For some reason the Spawn timer on this server seem to be 36h.
and as far as I know thats very very wrong:
There are posts as far back as May 03 2000 at 12:23 PM
That say they killed him several times during one night...how would it be possible if he was a 36h spawn ?
Only people that talk about 8h 12h 18h 36h are people that heard it from someone else, noone that actually camped it to see if it was correct, but there are alot of posts from 2000 and forward that say he is 100% NOT a 36h spawn
Posts that prove that is a 28/30'ish min timer:

2002 :
I camped him lastnight with 9 others from my guild.... I asked for a little help, a bunch showed up. We were all 50+ so it was a walk in the park to get to his spawn point.
We arrived and killed Ishva Mal's Place Holder, and then moved into his room. After about 35 mins we began to wonder why he hadn't spawned and then we moved away from the fire in his room, and then POP The Ishva Mal. We killed him quickly .... I dont think anyone took damage, it was so fast ... 10 lvl 50+ whacking on him .... LOL.
He dropped the brains, a FS weapon, and Summon corpse spell.
We set our timer.... 28 mins later he poped ( this time we were away from the fire) .. we killed again. Pretty much same loot as before.
We decided to wait once more...28 mins ..Pop .. Kill....WOOT! I got my Robe.
Moral:
1. The Ishva Mal or his Place Holder is on a 28 minute timer.
2. Do not hang out near the fire at the 28 minute mark... he wont spawn till you move.
3. 10 lvl 50+ people (1 of which was a 60 warrior w/epic) is overkill...LOL
Thank you Twisted Dreams for your great support.

After swimming through the secret passage, you will come to a landing. A Gnoll with a pet was there, did not aggro on group. But will killed him anyway. go through hall, there is a door to your right, an opening to your left and a door straight ahead. Go through the door that is straight ahead. There are two gnolls on each side of the door when you enter. The conned Light Blue to me at 50. The room that spawns the Ishva Mal is at the end of this area on the left. There will be two guards outside of the room. Both conned blue at 50. Inside this room is where the Ishva spawns. Once you kill the place holders inside, he spawns every 30 minutes. We were only here to get the spell for a Necromancer in my guild. We killed him twice:
------
Either my group got very lucky, or this spawn has changed. My group camped the Ishva mal last night, for about 3 or 4 hours. Got 4 Ishva's in that time, 3 brains, 3 summon corpse spells, and 4 robes. After reading these other posts, I'm thinking we got very lucky.
BTW, we had no deaths during the camp, with a 51 sk, 51 mage, 50 cleric and 36 cleric (me). However, i did drown once getting in there, because I got turned around in the water. Was my first time in Infected Paw. Luckily, we had our rez machine, and I got back the rest of my lost exp, on the first 2 guard kills.
-------
2001:
Hes 30 minute spawn, Dropped the Summon corpse spell 8/10 times, he always dropped his brain, one of his Guards dropped the Summon corpse spell and a Gnoll Hide lariat, and I think it was a Gnoll hide Tome (Not exactly Sure I'll have to ask Nerwin he looted). Anyway we were Trying to get a Robe (Got lucky last two drops hehe..) and hes a Necro, His PH Can be a Wizard,Mage, Or Enchanter. (Trust me I recognize that Fly back 12 feet spell from any wizard), Saw him summon a mage pet, and I saw him Charm a lvl 57 rogue (who about finished me off hehe..) but thats just my 2 cents. Hope this helps Happy Hunting!

This morning a 56 Mage friend and I camped her. We single pulled the guards in the outside room and then pulled the guard inside the room before taking out her PH. After breaking the spawns the guards far outside the room would pop every 30 minutes or so. We kept them cleaned up and took out Ishiva 2 times and her PH 6 times. (2 brains, 1 spell, 1 robe)
rHowever after 4 hours (8 spawns) the guards outside her room poped again along with 2 more inside! Almost at the same time!! When I would get 1 down to 1/2 bubble of life or so another would heal it 100% and I would get it down and it would heal again!! Soon a 5th guard joined and then she popped. 56 Mage made it with 18HP left. I died tried to cast FD or Gate...
I dont know if this is common or not, but be on the look out

Went to Infected Paw yesterday to get a Robe of the Ishva for my Rogue Epic. Group consisted in 58 Wizard, 56 Cleric, 52 Druid and myself, 50 Rogue. The Ishva Mal is a Necromancer that fears and DOTs, even though no time were left for it to DOT us since it died in seconds. The spawn time is exactly 30 minutes but it may be the placeholder instead (Ishva Guard). The first time, Ishva Mal dropped Summon Corpse and Ishva Brain. Second time it dropped Robe of the Ishva, Summon Corpse and Ishva Brain.
This leads me to think Ishva Mal drops the Robe rarely, the spell always, and the brains commonly since I heard some people had not gotten the brain sometimes.
-----
Group of us just took out this little beastie. Lvl 38 Warrior, lvl 40 Bard, lvl 52 Druid, lvl 40 Druid (myself). First time she dropped the Robe, herbs and Summon Corpse spell. About 30 mins later we killed her again, dropped Summon Corpse spell and preserved eye and herbs. Both times she conned white to me at lvl 40. She drops some nasty DoTs on us, but we had no casualties.

2000 :
He is NOT a 36 hour spawn. He's a 30 minute spawn with a place holder. Last night he spawned after 3 PH's, so 2 hours.
-----
No longer a 18,24,36 or whatever people think it used to be. It is now a 25 min spawn with PH. The PH is an Ishva Lteth Gnoll, which is like the Rosch class in that it can be any caster, ENC, MAG, WIZ, NEC. I have seen mostly MAG and a few NECs and ENCs but no WIZ yet. Also the Nisch Guards still spawn in there but I believe they are still on the old cycle because I saw them twice over a 2 day camp of the room. The room can be done solo by a 49+ NEC, I did it easily at 51 with a 53 dmg pet. Had about 5 Ishva spawns with 2 scrolls, no robe, and brains everytime. Looks to be one Ishva Mal for evey 4 Ishva Lteths. Good Luck.
-----
After about 10 mins the Mal spawned and they whacked him. Dropped only the brains, so they left.
I stayed around outside by the water. After about 45 minutes I checked his room again and the Mal was up with his pet. I summoned a 49 Pet and then STd the Mal and my Pet lit into his. ST wore off and the Mal returned so I feared him, he took off. After his Pet was down I moved into his room with mine and waited for him to come back. I resisted nearly all his spells and Lifetapped the hell out of him as Pet whacked him.
He dropped Word of the Spectre, Brains, the Summon Corpse Scroll....and the Robe !
----
Yes its true...he can drop the spell and the robe...we went in his lair after pulling his PH and in the next hour a second PH spawned and then The Ishva Mal spawned and had both items and brains...hes a 30 min spawn and is blue to level 52.
----
that robe isn't worth 40k. And he's not a 36 hour spawn. Where do people get this information from?
----
May 03 2000 at 12:23 PM
We killed him three times last night and he was blue to me at level 42. He has a LOT of hit points but with three tanks and chain stuns, we took him down pretty easily. We did get 2 of the Necro spells and three brains but no robe.
*******
Any chance we could get this fixed ?
It's crazy that the poor necros on this server don't have their low lev summon corps spells due to a faulty spawn timer.
