Can't get the Ghoul of Takish Hiz to spawn

[Kahooli]

So I've read numerous threads on getting the ghoul to spawn, and I've basically spent about 12 cumulative hours so far AEing everything in the desert portion of South Ro and AEing everything north of the water in Oasis, and haven't seen one Ghoul of Takish Hiz spawn yet.

Any good ideas or strategies about getting him to spawn reliably?

umm... pray?

Go buy or check out from your local library a good book on tape/cd.

Its a very nice way to spend the time while farming/waiting for rare spawns.

I've seen this mob about 3 times - all within the same game session. I was out obliterating everything that moved in the South Ro desert (sand area) for the Ancient Cyclops. I saw this mob pop 3 times in a 4 hour session.

In follow-up sessions, however, I haven't seen the mob again - even with multiple 3 hour sessions. Hard find indeed and it won't always drop the item that the quest is after. So its even more painful once you do find him.

Took me 5 long days of camping him in South Ro desert, saw him 3 times (third time he dropped the Anchor), so there where days of 14 hours that I didn't see him at all.
Just rare random spawn I think and his drop is also rare, GL getting your drop!

Don't camp him, you will drive yourself crazy. I was able to get a few AC to spawn in s ro before I even saw a Ghoul of Takish Hiz. Instead I bound myself right at the zone line between s ro / oasis and everytime I gated I just ran around for a quick look. Over the course of a week I managed to kill 7-- the final one dropping the anchor.

In oasis-- I have always seen the ghoul around the entrance to the N Ro LDoN adventures. Far east as the docks, not too far north, far west as the wall and far south as the lake (northern boundry). S ro is just about anywhere you would expect to see the AC (i.e. in the sand), but generally around the DE tradeskill camp.
