PH or this guy spawn precisely at the coordinates +1770.97, -3844.78.

respawn time is precisely 13 minutes, 8 seconds (give or take a second)

Hope you're ready for a long camp. I've had 12 ph's in a row so far, after I finally managed to kill the ph near the bottom left of the map. Was killing 40-60 mobs at a time with my bard sitting at these coordinates for about 2 hours before one finally spawned here. Don't let one get away, or you have to start over.

Good luck, bards!

EDIT: 37 PH's so far. Thinking of a petition to ask if he can spawn still.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I brought in a second toon with war merc and sat him down at the spawn point. Put merc on aggressive and start highsunning. I found the spawner finally after an hour or so. After that it was camp time lol.
Thank you, Fusionx. :)

Fusionx on Saryrn server is the man. Just saying.

He slaughtered the zone on his necro while I waited for a PH to pop on my head. Wouldn't even take my money. This just goes to show there are still decent people playing this game.

btw, I'm on my second pop. Hopefully the 25% rare spawn increase for Memorial Day weekend will favor me and he'll spawn soon.

Just confirming that +560,-4010 is a valid ph. managed to find this mob out in the horde mobs WITHOUT an alternate account by memorizing what the spawn point looked like on both +560,-4010 and -1750, +3850 then highsunning every mob and bind sighting them using Lyssa's Solidarity of Vision (there is no range limit to our bind sight spell) and checking to see if they popped at either spawn point... takes about 8 seconds total for each mob. the mob popped at +560,-4010 and i hightailed it over to that location which i had marked on my map and tried my best not to lose the target as i ran. camped and he spawned at about the 6th ph.

Got really lucky...found the PH randomly within about an hour(green chromodrac at lvl 57). It highsun-ed to the old loc, 500, -4000. Three spawns and Eldrig popped, dropped the guts.

Solod on a 57 Bard, not recommended though :)

This was a little bit of a pain. I tried doing the Highsun method and decided that mass pulling and killing with my main is a faster way to find ph. The spawn location is pos 1775 neg 3844, which is in northeast part of map close to wall. If you come from overthere you can follow east wall to the spawn point. The hardest part is finding the ph, who has been wondering around for days, and getting it back to spawn point. I found ph in southern part of zone. 13 min on respawn time is accurate. Ph con light blue to 56 Bard.
Ph Possibilities: (but not limited too)
Wyvern
Skyash Drake
Skycinder Drake
Chromadrac
Mature Wurm
Finally Eldrig the Old spawned after bout 20 those ph
Dropped gut first time
my 2 cents

Hi, just camping for my baby bard here, so thought i would post my experience.

Test Server

spawn time 13 min:09 sec :646 ms.

location pos 1775.0, neg 3874.43, neg 162.69

I was facing 2 clicks north of west which is the direction the PH will go,( if you forget to sit like i did once and they dont aggro)

place holders were...

a chromadrac
a bottomless gnawer
a wurm
a chromadrac
a wyvern
a mature wurm
(oh boi looks like i not going to get quick spawn, heh)
a wyvern

fixxing to have to call it, hope i can find the ph again

oh did use the highsun method to find ph, which was just east of the southern most lava pool

In attempting to spawn Eldrig without Highsun available, I simply went to the west side of the lava pool and annihilated all the mobs in the area for about 30 minutes on my monk. The bard waited at the +1750, -3840 spot - and had 'a bottomless gnawer' spawn on me. Then sat and waited for Eldrig.. didn't take too long.

i found the highsun thing really annoying to do so i found a spot where mobs nvr stop... -2320, 180 i took my shaman and his t5 merc and pulled anything i could see from on top of the little hill and parked mage at spawn point 1750, -3845 and 2 hours pass and one spawned on top of his head.... and it was fun to keep killing...hope this helps some

I completely agree with above post. If you're running around using highsun you are bound to run into the same mobs multiple times and not realize it.

I am assuming that at this point you'll be at least 65+ before trying to do this epic. So just set your bot on the mentioned loc and just run around slaughtering everything till the ph pops on your bot.

After finding the PH, took about 10 kills of the PH before i had Eldrig pop for me. I must say this was the most frustrating part of the epic. Good luck!

I found my ph just west of the large lava lake. It was "a chromadrake" and conned light blue to my 60 bard.

Can confirm the best way to find this guy is to have either someone or a boxed character stand at +1750,-3840. While you go around highsuning every mob possibly on track. I found my mob around Veeshan's Peak. Once the mob gates back to +1750,-3840 kill it and the respawn time is 13 minutes. Good luck.
Pop'ing "Eldrig the Old"

Just did this with brother for his new Bard was easy. Parked my Enc at(+560, -4010) spawn point . Mage Parked at the (+1750,-3840) spawn point. Bard went off an started Gateing all the mobs back home started in center toward the area in middle of straight out from Overthere Zone line an worked out from there believe the bone yard by wiz port in next. After about 25 min's the Mage at (+1750,-3840)spot had one land on her head. well after a few more mins bard took a break mage had 3 pops 13 min's apart an then nothing (maybe one got away not sure), Bard took off to Gate more mobs. This time one landed on my Enc head at the (+560,-4010) spot I set a timer for 12mins 35 sec's an started watchen TV watchen screen more closely when it was time each time the mob spawned on me head at 13 min apart took about 10 or 11 spawns to get him me brother's bard got his piece.

I did make sure to sit my enc on the ground after each pop. so that the next mob popped it would argo me (but thats just common sense). When timer went off i would look toward screen for pop, Every time a mob spawned it attacked my enc an my pet in turn murdered it. Then i sat Enc back down an reset timer an went back to the Tv . Both spawn points seem to work we had luck with the one at (+560,-4010) but i would say to park a friend at both to be sure.

Thie does work if you dont like how long it takes "its a epic get over it" LOL

Spawn Points are (+560,-4010) an (+1750,-3840)

Good Luck an God Speed :<) Spellfire of Zeb/xegony sever

Works like a charm. It took 14 straight hrs of PH's at +1750 -3840 but he finally popped. The original PH was wandering the SW corner of the big lava lake.
no ph
# Aug 07 2008 at 12:18 PM Rating: Decent
Cant seem to find any ph at all, been standing at both spots for 2 hours and no ph. then once I can track from spots is far out into zone, so no mob is wandering along the wall either way..

Anyone got any idea on what I should do?

Highsun'd a mature wurm by the bone yard. proceeded to camp spawn for 27 hours until he spawned. clear your schedule

Confirmed that he can also spawn at (555, -4050). Was killing a PH at this point, and also at the (1750,-3840) point. Both were 13 minute spawns. Good luck!!

Highsunned his PH back to (+1750, -3840). Went as far from the spawn as possible and started back highsunning everything in my way. Far west wall and just a bit south was where the mob was walking. Must have been up a long time.
confirmed
# Jun 15 2008 at 9:35 PM Rating: Decent
Yeah, sat my box ranger on the spawn spot (+1750, -3840), ran round the southern part of zone with necro and killed anything that moved. Mostly around the old boneyard, where he used to walk round in the old days when the spawns didnt all hang in the middle.

After 25 minutes a mob spawned on my rangers head, started attackin him... YAY, kiting ranger =)

Ran necro to there, killed it, 13 minutes later Eldrig popped, died, and happy bard alt logged in and looted.

OMG

confirm loc
# Jan 04 2008 at 9:46 PM Rating: Decent
Just wanted to say I can confirm the -1750, +3850 loc for the PH of this mob. I ran for hours highsunning everything...finally WAAAY in the SW'sh area of the zone, i highsunned a sky ash drake.

Just wanted to add that your spotter (or your alt on another monitor) has to be very quick to catch it...as soon as it gates back to it's original spawn point, it immediately takes off towards the west. If i blinked longer than a second I would have missed it on my alt's screen watching the PH spawn point. So make sure you check the spawn point *right* after highsunning every mob you do or else you can miss it.
How?
# Dec 08 2007 at 8:22 AM Rating: Decent
How in the world did ya'll just magically Highsun the right monster.
I've been highsunning for a week for a couple hours straight and never get anything back at his old spawn point.
And I haven't randomly seen him up in 2 months either. Lol.
Is there any certain area I should highsun or does the PH roam the whole zone?
Having highsun is key

Woot! Just got my gut!

I started trying to find Eldrig at level 51. Simply kited anything I could on the eastern side of the zone near his 2 spawn points. Didn't work although I did learn alot about charm kiting.

Level 56 now with highsun. Read all the posts on every board. Had 2 spotters back at Eldrig's spawnpoints and headed to the WEST wall on the other side of the zone (north of the druid port in). Highsunned anything from the mob list that I saw / tracked. Didn't take but maybe 10 mobs before a skycinder drake started hitting my spotter at Eldrig's "old" spawnpoint (p500, n4000). All 3 of us converged on that spot and started camping it.

Every 13 minutes a new mob spawned. On the 6th spawn, we got Eldrig. The warrior took the hits so I can't offer advice on how to solo him with the bard. But I can confirm that he still will spawn at his "old" spawn point. So just do whatever it takes to get either of his spawnpoints spawning again.
Urgh! Worst Piece to Camp
# Oct 12 2007 at 12:57 PM Rating: Decent
This has to be the worst part about this epic, is this mob. I had camped the old location for two days infact with no sign of him. After getting tired and fed up I decided today to move camp to the new location, p1780, n3860. After three hours, he popped=) One happy bardette! This was a pain.

I did do the method of having one toon logged in at the location while I went around zone gating the mobs back to their spawn point in order to get the PH where it should have been, once that was set, it was easy to just wait for the ph to pop every 13mins.

Good Luck Bards.

Eldrig the Old

Quote:
Confirmed, his spawn point is +1750, -3840 since the 2006 patch.

The best way to get him to spawn instead of killing 1840143 mobs is to have someone sit at that spawn point (+1750, -3840) and have the bard use his level 56 Highsun song which gates any mob back to his spawn point. Do that to any of the following mobs:

a wurm
a wyvern
a chromodrac
a skycinder drake
a bottomless gnawer
a mature wurm
a skyash drake

So run around skyfire and do that and hopefully you get him to spawn. Worked for me in a matter of minutes. His respawn time is 13 minutes. GL bards.


I can confirm +1750, -3840 and all the above info was correct. I put another toon at the old loc near entrance tho just cause i was paranoid heh. Best of all tho after first high sun next spawn was Eldrig the Old himself. Oh btw don't just stay near boneyard area tried there over period of 3 days like 1h 2hrs at a time and no luck. This last attempt i did boneyard then just roamed off like far north from overthere entrance and the pher was a chromadrac roaming out in the middle of no where.

Hope the confirmation helps anyone who's had crappy spawns once ya find his phers.

I been working on my twink bard epic and today I zoned into skyfire to find TWO I repeat TWO Eldrig the Old up and gated them both to there bind spots to comfirm their spawn spots and I can comfirm both the spawn spots post before spawn him.
p1780, n3860 AND p500, n4000


Not sure if the patch w/e it was done took off the old loc for him but i'd camp both to be safe going from this quote above.

This is my first post, i always love seeing reconfirmations so thats why i posted.
