NPC Spawn Issue: Brother Zephyl - Hasten Bootstrutter

[aldred]

Hello,

This is about the spawn chain of Brother Zephyl - Hasten Bootstrutter - Maldyn the Unkempt - a drake.

Normally there is a despawn timer on these guys, so they they leave and another one take his place. That was in place to allow people to make both the Robe of the Lost Circle and the JBoots quests.

Atm there is no despawn timer on these creatures, so that means when Brother Zephyl is up, no one can do the JBoots quest, and as he's reptty strong for normal people, it's totaly impsssible to end the quest, but with a server restart (if you're lucky and Hasten pops).

So it would be good to fix it, if possible of course -> I don't know if it was like this in classic, but I've always seen it working like this in EQlive, since I started as Kunark came out.

Thanks a lot, Aldred.

yeah i too remember that there(2000) was a despawn timer for the mobs . it was like 4 hours or so . if the monk was up you could do hgs and stuff till he despawned and killing the phs till either the monk or hasten was up . spawntime of the 4 possible mobs was about 6 or 7 mins . remember killing drakes and hgs till spawn [You must be logged in to view images.

Not sure, but I think the mob spawned, made all his pathing and came back to his spawn point to despawn...

[majohnson87]

has this been resolved? roughly when does bro Z despawn?

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

FYI he does despawn, just took about 6 hours. he meaning Brother Zephyl.

6 hours is NOT classic, he is supposed to roam the entire zone once and despawn.... not roam for 6 hours..
