hrm, nifty approach. i'll probably investigate the quest approach. maybe have a couple "quest" guards outside a given room/area, when they die, the desired "one off" spawns. when that mob dies, set a zone global that prevents the "guard quest" to not trigger the repop upon their death. still creates the "chicken and egg" problem if i want a whole area to have "one off" mobs and then a single unique boss mob. but you're idea got me thinking about possible avenues.

npnp. you at least got me started. from what i've seen in other similar posts, i'm gonna have to hack the server code on this one. maybe i'll set it up as configurable, that way i can fine tune it if some players find ways to "abuse the system". if it works out, i'll post it as a patch.
