Default Iceclad Ocean.. a few questions

1. Stormfeather spawn/respawn time. There is a lot of information (too much) about his spawn. How, exactly, did Stormfeather's spawn function in classic?

2. Lodizal respawn time?

3. Lodizal drops: On live, Lodizal now drops 2x maps, 2x loots, shell piece, and 4 spells. When I killed him back in the day, he dropped 1 map piece. When did this change?

4. Seaworthy Planking for the 'Breezeboot's Frigid Gnasher' quest: How many total spawn locations could this have and what was the respawn time?

5. Corudoth: Was this turtle in at original Velious launch?


Aside from these questions, the zone now looks really good. Lodizal eats gnolls and walruses, random rares are rare, and quests look great.

Note: During my research, I completed the Eyepatch of Plunder quest on eqlive and the Mighty Garou. They still... really suck. It took forever.

The original Lodi spawn would be hard to get right.. it was the stuff of rumors. Eventually it was fixed to be 12 with a +/- 1 hour variance, me and a friend claimed him every spawn for a month in PoP, however originally he supposedly skipped spawns sometimes, leading to wide speculation on when he pops. I would assume he has the same spawn timer, only the skipping was fixed. No idea if it was intentional or not.

I am basing this map/shell info off of http://dragonsofmist.dyndns.org/alla/npc.php?id=110099 as I honestly can't remember specifics and the site seems accurate, but I do know he could drop more than 1 shell. Regarding loot, one map was 100% and the other was a 35% chance, same for shell pieces. 2 random items(even the same item). He didn't drop 4 spells every time, according to a couple threads I dug up he sometimes dropped no spells. My memory was fuzzy on that since they were meaningless by PoP era.

I recall corudoth being in at launch, but no one used him because sony was nice enough to put Keref 5 inches from Lodi's spawn, so memory could be wrong. Eventually he was made to be uncharmable, but that was 4/21/04 from what I've found. He was for the quest Reinforcements for The Tunarean Regiment, which I never even knew about. I can't find any hard evidence of him being in at launch, but the quest has comments as early as 6/4/01.

Also, in before "BRO I HAD HIM SNARED IT WAS MY CLAIM."

Not often ill chime in on "How did this work" threads for lack of better words but..

I farmed Lodizal on the regular. When he would pop he would roam down by the ice sheets, around the village then back to the ice sheets. Far out enough that when a druid with live version track [Not the horrible version here since nerf.. sorry for the low blow Nilbog] he would sometimes be out enough that your track wouldn't show him EDIT: From being at gnoll village. 1 very important thing i'd like to add is he would randomly despawn for about what im recalling atm 10-20mins? Maybe someone else can add in on this, then respawn.

^ Above post is not saying he would respawn back to back every 20 mins if your lucky, im implying after his normal cycle time of spawning he would just randomly disappear then come back, I remember it bugging the hell out of me because I was on SZ and when I saw him up no one would be in zone, he'd despawn before I engaged then i'd be stressing that he wouldn't repop back in time before someone came in to clear him.

When I farmed him he always dropped 1 map 100% of time, I kinda want to say once 'n awhile 2? My memory is telling me both directions for some reason. Always dropped 1 shell + 2 items. It was a good day if you got 2 regen belts, just make sure u had a friend to loot other one since its Lore, good cash day. Spells I don't really recall as to how many / how often.

ADD: All I can remember about Stormfeather is being exactly a 36 hour spawn. I can confidently say that 100% spawned on the corner with back to dock on gnome island, up to the right, he never roamed. I'd very rarely find him in zone then join the auction channel and see if I could sell loot rights, of course after I dragged him way way out and snared him, then threaten anyone not to pay up i'd nuke and loot page infront of them :P

I recall this being a 36 hour spawn as well. Did two eyepatches on live around the POP era. I also remember him being stationary, as I would camp nearby any log on intermittently to check for him. Location sounds correct - He wasn't too far out from the dock.

At least 6 spawns that I know of (offland glaciers x2, gnoll lillypad x2, near port in, next to the fireplace in the gnome camp)

Can't speak for the respawn time, but it seemed common enough to not be a long one, I'd see the port one up really often porting in, and I'd always pick it up hoping it was another ground spawn, can't recall which now, snow griffon egg maybe?

I deffinetly remember Corudoth being in velious at release. I remember running along the shoreline and aggro'ing a green con named turtle being like "Oh I wonder what this fellow drops" only to find out that dropping all of my mana into him didn't even touch his health. He had 32k~ hps? I think, from what I can remember. Toughest green con I've ever seen, lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Stormfeather always spawned the same place. But he did roam after he spawned. Not far that I remember. I camped him at least 10 times on live. He would skip spawns. But not a lot of times. It was around 36 hours give or take 20 minutes for spawns. It was a Long ass camp, because if you left or fell asleep someone else got him. 20% clicky haste was the bomb for any Mellee class. I think every Ranger had one. Easy to get for them with tracking and no animal attack.

Problem was hardly anybody ever said when he spawned last. Server re-sets really screwed it up also. I remember a 63 hour camp one time for me. Never again. The trick is to go to sleep and turn the volume up really high and when he pops he screeches really loud Wings flapping. Wakes you up. When he pops it will raise your Heart Rate trust me. It is a killer looking Mob.

I always remember 2 map pieces on Lodizal. And almost always spawning near the water or in it by the little Islands with the Gnolls on them. Been a long time ago though.
