Plane of Hate Placeholders
The demi-bosses in Plane of Hate should not have placeholders in this era but came in on Plane of Hate B revamp.
This Plane of Hate A 1.0 and 2.0 guide on the wiki claims that the minis are on a 72 hour repop, but never mentions an additional placeholder on top of the 72 hour repop. http://eqdiary.tripod.com/quests/hate.htm <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/Z7qpbVE"><a href="//imgur.com/Z7qpbVE"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The second bit of evidence comes from a post in Jan 8, 2002. This was when luclin was released however hate wasn't changed again until February and all it effected was the drop rates, as proven by the same exact poster who went up to hate himself multiple times to get Magi P`Tasa Quote:

I'd be quite happy if staff dropped more frequently, Magi spawned consistently, or the staff were added to the male forsaken revenants as was done in first or second patch of Luclin. The problem now is with more minnis than there are slots, Magi often does not get a spot on an earthquake, where as Maestro often has two at once!
To add to this, current behavior suggests that each spot has a timer, not the minni itself, meaning that when a spot is due for respawn, it can be any minni, further lowering Magi's chances of spawning. Based on OP research and my own, I'm not sure that's classic behavior. Based on drop rate tracking (to the best of my ability) I'd say the drop rate now is 8% or less for the staff.

Can confirm he did not spawn during the last earthquake and there were two Maestros.
I agree that there doesn't seem to be any supporting evidence that magi should have a placeholder. There have been several cycles recently where a forsaken revenant spawns in his place, observed by no other trash mobs spawning around the same time, but one rev will pop up in magi's window, and magi never spawns. Remove magi ph or add the loot to the male revs and end this ridiculously contended camp. It's still a rare drop so it's not like every mage would have an epic overnight. | ||
