Ehhh I recall seeing him more than 36 hr spawn would allow...

I thought he had cougar placeholders or something?

Stormfeather doesn't have a PH.

Definately this. That's probably why so many people remember him as 36 hours, because he would very frequently skip spawns. However I think he was around ~18 hours with a strong chance to skip.

No way it was 18 hours.

Here's a pretty old post from 2002 that seems to match exactly what I recall for lodi/stormfeather spawn times and habits:



http://old.tuatha.cc/topic.asp?topic...-5&ON=0&PA=000

Lodi is on a ~11h 50m timer (last known death was at 9:45PM EST Sunday the 22nd) and is highly contested and is concidered a KS mob (meaning whom ever kills first gets loot, no matter who engaged first). Lodi is doable with 1 50-55+ group, but the more people, the better.

Stormfeather (A.K.A. SF), is the bottleneck for this quest. You can find his spawn point at loc +5790, +708 (near the 3 card playing Gnomes), is on a ~19h timer, and is known to skip spawn cycles (up to a reported 52 hour maximum). He will not be up when servers come back up, but will be there 19 hours later. SF is almost always camped by 2-3 people, so be ready to go all out and hope for the best. Last known time of death was at 5:45PM EST on Friday the 20th.

Here's another source, about 6 months older that has matching spawn times for SF:
http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthr...ather-theories

18 hour cycle, has a chance to skip. I found out the approximate time the server came up, then just made sure to sit in the zone 15 minutes before every multiple of 18 hours to 15 mins after every multiple.

I got Stormfeather three days after the server came up, with about 2 hours total camping time invested.

52 hours max corresponds very well to that 17.5 hour/10500 ticks with up to 2 skips. It's probably something along the lines of 66% chance first spawn, 66% chance second, 100% third, or maybe 50%, 75%, 100%. Velious had a propensity to do spawns like that.

I also remember soloing Lodi as a 60 shaman with malo and torpor.
Shame I lost all my old eq screenshots or I could have contributed more :/

5. Corudoth: Was this turtle in at original Velious launch?

I can't find info on the first week of velious, but by the second week the answer is yes!
