Ancient Cyclops
Currently approaching hour 21 in South Ro camping an ancient cyclops for JBoots quest. Statistically he should spawn at least once every 5 hours (10% chance). Also, occasionally a spawn will skip the cycle. The timer is also off, it is taking several minutes longer than the actual time on EverQuest (30.6666666666 minutes) ancient cyclops loop took to spawn.
I've seen Sandgiant Husam more times that I can count, gained almost an entire level, and made 1k solely off of Sand Giants, and before anyone says anything stupid like 'kill the undead in the tower' or whatever else...Prathun spilled the beans a while ago about how AC works. Straight up 30.6~ spawn timer on the Sandgiant Husam loop. If P99 isn't set up the same way, well then it just isn't classic EQ now is it? | ||

He can only spawn at night, did you know this? The 30.6 spawn timer is almost dead on here, and I can attest to this(I would set timers and log back in to have it spawn perfectly). I have spent hours and hours at that camp and have seen AC spawn. Also I don't believe Husam is a PH for him on here:

He's named in the description, not in the actual spawn table. And no, its not off by a lot. Like I said I had that shit on lock down for at least 4 hours(just 1 session, I had probably 5 or 6 in SRO) and he spawned correctly each time. If you think its the incorrect time, then you are not doing the camp correctly.
3 mobs all spawn at the same point on that hill. The one with a 30.6 respawn timer is the correct PH. I also never saw the PH skip a cycle.

I also don't understand your math. Depending on the actual day/night hours on this server, which is stated to be 7am to 9pm at least in Kithikor(stated by a dev), you would have 1 10% chance every hour at the AC. How should he spawn at least every 5 hours?

It's not been messed with, your luck matches your attitude. =)

You need to start over IMO. Let everything respawn, all 3 mobs. Then kill them all relatively back to back if possible. The last one to spawn, which will take 30-31 minutes, is the correct PH. I have seen multiple ACs on here, have you?

I think he lacks the understanding of stats, lets say it is 10% just because you killed him 9 times doesn't mean he will spawn that 10th time. Each kill and 10% spawn chance is a separate event. Such as flipping a coin, just because you get 10 tails in a row doesn’t mean you’re anymore likely to get a heads on that 11th flip, it’s still 50/50.

He also cannot read that well. Or count. Poor guy.
