Getting your own Goblin Gazughi Ring

[Isey]

As a new, level 30 Enchanter character on p1999 I really wanted this ring, but obvi do not have 5k-6k plat lying around.

So I decided to grind one out myself. There is a great guide on it but not much "guidance" on real world, current play status on it. So here goes.

I spent 3 days there just playing. At level 30, I can handle a single spawn point for a Courier no problem. There are adds and I do get jumped but at level 30 its more an annoyance. After three days I *wished* I had tracked number of spawns, time, etc. So on day 4 I started doing that.

First off, I was always - always able to get a spawn point. Not once did I have to wait in line for one or anything like that.

Here are my day 4 numbers.

24 kills, 1 SC, 26:37 time
29 kills, 1 SC, 35:39 time
3 kills, 1 SC, 2:15 time
4 kills, 1 SC, 3:35 time
37 kills, 1 SC, 42:26 time
61 kills, 1 SC, 40:48 time (was duoing with a friend)
43 kills, 1 SC, 41:20 time
17 kills, 1 SC 18:40 time
25 kills, 1 SC 29:05 time
23 kills, 1 SC 23:49 time (RING DROP!)

So on day 4/5, totals were:

10/266 (one SC for every 26 spawn point kills average)
4.5 hours

The other days were similar, for so for me was an 18 hour time spent. I know many people are far more lucky, but it was my grind, and I owned it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bravo to you for getting your own ring! Get out there and charm. With that thing you can rip up sol a right now for massive XPs.

Congratulations on earning a really key class item for yourself!

Great info. Two questions:

1. Can you please link the guide you referenced in the original post?
2. Were you sitting at a single spawn point while camping it?

Thanks!

Doing this currently.

Two days in, total time is about 10 hours. All at duel spawn. 46 SC kills. 2 of those were random roamers. 1 got instantly tagged by a soothsayer and corpse proofed.
No ring yet. Really burning me out. 10 hours of killing two mobs every 30 seconds.

do you round up the PHs before you start camping SC, or is that not necessary?

Grats it's always awesome to be able to pluck your own items off the corpses of your foes instead of tunneling them. Getting a FBSS back in the day if you were a melee or a manastone if you were a cleric/druid were some of the most memorable experiences for people.

Nah, I'm on a 47 Necro (Was 48, but was randomly killed and deleved by an epic DE named Deep that I guess spawned with an epic quest? No idea, she ran up and instantly killed me while I was killing PHs)

When I show up to the camp I kill mobs with the PH names in the area and keep looking at the spawn points to see if I killed the correct one. Sooner or later I do and then do the camp.

Statistically speaking you might be about half way there in terms of expected number of kills... of course, that's a flawed way to look at it; all the kills that failed to produce a ggr don't really count towards anything.
