I mean if there are only 5 people there, and spawn point is fairly random then considering it is a 10% spawn rate you ‘only’ expect to show up for 50 9AMs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Moving past that, hello! I play Aystar, a level 42 Ranger who is *gasp* tagged Kingdom. I have dabbled in Peggy cloaks and responded to some of your posts there, and will also try to field some of your questions here. First off, the SRo AC being not a list camp is a server rule implied by the FTE message that goes out for him. While I can't find a specific rule that says "AC is FTE only in Sro" I can say that no FTE goes out on the OOT one, and FTE is the rule for other non-raid encounters that give out an FTE message. Lodizal comes to mind as the closest example- everyone sits on the spawn point and spams /pet attack and hopes they get it. If anyone else here can find the exact written rule that Sro AC is FTE, that may help OP understand what's going on here. Secondly, I can say with confidence that Kingdom as a guild does not care about the Sro AC outside of occasionally trying to make sure a cleric bot has Jboots. And those are usually donated. I've been in the guild since Kunark and never once has there been any discussion in guild chat about locking down Sro to get a bot Jboots. Our guild requirements actually include SoW potions (see https://kingdomdkp.com/index.php/Policy.html? under Ranking), not Jboots, and we do not RMT in any way. Third, and this might be the most applicable point to your RnF post, I am not part of some elite squad of Kingdom folk who have calculated all possible spawn points of the AC and all log in at 8pm in-game time to lock them all down. I DO know when it's 8pm game time (Every hour and 12 minutes), and will usually try to log in and find a good open spot in the desert to race for AC. The reason for this? I work during the day and can't play a serious character, so popping in to try and snag a quick 5k is an efficient use of what little game time I have between work calls. Drakorian is a regular in Sro as well, and he came over from Nova just recently. He's also just doing it to sell Jboot MQ's in EC. I can also confirm several non-Kingdom peeps regularly win AC and come back to do it again. Brownwind is pretty good at it and has been bagging AC's for weeks. So I hate to break the conspiracy theory, but I think what you observe as a guild-based monopoly on a spawn is actually several people racing for AC for their own individual benefit, which...to be perfectly honest, is classic. Kingdom is a large guild and contains many players, so it's reasonable to assume a fair number of players involved in the AC racing will have that tag. Also, the AC has way too many spawn points to "lock them all down". It really is a random FTE race. Sit in, put in some time, and I guarantee you'll learn the mechanics better and end up with Jboots sooner or later.

It is faster for BOTH people involved if Quillmane is respected as a camp- person 1 can get a cloak before too long and even let person 2 know which mob is the actual placeholder, which saves person 2 ALL of the guesswork. But if you have 2 people competing and murdering the zone over and over, you get less Quillmanes per hour because your track list gets populated with a bunch of trash repops that confuse your methods. So the TLDR here is Quillmane is NOT a camp, but it should be :P

Even if AC in Sro is not a static spawn, you would think that it would be respected like Quillmane is in SK. | |||

S Ro being 10% chance of a treasure hunt / race every 9pm is a fun mechanic.
There is the sit and grind it out alternative in oot for people not interested in that. Most items don’t give you two pathways for acquisition.
