For the four people that care, this mob can actually spawn on either side of the room. Placeholder can be a knight, warrior or Shaman of various names.
either i'm lucky or just good timing since noone hunts in Guk anymore... anyway i got 2 more braziers 2 spawn cycles later ..just wanted to verify he does still spawn and not as rare as some say ... 4 times in less then 5 hours and brazier dropped 3 out of the 4.
Why is there so much /spam on this guys page, relating to a newbie guide and to information on the now monster graveyarded monsters that had been/were killed in the taking/retaking of Gukta?

You're talking to me all wrong... It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.
I know the subject is long dead, but I do recall this newbie guide. The site it was on went belly-up a while back, unfortunately, but the guy managed to get a level 12 mage pet to last him all the way to Level 30 or so, being pivotal in how he was able to grind. The little guy helped him out a ton. Its the entire reason why I knew this item existed.
well you apparently have no idea what your talking about because today (7/25/2010) at 7:41 am Central time the summoner spawned not once but twice in both the east and west alcoves and i am now the proud owner of the brazier of elemental summoning..which i will promptly give to my wife to fix the bad faction i got with her for camping the summoner for 4 hours...but it was worth it !!!
As previously stated he can pop either side of Priest room (thats usful info as i arrived at guk and found I had no map).
Wasnt sure i had the right place but by reading earlier posts I though I may be close .....when POP .... 5mins (including running around killing froggys) and he appeared. Got the Brazier first kill :-) Now I'm torn between selling (ooc's in pok yesterday were ask to pay 10 12k for this on AB server) or leveling my froggy shammy a bit. <<sigh>> Hard life eh? :-)
Have to agree ...pet class is great for camping this. I just used my pet attack hotkey to kill all the froggys in the area. I'm a 66 Necro btw ..and in case your wondering ...I'm mostly afk ...or i would have gone to higher zone to farm. During the time here i frequently hit /who to ensure I wasnt depriving anyone of kills or camp. I'll post later if I establish how frequently the summoner spawns.
Both of the alcoves in the Froglok Priest room (east and west side) are PH's for this - if you camp this guy for awhile, you'll often see him pop in both spots.
'Camped' him for about three days while cleaning house, working on computer, etc. Spawn rate is about one in 5, so you'll see him once or maybe twice an hour. Brazier drop is about one in 10.
So while this is an easy camp - you can afk with a higher level pet class without risk - it's not too time efficient to camp this for PLing a twink if you are actively playing.
i read the post below for the ph loc and was using this room to PL my bard while camping this mob. a second summoner has spawned across the ph that was mentioned below a few times that i have been here.
In the room with the Priest, there are two knights that spawn on either side of the room outside the pit that he is in. These are the placeholders for the Summoner as far as I have seen.
I surely wouldn't mind getting one of these. I'm currently a level 35 Paladin soloing my way through level 35. A pet would be awesome to have. I can duke it out. and svae a little bit of lfie while that thing dishes out a total of about 100dmg. =-)
This is purely speculation on my part; but I would guess the Lens of Glowing Amber is part of skill recipe. Most items for a quest seem to be Lore and this is not. I looked on a website at most of the known recipes but did not see it listed in any of them. I did see a Velium Lens that was used in the Tinkering skill to make the Telescopic Eye Patch and the Watchman's Helm. So my guess is it might be used in a as of yet undiscovered Tinker's recipe. By the way I have 5 of them if anyone figures out what they are used for and wants them.
