Taking your camp now Sabbra, thanks :P

This is working as intended. Gynok was always a SOB to camp.

So I have done this quest several times on live, but not in many years like most of us who play here. I do remember the extremely long Gynok camps though, so I told myself I wouldn't do it here. But today, seeing as how I couldn't find a group, I thought I might as well camp Gynok for a little and maybe I'll get lucky. Awesome thing is I did. After two hours he spawned and dropped the plat and gold ring. Odd thing I did notice is that no PHs spawned at all. Just 2 hours of sitting there and eventually he spawned.

The trouble I am having is with Vin Moltor. I never remember having to actually camp him. Maybe kill PHs once and he would spawn. I told myself that maybe it was because people more often killed the PHs and that's why he was usually up. So I decided to sit it out. Well it has been 4 hours and I am still sitting it out. I have been killing all wandering mobs, in case of being PHs. The worst thing of all is close to 2 hours he did spawn, but he didn't drop the container. As far as I knew it was a 100% drop. Never happened to me before, nor have I heard of it happening before.

I now people on the server have the paw, so I'm just wondering what the deal is with Vin. Is this a normal camp or is something messed up? A camp this long and longer was expected with Gynok but not with Vin.

It's weird that there weren't any PH's with gynok... I did have to camp vin but only for maybe an hour. Spawned twice, dropped nothing the first time and dropped the container the second time.

Zoned into QSewers last night and saw Vin on track. Had my Rat Ear pie and kalish in hand and as I'm getting near him, I see "you have lost your target". I come around the corner to see Gandolf (or something like that) standing over his corpse. I shake my fists furriously at him as he zones out and then go off and do something else.

This morning I log on with about 20 minutes to spare so I check again, and sure enough Vin is there. I hand him the pie and booze and he hands me the paw case. We have a few laughs and I'm on my way with a new Paw.

Guess my mele-druid days are done until the epic.

Thought about giving him the pie and beer to get the paw container, but I logged on today and he was up. Seeing as how I camped him for 5 hours and I had no pie and beer, I killed him. Made me feel great, even better that he dropped the container.
