I thought this event was fun, but it did have me quite frustrated for a while. I had to do the event four times to win it :bonk: , but I learned quite a bit in the process and thought I would share my findings with the Druids Grove.
I did not find all the posted shadowstep points in the checklist to be accurate (see http://eq.thedruidsgrove.org/epic/druid1.5-2.html). I can confirm that there is a hider who pops in and out at location -500 -500 where there is a Vee in the landscape. He pops in and out at the center of that Vee. However, the real hider never appeared for me at that point. I did, however get lucky.
Armed with the belief that Sony has a cruel streak and loves mountain tops :eek: , I bound myself at +2445 +323 +680, yes at the very top. A goblin hider spawns at the beginning of the event and , as as luck would have it, he can be tracked from that location almost evey time. Much later in the event, it seems that more hiders spawn, although it may just be that more become trackable from that location, but I digress.
If you move to location +3100 +822 and face east, you will see a very small crevice between two rocks. The real hider will pop in and out from this location. When I finally did get him, he popped at that loc. I aggro'd him, got the msg and started killing him :duel2: . While I was fighting him, another hider popped between the rocks so be sure to pull him back a bit when you aggro him so you dont get two.
You have to kill him before he gates so dots can be bad :nono: . On my third attempt, I had heavily dotted him and he shadowstepped at 3 % health and died. I was really pissed after I searching far and wide only to never find the corpse :banghead_ .
I hope that this is helpful.
Warm regards to all,
