Glowing Black Stone  

 

Looks like the Glowing Black Stone is the item required to complete the quest described as "APPQuestJohnC"
The "APP" prefix means it was created by a design apprentice who was tinkering with the tools and learning the game. This isn't a quest that can actually be completed. Years later, when QUEST flags were applied to items APPQuestJohnC was picked up in the query and the GBS was flagged as a quest item. I don't know who JohnC is. The quest was created on 2/26/2000 so this predates me by over 2 years.

Hope this helps solve the mystery!

I m going to try to get thiss for my mage! 9 int is crazy for this low newbie mob!!! I wounder how much this goes for on the zeb bazaar?

I sat in the Hills for four nights. She spawned the second night with nothing but a dagger on her. I do remember that around ten o clock that night there wasn't anything to kill. She walked up from the SW part of zone. Later on the fourth night, she spawned once at ten o clock EQ time with that stupid dagger again and again at 4 am with necro blood. I am very disappointed and would have liked the stone. Oh well. Better luck next time. I do believe that killing rats will help her spawn. I forgot on the fourth night, all of a sudden there were tons of rats around. Killed them and there she was. In the middle of the ruins.

i was in qh and im a sk 54 i go to ruins ti get pyzjn to pop i kill all mobs around that i see then with the sense the dead spell kill all dead around then befor im done i get her pet on track everytime no matter what time of day i got her location she pops at also its 4254.65 -446.51 over the hill from ruins she walks over to the ruins i poped her 4 times in a row with this method got gbs 1 time hope this helps.

Was funny. I have a 24 druid camped in Qeynos hills for tracking purposes... and to kill Pyzjn if she is up... well... I logged on this morning and it was 5pm game time. I start killing things I think are her ph and get some nice spawns (mangy rats and grey wolves near ruins and a grizzly at ruins). a little bit into 7pm i pop the grizzly and any other beast that is on a path to the ruins.. and pop pop. 2 pyzjns on track. lol. was great. i track one and kill it. hit track to get the next and pop... a THIRD Pyzjn is up. haha. on my track is 2 Pyzjn's and 3 pets...
I took a ss when there were 2 then another when i saw the third. None dropped the stone, but that would make an old world caster sick to have seen so many after they camped this chick forever for one.

So, she has at least 3 placeholders I would say.

OK, here goes...
My method was a simple one (right or wrong, I don't buy into the "kill the PH at a specific time" theories). As a matter of fact, I've seen three PH's stacked right on top of one another at the ruins at the same time...two rats and a bear! SO, I just kill 'em all! Everything at the ruins, center stage or not, must die, constantly. As nightime rolls around (she DOES only spawn at night...that much is true), continue to kill everything. Watch the hill in front of the ruins (to the left of the Millers as you look away from the ruins toward SFG), she'll show up soon enough...RANDOMLY.
A little "debunking" is in order...there is no timer that I can see...I had her spawn three times in one night, within 10 minutes...three little gnome corpses all lined up in a row. Other nights, just one or two appearances...but certainly no "4 hour EQ timer" or somesuch.
The night I got the stone, I logged into EQ at 2AM EQ time...immediately cleared the ruins (including a bear at center stage that must have been there since daytime (never seen bears running around the area at night), ran around like a fool for no more than two minutes, and here she comes over the aforementioned hill! Intercepted her halfway down, even before she summoned her pet, and boom...a GBS. Simple as that. Note, I didn't clear the PH at 4:01 or any other nonsense such as that...just killed everything in sight on a consistant basis (out of boredom if nothing else!)

Okay, I have no advice on how to make her spawn, but I'll tell you what I saw over my husband's shoulder as he ran through QH. He was coming from Qeynos, got to the hill just before the merchant house & a restless skeleton hit him. At the exact moment it died, 2 giant rats spawned just behind it. I figured it would be a good idea to kill them too. So he did, then ran to the ruins and killed everything, including putrid skeletons, a mangy rat & some dread corpses.

Grand plan? Secret method? Nahhh, but Pyzin did spawn in under 5 minutes, which is more than I had been able to get her to do.

And the sad end to this story is she only dropped a rusty dagger.

She spawned again as I was writing this and was gracious enough to drop..... YES... another rusty dagger!

I have been hunting pyzjn for 2yrs now. I know the spawn point is still random but she seams to have a PH now, it will stand near the center of the ruins near the center pillar. It seams that when the increased the spawn rates in the newbi zones it affected pyz.. i have killed her 5 times in one EQ night...but no stone..I'm not sure if she still drops it..good luck all

lol all ur ways to make her spawn.. none of which work... i will tell you the only way to have her spawn.. sit near the ruins up on top of the hill.. type /afk... now wait 4 days.... type /afk again... get up and see if she is there.... usually works for me lol... god some people are dumb....SHE IS A RANDOM SPAWN

Getting kind of mad.....
