Raster of Guk

[Cheech]

So the days have gone by 7 Chrysoberyl Talisman, Dozens of Ebony Bladed Swords, Azure Sleeves and 60+ hours trying to spawn Raster. Is there any kind of secret on this server to spawn him? I noticed the method that worked on live does not work here. I want to finsh the quest instead of just killing Brother Qwinn. I know he spawns, i've seen him once..i was to late or to nice...:rolleyes:

Any suggestions.Am i getting unlucky? Roll one up and keep trying? Just kill Brother Qwinn? :eek:

He spawned in his normal place when my monk friend was helping me kill the EE and pulling them in between. We were only killing them for a few hours so I guess he got lucky.

Hey Cheech, hook a guildie up with one of those Talismans!

Ya i'd say thats lucky. ;)

Sorry leeky i gave them all out to guildies that were duoing the camp with me at the time.

Hey Cheech, you sound like you have my luck with Rastor. On live I camped him 90 hours straight. I'd kill him, set my alarm for 20 mins, lie down on the couch and pass out. Then wake / repeat.

The worst part? Ended up giving up after 90 hours and buying the MQ.

Hope your luck turns.

Yeah the camp i had on live was horrible, then I died when he spawned and someone had to MQ it with me. The raster of all of the camps I did in that game was the worst evar... I got so pissed when people started killing brother quinn and stopped having to deal with the Raster.

In this iteration, it seems our elusive friend Raster is a druid, instead of a monk. Reference to him being a monk is at http://www.castle-grounds.co.uk/eq/raster.htm

Fixed, pending update.

For some.. unknown reason, he was a monk with a druid spellset! Good catch.

Raster of Guk is much easier to camp on this server then he should be. The place holder was on a 76 minute timer instead of the 28 minute timer of the rest of lguk. He would also automatically despawn at certain in-game hours of the day, requiring monks to have to time out their kills. This camp was purposely supposed to be extremely hard (to weed out the impatient monks from the patient) and in this server it is just hard.

Here is a site that has tons of info on the classic raster camp.

On behalf of all the monks who haven't camped Raster yet - I hate you.

While you're correct that the spawn on this server does not work like it does on live. Believe it or not its actually harder to get raster on this server.

On live if you did raster right you got 3 spawn chances per 72 minutes. Also due to the PH depopping and repopping you could actually be at another camp EXPing and then he pops up on track and you go kill him.

Here he is a 28 minute timer. 28 x 3 = 84 minutes.

72 minutes on live = 3 chances

84 minutes on p99 = 3 chances

this is correct.

yeah the despawn dosent happen here, but you still get the same number of spawns per day cycle.

I knew that pit area wasn't supposed to be a safe area. I believe it currently is on here.

yeah the hall is safe at the moment, i fell asleep there once come back in morning was still all good.

Rasters PH is a 72 min spawn/despawn, but the rest of Lower Guk is on a 28 minute spawn, so the best way to maximize the amount of PH you get is as follows. (Times are obviously EQ times.)

5am - Spawn. Leave this one to despawn, unless it is Raster obviously.
8am - Despawn.
10am - Respawn. Kill this PH
7 to 8pm - Spawn. Also kill this PH

This method ensures 3 PH's per EQ day.

What does Bodi mean when he says the PH is a 72m spawn/despawn? I ask because he obviously doesn't take that long to respawn in his chart.

[nicemace]

i think he means 72 mins from when it spawns until it despawns ?

the ph on classic wasnt a 72 min spawn.

[Redriot]

He was probably referring to the spawn cycle itself being 72 minutes. Raster could pop from any of the 3 spawns duiring the 72 minute cycle.

This is correct... tried the despawn method and didnt work.. came here to find out if this server had it implemented or not.

Without the despawn at 8AM game time it makes camping the Raster about 16% harder / longer.
