Frontier Mountains Named Cycle

[maultar]

Looking to get in touch with someone who is both experienced in this and someone who has successfully started the named cycle on this server.

I tried the other day and could not see 1 trigger mob. No obvious named mobs and no "a raider goblin" or "a Burynai blah blah" with a capital B. No odd variation of a brute etc.

I have tried it on this server with no luck. I did it all the time on live with no problems.

There's a mob it can land on that breaks the cycle (i.e. mobs stop popping) and you need a zone or server reset to get it started from there.

This may not be what's going on, because one of the placeholders at the giant spawn is a mountain giant hillock, and you need to start killing those to see if another cycle mob pops. This can take an hour or more depending on how many are up and how lucky you are.

This could be it. If I recall the hillock doesn't have any special spelling to the name, the only clue it could be the PH is that it has less HP than a normal one.

I've killed a hillock in that area the only other ones are way up nw and in the middle, how far does it roam from the giant sw corner?

The general area of the SW zone is around -3300, +1200

It wanders pretty much all the way to the Burynai spawn point, down to the BW zone, then SE to the abandoned hut. So basically the SW quarter of the zone.

If any of you are bored or able try it out this afternoon let me know. I'll buy dustcryer's ball, its all I want from there.

<---will pay more for the ball!

This zone really makes me wish I had a ranger as playing with the spawn cycles there sounds fun.
