Lets update...

All spawns over 12 hours have a +/- 10-20% to their spawn time. This was added long ago, when the first guild were farming Naggy and casters were farming Hadden to the second.

Mob, Level, spawn time, respawn time, zone

Spawn time is how long after the server resets before the mob spawns.
Respawn time is how long after death before the mob respawns.

Old Norrath:

Dracoliche****, level 53, instant, 7 day respawn, Plane of Fear
Fear Golems, ?, instant, 3 day respawn, Plane of Fear
Noble Dojorn, level 63, instant, 7 day respawn, Plane of Air

** - Lodi has a really weird spawn pattern. He tends to spawn every 16-20 hours, but he can skip spawns. But I've never heard of him skipping 3 spawns in a row.

*** - When you kill Maestro, a weak version of the Hand of Maestro will spawn where you killed Maestro. Then 12 hours after you kill that Hand of Maestro, another Hand of Maestro will respawn in the Maestos spot, and this one is as hard as normal Maestro. The Hand will continue to respawn until Maestro spawns again. Or something like that...

**** - I'm not sure if Draco respawns on his own, or only when CT respawns the zone when he spawns.

All long spawns have a small amount of variation built in to them. This was added quite a while ago.Friends currently on EverQuest:

Veeshans Peak isn't 7 days either. Nearest we could figure out it's 7 days + or - 24 hours.
This lines up with the 20% on 7 day mobs as variance at that rate would be +/- 33 hours roughly.

We have confirmation from Verant CS that a Naggy had +/- 20% from earlier in this thread plus the VP quote above.
I think we can deduce that the shorter the respawn time the lower variance was.
We also now have simulated server down times and it would be cool to get long respawn mobs just as it was in era.
