Currently the angry goblin seems to be on a 72h +0 to 7h timer where as I believe it should be 72h +/- 7h.

He's on a 3 day +/- 10% spawn timer. So if you see him, don't touch him!

He's indifferent to all

More evidence:

This item/quest is becoming increasingly popular for a lot of classes. Unfortunately, the bottle neck isn't the billion goblins you have to kill to get ally faction - it's the spawn time of the Angry Goblin (3 days +/-10% or so). He seems to die moments after server reset, and I've heard of people leapfrogging others, who were clearing their way down, to get to him. This sort of quest brings out the worst in people, unfortunately, and it's going to create a lot of friction in the future as more players decide they want this ring and the spirit wracked cords.

There is a trend I noticed when cross referencing raid mob loots on old forums and such. Where one would expect to find less than seven day spawns there were only ever 7 or 8 day timers. Perhaps someone else noticed this pattern but who knows. Even on stuff like Hadden I don't ever recall seeing someone mention him respawning before his hours were up was always x minutes after I expected him to spawn.

Honestly, there's not much evidence and who knows if he even had any variance at all (those players often wrong on the forums). If you've ever been to the angry goblin camp, it's bad...staring at a wall for 7 hours...please if any GM/Guide is reading this, have mercy on us all and just give it no variance.
