Zone Spawn Rate

[Slingshot]

Is there any way to change the respawn rate of a zone?

For instance, Gloomingdeep usually has a fast respawn rate. It seems slow in EQEmu.

### This set of queries changes the respawn times for the following zones ###
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'sebilis';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'karnor';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'velketor';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'skyshrine';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'kael';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'ssratemple';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 7200 WHERE respawntime < 7200 and zone = 'vexthal';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'akheva';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'chardok';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'sseru';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'soldungb';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'permafrost';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'kedge';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'hole';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 1800 WHERE respawntime < 1800 and zone = 'citymist';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 900 WHERE respawntime < 900 and zone = 'unrest';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 900 WHERE respawntime < 900 and zone = 'warrens';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 900 WHERE respawntime < 900 and zone = 'soldunga';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 900 WHERE respawntime < 900 and zone = 'runnyeye';
UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime = 900 WHERE respawntime < 900 and zone = 'oot';

Here's an example. The respawn times are in seconds, so determine what you'd like them to be. These are written in a way so as not to interfere with named spawns, so only touch spawn timers that are below or equal to the one you're setting.

Hope this helps, good luck =)

Classically, old world dungeon zones were 27 or 28 minute respawns, so setting respawntime = 1620 or 1680 would do that. If I recall correctly, outdoor zones were typically 7:40, so respawntime = 460.

So_L337t's queries are a great way of doing the job quickly and easily... I'd just modify the times a little to be more in line with what I remember... albeit vaguely!

depends on a level realy.
if lev 5 mobs in BlackBurrow would have 28 min repop time i would have died of boredom back in 99

mobs under lev 10 usualy were on 6 min timer, followed by 12 min under lev 30 or so, followed by 24 min for 30-50 range and finaly 36+ min for levels above 50. Again depends on the area

actually i was wantin to know what would be the number to put in my spawn editor for a monster to respawn in 1 hour?

[joligario]

I believe the number is in seconds.

One hour = 3600 seconds, so 3600.
