This information is absolutely not what I have experienced.
The alchemist in Misty is NOT in the closest camp to Runny Eye. When Runny
is behind you, it is the camp you see straight and to the right (south I
think). Only one tent there. 2 goblins spawn very quickly. And every 20
minutes, a third goblin spawns right inside the tent. It is NOT a one hour
and a half spawn. It can be a warrior, a shaman, Mooto most of the time, OR
the alchemist. This one will begin to wander by the other camps if you wait
too long, so don't wait to kill it.
That one took me 10, then 12, then 5 hours.
The alchemist in the gorge is, indeed, very rare. But it is not a once a
week spawn. It can spawn twice in a day, and 2 or 3 times a week as far as I
know. I missed it 3 times for 5 minutes, I have been there for 5 server
reboot, but never got it that way. A server reboot is not an automatic
success. The spawn rate is NOT 2-4 hours. It is between 72 and 80 minutes.
Right in front of the fork by Runny Eye zone, you have 2 spots for goblins.
One to the left, and one at the middle. The middle spot is the correct spot.
There you have 2 goblin spawns AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT. One every 6 minutes,
and one every 72-80 minutes (the good one). I usually waited til I could see
both, then I killed them and I could time it precisely. Goblins at this spot
will wander a little, but they always come back. Their path is not very
long.
That one took me 180+ hours. But don't worry, it is usually something like
30 hours. I was just VERY unlucky.

1st point:
The alchemist in misty spawns at teh goblin camp closest to the running eye
zone. ordinarily there are 2 goblins at this camp, but ever hour and a half
or
so a 3rd goblibn pops - either Mooto or the alchemist. Mooto and the
alchemist
are the only ones you need to kill. But somepeople kill the other two to
pass
the time.
NOTE: this is the easier of the two alchemists to get. The one in the gorge
is
*VERY* rare. If I were you I would take advantage of the server reset and
head
to the GOrge as soon as you wake up! The misty thicket alchemist will pop
about
once every 2-4 hours. The one in the gorge is rumored to be a once a week
guy....
