Lord Grimrot (Undead)
 

Why the flying hell is it on a 3h12m respawn with a bare 2% chance of spawning.
I've been at this for over 10 days ever since a guildy of mine got his (took him a mere 8 days).

This is not a bloody Manastone camp.
It's not a Guise either.
Hell, this item won't be removed at all.

Yes, I'm raging mad at this nonsense. Just why.
Is the other content not painful enough as it is?

Even the fishbone earring being a 6h spawn is not even half as bad as this.
So just FUCKING why.

Totally get your frustration as that camp is straight up cancersauce...

But it's like that because it's classic and p99 is all about trying to emulate 1999 as much as possible (for the most part)

I spent a week, 8-12 hrs a day doing this years ago.

Results: 5 yes 5 Undead Grimrots.

Thankfully they were looted but it took me giving up and a friend spotting live Grimrot sitting up years later to finish this.

Whats typical is whichever Grimrot appears first is the one you become cursed with.

Pray its the live one as he cannot spawn at night but the undead can spawn during night AND day.

I've had 5 or 6 Live Grimrot spawns.
As it stands right now, I get all spawns every day almost.
Some days, I sleep through one of them because seriously, I won't get sick over this flawed game design.

Still though, I don't understand why it has to be so cancerous.
I wouldn't want it to be too easy either. 4-5 Days to me seems a pretty fair time investment. But as it stands right now, it's insane.

My guildy who successfully did this after 8 days, pretty much slept in between the 3hours 12m window and he too was about to give up considering the time he had spent not missing a single spawn.

Be it classical or not, I don't see why this camp is this bad. Remove the PH? I'd be okay with that. Leave it as it stands with the 3h12m, whatever. Make it hard. But remove the PH. More people would have the Live version of it, it'd still be challenging to get the Undead.

It's not like it's game breaking to make a big deal out of it if there was such change.
But hell, for the future players at the very least, it'd be nice if they too could get it.

Its quite an amazing item for a mid 30ies quest.

Like I said took me a couple years to complete after giving up, it’s not suppose to be easy.

Barely anyone does it in their 30s.

I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of lunatics who don't seem to understand the difference of time spent between a Manastone and this.

I pulled my normal group together at work when he spawned, in 2000. Looking forward to it this time, not. :)

you can say that again lol

I was camping it on my 35 Paly and when he spawned- I wiped.

Def should be lvl 40 to solo kill Grimot.

Live Grimrot is no joke and I understand.
It's good to have it that way. Make it challenging and I'm all about it.

Again, it comes down to how rare it is.
I don't mind the 3h12m respawn. Really, I don't.

But something about the PH or % needs to change...
Taking years or months or weeks over something that not a lot of people actually know about is just straight mental.

Yeah I got live Grimrot and have pretty much given up all hope. There comes a time when it's just not worth it. And I advise that no one should ever do this quest consider your own health both mental and physical.
