afaik the 23 hour theory was just a theory.
If you check eqcleric.gameglow.com and go back around to page 100 in the items/drops section, you can do some deeper research.
Back during the ragefire poopsocks, Elethia and I were both doing independent research in this forum and I don't believe either of us found anything saying "0-23 is spawn time after the initial 0-72".
There were many EQ servers back then, and a lot of the time on eqcleric you had people posting about their early spawns, but no one was rushing to the boards saying " mine popped in 60 hours".
Part of being a cleric on classic was knowing that the initial 0-72 hour spawn(mault's that was 5 hours in post-naggy death) was the best one to have, simply because it was guaranteed you knew in 3 days there would be a Ragefire. The other ones were more vulnerable to server repops, especially if Nagafen had stayed up for a few days after a patch.
