This named giant can be found at the fort with others of his type. The tree weave is an excellent chest piece for Druids, Shamen and even some tank classes.

I was hunting the Mountain Giant Patriach last night for the Giant Monocale and ended up killing him 4 times in an hour without getting the monocale, but he did drop a Treeweave on the very last kill(until then it had only been opals and Weighted Axes). Maybe him dropping this is new? It was weird, as every time he popped he had only about 3/4th health, including the first time we showed up(The first time I just assumed someone else had recently fought him and lost).
Best way of killing this guy is to take a SK and a Necro. Let SK pull with dark then send in pet Necro fears and put on 2 dots (BoD and EBolt 2K dmg in 50sec) And just keep him Darked and feared. No problem at all! We have done this 10 times. Only got 1 kill of the SK because someone traint him on us and i Necro was OOM and SK could not FD. We killed him like 10 times now and got 1 Tree Weave. BTW or lvl were both 52!
me 52 shammy, and 50 druid took this guys out I was 40-60 m when pulled. anyways was long battle I only used 1 dot and druid used clickable only and clickable root. was long battle but he went down has a little more hp the the ancients and resists little on the poison based spells. resist root a little and druid said resisted on fire spells and some snares. jsut some fyi we only killed him 1 time and droped opal only. was there for about 1 horu and he popped 1 time.

Myself and Ganbik slapped this dude down today. First time I have seen him. Popped as a ramp guard. I was at about 70m when he popped. Hit him with Cascading Darkness, dropped Splurt on him as I was pulling him from the ramp to the back side of the fort. Sent in Gabtik, Feared him (one resist) feared again then slapped Ignite Blood and Ebolt on him, resisted Plague. Had to recast Darkness once and fear twice, he must have been lvl 50. OoM at the end of the battle. When he toppled I looted him and got the TW right off the bat. =) Guess it's time to twink up Notgonnaportya, my Druid.

Gorgul doesnt summon first of all. the weave is rare yes but it does eventually drop. First time i looted it was 18 kills b4 the weave dropped. went gave to my warrior and camped him again was lvl 50 at the time had a 50 and a 51 druid was pretty easy i fearkited they dotted etc... anyway the second i went back took roughly 15ish kills then the third took about 10 kills then this last time which is today being the day i typed this message took me prolly 19 plus kills b4 he dropped had to give it up cuz had one on already though oh well good (lvl 56 sk that time i soloed him np)twice
This dude is a piece of cake for me (45th Shaman) and my bro (50th Monk) and the SOB hasnt droped a TW in the 19 times weve killed him.. Really rare drop or we are just really unlucky =(.
We've been camping old Gorgul for about a week straight now, about five hours a night or so (the giants are nice exp) - Gorgul almost always (always?) spawns as a guard out front. When I track, he never shows up inside, so far anyway. But for the 10 or so times we've dropped him, he has not in turn dropped the tree weave.
What's the drop rate on this fine armor? Anybody know? When I ask in OOC's or guild, I get a range of answers. Everything from 1 in 10 to 1 in 50 (which would make this a *hell* of a camp considering old Gorgul pops about once an hour or so)...
i got it first spawn, killed him with 40%mana just darkened him and feared him kept my pet bashing him to hell,
was pleasently surprised to see it drop the tree weave, only prob im a necro i would of like splurt to drop instead lilliputt graveller 50th necromancer
We've been camping for about a week, about five hours a night - he's never popped anywhere but right out front, so far. Usually on the right (if you're facing the fort) side. He's basically a timed spawn I think, and he does so anywhere between a half hour to an hour. Once or twice he spawned twice in a row, so.... I don't think there's a ph for him anyway. We just slaughter giants left and right and eventually he pops.
Killed him today. Dunno why I was in BW at 35 but a guildie needed a healer so I went. He dropped some Mage words, an opal and a Straw Spun Belt. <yawn> Treeweave must be pretty rare off this guy.
He popped on us 2 times in a row last night. He dropped the weave both times, with a forest loop as well on the second time. I think we got very lucky.
Have soloed him 4 times now, all as a 51 dr00d. First time he resisted 3 snares but bit on the fourth, and broke 3-4 roots, resisting one. It took 10 Drifting Deaths to take him out, medding as he was rooted, and by the end had to resnare and kite him a bit to med enough to get off last dot....other times he was a bit easier, but still ate all of my mana(and the same 10 Drifting Deaths)...Ive since hit 52, and cant wait to try Breathe of Ro on him with DD stacked; should be alot easier.
Oh, and guess what...looted 4 opals and NO treeweave...whoopdie do!!
I took him out a few nights ago, myself being a 45 war, also had a 44 druid, 48 SK, and 50 monk. Druid was at 25% mana when fight started, and oom when it was over, we tore im up. He was a level 50 one, but didnt summon any of us. No Tree weave tho, which was the reason i wanted him dead in the first place =\
Very soloable solo to necromancers. I was 49 at the time, he conned yellow so he was 50(didn't summon). I was luckily at 95% mana when he popped and I pulled with Dooming Darkness, feared, then sent in pet. I just renewed darkness and fear when needed and ended the fight with about 25% mana(medding while pet was doing the dirty work) His resist are kinda high so a partner would be best for taking him. I've killed about 10 Gorguls and no tree weave.
Conned yellow to me at 49 last night. Kind of lame he didn't drop the TW. Oh well. A 52 necro and I (49 necro) took him out without a problem. Love pets!
54 Paladin and a 52 Shaman took him out relatively easy. Didnt drop the treeweave though. Figures. Some Druid trained a full health Giant on us though and zoned. just kept him rooted and worked this fella. Gotta watch them Druids though, they good for about 3 things. Sow's, TP's and TRAINS.
