soblogh and froglock beserker cycle is broken

[Buellen]

Hello

So i cam across this inconsistency. Apparently the froglok berserker cycle is broken here. For one thing froglok berserker doesn't exist. Instead of having full cycle as described in this post by Qrowmagnon

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=4493

We here on p1999 have only 1 confirmed mob dropping the loot that froglock berseker is supposed to drop. This one mob is is soblogh and he is confirmed 100 percent spawning every 10 min at a fixed location.

This is not how this cycle is supposed to work. As per my own memories of doing this cycle, and from the post information soblogh spawn should be move to vacinity of undead camp at rougly neg 2565 , post 817, neg 7.70. any of the mobs up to two of them can be up and running around and when one killed the berseker or another named is supposed to pop.

Half or more of the named mobs for this cycle spawn in or relatively close to this location as i have personally killed them. ONLY 2 of these named are supposed to be up at anytime if they are not the berserker or froglock ranger.

Right now you can have all these named up in the swamp.

Chello again

So apparantly the code here on p1999 has the froglock berserker as one of the possible spawning where the froglock outlander spawns.

My above post stated he didnt exist ,but he does. Obviously this is not his correct spawn point. He should be on the cycle in my previous described link.

This needs to be written as a script event.

Would help to have consolidated links/research prior to beginning work. That link is good, but I need more to eliminate guessing.

Heya nilbog

Ill see what i can dig up do you also need these named spawn locations ? i have found most of them roughly.

Also not sure if this helps but soblogh and farka the forsaken the only two that currently always spawning no placeholders the rest of the named i have found and killed have place holders.

Hello again


Found some more information about the cycle.

http://oldunsolvedquestsineverquest.yuku.com/topic/522/Named-NPCs-in-Swamp-of-No-Hope#.UuP6KCitulE

additional it seem their are 2 set of the named mobs from the list. so far i have been able to spawn and kill the dual set of weeping mantrap, bloodgore, fakra the forseaken, and blood skull. ONe set spawn around where solblogh spawn currently and the second set near the undead camp i mentioned in my first post.

I have killed a few other named in the vacinity of the undead ruins from my first post but have not been able to get these same named to pop near solblogh current spawn to confirm 2nd set of these named spawns.

[Buellen]

ok Nilbog is that enough ?
I have camped and confirm spawn loc here on p1999 for most of the mobs now except those last 3 on top. I was wrong about 1 mob having berseker loot its supposed to be all the named frogs except Ghoultongue guy.

Hope this is enough information and hopefully this cycle can be fixed.

Bumping

[Rygar]

While i understand scripting this may pose some difficulties, can you do a bandage fix and make soblohg a 25+ min spawn?

He currently can instant respawn between spawn points and is on a 6 min timer otherwise. Doing cycle proper to get him to spawn probably took a looooong time. You can gate between spawns and kill him super quick.

This guy is currently a blue diamond cash farm for noobs and is clearly not classic. Spawn time adjustments are warranted in this case i feel.

I don't know enough about the froglok berserker to know if he should also be more rare on p99.

[GreyDuck]

I think this finally got done (or Soblohg broken completely). Haven't seen him since last patch.

[nilbog]

Since the last patch, the berserker cycle should now be working as intended. The impaler cycle still needs more work.

[Bigcountry23]

While I will miss having Soblohg being my source of random Gems, it's good to see this cycle implemented!
