Lord Elgnub  

I have confirmed, to my own satisfaction at least, that Lord Elgnub is indeed a triggered spawn. I popped him three times by speaking with Marton Sayer about the quest in the cabin in Qeynos Hills. Each of the three times after talking to him I went directly to the spike pit in blackburrow and waited at the door. About thirty minutes later each time, Elgnub would pop in the tunnel leading to the green room. I never killed any snakes or other gnolls so he has no PH. I was also the only one in zone for 2 kills. Was very green to my 34 druid, never summoned a pet, and harm touched me off the bat for between 270-288 each time. He never cast any spells after that, though. Root, Drones, Immolate, and one combust later he was dead. Very easy kill. Always has Baby Joseph Sayer (lore/nodrop) like the mino hero always has the shackles. The intermediary gnoll slayer was changed to nodrop, so you had better have someone camped near who can use it. Pretty sure that the final slayer can be MQ'd but only by the character who has the sword. I tried handing it in once without the 2 drops from paw and Marton just gave it back to me.

Now I just wish there was a way to pop pyzjin :/

Okay, everyone knows about Qeynos (for those of you who aren't everybody, it's SonyEQ), but what other reversed names are there ?
Lord Elgnub ? Are there other Lords as well, like Yppiz, Egroeg and Yeroffeg ?

Lord elgnub is lower than 25. He was black to me at level 21. His HT did 211dd and after that he was simple as heck.

The Lord will spawn without killing anything like Elites or High Shamans or triggering any quest. I was in BB, early morning east coast, only a bunch of low levels like 5-8, and only about 10 people in zone. I waited at the pit for an hour and a half and POP, the Lord spawned without me going around clearing anything.

However, I did kill anything that came into or spawned in the pit of spikes except the snakes. Just in case the Lord was on a spawn table, i would kill anything that spawned in his spot but wandered around thinking that it would path back to its original spot.

So leave all those Elites alone for the little guys and just sit your butt down in the spike pit and wait. The Lord will pop (and probably depop pretty quickly) so keep awake!

I just barely killed him at level 33 today and he never casted once on me, not even interrupting his spell, as he had casted none for me to interrupt. He took maybe 30 hp off of me, but that's it. It could be he was changed to a warrior with recent patches, I'm just saying he never casted anything on me. He even had the chance (15-20 seconds) after I had snared him and was waiting for him to come to me to cast, but he never did once.

I have killed him five times now for friends at level 30 got good xps for him every time , he HTs for up to 294 pionts damage and pet is green i think he be a SK pet a wimp )) .alwys found in spiked room with the mob only one way door .This was on tunare server ))

this dudes level is crap i stood up to him for a long time and got him down to like 3/4 hp and i was level 12

His trigger seems to be striking up the conversation with Marton Sayer. When you talk to him about the gnoll slayer, Elgnub seems to pop within 10 minutes (trust me, tried it 3 times in a row today w/o fail...then again, could be luck).

Took him out for the 3rd time yesterday when a paladin alerted me to his presence. As of yet, I've had him pop twice at level 23 (HT of 231 is the giveaway), and once at level 25. The most recent kill, he had a pet up, which became a minor annoyance.

Always drops the baby, it seems, and the last kill, he had a Blackburrow Gnoll Skin. Strange since he's a Splitpaw gnoll (Fac hits are -Split Paw Clan, -Sabertooths of Blackburrow, +Karana Residents, +Guards of Qeynos. Same as escaped Splitpaws in SK).

Due to his position in the spike pit, he'd probably make short work of a commander train trying to escape.

i was getting faction in Halas with the Gnoll Fang quest, and came across him. I was a 22 ranger and he was dark blue to me, and i barely killed him. Next lvl, i was still there, and he spawned black to me at lvl 23. Killed him with a little help, i have one baby and one slayer right now.

So many of these people have some wierd ideas on how to get Elgnub to pop. I was in BB clearing the place out for faction (late night style). Very few people in zone. I started at top and killed everything that had Gnoll in it name. Got to the Snake pit room and had him agro on me. He was not there when I entered the pit. He had just spawned. In two days of killing everything about five times over he hadnt been seen. I killed him easy at lvl 30 and took the baby to Sayer. Got the Gnoll slayer and am now hoping the second part of this quest is not broken.
