First off, I would like to say that I have killed this little b****** (I didn't want to cuss, but that's honestly the only way to describe this OTD). I did it as a 32 healer, and it wasn't much of a problem. Coal is a named Ashmonger that will eventually appear. I've probably camped here on 4 separate occasions for no less than 3 hours each time (Don't believe me? Check out the post I left on the Ashmongers). Coal finally appeared about 8 AM at about 31900, 5050. The area he spawns in is fairly consistent. There is a group of 3-4 Ashmongers to the east that is the higher level group, a group of 3 Ashmongers to the west that is the lower level group, and one Ashmonger who pops on the south side by the edge. I stood in the middle of both groups with my back against the wall and just pulled in the Ashmongers trying to get Coal to pop. When he finally did pop, he was green. I believe he popped along with 2 grays and another green. When I pulled Coal, the Green baffed as well, but since the other 2 were gray, I don't know if they would have baffed or not. I wish all of you on the hunt for Coal good luck.
Safe Travel,
