    Description: underwater swimming mobs including goblins and sharks sometimes spawn inside the mountainous geometry and get stuck out of reach of combat, preventing players from killing them. Which is especially problematic if they are rare mobs or potential placeholders for rare mobs. I can't even reach this one with a pet.

    Yeah, that was a pain. I brought in a pet class and had them use f8 (I think) to target and then sick the pet on it. Then it popped out into the world and I could kill it.

    In some cases a pet works, but in the two cases I posted above, even my pet could not reach them despite the mobs being close to me. So those two mobs are probably stuck permanently until the next zone/server reset.

    And this will keep happening unless EQ decides to address the bug.

    You can also try a directed ae such as bard vainglorious shout. I know it goes through walls. I couldnt tell you what other classes do. Maybe beams?

    On Rizlona, there are currently 5 mobs stuck in the geometry of one of the satellite islands North of Maidens Grave... these are all potential placeholders for Golden Ghost. Considering there are 7-8 PHs at best up there, this issue is causing obtaining the Hunter Achievement a very cumbersome process.
