You're just unlucky. Farm the 5k to get the boots, it's much faster.

Just curious... how much plat can be farmed per hour?

Just finishing another 12 hour adventure camping the AC. This will put my odds around the same as rolling about 70 6-sided dice and not rolling a single 1. I'm curious how percentile chance spawns work. I'm assuming they use the same random number generator as when you do a /ran. I am betting this is not a complicated random number generator and probably uses something like the system time to seed it. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Exactly when did you kill the PH at 11am? Was it instant, or did it take a few seconds? Do all rantings of 3-day AC campers sound like this? Any info appreciated. Thx. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rinyen - I ended up getting him to pop at 9 am after about 5 hours at the camp. You were logged off by then so I couldn't tell you in game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

500-1k depending on time of day, zone population, luck and efficiency.

geez, 5 more hours huh? This is starting to sound more and more like a 1% spawn chance... that would actually make sense. There is just no way that it is 10%.

OK... so i just had something really strange happen. I was waiting in line for the AC again, and my /time said 11am. When I told the guy he needed to hurry and kill the PH, he said on it is only 10am. About 60-90 seconds later, he said his clock now said 11am and he began to kill the PH. Sure enough that next pop was the AC. I tried to coordinate with everyone else in the zone and they all seemed to agree with my time, but I only spoke with 2 people. What in the hell could cause someone to have such a drastically different /time. This could be the reason myself, or some people, can never get that AC to spawn. I dunno, I'm going to investigate this more.

GOT IT! That was painful though. Spent another 6 hours, and finally got it to pop at 9pm game time. I don't even want to do the math or look at the odds on my total time there, lol. I guess being stubborn pays off. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got him just now in South Ro. Killed according to the list and got him to spawn at 9pm after a couple hours. I've spent probably 10 hours camping him or waiting to camp him total.
