at no time in the history of EQ (on any server) has Stormfeather been treated like a raid target.

At no point in the history of EQ (on any server) has Stormfeather had a variance.

Stormfeather was always considered a camp. players tried twisting it into an FTE mob to suit their own needs.

No reason to shit on the people camping it because you cannot be bothered to man up like the rest of them.

I don't think that constitutes "manning up". It's more like "turbonerding out".

this wasn't a rule change, this was a rule enforcement. there's a difference.

Yep, i agree with you bud. Thing is, since now people been threating it as a camp and the FTE message is gone... No reason to have a variance. Dont you agree?

Variance is to avoid socking fesfival/jav spamming. Since its now a camp, no reason to maintain the variance. - thats what my post was all about.

Thanks for reading.

I don't know about variance, but Stormfeather could definitely skip a spawn.

Stormfeather doesn't have a variance.

Is this new? I know he skips but from my logs there was +/- 1 hour.

Unless they're between level 30-55 and out of your range. I guess if you have a level 60, 52, 44, and 36 character parked to PvP...

No list means a cluster if 2 people are sitting there when the current camp holder gets a Stormfeather.

There should never under any circumstance be 2 people sitting there behind someone who is camping it. Ever. Did you both arrive at the same time? At literally the same moment to sit behind the current camper? Then /random.


Don't make this difficult. If the stupid bird is camped go elsewhere and enjoy the game. If it is camped by one person and you have 19-38+ hours to wait before you can take the camp then I GUESS you could sit there? But to have any more than one camper and one person behind him is insane. To assume a list is even more insane.

I see. I responded before checking (oops), because Stormfeather doesn't behave the same as database spawned npcs (where variance is handled). It does actually have a variance on respawn handled in a script.

That being said, the comments on allakhazam include several discussions about variance:

Ok. Just did stormfeather 7 times. 6 Were in a row . 33 +/- 3 hours.

Killed Stormy many times over a 2 week span (getting eyepatch for alts and guildies) his spawn times is roughly 28 hours, +/- 3 hrs he always took at least 26 hours to spawn and as late as 31.

Just killed Stormfeather 2 spawns in a row. Kills were 35 hours, 48 minutes apart. this seems to match the idea of 32hrs +/- 2 hours or so.

his spawn does seem to be around 29-31 hours

Using the 31+/- hours theory, I'm sitting there right on top of SF spawn point. He spawns a full 2 hours ahead of schedule, I Harm Touched him, dead. He spawned 26-28 hours after his previous death.

Those were some comments I found on the first 2 pages for Stormfeather. Perhaps people can research further, and if evidence is found, I can edit the script. If there should be a variance, what we have right now is too short.
