Having him spawn right as you walk away is the definition of bad luck, considering it's a guaranteed drop. I imagine you'll never leave a camp prior to respawns again. As far as Jboots go it took me 8 hours straight to get the only pair I ever camped in OOC. After that I decided it was easier to farm money and buy them, especially because when I camped it was before there was mega elflords corpsing 30 rings on the island to hold the camp forever and I didn't feel like contending with the very embodiment of anti-fun gameplay.
I'm sure there's plenty of mindbroken mages out there with a story or two to tell about the earth staff pre-update. That was reason enough for me to never make a mage, since their epic was pretty important.
