Well, here's a recap:
Fiery Vambraces - camped King Room for 8 hours, got them in an hour, but didn't 
get the boots
Firewalker Boots - came back to King Room, waited for 4 hours while the TWO 
6-member groups killed everything in sight
Froon and Choon - waited until the 6-member group camping them didn't need any 
more runes
Basalt Carapace, Shin Greaves - waited at the top of Lower Guk until the 6-member 
group in the bedroom broadcast the drops
Mudwater Rune - cleared the arena-like area in preparation for pulling a Fanatic, 
but a soloing Warrior offered me the rune before I got around to yanking one
Shin Gauntlets - earned them in a 6-member party pulling froggies to the zone 
(lots of fun - we were offing more than one a minute).  LOTS of Gauntlets 
littered the ground that night!
It should be possible to get to the loot areas for any of these things using 
Clouding, and they were so well-camped that I can't imagine anyone dying.  Not 
much of a challenge.  Like I said, though, I only get to play on weekends, when 
there are a LOT of people on.  (When I was in the King Room waiting for the 
boots, we got a broadcast congratulating us on breaking the record for the number 
of people on the server at one time, if you get the idea..)
