gloves, AC 10 melee
types/shaman/cleric.
Was fun to get both of these on a single kill though no totem. I hear that the totem is way more common than the shrunken gob head earring, so I just had bad luck = /
I gave both the items to my level 15 cleric who is in overthere, she needs the ac from the gloves and the earring adds ac and quite a few to hit with the grim aura effect ; ).

My druid was oom from killing all the spots with other gobs, but I snared him anyway then med kited him.. took some time.. and pin cushioned some. He sometimes hit for as little as 4 -6 and the highest he hit me for was 88 once.

Gloves

Today i was grouped with a Warrior a Wizard and a Necro (me being a lvl 22 ranger) in the giant fort. I went afk for two minutes and when i got back there was a lot of comotion and asked what was going on, a lvl 51 paladin was giving out the loc of free Iksar Scaled Gloves and the warrior in my group had already taken off. By the time i got there the gloves had poofed and i was pretty bummed. I asked the Paladin there if i could stick around a while and if the destroyer spawned again he could kindly kill him and give me his gloves. He agreed and and that very moment he spawned, took three breaths of fresh air and was face down in the dirt =) I thanked the pally and set out with my new gloves that should keep me satisfied for quite awhile. I highly recomend you pick up a pair if you can use them =)

good lord these things are nice.... i'm a 24 shaman, grouped with my lv 36 warrior buddy and we took this guy down fairly easy. Haven't seen anything else drop off him yet, but have only killed him twice (gloves only both times).
