AC in Sro

[Stickyfingers]

Camp it in OOT Imo. I don't know the deal with SRO, but I have like never seen it pop there, even camped it with a friend for like 8 hours with no pop in SRo. Went to OOT and got it to pop within an hour in the two times I have camped it.

yea that was my next step to do the OOT AC. Will just need to find some help go go warrior solo? O.O Thanks for the info.

I am echoing the statements above. There is some serious EQ voodoo involved in the SRO one, and from my experience it spawns far less than OOT.

Experiences will vary, but I was part of getting 3 rings at the OOT camp, and each time it was within 2 hours. Once it was the 3rd or 4th spawn.

Good luck!

What are the specifics on the OOT AC? I have always gone for the SRO one, mostly because I could solo it the earliest (sometime in early 30's).

I looked up the AC in OOT and got several different answers, I guess his spawn loc/ph changed as time went on.

On p1999 what island is he on, and what is the PH?

Also what does my necro need to be to solo?

If ZAM is accurate and he is 31-32 you should be able to easily solo him at 29+ provided you are SOW'd. I was soloing giants at 28, but it was rough at times. However they are more along the lines of ~35. Also I highly recommend using Engulfing Darkness instead of the level 29 snare (Dooming) in order to conserve mana in case you get a few resists. Just kite it with darkness, boil blood, leach, lich spell on, and let your pet do the work. Also keep your level 1 disease dot up in case you need to get aggro away from your pet.

I camped the Sro spawn for 20 hours straight with nothing, then after 3 hours (on my birthday no less!) of killing the 30 minute PH he spawned.

On live my total camp time was almost a hundred hours(weeks of a few hours at a time) so this time around it seemed easy =D

I already spilled the beans on how to optimally camp SRo AC on P99 in another thread on these boards.

The massive amount of confusion stems from a few things:

1) Night and day are an hour off on this server.
2) The AC spawned in more than one spot on Live, or at least it used to.
3) Bullshit theories about how killing various static mobs has an effect on things.

The reason why the AC spawns in one spot on this server is that a EQ developer supposedly spilled the beans in a forum post as to how it worked, and everyone takes what the guy said as the gospel for some reason.

no voodoo, it isn't like live tho. shoot me a tell in game, if i'm near sro, i'll show you.
