NPC Spawn Issue: Ancient Cyclops in Sro

Unfun · #1 11-19-2010, 12:49 AM

Camping the AC in sro and the spawns don't appear to be working correctly from my previous experience with this camp.

1. Theres only two spawns occurring on the walking path. From my experience there should be three. I believe the 3rd one is the AC spawn (2)

2. Nothing is spawning for the AC PH. I know this because the two spawns here are spawning 6-10 mins and 20 mins. The ac spawn should be every 30.6666 mins. To verify again, I've killed both pathing mobs at 11am and something spawns at 1pm and then 4pm gametime but nothing at 9pm.

Not trying to debate the rarity of the AC or complain about waiting. The spawns just seem off to me and I just want to check to make sure its working correctly.

Thanks

On this server, or Live?

Semi-related things to consider:
1) Learn exactly what is considered night hours
2) If you already know what isn't the AC placeholder, why mess with them unless you really want the sand giants?

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant my experience with the camp on this server. In fact, I am comparing it to how I've seen the camp function (and the AC spawn) a few days ago.

I've read that post you linked and thats the basis or why I think the spawns are messed up, unless I'm missing something...

1) I am going off of this:

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?

Thats why I killed the ph at 11 and thus it would respawn at night (9pm).

2) Good point. One of the spawns was a dervish cutthroat so I wans't entirely sure if it was the AC ph or not. Some people who were there before me told me they had similar problems with the spawn.

Thanks for the response though, just trying to figure out if something is up.

Night is 8pm, at least in Kithicor. I've had my arse handed to me more than I liked getting Honeycombs from Bixies.

I was camping him for some time last night and it seemed his spawn time had lowered to ~21 minutes as well, but the other two were there normally spawning at 6 min.

I was camping AC in sro for a few hours the other day.

There's only 2 PH's on the walking path. One is on a 6 minute timer and the other is on a 20 minute.

The 20 minute timer one is spawning Madmen, Dervish and SGs.

Did someone maybe charm the AC PH and take it away and hide it somewhere?

If it was charmed wouldnt it still eventually go back to it's normal pathing?

I thought this too but one time a while back I aggroed the AC PH on accident before it was time to kill him. I FD and instead of going back to the path he takes off running into the forest. I had to go track him down and kill him when the time came. So, not sure what a charmed mob would do?
