NPC Spawn Issue: Ancient croc/a salt water croc spawn bugged

[Hakubi]

Camp is bugged. Been here for 5 spawn cycles now and when I first started only 3 crocs were up, then the next spawn only 2, now 1 for the past few spawns.


I don't know if this is related but when I zoned in from Innothule there were what looked like a few (non salt water) crocs near the zone in along with some KoS higher level frogs that never proximity aggroed. I don't know if they are spawning under the ground or what but they aren't at their spawn location.

Isn't this normal for that camp? I know when I camped it, there was a chance to be between 1-4 (or 5?) saltwater crocs, or the ancient crocodile. It seemed the number of saltwater crocs was random. Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

Maybe? I haven't been here in a decade and thought it was always 5...
Man that is embarrassing if that is the case. I seen the gradually decreasing spawns assuming it was a trend and that the script had broke again (I see this has been a problem camp before).

I camped it a month or two ago, probably 15 hours total camping. Having them spawn in random numbers was the norm then. I found this page from Alla's that mentions the randomness in the comments:

I thought it mentioned it on the P99 wiki somewhere but I have been unable to find it.

One note about that camp: The crocs are not social aggro, but they will aggro on you if your health gets low. I learned that the hard way.

it's either 1-5 or the AC

[Doctor Jeff]

This spawn is a lottery with a 16.5 minute respawn starting upon the death of the last mob.

Kender is correct, it can be anywhere from 1 to 5 crocs or the AC by itself.

Upon investigation, I have found that this spawn is working as intended on both the blue and red servers.

Please move this to resolved.
