You guys just dont get my argument. It's ok. There are approximately 48 assassin or ph spawns per day at a "25%" chance this would be on average 12 assassins per day in the long run. This isnt even close to happening lol. The rate is clearly not 25% or even 20%. I'm just saying it is much lower lol. Not here to argue about your 3 fizzles in a row over the span of 5 seconds. I'm talking about observations over days.

I did 32 hours at assassin to get my guise. Saw 6 assassins during that time, which is a spawn rate of about 4%. Half had dirks.

that's actually around 12% spawn rate.

What is that math? 32 hours is roughly 64 assassins with 6 spawns that's 6÷64 which is 9.375% spawn rate. I actually believe the true rate is 10% so this checks out.

If you have ever had the misfortune of seeing 3 manastones back to back, followed by 38 hours of nothing but frogs and the occasional bag...yeah, its streaky.

True RNG does not exist on computers. Several posts back has some good articles for those who are curious. Consider the time EQ was written as well.

It is a well known experience by EQ players that even trivial camps or encounters can sometimes go terribly wrong due to a long string of seemingly impossible resists, early breaks, lucky full damage hits etc..its all just part of the game, flawed or otherwise.

Then you get to camp other items and maybe socialize while doing so.

I dunno I made some really good friends from my time spent at manastone camp. Strong bonds were formed
