Its supposed to be you kill those mobs only at night, each one you kill gives you 10% chance of a pop from 9pm till like 6am. If you kill mobs that arent PH, like spiders, then it will start a spawn cycle for other mobs, like giants or terrorantula an actually prevents the AC spawn. So you couldn't just spam kill everything. I made over 600k on live servers popping South Ro selling MQ for 20k-50k a ring. You could pop one every couple hours if you knew the PH's.

Long ago, an original EQ dev leaked the actual script.
