Getting this little b*stard to pop is really difficult. Cleared more than 2x PH and never seen it pop, not even one time. I prolly just give up on this quest, this really sucks.
had him spawn twice in maybe 15 clearings of the PH, which by the way, is when you enter the maze, hang a right, and its the second left, you'll find 3 lizards in a room with fire sticks, the PH is the middle one. first spawn had him drop the sword second spawn had him drop the hammer third spawn i'm hoping for the book, to sell, because SOMEone out there HAS to be doing this quest. i need money!
> I've been camping this little ******* for days with no luck on the tome :(. Bleh, I yet have to see that damn mob spawn. Been camping that ******* for the last couple of weeks now, average of 3 hour camp each day(5 1/2 hour straight camp yesterday only seeing PH). Fortunately solo AAxp's there as good as - or slightly better - than an average WoS group...
If you're skilled at soloing summoners as a druid you should have no problem with this camp. The mobs in here are on a 20-minute timer, no wanderers near the camp and everything can be harmonied, even around walls. Got this guy on the 4th spawn and he dropped the book. He likes to break root quite often so your best bet is to load him up on dots and nuke at close range. He doesn't interrupt a lot and he likes to cast spells, so he can be burned down quite easily.
A small note for whoever is camping the tome, chunk of Tae Ew meat is pretty valuable if you have a high baking skill. Each piece of meat makes 8 Candied Tae Ew(Chunk of Tae Ew meat, Frosting, Spices in Oven) which sell for 19pp each, so, if you don't fail combine 100 plat per meat drop.
WOot! Either im extremely lucky or this isnt very rare. I came here to camp two of these books for me and my chanter friend. Did very good I got the book in 20min on first spawn =). Next book dropped 40min later. All in all an hour camp for 2 books.
Me (65 Chanter), a 55 dru, and a 65 pally went to camp this for my final book on 3/10/2004 and after 2 hours it droped on the second spawn! This camp is all luck and very boring.
He spawns at pos43, neg270 in the maze. Spawn time is 20 minutes here. -- Can inviso into this spot if you don't hit the see inviso guy by accident. -- Can pull to the hallway and fight there. We used harmony pulled one at a time and did this spot with a 65 Mage and 65 Druid no problems.
Yeah we found the camp, he was up. Killed him and got the book. 5 mins tops. Just kidding, we're 12 hours in, 2 spawns so far. Stupid hammer dropped both times. Also if anyone's fighting acidic mass, the proc hits this camp as well. They need to like re-revamp this horrible zone. On the bright side we get an AA every 5 hours.
Edit: some useful information instead of rants: The room is a 3-spawn camp. The bloodfiend has 1 placeholder in the camp. That placeholder has an equal chance of spawning as the following each time: bloodcaller, bloodfiend, convert, defender, disciple, fanatic, justicar, lifedrinker, proselyte, spiritcaller, warrior and zealot.
At 10-15 mins a pop, that's 2-3 hours per bloodfiend on average. Some get lucky, some don't. There's also a 1/3 chance he will drop a sanguine tome. Yer looking at a 6-9 hour camp if everything goes well. If you have horrible luck like me, you'll be there for days.
As the previous post stated this spawns at the 3 spawn. However there are two 3 spawns that I found in the maze. The correct 3 spawn is the one with the 3 pots hanging over the fires. I was running my group back and forth through the maze over and over killing both camps as we werent sure and didnt want to take the chance. So again its the camp with the pots hanging over the fire not the one with the collum looking things. GL took us awhile to get him to spawn but he dropped it first time when he did ...we were ready to go..
Post is right on about the room, except I count 4 pots.
How to get there: zone into CT, not port to wizzy spire. Invis up through double doors at entry. Look right after doors and go through the only door on the wall there. Congrats yer in the maze.
Take first right (careful its easy to pass) then second left (theres a raptor just at this halway entrance). As you walk up this hall stay on the right wall. First left has spider, dont go there. Second left is spawn point. Stay in hall just outside room its completely safe and enjoy a looong wait. Still there mahself.
