at least, this was the way it worked on live

Dis. But even after all these years it's still not been Confirmed. Only reason you got him on live was because server reset,fabled. Almost impossible to camp him

5 total spawn locations on a 122 hour respawn and 122 hour despawn. Each spot has a 10% chance of Vaniki spawning and a 90% chance of an invisible place holder. Vaniki is a unique mob (#) so only 1 Vaniki can be up at one time.

For practical purposes on live, Vaniki was pretty much a server restart or bust NPC.

On a server like this, Vaniki will be more common (via spawn not overall) since the 5 spawn locations will be more and more de-synchronized as more Vaniki's spawn (and get killed).
