As they made the Arcanite Reaper recipe now useable by any blacksmiths and no longer only axesmiths, a question came to mind :

I want this plan, as I want to make one of the most legendary 2handers of all time. So, is there any possible way for any class to solo this boss?
I'm having my doubts, as he's placed inside a 10 (once 15) man instance, and I have no clue if he's even able to pull away.

I do know one thing for sure thought, and that is that it's going to be fun trying to.

So if anyone ever manages to do this, even if it's solo or duo, share your experience. It will be fun to try something new.

A guildie of mine farmed LBRS for the plans solo. 70 warrior. what he did was drop down to where bannok spawns, and if he wasnt there take off all his armor and die, run back, reset, and try again. he got the plans after about 4 tries.

Easily solo-able as a 70 rogue in 10/17 epics.

Soloed as a 70 ret paladin with no problems, I also aggro a group of orcs with him except when he spawns in a certain place. It seems that he spawns in 3 different places in the same general area before the spider boss. A normal orc will spawn where he sits when he does not spawn.

After farming for the Arcanite Reaper plans I've seen him spawn 8 out of 31 runs. So it would seem that he has about a 25% spawn rate. (Got the plans on the 31st run :D)

It takes me about 30 minutes to get in 5 runs and hit the instance cap. So for me each run averages to about 6 minutes a run if you kill the minimum amount of mobs possible and know the shortcuts.

Now with the new talents the runs should go even quicker.

Soloed as a 70 prot warrior in t5 content gear rather easily, he appeared on my third run, and the plans dropped on my first kill.

Commento di Thottbot

Ok im planning on farming this guy.. Do you have to have a priest shiled you to get by, or is it possible with just speed pot?

Also im wondering if anyone has seen a map ower the instance?

Commento di Thottbot

Anyone know how hard this dude is?.. Can he be done with 2 warriors and a shaman lvl 60? :)

Commento di Thottbot

I have gotten him to spawn once.. but i did not see him cause of death, but i really find it hard to belive that he could be pulled without adds. Must bee somewhere close to spider ramp, and that area is filled with mobs.

Commento di Thottbot

He spawns just before the spiders in LRBS.

You'll see an area with 2 big carts, the cart with all the sleeping guys is not where he is.

You'll see him sitting down on a rug, looking at the wall by the other cart. He is somewhat alone and can be killed without pulling other mobs.

He's soloable by a 60 rogue.

Commento di Thottbot

Could some briefly describe the quickest way to get down to him? Is there an area safe to drop to once a rogue or whoever sees him? Also, does dropping like this reset the aggro from above? Is this how the guy with the shield and swiftness pots made it? I'm about to try to farm this guy myself, no one on my server has these plans yet and I am a master axesmith with all materials! The wait is killing me.

Commento di Thottbot

Ok, I think I've found the fastest possible way to check this. All you need is a warlock with Eye of Kilrogg (lvl 22) and a friend somewhere in the world. Get Warlock to BRS some way. Warlock goes in, invite friend to party, send Eye to the ledge, drop the eye in the LAVA, it won't get hurt this way, then you can scan for Bannok. I find macro'n /target Bannok and spamming it will catch him everytime. If you target him but don't see him, send the eye again. If you don't see him, Warlock must disband from party first (so he'll get Not Part of this Instance), then leave the instance. Going back in ungrouped will guarantee a new instance and then just eye again and invite your buddy. This takes 2-3 minutes for each reset and is the fastest possible way I can think of. So far I'm 0/4 but just figured this technique out. Good luck guys.

Commento di Thottbot

As a rogue, how can you solo him without aggro other mob around?

Commento di Thottbot

just wondering... u say restart.. in order to restart the instance it's enough for me to logout and log in again? or do i need to find some ppl to party with to get a new instance?

Commento di Thottbot

ive been at this forever. im just droppin down, sprint everynow and the and doin the thing. seen him once on over 100 runs and 12-20 hours. which carpter are u guys talking about. the time i saw him he was near the lava on a circular carper. easily pulled alone and killable. where do i get these spyglass seems pretty effective. i would like to know all his possible spawns cause its killing me not knowing whether i know for sure hes not there, even though he sticks out like a sore thumb

Commento di Thottbot

I farmed him this week end with my rogue 60, and he spawned around 5-6 times but no drops :-(

I've seen 2 spawns for him in LBRS : just after the tunnel, jump on the right and next to orcs Fireband. I've seen him under the first tent on the left, and a bit further on the right corner. For the 2 spawn, you can solo him (for the first one, you have to pull, for the other one you have to stay away from the other group on the corner)

Commento di Thottbot

THx Wolf!

Got the Reaper Plans tonite thx to an Awesome Rogue! Wolf hooked me up in about 20 resets,5 kills...Grim was downed easy by Wolf, looked like a sad dishoner gank.

Thx again Wolf, best Rogue on LightningsBlade

Finally got him to drop the plans after 25+ hrs of camping. Killed him about 17 times if my count is correct. I did notice that the plans are an extra drop along with his regular table. I got the belt also. Anyway, just happy I dont have to make the run anymore. Anyone needs this made look me up on Windrunner. I can also make heartseeker if intrested.

Ok here is a step by step, that worked for me. I have 2 computers side by side and a few rogue friends. Zone in with rogue, invite whoever and promote to leader. Stealth and run down to ogres. Make sure to have a /target Bannok macro setup. Once to the ogres start spamming this macro. I run past the 3 guards at the opening to ogres, avoid the wanderer in the hall and stop at the next opening. There should be 2 more guards, one on each side. You will usually get a black rat on target from your macro if bannok is not up. Anyway, spam it the whole way down the tunnel to the second set of guards. If you don�t get bannok on target once to the 2nd set of guards, run out. Leave the group before you zone out, and wait for the message that you will be ported. Then zone out and repeat. Total trip is about 5 minutes. Now when you do find him up, he will be in 1 of 3 spots. I drop down left from the 2nd set of ogres onto a ledge. It�s safe to buff here. From this ledge he will be directly below you behind a cart, kitty corner to the cart on a round mat in a corner, or down the hall on the right (opposite of spiders). All 3 spots soloable with a 60 rogue. I found the hardest spot is the one farthest away from the spiders. You have to time the wanderer right and kill him before he paths back. Other 2 spots are easy. For the cart one drop down in the corner, do not use any firewater(stuff that makes you bigger) I found it agros adds. Un-stealth in the corner and inch up til he agros on you. DO NOT PULL HIM. Once agro back up in corner and kill. He does not run. For other corner, just stealth past him in the corner and kill him. He should agro on you as you get to the corner. You will have to find the way out. Not going to bother trying to explain that one. Good luck

Yes, I can confirm the following...

1. Scout runs take about 2 minutes, if you use the reset macro (mentioned above), so you don't have to run back out.

2. From what I've heard, and from my own experience, Bannok seems to spawn mostly in the farthest spot of the three, closest to the spiders. Unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure the spyglass will detect him from the ledge, I'd suggest hopping down and getting closer. Only adds another 20 seconds if you're using the reset macro. If you're using the spyglass, you're running the risk of missing him if he spawns in the furthest location. Plus, if the chest near the ogres has spawned, you'll be coming this way anyway.

3. Don't JUMP off the ledge down to the tents. After the 1.6 patch you will take damage and unstealth. Simply RUN off and you will stay stealthed. Be sure to check to make sure you're not falling onto the patrol.

4. Bannok is easily soloable at the most distant spot, closest to the spiders, by sitting in the corner behind him. Soloed him at 59 without aggroing any others.

~15 resets, 1 kill, AR plans.

Commento di Thottbot

I've run the test myself when he was the furthest away from the ledge. Spyglass does allow you to spot him with the macro

Commento di Thottbot

The guy barely spawns no more

Prolly about 70 resets now and he hasnt spawned a single time

Blizz has lost it

Commento di Thottbot

its really easy if you know the trick.
you just go right behind the wagon, and shoot bannok with bow/gun. he will come without adds :) thats it

Commento di Thottbot

tips for position 1
shoot bannok, vanish when he is very colse to u and turn off stealth asap, bannok will keep attack u but not the mobs behind him

beware of the pats anyway

Commento di Thottbot

Would it be possible for a survival skilled hunter (more hp, more dodge) to farm this guy using feign death? And, perhaps the Engineer Invisibility Trinket (which i have) and some invis potions?

Commento di Thottbot

Could a feral druid solo this guy? Im thinking a druid in the pvp set could, I soloed the guy that gives BWL quest on my druid.

Commento di Thottbot

If position 1 is the one furthest one, i think this might have been mentioned earlier, but pull him with an arrow when the patrol goes past, vanish then quickly unstealth

edit yeah this tip is 2 posts above me :P

Commento di Thottbot

well it seems blizz have put a stop to entering an instance more than 3 times a hour as i had a lvl 58 warrior help me out with the leaving group to reset bollox and bringing me potions nd stuff....

i went in 3 times and no spawn!

tried to go in for the 4th time and msg pops up saying "You have entered too many instances recently!"

quite gutted tbh was looking forward to pwning this guys ass!

well been in 14 times now and no spawn im starting to beleive that he doesnt exist lol... wish me luck

Commento di Thottbot

Lately, Bannok has only spawned in the first tent on the left with your back to the Lava. Also, he has 3 other friends that assist him too. I've tried shooting an arrow, body pulling.. none work.

Commento di Thottbot

Is Bannok a rare spawn or does he spawn each time ur inside? like normal bosses...?

(thinking about farming Arcanite Reaper, cuz its nice^^)

Commento di Allakhazam

I have only seen him in the room just before the spiders.
Nowhere else.
And hes sitting... not sleeping.

Edited, Wed Mar 30 05:53:52 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

Like mentioned he spawns in the orc area before the spider ramp. There's 3 rugs where 1 mob will spawn randomly on any of the 3. This is his placeholder. The mob is always sitting so easy to figure out. After a few runs/resets at studying the layout you'll get the pattern. Very time consuming but if you have the patience, he'll pop eventually.

Commento di Allakhazam

So damn patethic! XDD , saw him sitting in a corner, hugged that corner, unstealthed, he attacked, Suprisingly no adds came ,as a dagger rogue i sinister striked him to death.. he deals like 100dmg each hit.. (were to afraid to move behind to backstab.. mobs woulda come then, ) droped blue belt.. Well feels good to know i can solo him :D

AkA: Bannok NoobAxe ^^

I wrote a guide for Rogues going after Bannok Grimaxe

he's sitting in the area before the spiders not after.

The guide is:

http://www.worldofroguecraft.com/bannok.html

With the new limit on resetting instances this will probably take a lot longer. Rogues can solo him all the information is in the guide for Rogues. (Possibly Druids too but I don't know anything about that.)

What is the Spawn rate on this guy, does anybody know. Because i want to know if it is efficient to grind him for cash (the nearly 10% drop rate on plans:arcanite reaper sells for a bomb)

Commento di Allakhazam

He spawns in LBRS in the room before Wyrmthalak with the all the orcs and the cracks in the floor.

He's one of the orcs sleeping in the corner, but he's a rare spawn.

Commento di Allakhazam

When I found him, he was in the closest possible spot to the spider ramp. He was sitting right at the corner, not in the camp with the sleepers, but the one directly across from it. Idk if he has multiple spawn points, but thats where I found him, after only 1 reset using mind vision too.

Commento di Allakhazam

I think Blizz nerfed this guy. At the wagon and the first place he can spawn, he always get the group besides him pulled.

I killed him about ½ year ago and he dropped Arcanite Reaper plans. Happy me^^

Commento di Allakhazam

Don't know whats changed since the 2.0 patch, but pulling him from pos. 3 behind the cart thing without the nearby mobs is just not happening.

I've tried the vanish quickly and stick it, but Blizzard got smart and the mobs now wait about 2 secs after Bannok leaves. So if you pull him, vanish, try to keep him with an ambush or CS ... the mobs are right there waiting on you.

I'm on my 12th Vanish now .. don't want to leave him because we all know what he "may" drop .. but this is clearly diminishing returns when I could be in BGs getting honor.

I'm going to try one more time .. after that its splitzville for me.

Good luck

Commento di Allakhazam

killed him just 5min ago...

we was killing mobs and first realized that he was a rare when we looted him...

plate gloves with 4mana regen

Commento di Allakhazam

He has several places he can spawn, and I think a few were added/removed recently in a patch. Been planning on doing some scouting with my brother's priest to find him sometime but I'm not sure where all he spawns. I do know he tends to spawn sleeping or sitting.

Commento di Allakhazam

This guy is incredibly pathetic. I soloed him before Adrenaline Rush/Evasion wore off, and the hardest he hit me for was 129 damage (He only hit me two times). Of course, duel instant poisons probably help, I think they proced like 8 times during the fight.

Commento di Allakhazam

Anyone know where this guy spawns inside of BRS?

Commento di Allakhazam

Is this guy soloable with a rogue? I ask because alot of the rare spawns are.

Commento di Allakhazam

I've been using the priest's mind vision to scout this area, and if the guy's not there we've been reseting the instance.

Thing is, it's been 8 tries, and so far I've seen nothing. Zip, nada, zilch, etc.

Does anyone know if he's anti-mind vision or something?
