Okay found out the current version of Gnoll Shaman is too high at level 11. Going forward it will be a level 7 version and will be much weaker. This should make it less dangerous.



As far as when the patrol was added general:

I'm going to continue to look for the earlier mentions of a patrolling mob on the top floor before May 2000 before considering the change.

I don't know why they would add a gnoll shaman along with the other placeholders after the initial addition considering there was already a plague rat, grizzly bear, and not to mention Tranixx Darkpaw that was higher level. So my guess is all of the placeholders were added at once. Let's narrow down when that was.

for Trannix to spawn, you have to kill 3 things, not 2. first you must take down the grizzly bear, no sweat. then you must defeat the plague rat, easy. THEN you have to kill the gnoll shaman that walks around the top of the zone. He WILL NOT spawn until the shaman has been killed, trust me, ive spent long hours in BB with many of my chars

Trannix will spawn if you continually kill anything that 'roams' around in the zone to zone area upstairs
Note: zone to zone= QH to everfrost
if it walks around up there, it's one of the 7 PH's that he has..

I used to use the little cubby behind the tree trap to rest figuring it is safer than the zone area due to trains i was wrong, I have seen everything from a Gnoll Pup to a burly Gnoll spawn in here and have killed them all, it does however 95% of the time seem that when you kill one of the gnolls that pop here the grizzlyt will pop next, kill the grizzly then the giant plague rat pops kill it then trannix pops, he hits hard and fast barely took him down solo with a 17 at the time SK and i used harm touch it took about a 3rd of his life! 171 points being about a 3rd i would guess he has around 500 hit points! (Note: the giant plague rat and Grizzly may be reversed it has been awhile)

You have to kill the giant plague rat (I've heard) to get him to spawn.

Tranixx spawns at the wheelbarrow in the cave to the left as you're coming out of the QH zone entrance. His placeholders include bears (brown or grizzly), the giant plague rat, and pretty much any gnoll from scrawny through guardsman.

One easy way to tell if a placeholder is wondering around is that this is the only spawn that wanders in and out of the cave and the QH zone area. He just keeps circling the top level until an attack (his or yours ;-). He's the toughest gnoll in the zone aside from the gnoll high shaman (who may be lower level than Tranixx, but deals out more damage).

I've killed Tranixx a few times, and never looted anything interesting, though it is satisfying to shut him up. :-)
