the Caduceus(sp?) thing: shortest camp time ever :)?

[Nanite]

<div>So I had heard of this caducethingy, and decided I better get me one. I blunder into living tombs, run right into whats his face that drops it and his two flunkies, barely get my pet buffs on in time, and whamo metal chest, anybody care to guess what was in it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />? Total camp time: maybe 30 seconds.... Do I get to be in Moorguards book of game records now <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />?</div><div> </div><div>Seriously, couldn't believe it when I opened that metal chest.... there was much whooping and hollering <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. I had heard horror stories of 4 day long camps with nothing to show for it, and I wander in there and get it first thing.....</div>

[Tuneee]

<div></div>I also camped for this several weeks ago. Guess what ? Droped 2 times in 60 minutes, i think it's just luck

[supersupervisor]

<div>2 in 60 minuts :smileymad: its Lore - why do you search on when u have 1 allready?</div><div> </div><div>btw - gratz on the cadadamnthing</div>

[Magu]

Maybe he had another summoner with him?<div></div>

[Sanamien]

15 hours and nothing <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />and then a guildie accidentially loots it while I was online because he hit loot instead of closing the window :/<p>Message Edited by Sanamien on <span class="date_text">01-31-2006</span><span class="time_text">11:37 AM</span></p>

<div></div>3 spawns and I got the metal chest... and I started immediately after another Conjuror gave up for the night <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Loral]

<div>We killed the spawn while waiting for a group member to join us, it dropped the Master chest. Called on a Guildie Conjuror, he looted it. Camp time: 0sec for him... :smileywink:</div>

[SnowKnight]

<div></div>I found the hardest part was not getting the staff to drop, but getting that guy to spawn. 3 Spawns (of the named) and 2 hours later though I had my staff.

[Petgroup]

<div></div>I zoned into Living Tombs, jumped down the side and the dude attacked me, killed him, got metal, said omg (this is before anyone knew about the staff), saw some No TRADE staff in chest, said [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] is a quest item doing in a metal chest, few curse words towards SoE,looted it, examined it and then stared at the screen in disbelief for 20 minutes.Whoever is in charge of items now should get their salary doulbled if not tripled for what they are doing. I hope they are in charge of KoS because it will be a slam dunk success if they are.<div></div>

You'd probably be wishing you were double jointed so you could kick yourself if you just deleted it.....

[BRslay]

I was trying to get this for two conj and myself (necro) and one of the Conj could never get it. He would camp the spot for several hours with us, then when he logged we got is like 20 minute s later. I got it several times and was like "log on! log on!". He eventually got it but like 5 days after me and the other Conj.~Ciphanic V'Rein, Destoryer of Conjurors<p>Message Edited by BRslayer on <span class="date_text">02-02-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:38 PM</span></p>

[Suraklin]

<div>I've had this thing drop like 3 times a day in LT as of late. Took me 6 days 8 hours a day to get the first drop for myself. I've made I've made about 20 Summoners very happy by sending random tells to Summoners in the area saying they can loot it once the restrictions were lifted.</div>

[Mithious]

Fairly short camp it seems, got mine in 30 minutes.<div></div>

[Merciful_Shadow]

Got mine in about an hour<div></div>

[Gorhauth]

<div></div>A guildie got mine, only thing I had to do was zone in.  I've tried getting one for a friend - we've spent over 20 hours there and it hasn't dropped yet.  Not really surprising considering my luck on drops though <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Lacandor]

<div></div>Didn't take long at all for me. Maybe 15 minutes. I've run the cycle maybe 20 times, gotten him 8ish times, gotten metal chest 4 times, always had staff in it.Ran the cycle hoping for spells and to equip the rest of the summoners in guild.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Lacandor on <span class="date_text">02-09-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:23 PM</span></p>

[scooc]

<div></div>PLS who is the named and  what are the PHs

[Shardrael]

<div></div>trade commisioner aman lvl 51 ^ with two 51 trade enforcers double down cons, he spawns in the beginning of livint tombs right when you drop down to the pool from the entrance, kill the 5 groups of stationary zombies in the courtyard and either he and his buddies will spawn or just two regular trade enforcers lvl 51 will spawn, real easy to do

[Timzil]

Is this still in the game? I've killed the trigger mobs repeatedly, and am not seeing anything spawn. No PH, no name, no nothing. Does the name/PH wander somewhere and get stuck? If so, any idea where? I'm on a PvP server; maybe we don't get it...

[Luhai]

did spawn on Valor yesterday (with LU 22 on it)we killed the mummy groups in front of the building and the trade comissionier immediately spawned.Too bad, he was grey for us. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Half an hour later he was still running around the place.

[Lantis]

Months ago, me and three friends were in Living Tombs, killing random stuff just for the learning experience.  Then suddenly this Trade Commissioner shows up.  Since we always like killing stuff with a proper name on it (so we know what to put on their tombstone), we proceed to kill it.  Chest drops, we open it...  The group conjuror's mouth (mine to be more accurate) drops.I didn't even know that thing even existed until that moment <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[ZlataMoonstruck]

about 1 hour of camping I got the staff today on Nagefen.  Very Easy to get at level 55.  Worst part was fending off the vile Freeport. <div></div>

[XtremSummo]

Got mine in about 5 hours of camping I think. Seems to be about average.

[sprogn]

Sounds great, now anyone want to show us lower levels what this is??? <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Purg]

<DIV>i waited 2 minutes, as it was rotting in a chest and some one called out in lv 50 chat</DIV>

[jthu]

Has anyone seen this guy pop lately? I have tried to camp this guy on and off for the past week, both early in the morning and in the afternoon after work.   I haven't even been able to get the PH to spawn.  I killed all the 5 zombie groups around that area and no named or PH.  I saw a thread about this a while ago but they said it was fixed. Anyone else having these problems? <div></div>

[Melianteas]

I got lucky too and it was drop in the first spawn, but latter on helping a Necromancer friend it took more than 3 hours to get his staff.

[Tro]

<DIV>JTHunt, just to confirm, you were killing the 5 sets of mummies (Two sets infront of the two trees, two sets behind the two trees between the trees and the center structure, and the one set in between the two trees just at the base of the stairs of the center structure) correct?</DIV><p>Message Edited by Trook on <span class=date_text>05-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:16 AM</span>

[Bithnar]

I tried this a couple of times this weekend and I never saw the group of mummies spawn period and I was the only one in the area.  Waited about 30mins and no mummies.

[jthu]

<div></div><div></div>Yes...   The 5 sets on mummies.   The 2 set to the left and right behind the trees, the 2 sets in front.  Plus the one in the center.  They spawn as merchants, herbalists, and one other type.  Am I in the right place?   Not a single PH or named spawn after killing them. <div></div><p>Message Edited by jthunt on <span class=date_text>05-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:48 AM</span>

[jthu]

Ok...  Yesterday, the spawn was working correctly.  If the mummies spawn at different times and not all at once, the spawn is broken.  Don't waste your time. Between yesterday and this morning before work, I got maybe 5 or 6 named spawns.   Only 1 master chest but I got a Bruiser master.  BLAH! I'm not sure if this is even worth the camp. <div></div>

[Loral]

Unless you have your Prismatic or Godking weapon, it is about the best and easily-obtainable item you can get pre-KoS. And the effect is invaluable for soloers... Also, very fun to cast while the pet is under Planar Shift.

[jthu]

I just hate camping stuff.   In EQ1, I camped the Ancient Cyclops spawn in Ocean of Tears for 48 hrs straight (Yeah, yeah.. I had no life back then.) with my necro and didn't get a single pop.   For those of you that don’t know, this was for Jboots. After that, I quit the game.   Anything that requires that much of a time commitment and you still do not get the drop you want, isn’t worth playing. I just hope this camp doesn’t turn into another AC camp for me. <div></div>

[jthu]

<div></div><div></div>And tonight... spawn broken again...  fun.. fun... EDIT: Spawn broken again this morning. <div></div><p>Last EDIT: I finally got it last night so it still drops.  I started camping it at the beginning of the week.  I spent probably 3 to 7 hrs each day.  I guess I am just one of the unlucky ones.  Almost got a full level killing greens...    Thats bad.<span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by jthunt on <span class=date_text>05-12-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:03 AM</span>
