Raster of Guk - debunking exaggerated claims

[Jotei]

I had heard tell of Brother Raster's elusive nature from peers at the Ashen Hand. The information sat in my stomach like oily pumice stone in ice water. I'd heard it rumored that he frequented (infrequently) the ruins of Old Gukta and had elected to explore the moldering caverns before the Innothule floodwaters prohibited such a delve. My mentor, Grandmaster Xltx was kind enough to show me the way and it so happened that the fates smiled upon me a second time that night.

Brother Raster, the Raster of Guk awaited my arrival. We set upon me the moment I presented myself while Grandmaster Xltx dealt with a few disagreeable minotaurs. The trial was swift and sweet and when we had finalized I relieved Brother Raster of The Idol sought by Brother Zephyl, the Hermit of Her.

I farmed raster.... Turn it in to brother in rathe along with red sash and it ate it. Was lvl 44. So be careful anyone who turns it in

Since the epic change it might have flagged him to a 46 Reg to do it.

Seems a little mean to let the NPC eat it instead of giving them back... but I have the feeling that hailing the NPC would have resulted in a clue that something is amiss.

I have ran by a few times and seen him up randomly in lguk, never tried to camp in on p99 though. One time I did kill him, and ended up going to get targin to spawn in ~3 ph's and made another robe oldschool way instead of killing bro Z or Q, was fun stuff. On live I think i spent like 20hours, then 11 hours, then another 10 hours across 3 days to get him.

He spawned after a 28hours rl camp. The problem is I got killed by a chanter before I got The kill. #lifeOnRed

I went to Raster camp at lvl 44 (solo) and after 3 separate 3 hour sessions i finally got him. I then made my way over to King camp in SolB with a group and was able to get 2 Targin pops in 3-4 hours (other monk won the first roll). I was 46 by the time I did the turn-ins.

Note - Bro Z can be a pain to spawn.... killed PH's for like 3 hours with nothing and gave up and went to bed. Logged in this morning and he was already up so I did my turn in.

Keep in mind it's also entirely possible the spawn rate is different on P99 just like many other things.

[jpetrick]

Fuck that camp. I'll help you kill Bro Z if you spawn him. Send me a tell on Elzhi.

I had a real similar experience, a friend camped raster for 9 hours, then a group after him got a spawn like half hour later, then I step in and get 2 hours later.

In contrast, I spent 3 days in rathe killing bro z place holders (granted, like 3-4 hours each day only). I gained a level from killing hill giants (level 50... Before the HG buff patch) before he pooped.
