    A few of the dragons in WW were a real PITA to spawn for raids hunter.
    Anyone on Xegony have a coldain ring they need to finish, hit me up I neeeed that Narandi kill but too lazy to do it myself! There would be compensation for your time. ~Renaii

    yea just thought it was weird that a bst was in south karana trying to get quill i mean whats the chances of just running into the mob. surprised they dont get some kind of tracking least like bard's.

    Yea im down to a couple i had problems spawning stronghorn so i killed dragon's too. i got two i need tsiraka and yal. least i got good pp for stronghorn's horn. Looks like tsiraka is a 4-6 ph respawn better than 122 at least :)

    those 4-6 hour respawns add up! Got to the point that i'd set an alarm if i was asleep to wake up and kill them.

    Narra Tanith in South Karana is proving to be stupidly rare. We've had a group in there the past 3 days murdering the entire zone, and she still hasn't shown her face.

    Got classic EQ <20 hunters left to go, Kunark hunters 75% done, Velious hunters <10 to go. PoP and LoY done. Luclin on the back burner for now. All the current hunters completed.

    Haven't found anything rarer than Vaniki. King Xorbb will probably be my bottleneck, double spawns on a super rare isn't very useful, so haven't gone super hard on that. Certain zones are a nuisance, Field of Bone for instance, but doable in less time than Vaniki. Vaniki with a 50% spawn every 5 days. Damn near everything is guaranteed to spawn in that amount of time with effort.

    I'll give a very small handful as being almost as bad. Mass slaughtering always wins out though, unless you're after that damn rat.

    Yea i got king during fabled seems to me stuff spawned quicker during that time course i could be wrong (quicker i mean rare's spawned better). i got gorge in like 8-10 hrs and i was scared of that zone was putting it off. im down to 1 mob for moonslayer then im off to sk to try to get last two mobs. Ive tried field of bones prob like 5 times and have gotten nothing to spawn :( kunark im down to like 3 or 4 zones think 3 plus vaniki lol.

    I got king xorbb near clan runneyeye. i killed everything but goblins as i was ally to them. not sure i was ally though lol.

    We have a couple in our guild, Mojito and Chicodiablo, who only need Narra Tanith to have all hunters done up to RoS.

    Its not that shes that rare, her PH roams the entire zone, and not even a ranger can track all of SK, so locking down the PH is impossible, especially with the mobs popping in and out by time and the other ones killing each other. You can bring in a couple of other toons with pets/familiars and set them at third-way points in the zone to help your ranger track them down.
  16. Andarriel Everquest player since 2000

    yup i know as my main is a ranger and thats why south karana is the worst hunter zone ever as ph's can roam the zone. reason why its the last zone i need for norrath slayer. just glad i got her and she dropped her rare too bonus. Too bad hunters dont have it so they drop there heads or something so you can mount them in your house lol. Thing is when i got her i was trying to spawn synger :)

    What is her PH?
  18. Zamiam Augur

    DONT TELL dont tell pls dont tell

    Made you look ;)

    She's on Brother Qwinn's 66 second spawn cycle. You hunt him to hunt her: The PHs can be lion, lioness, an escaped splitpaw gnoll et al, I do not think it had a centaur or aviak ph this is from memory, I did it when it was current.(Edit: I did it when they put in the achievement a couple of years ago.)

    How we did this and several other zones was to use the work of the madmen who figured out how Quillmane cycle works years before. They would kill one mob and wait for it to respawn, while timing it.

    The named in South Karana are on a 66-72 second spawn cycle. Trash in the zone respawn in 30? seconds. You know the PH for Brother Qwinn/Narra roams from the north to south end of the west side of the zone. If you run through the north to south end of the west side of zone you will see many mobs, the rarer PH on this side of the zone is an escaped splitpaw gnoll. Kill all the lions and lionesses and elephants mist wolfs etc, until an escaped splitpaw gnoll spawns. Follow it, wait for the other mobs you kill to respawn, kill the escaped splitpaw gnoll and time it. If its PH respawns in 30 seconds its trash, repeat step one. If however, it respawns in 66-72 seconds its your PH. Kill it, and then find and kill it again every 66-72 seconds until it respawns as the named you need. This process can repeated for most of the named in zone. Fanra made a good map of the named here: https://everquest.fanra.info/wiki/Quillmane

    Have been flying blind in SK myself, leaving a bard midway up the zone and using a ranger to track the bottom part. Just looking around til I find the ~66 second respawns then following them to their nameds, then leaving the named up if not needed to avoid chasing that line of phs in the future. Works...okay. Did find Narra this way though, while expecting another named. Down to Grizzleknot and Grimrot now, almost there.
