Noob question here.

I understand that named mob's often have placeholders that spawn in their place. If I'm camping one of these, do I need to continuously kill the placeholder for the best chance to spawn the named mob? Or will the named just spawn over the placeholder when it's time?
It's basically like a slot in EQ: imagine on the ground, wherever they spawn, there's a circle that says "home of the named or the PH". Nothing appears in that circle if there's already something there, so you won't get a new named OR a PH unless you kill the last named/PH.

Each time a mob does spawn there, there is a chance (usually a much lower one for the named) that either one will spawn ... X minutes after the last named/PH dies (where X is the respawn time).

Wiki on placeholders could use an update on this: https://wiki.project1999.com/Placeholder
Seems like something you'd be perfect for [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And if you play on Blue, you could even earn a reward for doing it (see my signature).
