Again, they didn't say they had the respawn timer. I don't understand how this can be so confusing for someone who actually plays EQ. Even if you think it's 24 hours you still need to know 24 hours FROM WHEN.

Oh, I just realized you didn't actually click the link

In the Safehouse some guy camped him for 48 hours straight (the motivation...the time...) but that gob didn't show his green skin.

48 hours is longer than 24 hours +/- 10%. The mob doesn't move, even if you were AFK for 48 hours and someone turned in then the quest text would tell you he spawned. Even without that specific post the context and timing of the other posts suggests something changed, probably that it was broken, one guy says he checked for 4 days and one guy for weeks. There is nothing that I've seen that anyone thought Shady was +/- 3 hours.
