These guys are in the King's room, behind him spread out against the curved wall. They will not attack or even turn around to face you so you can use them for PTR testing of dps cycles and procrates.

If you do not intend to kill any more mobs in the instance, I suggest un-equipping all your durability gear, since it will lose durability just for being in combat, although you're not getting hit. Once you attack one of these, you're put in combat, and since they can't die and inside an instance mobs don't de-aggro (except for evade), once you engage them you're in combat until you leave the instance.

Also note that since you are put in combat when attacking these guys, the game will never log you out. I left myself auto-attacking one of these dudes before I went out, and 3 hours later I come back still attacking (I thought after 30minutes it would just log me out) with my chat box filled with warning messages saying the game will log me out.

There are now training dummies easily accessible in major cities for testing DPS cycles. ~~Unlike Gordok Spirits, training dummies will NOT skill up weapons.~~

Great for the "Did someone order a knuckle sandwitch" Achievment!

I went in to Dire Maul North to skill up my unarmed skill aswell as 3 other weapon skills for "Master of Arms" achievement. Anyways I had the cresent key to open the instance door. Well inside I killed an Ogre just down the ramp and got a key. Then I ran left and opened a chest of some kind and got another key. Ran further west and used the key to open the locked door. Just continue to run until you get to the big round room at the end. While there DO NOT kill King Gordok. If you do you can´t attack the Gorok spirits.

i like that they say "I'll crush you!" all they do is stand there :)

You can also enter DM East, die, and then enter DM West or North as a ghost without having the key.

Though I'm sure this works great for leveling weapon skills, I decided to use this mob instead http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=21506#comments . It's a lot easier to access, in my opinion, and worked perfectly for me. Also, if for some reason you do need to repair there are close towns to repair at. This mob I think is a better alternative for leveling weapon skills.

Confirming that you still (the 4th of January 2009) can train your weaponskills on Gordok Spirits.
This will be useful for following achivements:

It's a great idea to get the Crescent Key yourself for the following achivement:

The Keymaster

You get the Crescent Key in Dire Maul East and it's required to enter Dire Maul North. Read about how to get this key in Phazz' guide.

I'm not sure if Blizz has any designs on fixing this, but as of today after the server maintenance, Jan. 6, this still works. Remember to unequip all of your items that lose durability before engaging these guys, because their aggro range is pretty large. As mentioned before, all armor, not just weapons, will lose durability over time, despite not being hit.

Kommentar von Atron

Just to remind everybody, despite the rumors intellect gear still helps leveling weapon skills. I raised weapon skills from 350-400 in under 10 minutes each with 438 int (as a rogue, bought some stuff on the AH). So if money is no concern, save yourself those hour-long sessions and just buy some intellect stuff, in addition to using fast weapons like the Dalaran Swords/Knuckles/Maces etc.

Kommentar von SharQueDo

Since 3.0.8, it is still possible to train weapon skills on these Gordok Spirits, but not anymore on Ambassador Hellmaw in Shadow Labyrinth.

Kommentar von 69073

Still works in 3.0.8a.

Kommentar von 244519

Still works as of 2/22/09, patch 3.0.9

Kommentar von 148619

Still works, 3.2.2009

Kommentar von oNiGHTo

still works as of 03/05/09. As a side note, as an 80 druid with no gear equipped, 222 int (w/motw), it took me 42 minutes to go from 399 to 400 unarmed weapon skill. >.<

Kommentar von Alma

I want to add that, if you accidentally get in combat with a gordok spirit before stripping down, all isn't lost. Get far enough away, alt-f4 out of wow, log in on an alt (in the same guild ideally; makes it easy to track via guild list) and just wait until your weapon trainee is completely logged out. Once they're no longer logged in, switch back to them, and you'll be out of combat and able to strip.

Happy training! :D

Still works 20-03-09

Took about 5-10 mins for 399-400 unarmed with 1000 intel

Kommentar von Spoonzilla

Don't know if this was a bug or if they changed it, but I was attacking these on 3/23/09 AFTER killing King Gordok (And still getting skill ups). I hadn't talked Mizzle the Crafty after killing the king though, don't know if that affected it?

Been beating on this guy with my staff at 399 skill for over an hour now...277 haste, 234 INT, 2.40 staff speed (2.25 with haste). And you CAN go AFK, though it won't be able to kick you out because it's not possible to log out while in combat. Oh and make sure you remove all you armor that has durability on it if you don't want it damaged, because just wearing it while in combat will reduce durability.

I've lost 40 durability on my staff as well, so far. (Ended up losing 74 durability total on my staff)

I'm thinking the INT thing still applies, unless it's just dumb luck that the guy with 1000 INT got it in 5-10 minutes.

2 hours now...

3 hours...

3 hours and 20 minutes to get from 399 to 400.... Now on to daggers!

Kommentar von 277135

3.1.0 and no longer works?

Kommentar von 29188

can confirm that as of 3.1 these no longer grant weapon skill =(

Kommentar von 182184

Grove Walkers (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=31228#comments) are now the best mobs for leveling weapon skills. As a warrior I was able to level all the way from 1-350 on one grove walker. Non-melee classes can most likely skill all the way to 400.

Kommentar von 85439

Tested just now (2009-05-03) with 3/400 Staves skill, no skillups after a minutes worth of swings, not even when I actually managed to hit it.

Kommentar von bronzeburn

I am not getting any skill-ups on these. Patch 3.1.2

Kommentar von evlyxx

But the question I would like answered is. What is the purpose of these mobs?

Kommentar von 142762

I'm a saaaaaaaaaaad panda. Now we have to actually do something to raise our weapon skill. What has the world come to?

Geist der Gordok
