Was reading the old Enchanter epic threads and came across a "new" post. Rygar posted most of the other Vessel related posts from those threads but I didn't see a mention of this one.

"The SK" is in reference to Vessel Drozlin. Qhue was one of the key people in figuring out the Enchanter epic quest. There's still several threads I haven't had the time to read, but so far zero posts about it possibly being 2-7 days outside of Diku's Luclin era guide.


Not to go off topic, but it's a somewhat related note: Just noticed the 2001-2002 archives of Diku's guide have Staff of the Serpent as instant cast/instant recast. Anyone ever notice that?

Just thought I'd post a tiny bit of evidence, interesting is that it is post marked September 12th, 2001. There was a patch on all servers September 11th, 2001.

Maybe someone can figure out when the pop actually occurred. I think it was mentioned he isn't supposed to 'spawn' immediately after a patch, but 4AM on 9/12 would put his initial spawn from server reset at 24hrs or less (definitely less than the 3 days mentioned above). This would be different from respawn time of course, but is still important to know.

Oh, and naturally, Vessel popped at about 4 AM. No one online to help me. The dude was up for literally EIGHT hours, but I couldn't find any help at all. =/ It's getting depressing now...
