South Ro is supposed to have 9-10 unique named mobs (a mummy, dry bone skeleton, an asp, a madman, a coyote, ect.) all slightly different from the usual names, that are the only place holders, they all roam, they all re-pop ~14min. Its supposed to be you kill those mobs only at night, each one you kill gives you 10% chance of a pop from 9pm till like 6am. If you kill mobs that arent PH, like spiders, then it will start a spawn cycle for other mobs, like giants or terrorantula an actually prevents the AC spawn. So you couldn't just spam kill everything. I made over 600k on live servers popping South Ro selling MQ for 20k-50k a ring. You could pop one every couple hours if you knew the PH's.

Long ago, an original EQ dev leaked the actual script.

This cycle applies to only one mob. It has a 30.6-minute respawn time.

Wow really? Maybe I'll try this out. My necro could sure use one =)

Yep, it works as I described it. If you sit in South Ro at 6pm game time and watch /who, you'll see the population climb as 9pm approaches, then dive a minute or so later as people confirm the AC either didn't spawn or is engaged.

Some theorize based on the spawn table I just posted that if you kill the AC or whatever spawns in its stead, there's another 10% chance that the AC will spawn just before dawn if you kill it soon enough. I don't think it's worth it. Maybe it would be worth it if the AC/ph had a single spawn point, but it's somewhat randomized. If you want to race for SRo ACs, just go there at 9pm, try, and then leave and go about your EverQuesting.

The code from live is for live looong ago. On p99 its 9pm or bust.

So, Ancient Cyclop is lvl 32. What is comfortable level for clumsy player to be able to kill it?

Also, what is it's proper name to insert into '/pet attack' command?
