I only met this Goblin only once. He was in the room where you do the Solution To Doom quest: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=709.
He has a more hitpoints then the regular mobs in the room.

From my farming of him recently, it appears that he is at most a 12 hour respawn (I got him at 4am and then 4pm the next day). As of yet, i've been unable to check at the 6 hour interval to see if he could actually spawn 4 times a day.

edit: It doesn't seem to be exactly 12 hours. I killed him @ 4:40am last night and sat here from 4:15 to 4:45pm and he hasn't spawned. It may be a random give or take 30min?

Kommentar von Thottbot

As of version 1.81, he still exists and I killed him for the axe. Just that thott says he may no longer exist above ^^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

where is he? atlas is not listing him... is he outside the instance and spawns on a timer or is he inside?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found him twice, two lame boots.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is outside the instance, just found him.

Kommentar von Thottbot

But WHERE did you find him? Ive heard he is in North Common Hall and I've heard he is in a little room off to the side above that...where exactly is he?

Kommentar von Thottbot

He can be found in the south common room. He is standing in front of a stone bench surrounded by trogs. As far as i can reckon he spawns about once every 8 hours or so. Dropped the boots for me 3 times will try a couple more times though to get that helmet :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

He still exists. In the South Commons Hall 7/20/2006 3 p.m. CST. He dropped the blue BOE axe Shovelphlange's Mining Axe.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i've read about this guy and how he was rare, i was so excited to see him. killed and hoped he dopped the mining axe. bastard didn't drop anything. just some silk

Kommentar von Thottbot

He must spawn in multiple locations because I just found him in The Sealed Hall.

Dropped boots though :-(

Kommentar von Thottbot

were do i find him pls say were u have seen this guy.. i need both hes drop to my warior..
its a nice helm 7+ axes i wont miss any more :D
and nice dmg in main hand

Kommentar von Thottbot

There are 4 possible spawn locations of this guy. All are outside the instance of uldaman obviously.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i cant help but think that this guy is no longer a rare spawn, or if he is he has had his respawn time greatly reduced. i killed him twice in an hour while i was grinding outside the instance on my warrior.

Kommentar von Thottbot

yeah i saw his axe in AH and im really wanted it would be a good duel wit my shammy but anyways ive looked all through outside uldaman zone and all over inside instant havent seen him yet ill jsu have to keep lookin

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ive killed him twice. got boots once and helm once.

Kommentar von Thottbot

he's still there, spawns outside the instance. killed him twice in the last week, got the axe today.

he does spawn in different locations and from what I can tell he doesn't move about. He's very...creepy. Both times he was standing still and facing a wall like the dude at the end of The Blair Witch.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He spawned for me in a side room near the the large pit/ancient chest. He was alone and (luckily) dropped the axe. Easy solo as a 42 Pally. The "side room" he spawned in for me was the tiny dead-end cave near the large pit/ancient chest room...notin the room itself.

Good luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed him today in Ancient Treasure Room
Dropped lvl 33 BOP Leather Head
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9375/helm-des-goldgräbermeisters

Still checking his respawn time...

hope to get the axe too!

Kommentar von Thottbot

that's so retarded. he dropped the stupid boots.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He's in the South Common Hall just outside the instance. Found him today but he dropped the boots. XD

Kommentar von Thottbot

killed him once today he was in the small room with troggs next to the room with the instance entrance, dropped axe hehe, gonna sell it for 19 g BO on AH:p i never place things so expensive, my auctioneer first told me to sell it for 63 g BO but i think nobody buys that:p

Kommentar von Thottbot

Actively hunted this guy when i was 60 for cash for my epic mount, seems to respawn every 8 hrs or so (not exactly sure). Most groups entering Uldaman seem to drop straight down from near Hammertoe down to the instance portal, leaving the north and south common rooms where he often spawns untouched. Got the helm twice and the axe 3 or 4 times...and masses of the boots. The axe and helm both sell easily for 50g or so on my server (Bronze Dragonflight EU) to ppl twinking their 39s. Though I'm guessing he's gonna get a lot more activity now that the mobs outside the instance are no longer elite since 2.3.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I killed this guy earlier today and got his axe :). for me he spwaned in the roon off the the right side, the room just outside the instance and had a hell of a time doin it...he had like 5 or 6 troggs with him so yea.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have killed the digmaster three times in the last few days. The first time he wss mining in the Sealed Hall, the second time he was facing a wall in the dead-end room next to the Sealed Hall, and the Third time he was standing in front of the bench in the North Common Hall. All three times he dropped the Tromping Miner's Boots, and i pickpocketed him once and recieved the Worn Junkbox. Im not sure exactly how often he rezzes, but it is a long time. He is nowhere near as easy to kill as the Miner's, so bring your best!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lol i was finishin quests outside the instance yesterday an found him he dropped his helm got 40g for it

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been here for an hour looking for him, I checked the south common room, the sealed room and the dead end room inbetween them. There are no other locations outside of the instance with the green tile flooring, so I believe I've checked everywhere.

Annoyingggg =\ I want the helm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

...or does that helmet have 'Orc Hunters Only' stamped on it in big, bold letters?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It seems like very, very few people know about this guy (I mean, look at the kill count that Allakhazam has registered), so farming him isn't a problem. I haven't yet figured out his respawn time though. The easiest way to farm this guy for his nice BoE blues is just making a macro "/target Digmaster Shovelphlange".

I'll try to explain where he is. You enter the cave to the Uldaman front entrance. Pass Digsite One. Now, you're in a tunnel, at the end of the tunnel is a big hall with the entrance to Ulda. Instead of jumping down into the hall, stay high and follow the path a bit south. You'll see a tunnel leading left (south east), go into it. Now the tunnel splits up in two, take the left path (north east). And there you are, the Digmaster should be there together with 5 other elite mobs. They aren't linked though, so just kill them one at a time.

Getting to this guy is easy. At lvl 55 I could easily take on 5 of the elites at once, so chances you'll die are very small (if you're a high enough lvl of course).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He hits very hard, around 120 DMG on leather and he has got a very fast attack speed.

On my first kill I got the boots, on the second kill the axe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As of July 2008, he is still there. I hadn't noticed any recent post, and I was worried he might have been deleted when this part changed to non-elite mobs. Good news, he is a rare spawn, that is elite. He drops BoE blues, for your twink rougue or warrior. The stats are impoved expertise rating, ignore other people's post about improved axes. Happy hunting.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was doing quests outside the actual instance of Uldaman, and he happened to be there.

I killed him solo as a level 42 full Prot spec Warrior, and after feeding some nice shield slams to his face, he died and dropped the axe.

Was gona AH it but it was on it for such a cheap price, I just vendored it QQ.

What the heck is a samophlange?

Kommentar von norcal313

As of 10/25/2019 Digmaster Shovelphlange is still spawning at various locations inside the tunnels located just outside the Uldaman instance. I've killed him twice in the last couple days and he's dropped two of his assigned rare items. I located him in the North Common Hall once, and in a corner of the southwest-most small room once.

WARNING! If you are farming him, be careful of any Unique drops. Even if you do not equip them you can only carry one at a time! I got his axe to drop twice while farming him and I had to watch it disappear because I already had one, unequipped, in my inventory.

<Classic phase 2>

Soo after being told by everyone that going dual wield fury at lvl 30 ish is a bad idea, I had to find a way to prove them all wrong!
For science!

It seemed like the lack of hit was the problem, so I scoured Wowhead for hit items at such a low lvl and I found this man's helmet to be the only option.

Roamed the halls of Uldaman (outside the instance!) for a few days to get it on my main 60 priest.
First I had to find his spawns and I sort of found them here but a clear list would be:
1 - South common hall
2 - North common hall
3 - Sealed hall
4 - At the end of the short side tunnel next to the sealed hall

I found him 3 times, twice in a row at location 4 and the third time at location 2. It is hard to tell what the respawn timer is as my server is busy and people are constantly killing stuff there, I found him twice at about 8 in the morning.

He dropped his green boots twice and the third time I got the helm!

Got myself 2x Stalvans Schneide and Wirbelaxt and went 'a testin!

I got to an average dps of 73.25 for the WW axe and dinged... So I figured I had to restart -.-

So now I am a warrior at lvl 34
Tested it on centaurs in desolace with a max difference of 1 lvl, so lvls 33-35.
I started out arms specced (so I guess this favors the WW axe).
In both cases I used the same simple rotation:
Charge in - spam Heroic strike and hamstring once. Use overpower whenever possible. Keep Battle shout up always

Average dps while dual wielding: 81.36
Average dps with WW axe: 77.17

This warranted a respec in my eyes and I came back to try a fury dual wield session
Average dps while dual wielding: 84.40
Average dps with WW axe: 80.68

So the dual wield is about 4 extra dps
Mind this data is from about 20 mobs per dps test, which is not a whole lot.
But for now, for questing - I'm sticking to dual wield.

Kommentar von Pruttmuttan

So I camped him for some time and documented it. My data can confirm 10 - 14,5h respawn but my guess is that the respawn time is 10 - 16h or 10 - 18h. Might as well post my documentation:

Gl with the farm.

Kommentar von ItsRaMMi

Just got my Helm des Goldgräbermeisters and wanted to spread some information for everyone who wants to farm it:

In the official WoW Atlas book by Bradygames from 2005 (or 2006, not sure), Grubenmeister Schaufelphlansch is declared as Semi-Rare. The book tells us that Semi-Rare mobs have a spawn time of 10,5-16 hours.
As i documented my kills throughout my run, i can confirm 10,5-16h

My kills in order till a certain point

1.---5:00 Saturday morning,------------kill on spawn
2.---16:20 Saturday,-----------------------kill on spawn
3.---missed a kill- unknown timeframe,-------------i assume he spawned early morning, but was not killed instantly and stood for a bit
4.---2:00 monday, -------------------------late night/early morning, kill on spawn, camped him all day since sunday 12:15, so assuming a kill at around 10:00 sunday(3.)
5.---15:53 monday afternoon, --------not on spawn since i came from work, ran in and he was around
6.---7:11 Tuesday morning, ------------after i woke up logged in killed him, not on spawn
7.---23:45 Tuesday night, ---------------kill after spawn, logged in and out, max 45min between spawn and kill
8.---14:40 Wednesday afternoon, ---max. 10min after spawn, went afk for some minuts

-did not got him here for a few days since someone camped him a lot- ...and actually got the helmed too since it was on the auction house by that guy
after that, i had no consecutive kills but always knew the timeframe, that confirmed the 10,5-16h spawn time.

my tipp:
camp him hard till you see him spawn, kill him, set up a timer on your phone to 10h, so you have time to get there, and wait. so you "just" have to put in 6h of camping instead of potentially 16h. Stand/sit/dance/sleep in the right spot where you can tag him in any spawn location without moving, spam your macro. (

https://i.imgur.com/Mzbcsqr.jpg

link by Vigilance in the comments here) one spawn location is actually missing: in the cave to the right of where he stands in the screenshot. i never saw him spawn in the lower left hall but i assume he can spawn there too, since people saw Shovelphlange there.
------
/target digmaster
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 4);
------
script command tags him with the green triangle raid marker, so it's easier to see where he is. you wont be able to see through thick walls, but after you tag him with the marker you are able to see him easier when you enter one of the caves.

happy farming!

Kommentar von apolyne

4 kills so far over a 3 week period checking a couple times a day

no helmet. 4 pairs of boots. %^&* this dude

Kommentar von badfreddyboy

Took me 10 attempts in order to get his helmet wich is fairly spot on for his droprate, took me roughly 2 weeks with adhoc semi-afk camping. The other 9 times he dropped his stupid boots.
