GBS lessons
# Feb 08 2001 at 7:23 PM Rating: Default
The Glowing Black Stone was the first item in the game that I ever saw being auctioned for 10,000 pp. That just left me slack-jawed. Of course, at the time, I couldn't imagine ever HAVING 10,000 plat, much less spending it on one item.

I suppose it's an interesting lesson in EQ economics to consider that a Stein of Mogguk is a better item to equip -- more INT, better additional stats - but the Stein is a whole lot cheaper. The only thing the GBS has going for it is that you can hold it in your primary hand and still equip a Stein in your left.

Just to let you know, Pyzjn conned yellow to my 12 mage so i don't think ya have to be lvl 25 unless she lvl jumps all day.
RE: 25 =P

The reason you need to be 25 or so is because she has a pet and I would imagine she is one of those spawns that hit well over then the lvl in which she is suposed to be. Just thought I would mention it.

At 23 I camped her a bit and though she only pop once my pet basically soloed her and pet. I feared her pet and dropped blood on her, but by the time i landed blood she was over 1/2 dead and my pet was still at 68%.

I took her on with my paladin when he was level 12. Another player said he would keep her pet occupied, but he reneged on his promise, so I had to zone into BB to escape. If it had been one-on-one, I could had done her in with my pally and a LoH. I'd place her at 13 at least part of the time, based on that encounter (she was yellow but manageable).

How to make her spawn
# Jan 31 2001 at 3:31 PM Rating: Decent
OK, I read up on her, too. I found several posts of people adament about not killing the dreads, so I tried it. This is very hard, because the dreads MUST remain undisturbed the entire day after they spawn. They get up and walk to designated spots and then return. You have to protect them on their walks, i.e. one of them walks to other side of the road to Surefall, and I had to hail a guard so he wouldn't kill it on it's way back across the road. I've seen her only 5 times and all 5 times were when the dreads remained undisturbed the entire day. Good luck, because a wandering gnoll, newbie, or Miller will agro them and mess up the spawn. Is this the fool proof way to spawn her? I don't know, but it worked 5 out of 5 times. Do what you will with this information. G/L!! (and no, I haven't gotten a GBS yet. =P)

if that can help

i read all on the GBS .. camp it for like 1 month and not even see Pyzjn once ... until my last try 3 days ago.
i get this GBS at the first try ...
how ? .. by doing that :
i let the circle of the skeleton by complete .. kill all the no undead creature who was on a skeleton spot and let the skel get their place ....
the only skel i killed, was the one who spawn on the Pyzjn spot ...
so after the circle was complete and there is just 2 skel in the middle, i pray that nobody came and break it .. Innorruk was here, noone came. And at 2h00 am (norrath time) i saw Pyzjn coming for the hill behind the ruin ... she was with her pet ... i darkness her ... blast her and kill her, then loot her ( without kill her pet) and i get the GBS .... then i kill the pet ....
that`s it.
i hope that could help

for someone who only got pyzjn to spawn once in a *month*, and just happened to get lucky that she spawned with the stone, you really shouldnt be giving advice.


ive been doing this camp 5 days and have gotten her to spawn 7 times. jeez.
GBS
# Jan 14 2001 at 7:11 AM Rating: Decent
I have gotten this stone 3 times.
1st took 4 days at 5 to 6 hours per day
2nd too 5 days at 5 to 6 hours per day
3rd took 15 minutes, logged in and she popped up. got the stone and she respawned immediately. with no stone.

Drop
# Dec 09 2000 at 3:01 AM Rating: Default
OK well pyzin might spanw if Tovax makes it to the ruins so make sure no one kills him. then there is a 2-3 pysin might spwan then there is a 1-5 chance she will drop the GBS{ short for Glowing Black Stone} correct me if i am wrong this is just what i heard
Don't have to be lvl 25
# Dec 30 2000 at 9:49 PM Rating: Default
today I killed her, she didn't drop the stone but she was blue to me at 18. She was VERY easy to kill and her pet never even hit me.
She is level 13 to 15. NT

i head if varsoon spwans kill him then make sure the undead version drops then wai t for her to spwan then she has an increased chance of droping it because if ya cast identify on gbs it says varsoon's black heart

ive been camping pyzjn for 35+ real time hours, and ive seen 3 pyzjns and 2 varsoons... one varsoon was not anywhere near a pyzjn spawn, and the other varsoon was about a day after the pyzjn spawn. i dont think it has anything to do with it...just another rare pop on that 4 hour spawn cycle.
