Firbrand the Black  

Never looked at it that way, but ya he dose.

He is located in Eastern Wastes at the Orc Fort located almost driectly in from the great bridge. When you enter the fort there are 3 rooms. A big, middle room with a large fire (you can see the smoke from some distance and I use it to home in on the fort when its not snowing). In the middle room Orc Mystics and Legionaires usualy spawn. To the left, as you enter is the BS room or the BlackSmith room. This is where Firbrand Spawns. The BlackSmith is his placeholder and spaws about every 30 minutes. Firbrand seems to spawn once for every 10 spawns...so the 5 hour estimate above seems to match my observations as well. He seems to drop the gloves almost every time...I have never seen him drop the mace in the 5 times I have helped to kill him. The BS room is the easiest to maintain, just dont sit too close to the walls or you will aggro wandering orcs from outside the fort. Also, you will find that elites, Cents and Lego's will spawn here. Elites are quite tough! Don't engage more than 1 at a time if you can help it. The Room to the right is the Chief room. Spawns here include the Chief, the Oracle and Elites. This room is the toughest of the 3 but can be handled by a good group. The chief has many HP. I have found it best to just snare his *** and fear him while your tanks and casters bomb. He drops the Rygor BattleMail (or whatever....I can't remeber exactly from memory). A very sweet breastplate for melee types 18ac +10str, ummm more bonuses and its weight is only 1 stone! Another thing that some people forget is that in the back of the fort (dont go outside the "fort" just outside the building) is a very small building with a iron gate. If you need to zone....Run to gate, open gate, run in little room, see stone, click stone, LOADING PLEASE WAIT...You have entered the Crystal Caverns. The zone point is relatively safe. At most you may have to deal with a lvl 30 orc miner but thats never happened to me. Anyway, Firbrand and the Chief are camped quite a bit so you may have to wait to get into a group. Sometimes 1 well tuned group of 45 - 50 ppl will hold down the whole fort but usually there are 2 groups...1 BlackSmith group and 1 Chief group. Hope this info helps......

yea i was in his group, got the hammer and gloves (hammer thanks to elandros :) hugz)
anyways, we got lucky and saw him 3 times in 3 hours. i camped it for 4 hours the next day and saw him once. There's about 5 spawns in the room, so u have to split the spawn. this place can get heavily crowded b/c elites hit like trucks and they con blue to me at 41. by trucks i mean like 110 hp double attack. the closest zone wall is the crystal cavern teleport orb at the back of the camp. its in a little house that u have to click the gate on to enter. be sure to click on the black bars on the gate (its a black bar grid). if u click on the space between it, it won't open. there's a spawn in front of the house too so watch out. one elite always spawns in the entrance of firbrand's room. if u gotta bail, go to the crystal caverns, then just walk backwards to zone back to the orb
