Gynok

[Joebrew]

I can vouch for Zhao, was in befallen the last few days and seen him there constantly, Oh yeah and thanks for helping me get my corpse from the third floor Zhao lol.

Sincerely Spike

Let it be known that Gynok spawned and dropped a plat ring.

[Wenai]

Lol. Guys. He works fine.

I have camped him three times, it is all about getting lucky.

I camped him just the other day for over 9 hours straight. Guess what... I didn't get the ring. I am in the same boat as you guys. I need a ring and I can't get it. The spawn is rare, as it should be.

Vouching for Insidious and also Josh, saw even Gauktalos(sp?) not sure if he got one. I also camped it for quite some time.

I do know it dropped before, when I was level 12 a high level killed him and left the corpse, I looted the ring not knowing it's preciousness and sold it to a vendor!! Now just like the one ring it's calling me back...

OUCH!

The spawnrate on this sob is still majorly screwed up. Theres no way this can be right. When I camped him originally he was spawning all the time, now people have to spend a week there just to get him to pop.

If anything the spawn rate at first was messed up. Gynok was always rare on live.

The spawn rate for a LOT of nameds was messed up at launch. I heard of people seeing Rahotep multiple times a day (this for a mob that was rummored to spawn once an EQ year).

In classic, it was pretty common knowledge (as far as I recall) that he popped about 1 in 12 times (ghoul ph at bottom of stairs?). It sounds like it's more like 1 in 50 or more atm. (Plat) ring dropped 25-50% or so?

Just my 2 cents. I have not camped this sucka yet.

[JohnPublic]

From doing it a few times myself and also hanging out with Josh while he camped it I have a theory on the spawn. It seems to me that this iteration is much more likely to spawn if the ph is allowed to naturally de-pop rather than killing him right away. All three times that I have seen Gynok on the server it was from zoning in and him already standing there with 0 people in zone.

Just my two copper.

P.S. On live it was completely common to camp him for 20+ hours before getting the ring.
