Where are you getting information he should be 12 hours?

He was 7 days when the epics first came out, for almost 2 months or so, then they patched in several changes to spawn times for mobs with insane respawn times involved in epic quests.


I do not have a list, however the Ishva Mal was one of the other mobs that had long spawn timer changed. Ishva was changed to a mere 27? minutes, assuming the same as the regular zone respawn.

It was around october - november 2000. There were no notes in any of the patches unfortunatally, but this stuff did in fact happen.

I also want to add that not every super long respawn mob was changed, what they did was balance it out so everyone had 1 or two stupid camps to do in their epic.

The way it was before, some classes had 1 and others had 4 or 5 really stupid camps and they evened it out a bit ( sony could have done better in their choices imo )

in wayback gives an updated 2000 Dec walkthru "Soulfire made easy"
Qoute:

Step Ten: Head to West Freeport again. This is where you need your high level friends. You are about to take down Sir Lucan, who spawns in the Freeport militia house in West Freeport. (He is sometimes not there or not spawned yet, he has a 6 hour spawn time so wait) Lucan is only level 48ish but he hits hard and has a buddy named Brother Jentry who will completely heal Lucan. (Lucan hits in double 100s, similar to fighting higher-level named frogs in lguk)


Now I don't ever remember a 6hr spawn? But we are seeing more low spawn times. And the original walkthru "Soulfire made easy" is posted above that a few. Probably I stopped reading at that and didnt notice the updated 2 under it (same ones looks like) However it mentions nothing of Lucans spawn time.

Anyone have any good links or paths to patch files I can go thru in wayback ?

That's correct. It eventually got changed to 12 hours, epic patch or close to it. I havent been able to find any specific sources, only incomplete walkthrus which tbh doesnt say much.

This isnt much of a 'source' but hey, atleast its something!

"Sir Lucan is currently a 1 week spawn; this spawn time is vastly reduced to 12 hours once it becomes part of the epic quest."

I believe indeed that he was reduced from 1 week during the patch that reduced many epic cockblocks, not necessarily on epic release.

I have scoured waybachmachine to no end and the earliest captures they have of websites is from late 2000 at the earliest, and almost all posts talk about Lucan as either a 6-12 hour timer, but it certainly isn't 7 days. There are multiple accounts of people remembering Lucan spawn getting changed if not AT epic patch, shortly thereafter.

Can we please get an answer on this? Id rather you just tell us "No, it's not going to happen, deal with it." then just not getting an answer period. At least then I can just quit trying to find evidence to support this. I would think that with as many accounts of players here remembering the spawn time change, it should be evidence enough.
