Bilge
Anyone have some up to date information on how to spawn him? Found an old post showing 4 spawn points but then the patch that said they increased his spawn points and decreased his phers. Should I just run around dagnors murdering every goblin?

So, the problem with this community is this:
Anyone that actually knows is never going to tell you. You'll generally get nothing, and at best you'll get vague information that you won't very particularly useful. People want to keep information closely guarded so they can limit the number of items entering the market and keep prices jacked up. The same happened on Blue. | ||

Bottom line -- its a crap shoot. Its very random. nilbog said years ago that they adjusted his spawn to be like that of the south ro AC -- it is a random spawn off of a set of unknown PHs (like the AC). Nobody knows what the PHs are because all mobs in cauldron are 2.5 min except presumably his placeholders. If you do nothing but sit in the zone, he will eventually pop due to fab 4 killing his placeholders, but you can also force him to spawn by massacring the mobs in hopes of killing a placeholder yourself (again - no gaurantee you can do this)
One thing that I have all but confirmed in my dozen or so kills of him since green launch is that he always spawns at nighttime and will stay alive until death. I've only ever witnessed him pop during the hours of 6PM to 6AM. Usually Midnight to 4am personally except the one time I saw him pop just at dusk. Again -- could be nothing but I do feel quite confident he is a night time spawn or at least a "time window" spawn that was coded that way, much like the SRO AC is a night time spawn. Good luck. | ||

why not sit with track and time the spawns? see which one does not match up with the zone spawn timer, and try them.

Figuring out his spawn pattern would probably take hours and hours of autistic killing and note taking, I sure as hell wouldn’t give up the info for free if I collected it.

If you check the ZAM page on Bilge you will see he actually had a depop mechanic in classic (as a lot of rare spawns / placeholders did). Would reach some corner of the zone and just poof. Imagine how rough that would be. | |||

Which works much better. It's pretty clear there is also a "cooldown" period as well, as the reported fastest time between pops that I've seen is back to back night times. Which would be about an hour apart. If it was simply any mob was a ph (2.5 min repop) he would pop all the damn time. I've sat in the zone 6 hours before with no luck and also seen him twice in 3 hrs before. Total crap shoot. I'd love to see the code on his spawn some day if P99 ever dies or gets decommissioned. I hope that never happens but I'd be pretty interested! | |||

All of the outdoor rares on p99 spawn WAY too frequently frankly.
