Lord Gimblox Cleric epic spawn WAY to long

Lord Gimblox in Sol Eye for cleric epic drop ring, is WAY too long/rare spawn.

This is absurd, people are waiting 8hrs+ for this one spawn to drop the ring we need.
Only comes from him, no random loot, every pic is camped with lines 2 and 3 groups deep and the only people in Sol Eye are camping this drop and nothing else, zone is dead otherwise.

This is a HUGE bottleneck for Clerics on Teek.
I got my 4 pearlescent shards in 1 night (4hrs) of camping Skyfire, even though I had to buy loot rights on 3 of them!

DBG you need to increase this spawn rate, or add it to the random loot tables asap.
This is not cool, you want people to be able to experience their epics, yet this drop is almost ungettable.

Please fix this.

while you're at it... get them to change the Lich of Miragul in everfrost for pallies.. that 24+ hour respawn is ROUGH

We suffered through this on mischief too. Wait until a level 60 SK harm touches it when it finally does pop, then offers to sell it to you for 10 krono.

I feel your pain and agree.

We deserve better.
Some epics and pieces are stupid easy to get, why make some this long/hard?
Defeats the spirit of TLP giving folks chance to relive things they may not have been able to originally.

Yea that would suck.

It would be a real bad time if that happened.
My guild is massive and that guy would never be able to play or kill anything ever again, EQ career would be over, for that character at least.

The camp has improved since Mischief since Gimblox was recently rare tagged. By how much, no idea. But 8+ hours without a Gimblox is extremely unlucky. I spent about 3.5 hours there total, and based on the people I talked to, my camp was on the longer side.

It's still a bottleneck but I wouldn't call it huge. I think one issue is the multiple PH's in the spawn table? That seems to lower the odds of a rare spawning versus its PH's, but not sure if that's true.

I'm now 4.1/2 hours into my camp,. i got the camp after 1 hour so ive been here 3.5 hours now, nothing.
Many others I've talked to have gone 6+ 8+ hours with no spawn.

Its dumb and a waste of people's time for a simple drop when all the other drops are way way faster to get in a realistic amount of time.

Should be more like 1 per hour minimum, or add it to the random tables like they did with 99% of the rest of epics.

This just sucks as is, same with sk epic, and paly epic.

On Teek, 7hrs here still no Lord Gimblox yet he spawned back to back in another pic for a guildy.

So much hate.

Just wait until there are less Sol A picks. Then it really gets fun. An epic is an epic though, it should take some time to get at least some of the pieces. And as you said, the rest of it is so easy on free trade servers.

Now I say that things such as epics should take time, and last night I found myself sitting in Steamfont with my rogue (and three other rogues) hoping for a Yendar to pop.

If we didn't have some of these time sinks, we would be complaining about lack of content even more. Realize that we still have a full month until Velious. It seems like forever. The population will dwindle over the coming weeks before it picks back up again. Everyone has time to finish their epics that wants them.

Can Gimblox's ring still be multi quested? If not I don't see the value as if nobody buys it, it sits there and the corpse opens up.

No

While I understand your frustration, Ill never understand peoples tendencies to just blatantly exaggerate when trying to make a point. Most of the people inside sol a are, in fact, being power leveled or doing the power levels. Thats why we have multiple picks all day to alleviate some of the BS from this

Its just a simple fact that epics bottleneck harder with higher population servers. This is affecting every bottleneck in every epic.

Teek, being the highest population server is seeing the biggest problem with them. I had the same issue when I did the necro skullcap quest.

Any of these narrow gated time sinks are a huge problem. You have more people wanting to do them, more competition to do them, and more people redoing them or doing them to sell to people.

I think the developers should implement the ingenious Lord Bergurgle solution and have a small chance of dropping this signet ring on a random fire goblin in the dungeon. Along with that, the other recent Lord Bergurgle solution that shall not be named would help as well.

We literally had non-clerics on Mischief back in the day sitting on the camp 24/7 and harm touching just to sell loot rights, they would literally loot and destroy it in front of everyone if nobody was willing to buy it.

Our guild had to get SK's to come down and sit on the camp just to help our clerics get it. That's how greedy people get with free trade RMT.

Theres a mage in Rampage Unleased who AFK farms gimblox very often. He sells the loot rights.

I know hes afk farming because when I brought my monks to contest him, his pet would kill every PH, while he wouldnt do a single point of damage to Gimblox (since I would aggro Gimblox before he hit the mage, causing his pet to not do a thing).

Pretty simple fix, just have the ring with a chance to drop from any goblin in the zone like the changes to Lord Bergurgle.

There are other class epics that are far harder to get (nigh on impossible with competition), so until they fix those to make them as trivial as the cleric epic is, I don't see why they should reduce the cleric epic's difficulty even more than they just did.

I guess you never played the original. The level of training and ksing on tlp? Thats absolutely what the original was like. Well, sans the 12 SKs permacamped to harmtouch something.

I was just discussing with my brother how we got very lucky getting all of our pearls and two crowns for our clerics and how the rest should be pretty easy once we get high enough to try to actively do the “bigger” fights like rage and Ixi.

Then he pointed out how Gimblox has been a crapshow since like week one of launch.

I stop by every so often, best case there’s a cleric and dps support there. Worse case there’s a two contesting small raids with SK’s and elite dps waiting to see who has the fastest script in the West.

Already planning to not even actively try until Velious at this point, unless I decide to try to cheese it by power leveling a Shadowknight up to 60 just for the HT.
