View Full Version : NPC Spawn Issue: GoFundMe in support of penniless South Ro Sand Giant.

Recently I've been passing through South Ro quite a bit. One of the few locations in which sand giants may spawn.

I am aware there are several Sand Giant spawns, but I'm not sure exactly which this issue may pertain.

According to Zam (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=2449), they drop 43pp, ~35pp, ~35pp, 14pp, ~40pp, 39pp, ~40pp, etc.

However, our poor impoverished fellow in South Ro is consistently dropping no coin at all.

This is a very sad state of affairs, as he will not be able to take advantage of the Dark Elf merchants travelling through the area (indeed giants, like the AC, are attacking the merchants and unaliving themselves in S Ro, which my be a separate issue. I haven't checked the evidence yet).

TLDR a sand giant in S Ro isn't dropping cash money loot.

I managed to get two sandginas spawned at a time in S Ro (neither were AC ph) and neither of them dropped any pp (they are itemised to carry fine steel and the rest of the usual items).

This means the issue may not be isolated to a single spawn group.

Fixed, pending update

Good catch

Hey Nilbog, a SECOND south ro sand giant patch will be needed :o

I appreciate this one hasn't been made live, so I know I have identified another issue.

There is a separate sand giant spawn (one on the AC list?) which is only dropping around 3-5 PP - I suspect it is on a standard loot table for mobs of it's level instead of a sand giant loot table.

okay, i am pretty sure the spawn which drops 4pp is off the AC spawn list. The ones you fixed are the generic zone spawn giants.
