Don't kill the golden goose

[Cigarskunk]

OK, one would think that any guild capable of taking down the Dain has enough collective brain cells to rub together to know that killing his Chamberlain means no more Dain till next patch.

Despite that assumed degree of intellect, there are still folks out there who's understanding of the 8th shawl apparently seems to be limited to "Ugh, it take tradeskills, dem sucks - is hard - only newbs do, me not doin shawl."

This is due to the fact that the Dain's buddy the chamberlain was apparently killed with him Friday night when a guild was doing the Dain. Due to the fact that some genius at Sony saw fit to provide the Chamberlain with ok loot, this made the only option for those of us doing the shawl that didn't involve competing with raids for spawns an NPC which one needed to compete with raids with for the spawn.

I have no clue what the Chamberlain's spawn time is, but he's been on vacation now for three solid days and the wizkid of a guide who answered my petition told me that he might be gone because someone may have killed him - just as I had explained in my petition - "Gee Mr Guide - you're so smart - you roxerz!" Even after I explained the quest, the concept behind the Chamberlain and other relevent details to this obvious natural 255 INT fellow, I was pretty certain that he still had no clue and was going to do jack squat about it.

So, does anyone know the spawn time of the Chamberlain?

Would everyone join me in petitioning/feedbacking suggestions that perhaps it would be a great idea to make us shawl folk's NPC a non-viable raid target?

don't petition it, you will just irritate more guides. feedback it via /feedback or email if you desire.

chamberlain was like a 5-6 hour spawn the only times when i did him. Maybe he is just stuck somewhere on your server and isnt returning home

[sumamael]

He is a short respawn, probably 5-6 hours like Oberon said. People usualy kill him because leaving him up makes pulling the dain harder.

Dain spawn is normally shorter than next patch, they've just been patching weekly recently. And Chamberlain should be a 5-6 hour spawn. Chamberlain also roams, he's not always at the throne so bring a tracker.

[Cigarskunk]

Found him - he was definately dead that entire time (had left my ranger alt in there to save me a run) - the punk spawned under the ice along with the entire Coldain "congress" and apparently most of the guards that were killed - a well aimed spear of disease through the ice brought the entire crew straight up along with the icecubes and coldain skellys - sweetest train I've ever created.

[Jannelle Silverthorne]

What you describe as a train would be an Erath pull. =P
Fortunately Paladins get DA, it's the only way Erath survives some of his pulls.

Glad ya found him.

I have seen the Chamberlain down in the pit buffing tentacles and cubes. He may con amiable, and those cubes may con scowl, but if you tap a cube, he comes a-running. His pathing is such that he cannot come back up. Its as dorky as when some of the trainers in kelethin fall off the platforms and wander underneath where they should be standing.

If you can wait the few hours for repops, ask (beg, plead, whatever) the guide to /kill the guy (in general, if the mob is over level 50 and/or a quest mob, they are not supposed to /kill it if the normal reset procedures don't work, and this is one mob that the normal procedures cannot work on). If you ask them to get a GM to gate the mob back to the spawn point, you may wait just as long.
