Talk:Ghial the Bone Dancer

Discussion
SoC confirmed --Gares Redstorm 09:33, 10 June 2006 (CDT)

There are two pages for this boss, one with and one without a comma after his first name, someone should find out which is correct and then delete the other entry &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hrothgar (talk &bull; contribs) 10:25, 15 May 2006 (CDT).


 * According to my SoC, without the comma is correct. -- Dashface [[Image:User_Dashface_Sig.png]] 06:12, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

Umm, can someone explain this, i followed the map on the page, and the door was blocked off, wtf? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.209.211.30 (talk &bull; contribs) 18:43, 14 June 2006 (CDT).
 * Have you finished the Nahpui Quarter mission yet? --Gares Redstorm 18:58, 14 June 2006 (CDT)

I cant get the ghial's staff
How come i keep killing him but he wont drop the staff how do i get it then? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.6.89.61 (talk &bull; contribs) 13:05, 20 June 2006 (CDT).
 * The drop rate isnt 100%, the chance are always slim and if you have people or henchmen with you, the chance is even smaller.--Aratak 13:06, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * then wat is the percent rate? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.6.89.61 (talk &bull; contribs) 13:24, 20 June 2006 (CDT).
 * The drop rate is unknown. --Rainith 13:51, 20 June 2006 (CDT)


 * There is an urban myth that says that Ghial must be killed within 45s of his aggro. Members of my guild have noticed that indeed whenever they had dropped it, it was when they managed to finish him off quite fast. Could it be officially checked ? SmegEd 14:36, 19 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Firstly, having other players, henchmen or heroes in your party is not proven to have ANY bearing on drop rates. This is itself an "urban myth" I suspect. Secondly, guildies of mine have killed him in over 45 secs and still received the staff. Fox Bloodraven 15:34, 19 December 2006 (CST)


 * I beg to differ, having hench does affect drop rates of ALL items. And having other people in your group means they may get the item instead of you. -Penumbra


 * I've soloed him over 20 times, but he didn't dropped his staff. And I've killed him whitin 20 seconds nearly all times, so it's not that myth. Is the drop rate very low, or am I very unlucky? Sir Bertrand 11:54, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

yeah you are unlucky lol.. and because of the new update there is a thing called loot scaling.. you are just as likely to get a drop with a party as you are solo

flesh golem
how come i cant get the flesh golem form ghial the bone dancer? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.6.89.61 (talk &bull; contribs) 13:26, 20 June 2006 (CDT).
 * Not sure I understand you. You cant cap it?  Its not the same elite?  And please sign you comment with --~ or with the signature tool over this window.--Aratak 14:12, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

you need to buy capture signet from a skill trainer.. then after you have killed this boss use it and you can cap golem

15 Death Magic
If this information is needed, the boss has 15 Death Magic, because his Animate Flesh Golem creates a level 25 minion. - Greven 17:13, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Although that may be the result of his use of his +1 staff; his Death Magic attribute could therefore be only 14 Fox Bloodraven 04:09, 4 January 2007 (CST)

This build is garbage
Its trash and it doesnt work. I hate you.
 * I'm pretty sure it does work, about 10 have made it work, plsu screenshots O.o Maybe you just suck? &mdash; Skuld 05:38, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

adding builds to boss page
I was wondering why build pages are linked to, from boss pages, most solo builds are generic and can be used else where. Especially the sliver monk. Are we adding all solo builds to all bosses now? 210.50.81.49 00:19, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

Well, you might as well link Ghial to Ghial Farmer, and the Silver 55 was made specifically for Ghial farming ;-) -DaMan 20:56, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

Dropped items
The Scroll of Hero's Insight was removed from the items dropped list... Why? He drops them fairly often, as I know from farming his sorry green a** LoL 89.240.226.22 08:15, 21 December 2006 (CST)
 * From Style and formatting/Bestiary:

Items Dropped

List items that are dropped by this creature in alphabetical order. The general rules for what is and isn't listed are:
 * Weapons - No, don't list (the exceptions are Unique items, and weapons only dropped by that species like the Magmas Shield for titans)
 * Crafting materials - Yes, list common and rare crafting material drops (but only list the ones that you yourself have actually seen, do not make assumptions and don't necessarily believe what the Prima Guide says)
 * Collectable drops - Yes, list
 * Gold - No, just about everything will drop that
 * Dye - No, see Gold
 * Scrolls - No, see Gold
 * Salvage Items - Yes, see Crafting materials for rules
 * Unique items - Yes, mark them with (Unique); don't use the green template
 * Quest items - Yes, note in parenthesis if the item only drops when the quest is active
 * Keys - No, those have a small chance of being dropped by any creature in the area that the keys are used

ZOMG
Approached his group, and three characters were just dead. Like. Instantly. Full bar, then no bar. Just dead. I did hear a thud though... Wonder what it was...  NERF? BAD GAME DESIGNER! NO COOKIE!


 * Are you refering to Orosen and his incredibly powerful Channel thing? Because Ghial doesn't have any skills that could do that kind of damage.--Warwulf 20:18, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Vizunah Square
After seeing vizunah square being next xaquang skyway on its map,I figured I could reach ghial from there,however everytime I thought there was a path it was blocked off by a building or wall.Is it possible to reach ghial from vizunah square or any other place than senji's corner.If not,is there a way to reach senji's corner without doing the nahpui quarter mission.
 * Pretty sure you have to do Nahpui Quarter first. --NYC Elite 16:43, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * After you've done Nahpui Quarter, though, you can get to him pretty easily through Budek Byway. I'll put a map up, but basically, you end up pretty close to Ziinfaun Lifeforce, but with careful maneuvering you can get around him and go straight foir Ghial.  Much easier than going all the way through Xaquang.  Kyroth Vyzaltar, Silver Flame Avatar 13:26, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
