Vessel was even more common on live than 2-4 day respawn. This is because the server came down at a predictable interval every week and he was always up following it.
It was an average 3 day respawn and a free one every 7th day due to server maintenance. Spawn rate on P99 is ridiculously low.

That’s a very good point. Basing VD’s spawntime for p99 on Bjornstar‘s info (kudos for all his research on the chanter epic) is not reasonable, as I witnessed yesterday that both VT & VD spawned after a quake, whereas he claims they do not. His info on this matter is not accurate, which was already proved for VT in the past.
Playing on live I remember the chanter epic to be one of the easier attainable ones, not relying on rare contested drops like other epics, just two bottlenecks (VD & VT), easy kills you just needed to wait for. And, like Zipzapzop wrote, due to weekly server resets you could just camp out your team at the spawnpoint and gank him. This was done regularly, all the chanters in my guild (Weltenbrand - Druzzil Ro) at the time (99-03) got VD that way.
Taking some stress out of VD would also help the current competition between lootright sellers and the players who either don‘t have the affordable amounts and/or are not willing to pay for their epic and would want to earn their epic by investing the time needed for a poopsock camp. Seeing what happened at VD after the quake yesterday speaks for itself. We need a fix to this, so please, change the spawntime so we can have the classic game experience.
