Ancient Cyclops in Karanas
 

Okay, like the olden days the ancient cyclops is indeed spawning in at least South Karana. He used to pop in East Karana as well. He popped and was killed today in SK.

Anybody out there in EQEmu land want to dissect this and see what makes him pop? :P

Did you personally see/kill the Ancient Cyclops in SK? I've heard of people thinking the undead cyclops was the AC.

He spawned in EK for about a week as part of the Tarbul cycle. A dev posted on the official forums (years later) that he caught hell for doing it.

South Ro
 

Not sure on the Karanas one, but the one in South Ro was explained by a dev and the way it works might help you figure out how the Karanas one works: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/po...opic_id=143508

will this still work on P1999 - method to spawn SRo AC I mean?

Yeah but...

1. good luck getting the camp! It's more frequently camped than the one in OOT!

2. good luck getting him to spawn if you DO get the camp! It's pretty much the same spawn rate as OOT, but can only spawn at night!

How do you claim to camp something that can spawn on random somewhere in zone?

It's a single PH, like the one in OOT.

No random spawns, no trigger spawns.

And Taco Bell!

Yes, I have seen him and other folks have too. I remember during the Plague of Bertoxxulous years ago seeing him in SK.

According to Allakazam...

The Ring of the Ancients drops from "an ancient cyclops," found in Eastern Karana, Southern Karana, Ocean of Tears, and Southern Desert of Ro.

I wonder what the PH could be. Static spawns are the PHs for Grizzleknot and Coloth... He also isn't tied to any of the Quillmane PHs that cross the mound.

Can elaborate on this? I've always thought that SRo was a zonewide spawn.
