Ancient Cyclops in Karanas

[XDrake]

Okay, like the olden days the ancient cyclops is indeed spawning in at least South Karana. He used to pop in East Karana as well. He popped and was killed today in SK.

Anybody out there in EQEmu land want to dissect this and see what makes him pop? :P

Did you personally see/kill the Ancient Cyclops in SK? I've heard of people thinking the undead cyclops was the AC.

He spawned in EK for about a week as part of the Tarbul cycle. A dev posted on the official forums (years later) that he caught hell for doing it.

Not sure on the Karanas one, but the one in South Ro was explained by a dev and the way it works might help you figure out how the Karanas one works: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/po...opic_id=143508

will this still work on P1999 - method to spawn SRo AC I mean?

Yeah but...

1. good luck getting the camp! It's more frequently camped than the one in OOT!

2. good luck getting him to spawn if you DO get the camp! It's pretty much the same spawn rate as OOT, but can only spawn at night!

You are dumb.

Can elaborate on this? I've always thought that SRo was a zonewide spawn.

It spawns in one spot, only one PH, it does wander.

I killed the AC in South Karana and looted a ring off of him shortly after Kunark launched. I had been killing chargers and aviaks near the hermit, as well as a random werewolves and cyclops that came my way for quite a while when the AC got sighted and started beating people up around Paw.

I'm pretty sure the roaming cyclops is the AC's ph. With a tracker and a little time it wouldn't be hard to figure out where the roaming cyclops spawns.

I personally saw the AC in SK the other day and he was deep red to my then 29 enchanter. I attempted charming some of the gnolls and sent them to try and take him down but he demolished them rather swiftly. I think the first gnoll sent him to 96% before he bit it... I'm guessing this guy is level 40+ just like the one in OOT so unfortunately most people that are actually in SK for experience most likely won't be able to take him down without some serious help.

Personally I think this is the least likely place to try and camp him, the last few times I've been through SRO no one has been at his spot. In fact last time I went there I saw 3 SG's for the 3 spawns where his camp is.

How do you claim to camp something that can spawn on random somewhere in zone?

It's a single PH, like the one in OOT.

No random spawns, no trigger spawns.
