Bilge Farfathom

[Daldaen]

Incase anyone is wondering how this spawn works. Stop now if you don't want to know some of how it works.

The Fight:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


He is a level 35 shaman. Has roughly 700-750 health. Summons a level 20-30~ wolf pet that has about 1200~ health.

Casts most shaman spells, blind, ice nuke, heal, poison/disease DoTs, and SoW + normal buffs.

One Starfire gets him to run, One root finishes him.

Spawns:
Spawn point 1, up in the hills, ALWAYS a aqua goblin shaman PHer
Spawn point 2, underwater just south of Fantastic 4 spawn point, goblin PHer
Spawn point 3, north side of island on the slant, goblin PHer
Spawn point 4, ~unsure~ but in the hills around that region


Camping Style/Methods: Got 3 possible options for camping him.

1. Clear PHers. This is one of the most futile of all the methods. You will spawn him this way, but you are in better luck to camp an actual loot camp in a dungeon than the try this way if you're purely after cash.
2. AFK / Tracking. Find something to do, another game, read a book, study, do some work and check track every 5-10minutes for him. Few places you can stand for this, on center island is about the best of them. This is probably the best method if you have the time available.
3. AFK / Audio Trigger. Basically this is the one I do. AFK at the Fantastic 4 camp. Make an audio trigger such as "Bilge Farfathom". Mine is a tad more intricate so people don't fuck with me. You'll want to be just doing option 2 except you need to check less often and if he comes up to attack you, the game will make a noise and tell you so you can kill him.

For options 2 and 3 an alternative program is GamText Triggers. I asked Rogean himself about half a year back if it was approve and acceptable to use, and he said it was. Basically how it functions is you have to have /log on before you use it. The program reads from your log file (while EQ writes to it simultaneously). When it comes across key words or phrases it'll overlay a text that you set. It's the 1st Download button under "GamTextTriggers v1.0.0"

Here is a quick read of how it functions / how to use it.

Drop Rates:
Drop rate on PKT is about... 1/5 since the fix. He can spawn 2 or 3 times in an hour or not at all for 12 hours (unless someone beat me to the spawn each time). I find 0 evidence that supports he is on a timed spawn and Dwigus' spawn is irrelevant also.

Good luck! I may stop by at the camp when bored/AFK, but I figured I would share my 'knowledge' to any druids curious and after his two drops.
