Hill Giants

[RKromwell]

All I remember is that it was worth it to destroy your copper and silver in order to stay out there longer before you had to make a bank run.

[Lill-Leif]

Hmm I dont remember HG:s dropping 100s of silver/copper..

[Brut]

I remember destroying the shitloads of silver and copper, but then again I wasn't in the lvls to kill HGs until like around luclin.

The treants on this server weren't droppin alot of gold or silver either, they had to fix them, i didn't destroy i ran to the vendors when i sold and bought rubies to take the weight off then sold them back later.

i am fairly certain, that there are 5 hillgiant spawns that are independent of the lower level trash. Have never seen more than 5 up at anyone time on track. There is also Broog who is on his own deal, and Tarskuk who can sometimes be a normal cyclops, but still static/not pathing.

5 seems correct for giants being independant of trash spawns.
Broog does spawn on the hill but Tarskuk is spose to be a roamer that spawns over by the lake rathe zone

Wonder if that spell works on the HG's too, lol....
hmmm

If you can charm it you can buff it. I used to charm/buff mobs semi regular on SZ. Not sure about items (without charm) on this server, have yet to test that (and can't recall when it was changed, but you could give see invisi items to critters -someone on my server snuck to Cazic Thule and gave it a self dispel sword.)

Some of these things are likely against the rules here and for good reason.

I'm guessing there is currently a high level rogue in the zone, I have never received that little off a giant in Rathe, Cyclops maybe.




I have heard conflicting stores. A few claim that the stuff that paths on the hill are all possible PHs for giants (ie: basilisks and lizards).
I've also heard that this is complete BS. Since I never stick around if there is more than 2 people already hunting them I have never bothered to clear the other mobs up there to see what happens.

I never bother looking for PHs. I hang out in rathe a whole lot and while it's usually crowded there have been quite a few occasions where I was there alone or nearly alone. Regardless of who was there, whether I was alone or not, or what we were doing there seemed to be about 6 HGs available total.

I was especially sensitive to this as a druid looking to quad kite...along with of course having track to see just what's up and what isn't.

This is the region around giant hill anyway. There may be an extra straggler or two tucked away occasionally that I missed...but the amount of giants available was always quite consistent.

5 Giants, one of which can be Broog Bloodbeard, is indeed the way it works here. On live, if you killed bassies and lizards on the hill, you could spawn extra giants. That is not the case on P99.
