Venril Sathir remains

Spawn time is supposed to be 12 & 24 hours after time of death. Was variance added to this NPC?

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=6365

Information is pretty sparse but from everything I've read and heard from classic players, it is spawned at least once 24 hours after the kill, and meant to drop 2 stones for epics. Did not spawn after 24 hours.

this is a variance server - even Vindi has variance

Vindi drops loot though; VS remains is a quest mob. I've seen many of those without variance.

Some quest mobs had variance though. Enchanter epic mobs, Undead Bard is 18-24 hours, Mini's in Hate always had variance.

There is another upgrade coming in the next Era Patch for VS and VSR that increases the frequency of their spawns. Should be working as intended for this era month.

See this thread for some information on the upcoming change.

Stormfeather is a quest mob, has variance

It's nice that so much is known about these mobs at least; whereas the variance and/or spawn of VS remains is basically a complete mystery.

he was just introduced like a couple weeks ago and it takes players mapping out spawn times and windows to see where his window falls...

yeah a game = work sometimes

He should be spawning immediately after VS's death for 1 month, then changed in the April era to a timer after VS dies. I haven't been in KC in months, but if you waited 24 hours to check, then you likely missed him.

1 month after VSR/Fay Triggers (4-4.5 months after Velious) = VS becomes ~3 day spawn and VSR much faster spawn rate. For a month of VSR, it appears directly after VS dies, so people can leave it if they don't need his other drops (we'll see how that pans out).

Was a double patch day on April 17, 2001:

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010417a.html

We have increased the spawn rate of Venril Sathir and his skeletal remains. Please note that only Rangers and Druids will be able to trigger the spawn for the skeletal remains, and those remains will only be dropping items for those epic quests. Hopefully these changes will dramatically reduce the competition and resentment over this spawn.

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010417b.html

To clear up some confusion, we wanted to let everyone know that we have changed the timing of the spawn of the Venril Sathir remains. It no longer appears directly after the death of Venril Sathir. And we also urge you to read the patch message below about the changes to this creature.

I did not wait 24 hours to check.

I tracked him while he was being killed, and tracked right afterwards. No VS remains spawned; 24 hours was what I was told afterwards, so I checked then as well. Nothing. I confirmed it with the guilds that killed it (Europa/Omni/Azure Guard) and they also said that no remains were spawned or killed.

I was also leveling in KC in the interim and saw nothing.
