rare spawn cycles in PEQ db same as Live?

[blackjack1]

Very interesting idead. Well of the 30 something times I killed him I never could figuer it out. He seems to spawn in an empty zone (without players), and in the zone when we were cleaning everthing north of the grass.

Seen him pop in the North East corner. The Center, and around the merchants (many times there).

I used ShowEQ twards the middle of my camping history so he did not wander too far from his spawnpoint : .

I read a bazilllion posts about times of night, killing the spawn in the tower at a certain time. Which seem wrong.

Here is a VERY odd story. Right before the AC would spawn, a certain druid Sunray or sunbeam or something like that used to pop in the zone just about 10 minutes before and KS it from us at the time. That person later got banned I believe. Anyways I thought maybe they had it timed right? or possibly the spawn was related to another zone??????? For exampe the AC in OOT.

It did feel a bit like a 10 hour cycle. But then there was a randomness to it also.

Beyond not having the pathing I noticed that the mobs do not fight each other in Sout Ro. The madmen and the mummies I think used to fight?? This added the complexity that possible placeholders might have been removed. Also the merchants would attack the AC which is not happening.

I feel the PEQ spawntable is on the right track. kill Hussain, kill some rares, but not sure. Have you modified your database AC spawn? would like to see it / use it if so.

Would give a nut to know how this worked I think this is one of the coolest aspects of being able to create EQ.

what do you think about its placeholders ?
