Thisle/bracken underbrush?

What you have to remember is that the roaming rares on emu are not exactly like they were in true classic. Mainly because we have no real way of knowing how they were coded so the project coders came up with their own approximation. Static rares are simple enough, rares in south karana, rathe mountains and other zones (Bilge/Pyzjin anyone?) are done completely different on emus. Quillemaine is a perfect example.

So.. even though allkhazam says something, doesn't mean that it works this way on server. I can certainly vouch that some spawns like Grizzlenot are not the same on emu as was on live. I can spawn Grizz on this server quite easily(he has 2 possible spawn points and PH's) but if I were to go to live I'd have to kill everything in certain parts of the zone and hope to find him.

So thistle/bracken most likely do have placeholders, but they may be on very long spawn timers (2+ hours like Grahzak/Mortificator are) which makes them very difficult to camp with any consistency. Most likely when you zone in and see them up it is because someone unknowingly killed the PH or they simply despawned and one of the underbrush's happened to respawn. Some of the rares in this game are like a 1 in 8 to 1 in 10 chance of popping. Combine that with a long spawn time, and or no known PH you can see why they are so rare.

could you spawn grizz for me? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

to spawn thistle just zone in from gfay, bind yourself right there and hit track. kill anything you can track from the zone in that isnt a named of some kind. that means wasps, bixies, fairies, skeletons etc. gate back and repeat until you see thistle

I used to farm him like mad in old eq live. I know the secret .. but I'm not telling until I get a pair of cords for myself before it gets overcamped. I'll return when I have a new pair of shoulderpads.

This. I have gotten a couple of pairs with Zhao and a few by myself doing it this way, this is how it works on this server.

I mean, it has a physical roaming PH - it's the same type of PH every time. That's the only hint I'll give til I get myself a pair (unless the p1999 scripters were not aware of the real PH and just put it random - if a dev says this, then I will tell what the real PH on live server is/was so they can update it if need be)
