It's time to talk about the rogue epic
 

Anson McBale should be an uncommon spawn with a smuggler as his placeholder.
From The Safehouse:
Eldreth should require at least indifferent faction for successful turn-ins and should be on a variant spawn timer spanning anywhere from many real-time hours to a few real-time days.
From The Safehouse:
Vilnius the Small should only spawn in place of a rare brigand spawn whose placeholder is a bandit that roams from the bandit camp up to the top of the hill at Vilnius' spawn location.
From The Safehouse:

Anson - currently does have a placeholder, it's just that our server goes down so infrequently compared to live that he is basically always up. Unsure on commonality of his spawn. But I know after a reset someone's spent a few hours there killing that smuggler.

Eldreth I *thought* required indifferent faction, but I can't confirm since I'm indifferent to him already and not apprehensive. If he isn't that should be fixed. As for respawn:

From Allakhazam 2002-2001 range:


Vilnius sounds legit. But does the brigand replace him after he despawn in the day or is it random?

I can confirm Eldreth will take apprehensive turn-ins, have done it many times.

My best guess would be the brigand replaces the bandit placeholder on the regular bandit respawn timer, whether day or night, and then Vilnius will only replace the brigand at 11 pm.

K Eldreth definitely needs that fix. There are in era comments of him being 8 hours there, so I'm somewhat skeptical it was a multiday spawn.

As for Vilinus yea I got that, I'm just curious what happens when Vilinus despawns. Does it do a /roll between brigand and bandit. Or does it respawn the brigand since he was already up?

A roll between brigand or bandit sounds like classic EQ behavior to me, but on that point I suppose it'd be up to the developers.

From the wiki:
It's unclear if "the brigand placeholder" refers to the brigand itself or its bandit placeholder.

There was a previous bug report on Vilnius, that is when he was changed to a night spawn. I'm pretty sure, that post was used as evidence for that fix.

Anson does have a PH and have seen people kill him to get Anson to spawn.

Eldreth, I hear from most posts 7-8hours (which I think is correct), to RL days, so that one is in the air. If you use that as evidence to change Eldreth, you also need to have Yendar as variable spawn time too because that same guide says they both are variable spawn time until 2002, where that page lists them both as 3 hour spawns. Then that same page says in 2006 they made Eldreth a 7.5 hour spawn.

Founy Jestands at location +520, +307, -35 - Currently does not spawn at that loc on p99. That loc is the Pottery Wheel where he should spawn.

As a side note: General V`ghera, up until spring of 2001, used to *ALWAYS* drop a Cazic Quill, which meant that you didn't have to collect the robes, either! Now, he only drops it rarely (about 1 in 10 is the commonly-tossed around figure), so if you're lucky you won't need to collect the robes, but most people do.

On that note, if the Cazic Quill is an uncommon drop from General V`ghera then the Jagged Diamond Dagger should be an uncommon drop from Renux.

From the wiki:

From same page:
Renux, a mob you are REQUIRED to kill to complete the quest, ALWAYS drops the Jagged Diamond Dagger. As a result, you do not need to collect the four swords.

To clarify, that is from matt.waggoner.com's walkthrough in the section describing how the quest was gimped in post-classic era, not from the P99 wiki.

I've been meaning to get to this for a while, but kept forgetting.

Fixed, pending update.
