Dunedigger Spawn Mechanics
Last night I was grouping in N Ro with a great group of people at Derv 3 and we had the pleasure of an unexpected visit from the Dunedigger. We were all even more elated when he dropped and left behind his shield!
I was amazed to see him, as in my 10 year experience with EQ I have only seen him once before, and at the time, all he dropped was a hide. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had very little idea how this Ultra-Rare NPC's spawn mechanics work. As I searched, I found out that no one else really had any idea either. Here are a few of the things I have heard...
From my experience with him once years ago on Live and last night here on P99, I can say that in both instances He spawned near Derv 3 and did not path. Also, I did not see any other mobs spawn where he had, even after several hours at that location. I would love to learn a little more about this...what do you all think?

The armadillo at derv 3. Yeah that one. That's supposedly the PH. He spawns there and takes a little jaunt around nro, whereas the PH is just permaparked at derv3. As for rarity I have only seen him up three times on p1999, I suspect that he has a time related spawn no one has figured out (ie day/night at x time) like many of the other rare spawn mobs.

i bought my shield from some lucky noob who killed him. He was 100% fresh still in his newbie robe and some cloth armor. He said he found him while killing armadillos.

When we killed him last night he was Red to our whole group (level 7-12). Max hit on me (11 paladin) was 35 dmg.

That's hilarious if the stationary spawn being the PH is true. I hunted at that derv camp with a couple different characters and the stationary Armadillo was always there and not once did I ever bother to or even think to kill it.

I have never seen an armadillo there at all...I hope it is not something like DuneDigger being on a 2 week spawn time and 50% of the time it is his PH...ugh that would suck.
