Sir Lucan D'lere

[Otur]

'sup!

I logged Sir Lucan's spawn from 9pm to 4am EST, afterwards I checked him every 10-15th minute and noone I talked to have seen him since the last patch went up.
Is it possible that he's spawn is entirely broken, or did he not become a 12 hour spawn as intended?

7d spawn so early stage into the epic is quite the bottleneck and being MQable just makes it more painful due to KSing etc.

His spawn does not reset with the server reset.

Where are you getting information he should be 12 hours?

[Nirgon]

He did change to 1 day or 12 hours (can't remember which but is true) when epics went in. Very shortly after if not within the same patch.

That's correct. It eventually got changed to 12 hours, epic patch or close to it. I havent been able to find any specific sources, only incomplete walkthrus which tbh doesnt say much.

This isnt much of a 'source' but hey, atleast its something!

"Sir Lucan is currently a 1 week spawn; this spawn time is vastly reduced to 12 hours once it becomes part of the epic quest."

[Leolan]

bump. Can we get this fixed please?

[Ele]

The statement for 12 hours on the wiki link is not sourced. I tried looking on Zam and a few other epic walkthroughs and didn't see any information about spawn times on Lucan.

Someone needs to find a post contemporaneous with epics that discusses 12 hour spawn timer.

If I'm not mistaken Sir Lucan is on a 12hr spawn rate.

[Xadion]

I believe indeed that he was reduced from 1 week during the patch that reduced many epic cockblocks, not necessarily on epic release.

having a hard time as mentioned before w/ nailing some solid info on spawn, but in the comments here you have a mention of 7hr and 12hr.

Other comments throughout epic walkthru on allah suggest both those times as well.

Comments before that on allah's on wayback seem damn hard to find, and everlore had no info. No walkthru's for FD or Soulfire mention any week spawn, which I would think if it was a major issue or roadblock it woulda probably made its way into the walkthrough. I also remember helping 2 guildies with the quest in a very short time, but that is so far from any concrete evidence..
Still lookin, dunno if this helps?

Cant seem to get links workin right ;p but its apr 2001 on wayback Soulfire walkthrough.

He was 7 days when the epics first came out, for almost 2 months or so, then they patched in several changes to spawn times for mobs with insane respawn times involved in epic quests.


I do not have a list, however the Ishva Mal was one of the other mobs that had long spawn timer changed. Ishva was changed to a mere 27? minutes, assuming the same as the regular zone respawn.

It was around october - november 2000. There were no notes in any of the patches unfortunatally, but this stuff did in fact happen.

[Brinkman]

I also want to add that not every super long respawn mob was changed, what they did was balance it out so everyone had 1 or two stupid camps to do in their epic.

The way it was before, some classes had 1 and others had 4 or 5 really stupid camps and they evened it out a bit ( sony could have done better in their choices imo )

Dunno how i missed it the first time

in wayback gives an updated 2000 Dec walkthru "Soulfire made easy"
Qoute:

Step Ten: Head to West Freeport again. This is where you need your high level friends. You are about to take down Sir Lucan, who spawns in the Freeport militia house in West Freeport. (He is sometimes not there or not spawned yet, he has a 6 hour spawn time so wait) Lucan is only level 48ish but he hits hard and has a buddy named Brother Jentry who will completely heal Lucan. (Lucan hits in double 100s, similar to fighting higher-level named frogs in lguk)


Now I don't ever remember a 6hr spawn? But we are seeing more low spawn times. And the original walkthru "Soulfire made easy" is posted above that a few. Probably I stopped reading at that and didnt notice the updated 2 under it (same ones looks like) However it mentions nothing of Lucans spawn time.

Anyone have any good links or paths to patch files I can go thru in wayback ?

[Blackmartin]

bump. can any gm confirm if this is being fixed?

I have scoured waybachmachine to no end and the earliest captures they have of websites is from late 2000 at the earliest, and almost all posts talk about Lucan as either a 6-12 hour timer, but it certainly isn't 7 days. There are multiple accounts of people remembering Lucan spawn getting changed if not AT epic patch, shortly thereafter.

Can we please get an answer on this? Id rather you just tell us "No, it's not going to happen, deal with it." then just not getting an answer period. At least then I can just quit trying to find evidence to support this. I would think that with as many accounts of players here remembering the spawn time change, it should be evidence enough.

[Altrum]

bump.

Lucan should be a 7 hr spawn

We have 2 paladins in our guild who are currently doing the soulfire quest. We are making our plans to kill Lucan. Since we need to kill him once for each paladin I was wondering if anyone knew his spawn time after he is killed.

He is a 7 hour spawn. Once hes been killed he will spawn again in 7 hours

This is roughly 3 months after epics went in. Epics went in on Sept. 19 2000, and the post referring to Lucan as a 7 hour spawn is, Dec. 25 2000, 3 months after.

Fixed, pending update.
