Sabertooth Battle Plans  

The place holder is a 16^^^ Tactician. Took me an hour to spawn the captain. I cleared the room several times but I noticed that he spawned after the 2nd time I cleared the path leading to the room aswell. Spawned on the bed by the wall at -68.88,-16.31,+78.48

Been checking in for this guy every so often for over a month now. Decided to be proactive about trying to get him to spawn.

First thing i did was clear my way up to the fork just as if i was if i were with a group in his level range(level 32 now). This includes wandering guards! Cleared the bunkroom and then proceeded to clear everything on the way into the war room and everything inside.

While waiting for repops i went down to check on the other captain as i had read (probably here) that ghurox may be exclusive of the other captain meaning one or the other can be up but not both. Checked on him and he was down so i hurried back upstairs and VOILA! There's ghurox in the back of the bunkroom. Maybe dumb luck or perhaps I'm onto something here but i got him on my first attempt on this trip and my first real attempt at spawning him.

Give it a shot if you're stumped.. GOOD LUCK!

Me I waited about an hour until he spawned... but in the meanwhile I killed the group from the other room with the named 18^^^ and I got nice drops...Fabled spells...lvl 13-14 but they sell well... :-)
And the Captain gave me super nice drops...about 4 spell Adept1 and 2 Fable Spells... it was OK after all...

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I had cleared the Oracle/Tactician room dozens upon dozens (probably close to a hundred...seriously) of times to no avail. Bored, I ended up wandering around (one of the small pleasures in life when everything is grey), and I found another named Captain at the end of the tunnel where the Miners & Excavators spawn. I killed him, but did not get a quest update. From there, I got the two quests from the two geologists, and proceded to the gnoll brewery (Gnoll Brew quest) where I killed the named Brewmaster...because he was there. After cashing in the quest, I went back to the Oracle/Tactician room & there was the named Captain.

I don't know that the named Brewmaster has anything to do with it, but I believe that the other named Captain may share a spawn resource (i.e. only one can be up at a time). So, if you can get a group to wade through all of that, or have the luxury of greying out the zone, it may be worthwhile to check for the other named Captain & take him down if he is up.

Based upon the time spent killing trash mobs waiting for the Capt. to spawn vs. rewards, this is easily the WORST quest in the game. It is only good for deleting.

Plans are not dropped from random gnolls - only from Captain Ghurox - an uncommon heroic mob that spawns in the "captain's room" in Blackburrow.

Spawn time for room is about 5-10 minutes but Captain Ghurox (LVL 18^^) doesnt spawn with the group very often so you have to kill the group and wait 5-10 minutes. Rinse and repeat til he pops and you're done.

How long does it take for the Captain to spawn? We have been in front of the entrance for over 2-3 hours? Do we have to kill something anywhere else? We have cleared out all guards in area to no avail. Other guards have popped..but no captain...zoned in and out and no help. zoned to BB 2 and no help.

You must do the squires(standing right beside him) quest first before you can do the Paladins quest. No you don't need to be a citizen of Qeynos.

For those who speak English instead of computer, Sir Jeager is located a bit to the right of the middle of the south of Antonica (west map, with the gates to Qeynos). Just keep going along the southern coast until you find him.

Also, he has some kind of requirement, probably that you be a Qeynos citizen, I can't get the quest as a Freeport traitor.
