NPC Spawn Issue: Malka Rale and Vilnius the Small

[paulgiamatti]

From The Safehouse:

Find Malka Rale in the Qeynos Aqueducts at location +380, -210, +80. Say "I will help" to get "Stanos' Pouch."

- Malka's placeholder is "A courier."
– "A courier" will despawn at 8 p.m. game time, then Malka will spawn at 10 p.m. game time in the place of the courier.
– The courier does NOT need to be killed to get Malka to spawn, just wait till 10 p.m.

I found the "a courier" placeholder at this location (I think the z coordinate in the Safehouse location is wrong), and it did despawn at 8 p.m. game time, but at 10 p.m. instead of Malka "a brigand" spawned in its place. I waited for a few more rotations of the spawn and the same thing happened. The Ragebringer quest is still doable without Malka since you can spawn Stanos via dialog at level 50+ or have someone else spawn him for you, but this piece of the quest allows pre-level 50 rogues to obtain the pouch and spawn Stanos solo.

From The Safehouse:

These three side quests involve an NPC named Vilinus the Small. He can be located in Western Karanas in the bandit camp at location +340, -6700. Making him spawn will take some work. First, be sure all bandits are in the camp. You must kill and continue to kill the bandit which runs from the camp to the top of the hill until the "brigand" spawns. The "brigand" is an ultra-rare spawn. Leave the "brigand" alone, and at 11 p.m. game time Vilinus the Small will spawn in his place. From here, there are 3 sub-quests you are able to complete all of which earn you a different item.

Vilnius (not Vilinus) the Small is currently always up. His placeholder, "a brigand", is also always up and they path into each other, often standing at the exact same coordinates. This makes the Vilnius quests much easier to complete for obvious reasons, but could also be problematic since you could accidentally turn in items to the placeholder.

Changed Malka to 100% spawn at night time. During the day, the courier will occupy her spot.

Brigand is now 100% spawn during the day time. Vilnius only spawns at night, and is also a 100% spawn. Vilnius will no longer path.

Fixed, pending update.
