Overlord Gnikan  

After camping Overlord Gnikan for three days I finally got the tunic, but funny thing is, it didn't drop from him, it dropped from a Gloomingdeep Warrior.

Soloed at lvl 12, 4 gloom items, rest stitched, only gloom bought spells. Only hit him with the Iron hammer, healed self and kept yalp up the whole fight, was close to 0 mana and 20% hp left when he died, pulled him to the corner in hes room where the add dont spawn and kept him there, no adds that way, hidden behind the little throne chair. Didnt drop the orb for me tho, and this was on the test server, so i wanted the silly 10% haste hehe.

As as 12 Necro with 12 pet (left mines after binding there so I could get my lvl 12 spells, then gated back) he was no problem at all, even with a Spiritweaver add.

My pet and I finished him leaving me with nearly full health and about 1/3 mana.

I went onto the tutorial with a new Gnome Pally (just wanted a gnome in plate tbh) at level 9 me, a level 10 zerker and a level 10 shaman kicked him and his lackeys around a bit, which was nice =D

the Kobold sword is no longer obtainable, maybe disarm works but still proboly not


Ive seen him drop some plate armor: bracers and Sleeves

I just soloed him with an untwinked mage 10, who had only the gear from this zone. My only special power is the drakkin breathweapon (have done 2nd step before trying him on)., which is not that powerful. I only needed a type 3 celestial heal potion to do it. My weapon were the 10th level water elemental pet and the 7th level fireshield plus the bolt and shock spells.
I cleared the way to him first, then medded up and attacked at full strength. It is a bit close, and I guess it could go wrong, but if handled right, it works fine. I stepped in when my pet hit 25% hp and used the potion to keep standing, while it killed him, still nuking until he dropped.

Not sure what the hell kind of twinkage you all were using on your toons when you say he was soooooo easy.

I just tried him using a very twinked out level 7 Ogre SK with 1000 hp and 650 ac, 34% haste belt, bard haste, level 7 pet skeleton, and swinging a blade of carnage (15/20 1HS)...in addition to two other very twinked out toons to include a beastlord and bard. This dude is NOT sooooooooooooo easy.

All three of my toons are popping off 20s on hits (the SK a bit higher). He takes the SK down to 30% and we get him down to maybe 70% before we sprint to the guards. He hits for 30s and seems to have quite a few hit points. He is much tougher than any level 10 NPC I've ever come across in the game.

So all you saying this guys was sooooooooooooo easy, how about you list the mad gear each of your toons was using to take him down. I am sure it wasn't the stuff dropping out of The Mines of Gloomingdeep and nothing else.

This guy drops various gloom no drop weapons.
He also drops a few(sometimes) gloom steel armor

He conned white to me at level 10
