    Has anyone figured out the pattern to where things spawn in ToV?

    "Most named are triggered from killing NPC's from a different area."

    Been rolling through killing random stuff for a while now ... maybe rand just doesn't want me to get ToV hunter done while bonus spawn rate is active ...

    If you click on the named on EQR it tells you what is the random PH for the named....

    its all pretty well laid out on EQR if you go into the specific names.

    I was just having a really bad RND run. 3rd clear of the room and the ph's popped.

    I am not a big fan of the "kill a bunch of PH's over here" while someone else can plunk down at the spawn point and just gank the named when you spawn it.

    Indeed, terrible mechanic and encourages stealing... the Named should spawn out of the trigger mob imo, not the other side of the zone potentially

    Maybe its designed as an anti-hogging mechanism? To help prevent monopolising of spawns.

    The PH/Trigger is in the same general area for all of the named. 1, maybe 2 rooms away from the named spawn point.
    3 clears even with increased named isn't a bad run.

    This is the part that confused me. Most of the mobs that can repop as a "trigger" seem to be in the same room or right next to it. When I'd been in the room cycling "trigger" mobs for 2-3hr+ and didn't see anything pop it got me wondering if I was cycling the correct mobs.

    Came back last night and on 3rd clear it popped.

    Answer is YES. I was just having a string of bad luck.

    As others noted EQ Resource has the location of the trigger mobs. Kill the mobs in that room until you get them to pop as the correct thing.

    We were worried about someone hanging out on the ramp up to Skyshrine as we were camping the named there, so we just pulled the winged terror (PH) up to the top so we would be right there when he popped.

    I'd like to see these named work similar to The Judicator in Plane of War, in that they are tied to the group who spawned it for 30 minutes.

    All this does is encourage a small raid to obliterate the zone.
  13. Svann2 The Magnificent

    Does that really matter if they have their own pick?
  14. Tappin Augur

    Depends on the raid size - many use multiple picks. So yes it may matter.

    The one-way drop trigger mob at the bottom of ST is down right mean spirited.

    Some of them spawn at the exact spot that you kill the PH, such as Milas spawning from a Venerated Sadist. Others, as mentioned, can spawn quite a long way away from where the ph dies, such as Kirezebough from a Winged Terror.
    Feshlak and Lord Vyemm could easily be KSed if someone wanted to if you are not in a full group thats keeping the entire area clear and pulling the PHs directly to the spawn points of the named.

    Reminds me of leap frogging guilds raiding in Halls of Testing back in the day!
