Gynok Moltor  

Spent 5 hours camping him on Oakwynd until he spawned finally. He had two plat rings.

81 spawns, all placeholders... Mischief server, 6/8/2021 - 10.8 hours plus of camping him. This is really BS.

faction hits for killing him:

Befallen Inhabitants -30

I was camping the elf skeleton, behind the bottom door, and Gynok Moltor just happened to path by. I'm level 21 and he con'ed white to me, so he can obviously be lower than level 24.

They must have lowered the spawn time for the placeholders now. Perhaps they thought it was too time consuming. Exact spawn time is now 9 minutes and 53 seconds (If I added right). They may have even made him more common, not sure, but I've seen 3 within 12 hours today. Hope that information helps.

killed him TWICE today, both times he dropped ONLY the copper ring.

what the hell

It doesnt show the gold ring as known loot but I just got the gold ring today... guess I wont have to go back for the Guk Weed in Guk WOOT

i am a cleric 12 killing skeles for exp with some nice druids buffs
well he pops and i cant take him but a nice monk does (thanks!) and i get the ring woohoo~

Seen him about half a dozen times while levelling in Befallen: I'm almost certain that he is a random wanderer spawn and the placeholder is the plague rat, skelly, ghoul or whatever that walks from the entrance to the locked door and back... he seems to follow a similar path until someone aggros him (never got close enough without aggroing to verify that it's the same path).

He can see through sneak/hide. I was picking the first door today with my rouge twink when he spawned. He walked through the door to the top and didn't aggro me at first. But about 30 seconds later I got punched in the back of the head for 40 points, and being he was yellow to me I just tucked tail and ran.

When I first went to Befallen to camp Gynok, I wound up camping the wrong spawn for about three hours… oy. I didn’t choose this title just because it sounds funny, you know. Anyway, not counting that, here’s a log of my 29 druid’s attempt at camping Gynok and what placeholders spawned when. With sixteen minutes in between spawns, I had plenty of time to meditate at the zone. About two minutes before the spawn, I put up my damage shield so I would damage the mob a little when it aggroed. Like many people you love to hate nowadays, I got lucky and Gynok was the twelfth and final spawn at 11:34pm, the last one I planned to kill before bamfing for the night. Here’s the log…

8:38pm - a giant rat (first kill)
8:54pm - a plague rat
9:10pm - ice boned skeleton
9:26pm - ice boned skeleton
9:42pm - a large skeleton
9:58pm - a giant rat
10:14pm - a ghoul
10:30pm - ice boned skeleton
10:46pm - ice boned skeleton
11:02pm - a giant rat
11:18pm - a giant rat
11:34pm - Gynok Moltor (dropped platinum ring)

The percentage of appearance I calculated for each mob within the twelve spawns is as follows. These likely don’t reflect the true percentage, but it’s what I got. The ice boned skeletons and giant rats seem to be the most common spawns.

4/12 - a giant rat
4/12 - ice boned skeleton
1/12 - a large skeleton
1/12 - a plague rat
1/12 - a ghoul
1/12 - Gynok Moltor

Gynok was blue and about the same difficulty as the mammoths I had been fighting in Everfrost prior to this camp. Root, Immolate, nuke to one bubble of health, then sit back and feel your *** grow as he falls back into his coffin.

Of course, this info probably won’t apply to everybody’s sessions, but I hope it helps if you’re considering doing the Paw quest. I’m going to head over to Upper Guk tomorrow and see if I can get a spot camping the fungus mutant for the last two rings, possibly posting a similar log with drop percentages.

“I have way too much time on my hands.”

i had been camping moltar with my alt, a 22-cleric, for a few days hoping to get lucky and not have to camp for 6 hours (as i had heard). after a week went by with no luck, i had popped in not expecting much. i killed two PH's & was bored so i started to summon food (coincidently i suppose, but maybe he was hungry :)) when he appeared! i killed him with the help of a 22-ranger and all he dropped was the copper ring. so, thinking he wouldnt pop for another 6 hours or so, i went to the 3rd level to get some exp. i had to gate out & when i entered the zone, there was Moltar again & this time he dropped the plat ring. i have to say that i did go back and kill 2 more PH's out of boredom of camping a SK, but i never expected him to pop again so quickly--twice in one and one half hours!! So, his pops ARE random for those who want to know :)
