I'm convinced one of several things is happening in SRO with the Ancient Cyclops

1. He can no longer spawn
2. I'm doing something wrong / something has changed
3. The Random Number Generator hates me

I have been doing the 7 / 11 / 9 cycle every time I am there on the camp and have seen at least 60 non AC spawns since my last one. I haven't been camping it on the regular and usually can only stay for 3-4 spawns in one sitting but by now I should have seen an AC pop.

There's less than a 1 in 500 chance of that happening by random chance IF you're doing everything right.

switch your method to 10/8/6 and you will find success!

I've tried it in OOT and tried it in SRo. OOT is far superior. Easy in comparison and he spawns a lot more often than he does in SRo.

I've gotten about a dozen AC pops in Sro in the last 3 weeks or so, so sorry my friend, the RNG hates your guts or you're doing something wrong.

I stopped in SRo just last week as I was running through, saw it was night and uncamped, so I stayed for one pop and it was AC. The time before that I put in more hours than I care to admit on that camp before I got one. The dice have no memory and sometimes you're lucky, sometimes not.

I only kill the 1 mob and that is exactly what I am doing. 7 / 11 / 9 cycle.

I just want to say, AC has the best posts. Also I can confirm AC spawns.

Night time is different here on Live I believe. I don't recall which spawn clock to use, but I was using the wrong one many hours until I found out and then I got him to spawn in a few cycles of doing it right.

On live night was 8-6. It was supposed to be 9-7 on this server unless they changed it and I missed the patch notes.

Save yourself the hassle and just do the OOT spawn, there's 1 single, non roaming PH.

SRo AC has a higher % chance to spawn and is lower level, but requires more "camp" maintenance (ie timers etc).

OOT AC has a lower % chance to spawn and is higher in level, but is simply a "kill the PH" every 6 minutes type of camp, so easy to maintain.

I prefer the Sro AC - but to each their own.

There's less than a 1 in 500 chance of that happening by random chance IF you're doing everything right.

and over the course of this server, how many AC spawn/ph spawns have happened? based on this, there will be, in all likely-hood, at least one person with such shitty luck, and this person will more than likely complain on the forums about how shitty their luck is. that or they don't know how to count and have been doing it wrong the whole time.

I much prefer the SRo AC too, 30 minutes between pops means you can get shit done around the house while you're waiting.

I would say it depends on which one available and open atm... ive gotten lucky with the s ro one by just being the only person running through the zone at an odd hour =P I wouldn't try to camp the SK one for real. But the island and s ro one are both about the same AFAIK tell with chance to have a short camp.

I was camping it on red for a solid week. A few hours a day. Nothing.

I decide to level up on specs in feerrott instead for a bit. The very next day, Im on a CR and guess who's up in SRO? AC. Im naked and thirsty, but I still managed to get him. Rapier was on one of the Shadowed Men in WC, and Hasten was up as well. It was super luck after incredibly bad luck.

If you can do the OOT AC, I'd do that instead.

Ocean of Tears is the best one to camp.

I got him yesterday, after maybe about an hour, hour and a half tops. But the week before when I did it for myself, it took 20+ hours.

I got him today uncontested camp, he was simply up when I walked into the zone. Guy that came up behind me, got him to spawn immediately next again. Simply sometimes the number generator is nice, sometimes terrible.

I'm the Rocky Balboa of Norrath. Knocked down on the regular, but I always get back up.
