If it takes u that long u are either doing it wrong, or have terrible luck.
here is how u do it: at 10am GAMEtime kill all the wandering derv, mummy, sand giant, or desert madman. only the wanderers will be the PH, i believe there are 3 of them, 2 of which will have a 6min respawn timer, leaving the remaining wanderer (I.E. the PH) with a 31min timer. If u kill the pathing mobs at 10AM GAMEtime that will leave u with a 31min wait til inGAME night time around 8p. if u kill them again at 8pm GAMEtime it leaves u 31min til 6AM giving a 20% every hour

i have horrible luck, back on live i camped the OOT AC for 16 hours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

She's doing it right, I went there and made sure.

8pm is not night on this server.

Dev stated day was 7am-9pm, at least for Kith, i'm pretty sure its global.

Yeah, you want 9 and 7. I camped him for like 30 hours before I bothered to doublecheck what time night actually was here. After correcting that I got him first pop in the cycle :x

You *can* get a 7am pop here so done perfectly right you can get 2 chances in just over an hour.

Kill the PH at 11am.
Respawn is at 9pm.
Kill.
Respawn is 7am.
If not AC, wait to kill PH again until 11am.
Repeat.

For convenience I will usually keep the non AC spawns there obvious, and easy to kill (10m spider, 20m a derv that I give a crappy weapon to hold)

I didn't read through all the pages of this thread to see if someone already mentioned this but there is an offical post by an SoE GM stating how this cycle works with all of the PHs. Do a search in their forums.

I got my AC at 7 am. I was mistakenly killing the PH at 8 pm, but maybe it took me a long time to kill it.

So you had a 10% chance every hour, that's how I did the camp too(different times though, killed my PH at noon-2 GAMEtime). I saw him once, though I didn't get the kill. when I was higher level I went to OOT and got him in like 2 hours.

Why would 9 and 7 make a difference to 8 and 6? They are both at night.

*Confirmed. Camped AC 12 hours and nothing. Just changed spawn to 9 and 7 and he spawned.

Confirmed as well. Just got mine tonite in SRO after 12 hours. Tried switchin to 8pm-6am spawn in the middle with no luck. Finally got on the 11am PH kill - 9pm spawn cycle two times around afterwards on the 9pm spawn.
