South Ro Ancient Cyclops
 

I believe this is bugged.

While it is difficult to provide any specific info without knowing specifically what the spawn mechanics are, given all of the conflicting info on the matter, I will provide some statistics.

In the past 8 days I have spent over 30 hours looking for the AC and have not seen it once. I haven't seen his corpse, nor any broadcasts about FTE or sightings.
I have spoken to several people with similar results. One had been camping it for over a month (with tracking abilities) and hasn't seen it not one time.

Looking over the bugs resolved issues forum, I see the SRO AC was updated in 2013.

In 2014 I camped and killed the AC about 15 times. Occasionally I saw it twice in a 24 hour RL time period. Sometimes I didnt see it for 2 days, but that was about the max. This was similar to my recollection of live as well.

According to the wiki, the AC was updated again in 2014, but the patch notes at that time only mention that the DE's will aggro it.

So unfortunately, I don't have any real facts beyond this one:

The SRO AC is significantly more rare than it should be.

Would someone please at least take a look at it?

I agree with OP, I've been camping the AC on red for the past 3 weeks and haven't seen a thing.

He spawns at 9pm gametime only.. its just a chance that he spawns

Youll see druids porting in around 9pm usually as theyre looking to snipe a ring to sell

If that's the case, then it is still broken.

I see one aggroed as of today.

Not broken.

Doesnt only spawn at 9pm. Ive seen from 8pm til 6am if you're clearing all Phs. Ive found 6 phs and they roam the same direction every single time, just a different name(a mummy, a madman and so on).

OK. Thanks for looking at it. I guess I have just been horribly unlucky!

I've seen the ancient cyclops twice in the last couple weeks while passing through. Stop looking, you'll find it. :)

I think the skeletal warlord in KC is bugged because I don't have 10 tstaffs after one day of farming pls hlp.

Lol this guy sounds like a turd. I bet you play on red, no? level 15 monk with fungi etc but no one to attack. Now you resort to forum attacks and hate life..lol amirite?

Anyway, so they want a custom encounter, I can deal with that. I just figured they wanted to make make the encounters classic-like. But hey, free is free, I aint complainin =)
