soloed with my 42 feral druid, he wanders the alterac ruins, i waited him outside the castle and killed him; very easy elite.

Commento di RogueJedi86

Patrols between the basement of the Keep(36,55) to in front of the Town Hall(40, 47), and back. He takes 2 minutes, 10 seconds to walk from the Keep's Basement to Town Hall, and 2 minutes to return to the basement, for those interested in the details of timing. He spends 30 seconds in the basement before he leaves, if he isn't attacked.

Fairly easy for a 35 Prot Paladin to solo, assuming you have some way to deal with the crazy respawns. Had him to about 100 health (and I was in much better shape) before a couple of Horde felt sorry for me and finished off the four adds I was tanking. Like with all casters, the hard part is staying alive 'til his mana's gone, then he just autoattacks. No heals or anything funny like that.

Grel'borg the Miser walks on a specific route.He goes to the Keep's basement too,so it might be a good idea to face him there because he's all alone.
Soloed him as a 39 lvl rogue.Used 1 bandage (while i had blinded him) one health potion and the Cold Blood ability which actually saved me.

Abilities

Rain of Fire - Calls down a fiery rain, doing damage to everyone in the area of effect. This is a channeled ability.
Bloodlust - Increases attack speed by 30% for 30 seconds.
Quick Flame Ward - Grants immunity to fire spells for 10 seconds.

Commento di Devinicus

Absolutely mauled him as a level 40 elemental shaman.

He hits like an old woman with polio if you can interrupt his spells, also, his Bloodlust can be dispelled/purged, which makes him fodder even for priests.

Commento di 116292

Wiped the floor with him as a 40 Ret. Pally. At that level, your aggro range is small enough to keep you from getting ganked by mobs.

Commento di 132303

As a lvl 43 druid I prowled into the Ruins of Alterac, in the castle where Grel'borg roams in the service of Mug'thol. I prowled the whole castle tracking him on my humanoid tracker without aggroing one Ogre.

I followed him outside, where he does a short walk away from the castle and back in again. I killed the Ogre guarding the door and waited for Grel'borg to come out of aggro range of the other Ogres outside the castle.

It was a medium difficulty solo, but I am healer specc'd, and was able to keep him held in entangling roots long enough to eat away his HP. Finally, when my mana was tapped out from using HoTs and ranged offensive magics, I was able to use cat form to finish him off. Never once aggro'ing any ogres in the vicinty and prowling again before the Ogre at the door respawned and came to get me. :D

I might also add, I'm not a gamer and I have only been playing WoW for 8-ish weeks.

Commento di rgc421

Soloed with little difficulty as a 35 Affliction Warlock. Just clear a few so you can pull him solo, then drag him to the corner behind the town hall building.

Curse of Weakness, Corruption, Siphon Life, Immolate, then health funnel big blue. Repeat. You could also drain off his mana, but it regens fast so no point really.

Commento di dimon7777

ez moade as 39 lvl retri pala. just kite him into the Targ's house and kill him

Commento di 142549

just ran into him as a 38 arms warrior. chucked a couple sunders on him n away he went. he oom'd after a few rain of fires.

Commento di 102951

Just downed him by accident. I was killing Targ together whit a lvl 37 human pala A lvl 37 night elf druid(me) and a lvl 38 ORC warrior ( he thought he tapped Grel'Borg lol and by accident he helped us). He passed us and started to attack. I dont remember much of it but i know that it was TOTAL CHAOS! How ever it was fun to kill a elite with a orc (and i got the tiara :D).

Commento di 55689

Soled 39 shaman. Quite easy too, no potions used. Just take out some mobs around first, so you don't get ambused while fighting ;)

Commento di Hinahina

Very easy for a level 38 Mark Hunter to solo. Viper his Mana down and then just tank and spank with your pet. Zero threat, just make sure you're not too badly down in HP after massacring Warmonger's.

Commento di 136336

solo'd by a level 40 ms warrior i am a dranei though so i put up gift of naaru but i started fight at 70% health really easy if you can do lots of burst damage, ummm.... i did interupt his spells idk y but hes a really easy fight

Commento di 181741

where is he?

Commento di Aceed

Easycake to solo as frost mage, done him both level 37 and level 41. First time without ice barrier, just spamming bolts, novaing and kiting him around. Second time nuking him down with barrier up (inside keep, he co-aggroed with two others so I took him last).

Also note that his melee attacks are worthless. Hits for like 90 on clothie.

Commento di 95291

Killed him as level 37 Shadow Priest, for fun. Just keep the DoTs and your bubble up and you will be fine. When he dos Rain of Fire run away and let him do it. His a peace of cake.

Commento di 188910

yes i first ran into this mob during winter veil 2008 and he does patrol through the southern portion of the ruins of alterac. hes the bane of level 30 solo questers as hes elite and about 5x more powerful than all the other mobs

Commento di 293041

I soloed as a level 38 ret pala it was easy cause i got full Scarlet set + Ravager so he was an easy fight

Commento di 297262

Soloed as a lvl 38 rogue, very quick and easy battle. Catch him in the basement, stealth and garrote from behind. Used evasion and lifeblood (Herbalism) and one health potion during the battle. Just kept hittin him with sinister strike then eviscerate after 5 combo points. Kind of bummed out about only getting 8 silver from him, was hoping for something green.

Commento di 121904

Does anyone know respawn time for this NPC?

To answer my own question: Not very long. I was running through the area outside of the basement of the Keep and he respawned less than 10 minutes after I had killed him. After killing him 3 times I got a green drop, the rest was just $.

For a huge, two headed, shammy, ogrey elite, he's pretty wimpy. :D

Commento di Ebonii

Just soloed him as a 40 holy priest. Dealt with an add as well. Just kept myself healed with Holy Nova.

Not very elite, is he?

Commento di 345811

I also found him in the basement, he spawned up my * * *,hehe.
He was lv 39 when i found him today.
Not hard to kill as a Blood Elf Paladin (Holy).
watch out when doing this in a group, he will AoE you ;)

Commento di 42051

As long as you don't stand in the AoE as he casts it, he's pretty much tanking himself for the duration of the channel, as he won't cancel it regardless if anyone's in it or not. Avoid interrupting the AoE, even if you can't damage him without standing in it's a good time for bandages or heals, if you need it.

Commento di 134105

Soloed him as a 36 holy paladin—much easier than I expected.

I recommend waiting for him in the basement (36,55) as there is no worry of adds and still plenty of room to move around him. The aforementioned tip of running behind him when he casts his AoE works like a charm.

Commento di Ardal

One of the few unnerfed mobs from Vanilla/BC WoW.

Commento di 401714

just soloed him with a 38 warrior, He didn't drop anything!

Commento di 438574

Downed him solo at level 34, as a BM Hunter (Pet: Level 34 Wind Serpent)

Fun fight. Got him in the basement of the castle, used Viper Sting to drain his mana, kept Mend Pet up. Really basic tactics, actually.

Commento di badassnewbie

This guy's a joke.

All ranged classes with any sort of snare can kill him because he practically roots himself in place when he does rain of fire. Just move a couple inches and keep on shooting him.

Commento di Zeebs

I only got a couple silver from him. What a penny pincher. :[

Commento di 460347

Despite being elite he's quite easily solo'd.
Just watch out for his rain of fire and surrounding ogres.

Commento di 489166

Easy kill. Soloed as a lvl 36 Rogue in mostly blues. Simple stunlock and evasion, bandaged while he did Rain of Fire. Didn't get below 50% hp. Remember to stay away from adds, had to Vanish after looting.

Commento di Thottbot

Where he is is accurate but if anyone kills him befor you then you have a long wait.

I spent around an hour killing things around keeping my eye out with tracking (50 Hunter) and he eventually turned up for some idiot to hit him befor i did - going back to it now hoping he will be back - mission sucks in general!

Commento di Thottbot

I just got him, totally unexpectedly by myself. I'ma 43/hunter. I was doing the Crushridge warmongers, and was in the alterac ruined castle, getting all the warmongers in the corners of the uppermost barricades. You can run across the roof up there, so I was standing there scouting out the best way to leave rather than fight back down through the whole castle. Grel'borg materialized right beneath me walking out the castle towards the city, and there weren't any other enemies right near the gate, so I just jumped down behind him and started attacking. He wasn't that strong or tough, I think the trick is just to catch him without any adds, and from what I can tell none really patrol that spot right in front of the castle entrance.

Commento di Thottbot

Soloed with my level 41 druid, not even hard... Killed 2 ogres out of disturbing my last kill, then just lured the Miser there, away from the other mobs. Healing spells weren't for nothing, though... So as a rogue or sumthing, I'm not so sure if it can be pulled...

Commento di Thottbot

Just finished this guy off, and instead of dropping the star, i got some silver and hog shank....

....

Commento di Thottbot

Thsi is the first part that I did and did relitively easy as a 45 Pally. Took a bit of time but not hard.

Commento di Thottbot

I was able to get this first time, after reading all the hints on Thottbot.. I waited at the gates and then followed a Horde group in, staying back until they had happily cleared the path. Unfortunately they had also killed Miser.. but I was then able to hang around, the ruins dodging the respawns, until Miser came out of the castle finally. He is a magic guy, so I was able to quickly curse him with tounges and then just threw everything at him, and my imp, as he has the highest fire power of my pets. The horde were still running around killing the other ogres, so it allowed me to take him down, to my last breath, and dead imp, but he dropped the Tiara first time. The percentage of times he drops it is 50/50 when ur level 38, gets down to 17% when you are over 42. Wasn't easy, but Warlocks can take down elite magic guys, their armour isn't great.

Commento di Thottbot

I'm a lvl44 lock. Was hunting Grel'borg for the "The Star, The Hand and The Heart" quest. I did the Grel'borg part solo. After working my way cautiously up to the school I had staked out a good spot for myself in a ruined building. I was about to engage a Mage when I noticed what I thought to be a patrol coming my way. I switched attention ot this rover, siced my void on him and hit him with agony and corruption. I let the pet and dot's bring him to half health when I refreshed agony and corruption and added immolate to the mix then I started sending in the shadowbolts. He went down really quick for alvl 39 elite. You can imagine my surprise when I looted the corpse and found the wuest item on him. Didn't even realize he was the mob I needed! Woot!

Commento di Thottbot

I had to kill a few orges and work my way back to the castle and as soon as I saw him I was ganked. So when I came back I just worked my way into the castle and found him after maybe 15-20 mins.

Commento di Thottbot

Finally tracked him down, and killed him. However, I got two separate quest drops off of him!

Besides the Star, I got the Perenolde Tiara - I had forgotten that I even had that quest. Very convenient - two quests in one.

NOTE: He is easiest to find in the castle itself. You can wait in a corner near the front door, and follow him out (if you are a rogue).

Commento di Thottbot

I was reading laughingvergil's reply about how he found Grel'borg right outside the castle and decided to do the same...as a 45 tank I solo took out each ogre in the area in preparation but when I got the last of the area guards (the one right on the entrance ramp to the castle) down to half health, all of a sudden I realized there was a red-painted caster at his side to help him. I took out the already damaged ogre, popped a heal pot, and then beat what turned out to be the objective npc. So it sounds to me like the area nearest the castle is the ideal ambush area.

Commento di Thottbot

If you can stealth you can follow him to the cellar of the castle where he will be alone. Easy kill for druid or rogue... but you need to be able to stealth past the Warmongers.

Commento di Thottbot

i was atl tabbed to this page reading. im like ho go to that castle, alt tab back, /tar grel and he walks right out of the caslt to greet me. hes a easy but fun fight for a 44 war. get out of the fire lol. alt tabbed back to almost death >.>

Commento di Thottbot

There's an easier way of reaching the castle if you turn right before the road forks. You can go over the walls to the big castle on your map. Go behind the castle, and around, and wait near the entrance.

I cleared the area where I would fight Grel'borg. I saw him come out about every 20 seconds or so. He doesn't wander far, and I imagine he doesn't go too deeply in the castle from the frequent times I saw him come out.

How I found him: I used a macro and clicked it every now and then (target /grel). Basically, he's the only mage-looking ogre that's walking from the castle.

In my opinion, he was easier to kill than the surrounding ogres.

Done as a 39 priest.

Commento di Thottbot

any1 with coords for spawnpoint?

Commento di Thottbot

seems to spawn in the main ground floor room of the castle which is 36,54

Commento di Thottbot

Aye the exact chords for the spawnpoint is 36,54 at the basement of the Warmonger Castle =]

Commento di Thottbot

Killed him as a 43 mage...piece of cake. He doesn't hit hard, has low hp and casts rain of fire, which gives you 10 sec of free hits.

Must be easily soloable from lvl 38, except for the ogres surrounding him..

Commento di Thottbot

I killed him as a level 39 mage, It was EXTREMELY EASY, and the place he is found is PERFECT for leveling once your level 38, PERFECT!

Commento di Thottbot

I accidentally aggroe'd this guy with my 38 rogue, right after killing a 36 ogre. This mob was relatively easy to kill. I assume that's because of my character's level.

Commento di Thottbot

was a lvl 70 warrior, just doing this for fun, but it soon got borring coz i couldent find him -.-' then when i was ready and turned the wow window back on the guy was attacking me....... hmmmmm! where was he when i looked for him?

Commento di Thottbot

I owned him with my 40 rouge while i saped the guy beside him... very easy kill.

Commento di Thottbot

this guy has a dragon around his face symbol, but did not drop anything special, I guess he is not a rare spawn as it is made to be.

Commento di Thottbot

This guy is not hard at all. Although I don't how any of you are getting the quest drops. He spawns like every 5 minutes. Killed him about 15 times already and he still havn't dropped the quest item I need.

Commento di Thottbot

Just went in as lvl 40 moonkin and blasted his face off. This is seriously easy quest... Even for a druid...

Commento di Thottbot

Soloed as a shaman-38 ... not hard as long as you don't draw any of the surrounding Enforcers.

Keeps respawning and respawning, quite farmable though his good stuff doesn't drop very often. Watch out for him when you're battling the warmongers and plunderers near the entrance to the keep in doing the Mog'Thal quest ... he has a way of spawning nearby or on top of you and becoming a very troublesome add (that may be his reason for existence).

Commento di Thottbot

Soloed as a 40 gnome rogue. Got another ogre mage as an add, but i killed him first.

HIS PATH of patrol is from the basement in the castle, to the schoolhouse-looking building to the northeast. He walks right in front of the schoolhouse so, if u can, pull him into it and fight him (so u don't get any wandering ogres on you) and can run to the other room and range him when he AoE's (Don't go into the main room, theres a 40 guy in there. Might wanna take him out 1st. He's no longer an elite). Hope this helps =)

Commento di Thottbot

eh, killed him 4 times now, nothing decent dropped, not even more money or more loot (a few silk, 3silver)

all in all not much harder to kill than a normal mob around the area (even though they seem very easy to kill 39 ret pally)

Commento di Thottbot

As a lock just drain tank it, I did at lvl 37, DPS with succubus.

Commento di Thottbot

yes i am bragging, 35 mage done killed this guy easy cake
i used icy veins, evo when he did his rain of fire and 1 mana agate that wasn't even nessesary, ---No cold snap---
wasn't even hard

Commento di Allakhazam

I was drinking under the portcullas of the fort when grelborg came up behind me so I guess he patrols in there. And he was just a normal looking orge with red tattoos. He wasn't blue or 2 headed.

Commento di Allakhazam

39.48

Commento di Allakhazam

yep, red shorts, two heads.

Commento di Allakhazam

He is nowhere to be found. Been scouting Alterac Ruins for over 60mins now and killed 3 other named ogres but cant find him. Been here so long i even managed to buy two Frost Oil recipes o.O

Droped Jaina's Firestarter

Commento di Allakhazam

Was sitting outside where Targ spawns inside the church and this putz came at me. Killed him and he dropped some green. Thought he was a rare spawn but guess I was just lucky.

Commento di Allakhazam

For all those looking for him, he now looks like an ordinary ogre mage. Here's a screenshot I took of him earlier today:

Commento di Allakhazam

He has red trunks and 2 heads, end of story.

Commento di Allakhazam

I was doing the Tiara quest on my 35 resto shaman, and had not to much trouble killing this guy. All there is to it is just Purging his Bloodlust and Flame Ward and Earth Shock his Reighn of Fire. I did have to use all my cooldowns and a Greater Mana Potion, but made it. ^^ oh, he was level 39 when I killed him. crits for about 127 and normal hits are about 50. Oh, and if you are not able to heal yourself and interrupt his spells, bring a heal able player with you, or a lot of potions and other things that can help you.

Commento di Allakhazam

I found him at 40.47

Commento di Allakhazam

I love this guy finish the perenolde tiara quest get 1.5 g and 4700 xp and a third of that huge Star, the hand and the heart quest. And he was an easy kill to boot

Commento di Allakhazam

This guy paths out of the castle and roams around.I pull all the mobs in the area to the wall right beside the enterance to the castle and wait for him to path by.He isnt any harder than the others in my opinion.Killed him like 20 times and hasnt dropped crap for me,not even a green item.Great exp if your looking to grind some.

Commento di Allakhazam

so anyone know where to collect the items ?

Commento di Allakhazam

this guy looks like a normal mage... and it doesn't have 2 heads
this picture is old
he walks between townhall and castle

Commento di Allakhazam

he is no longer blue. he looks like a normal 2 headed caster now

Commento di Allakhazam

I was doing The Crown of Will quest, and was just killing the next 1 in line . . . turned out to be this guy, hadn't bothering even checking the name of yet another two-headed caster type. My LW Tauren hunter is very happy; the miser gave it up and dropped the Swift Boots Pattern I had been needing for a few days now.

Commento di Allakhazam

He dropped this: Swiftwind me when I killed it.

Commento di Allakhazam

You get the star off the Ogre boss.... I found him in front of the castle door in Alterac Ruins. All the mobs around him are elite.

Commento di Allakhazam

ok well go up into alterac ruins and i found him walking around 36,54 he looks like a mage red speedo yellow/cream body just look out for his name cos mages have 2 heads aswell.
got 4700xp for this at lvl 40
well worth it.
Tissue. (look out for me on my spotty mount! =D)

Commento di Allakhazam

dont mean to be racist :P but grel is not blue he is a creamy colour well when i found him he was so dont just look for a blue guy cos chances is you wont find him :P

Commento di Allakhazam

he was creamy colour, red speedo when i found him as well. he was wandering right thru the middle of the ruins, outside

Commento di Allakhazam

as of 2008-06-02 the mob is not blue anymore, he looks like all the others, especially as the mages with red details.. =)

Commento di Allakhazam

I found him wandering right in front of castle, he did have red trunks, cream coloured skin and he was sporting 2 heads.

Edited, Sat Mar 11 22:46:19 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

I was really lucky, I found him straight away, killed him and left without running into the any other elites. He came out of the big building. Two heads and red pants

Commento di Yuzolain

respawn time ~6 minutes, spawns in the basement of the castle 35, 54 in the ruins of alterac

Commento di foredahorde

I only received one hog shank, one silver and 80 copper from killing him - would have expected a little more from an elite!

Commento di Yorkville

Grel'Borg spawns in the basement of the Barracks @ 37,53 he then paths up the stairs and out the front of the barracks.
I'm not sure where his path goes after this point.

He's about as tough as a non-elite Ogre, I had very little difficulty doing this as a 44 druid during the first SoM.

Commento di ricmortis

He snuck up on me right after I finished off a Warmonger at 36.4,53.7 entrance and I was in need of mana as a Lvl 37 Retribution Pally. Fortunately, I had a mana potion. He doesn't hit too hard and I was able to finish him off with zero mana and 150 hit points left. Came down to the wire.

Commento di xLunacyx

Caught him down the road from the barracks. 36 priest was easy solo, didn't even need to heal, only has about 3600 hp.
'/tar Grel' to check for him

Grel'borg the Miser
