after camping him by myself as 31drk/15rdm, it took about an hour n a half. i was there solo and there were only a few miners running around. i sent a shout askin him to leave him be if they spotted him which they all agreed to since they were there just too mine. after keeping the place clear by myself he finally spawned in the location on the map. he was extremely easy as i took only about 40 damage total. if your a lower level, i would suggest silencing him as he seemed to enjoy magic a bit too much...well...time to camp him again. all i got was the hermits wand. gonna go for robe again.

Edit :
Battle number 2.
Well he spawned 1 hour exactly after the last battle with him. I kept the room clear again and saw him spawn in the same spot. Again i was the only person camping him with the exception of a japanese guy who came for 5 minutes then decided to leave for whatever reason. Again i got a Hermits Wand. 3.5k on Diabolos. I have gotten alot of batwings and leather armor pieces while killin the orcs around here however...well...im going to test this 1 hour spawn thing and keep this place clear once again.

Battle 3
Well exactly one hour after second battle i found him a 3rd time. this time competition with a thf and a blm but they left after a half hour. after they left it spawned and for the 3rd time it dropped hermits wand.....time to go to sandy to unload....got too much armor and batwings now. full inventory. ill come back later...

Round 4 :
Wand.

Finally got him on the 11th battle to drop the robe. altho those wands sell for 4-4.5k on my server so those added up real quick. plus all the gil that dropped and other things added up nicely. i will still camp him however.

Well, I went and camped this guy for the first time. A high lvl DRG was camping him as well. The two of us just kept killing whatever spawned in the circled area of the map. Finally he spawned right inbetween the two of us and I used provoke to grab him. However when using my provoke, I accidently used my 2 hour ability, Mighty Strikes as well (Macros are right next to eachother). Well this was one easy fight. When I fought him I was a lvl 29 WAR / 10 THF and I killed him. Only lost 4 HP the entire battle. He cast stone on me and that's how I lost the HP. After that he just tried to hit me with his staff and missed everytime. The battle was over in 30 seconds max. Than, low and behold, he drops robe. I was pretty happy. That puts me 1 and 1 with Mr. Ashmaker Gotblut.

Well, I've camped this guy 4 times already, 3 outta the four times I've been able to kill him the 4th time I got owned at half health, I'm a lvl 21 war/mnk and I survive each fight with him with decent HP left

To about 5 game minutes (~15 RL seconds) error, the orcs in the Ashmaker's room spawn 03:20 game hours/minutes (about 10 RL Minutes) after they die. So, assuming you kill them all at once with an AOE, you can always know when the next spawn will be if you check the time when you kill them. During this time you're free to go mine or fish in the previous room.

I'm still trying to accurately time the Ashmaker, but I'm leaning towards the 24-30 game hours theory assuming you keep the room clear.

Also, if you're using elemental seal while nuking these guys, it will be refreshed after each spawn. Yay.

EDIT: He seems to spawn anywhere between 24 and 48 hours after his initial death, assuming the room is kept clear. Once it starts nearing the 24 hour mark, I would suggest getting ready with your Poison/Provoke/Dia/whatever macro 3 minutes after your last set of kills, because it will spawn within the next 1-5 spawns. Good luck!

Took me two kills to get the robe over a period of 2 days. Spawned him 3 times, but some other ******* took him. I did this with my lvl 29 WAR with lvl 4 RNG equiped.
No Robes

Killed this guy twice got 2 wands and no robes took alot of killing the other orcs. Took more then a hour for each pop. If u plan on camping him i suggest taking a thf with gilfinder cause the orcs money drops add up over time. I also suggest takeing some pickaxes. There are a few Mining points around his spawn point

Lvl 30 Whm/15Blm and a Lvl 34Thf/12Nin had no problem at all killing him.
This NM Dropped For Me

Well I went there with my friend and I cleared the room of all the gobs and about 10 minutes after we were there the NM showed up. I was a 26 war and didn't have a problem at all. my friend had died because he was a lvl 20 blm and was agreod. So he was a little bad that I got the drop and he didn't. The place was only camped by one other person but he was occupied with another orc when the NM came. Anyway, first try I got the robe so it wasn't bad at all. friend had me stay again and we fought a 2nd time but only got the wand.

i killed him today and got robe. Hes a good NM because the robe is worth 30-40k and hes rarely camped. When i got there i killed all the placeholders once then a second time and then he spawned. Killed it with barrage 1 shot as lvl 43. If u have gilfinder most of the placeholders drop 40-50 gil so its not bad either
Every 30 game hours

My wife first fought this guy and got the Hermit's wand. She then waited for him again and it seemed like he poped prety close to 30 game hours. When I got on I got the wand the first time I fought him then waited. Again, around 30 game hours, he popped again. I waited for him one more time and it seemed like forever. Seems like as long as there is room for him to pop then he will, but if there isn't then your gonna wait.

I'm gonna check this out some more and see if there is an average time of 30 game hours. (^@^)

Well recently started camping this to help a WHM in my LS. Well killed it the first time got the wand. Killed it the second time...got the robe. Went back later killed it a third time......got another robe. Gave the first one to the WHM in my LS. Gonna sell the second one in Jeuno for around 50k atm. I have fantastic luck with this guy so far.

A small side note: Spawn time never exceeded 4 mass kills so it may be a lottery pop. Around an hour or so but I kill all then wait for them all to spawn then mass kill again.


I usually aggro everything in the room including the bats and then I mass kill with Cyclone. I do this so they all start to spawn and the same time and for some reason this helps me pick out Ashmaker a lot easier. plus the gil farming doesnt hurt while you wait. Usually just run into some miners in there an nothing else. Ocassional hunters dont bother me because I tend to own the NM's I hunt.

also I am always down to help anyone on my server as long as I dont have any pressing matters at hand.

Hope this helps,

Good luck

Woot!!!
Three days of camping, 7 kills, and finally a drop. Ive been trying to figure out his spawn sequence. yes, it is in the room and yes he needs a place to spawn so keep the room clear and hope you don't lose out becuse of it. I gave away most of the wands although they are great for a solo mage. It seems, to me, that if I do not have the room cleared enough he seems to wait another 30 minutes to pop. I soloed him at level 26 rdm /13 whm. (Silence Ashmaker and sleep any adds. Let him hurt you. It might just be superstition or something, but the only fight I came out with a robe, I was less than half health) Now i have some body armor to go to kazham with....
Umm... right after I get some martial slacks hehe Nm's are addictive^^
Good luck to anyone tryin out there.


Low Drop Rate... or just bad luck?

I'm new to NM hunting, and my first visit with Mr. Gotblut was a good one, robe first try! I was shocked to learn that it's selling for 35-40k on my server. (diabolos)
lv20+ melee can take him

Level 20+ should be okay for melee, he's a BLM so the only thing you have to worry about is when he uses Manafont and starts spamming nukes (you can't interrupt spells with hits when Manafont is active). Clear out the other orcs in the area so you don't get linked if you're that low level tho.
what lvl?
# May 17 2004 at 9:00 PM Rating: Decent
just wondering what lvl you should be before you can camp this guy.

I remember back when I was a lvl 37 samurai, I camped the beejesus out of this guy but only got the drop like 2 times.Made some decent money off of him but not enough for what I wanted, but oh well it bought my cooking skill up from lvl 20-30. ^.^

So just for kicks I went and camped this NM. I didn't have any expectations, just wanted to see if a lvl 32 blm/whm was enough to start fighting good NM's. I apparently got there just after a kill so I had to wait about 1 hour for it to respawn. I killed it (a lvl 36 pld was also camping it, sucker) and only got the wand. I left to send the wand to a mule to keep for other jobs and came back. That stupid NM didn't spawn for another 3 hours. Which was ok, because the pld and I got to talking. Also when he finally spawned (next to the pld) I got to kill him again and I got the robe. I guess it's all about patience and luck.

I'm sure this helps no one but I suggest keeping the room clear at all times and be patient. You could end up waiting 3 hours!! :)

spawn time
# May 09 2004 at 1:31 PM Rating: Decent
he seems to spawn on the hour, at 5 am game time, at least when I was trying to camp him

just clear out that small little sub-room of orcs and bats, to clear a spot for him to spawn, I spotted him twice, killed him once, and didn't get the drop, but the wand was a good enough windfall for a broke-*** galka who blew all his cash on copper ore and fire crystals.
