My brother and I spent the last few days in Mt. Collory and we would go by the valley every night looking for Anord. Every night it was the same thing: no Anord. Finally, we were leaving the curmudgeon camp and made a swing through the valley on the way back to Druim Cain. Again, no Anord, so we started killing everything, expecting another fruitless night. We had two yellows on us when, at 4am, a blue Anord came charging in from behind. We took him down easily.
The shield, while nice, is not that big a deal to either of us as we have better equipment. It is a small shield, so I'll keep it if I ever start a druid.
Still, it was a moral victory. We were just pumped to finally see the little twerp. He is a very rare spawn, so consider yourself lucky if you encounter him.
I have never seen this guy and have looked for months. It's almost a hobby for me now. I camp this spawn with my lvl 50 warden just wanting to get a look at Anord.
