How do placeholders work?
Noob question here.
I understand that named mob's often have placeholders that spawn in their place. If I'm camping one of these, do I need to continuously kill the placeholder for the best chance to spawn the named mob? Or will the named just spawn over the placeholder when it's time? Wiki on placeholders could use an update on this: https://wiki.project1999.com/Placeholder | ||

For 99% of named camps, kill the placeholder as soon as it pops. The named and the placeholder are not on independent respawn timers. They're on a single timer. When the respawn timer is up, a dice is rolled and if you get lucky then the named spawns. Otherwise, you get the placeholder.

Each time a mob does spawn there, there is a chance (usually a much lower one for the named) that either one will spawn ... X minutes after the last named/PH dies (where X is the respawn time). Quote:

Thanks for the explanation, loramin and Ralexia. I've updated the wiki to reflect this.

1. Ancient croc in guk. Each spawn you either get Ancient croc, or a variable number of lower level crocs. In order to trigger the count down for the next spawn you need to kill all of the mobs that spawned. 2. Raster of Guk in lower guk. This is pretty weird, but there are details on the wiki https://wiki.project1999.com/Raster_of_Guk | |||

Some are just a little more complex: for instance, some camps have a chance of two differed PHs or two different nameds, so you can get one of three mobs appearing. But some get crazy complex. Quillmane is one common example, but I'm currently experiencing the hell of the Magician epic, which requires Magi Pasta (Magi P'tasa), a Hate mini. The Magi shares ten different spawn points with a nine other nameds ... plus some non-nameds. Oh, and did I mention that every one of those spawns has a respawn time that varies by a day, so if you kill one it's replacement might show up between 2.5-3.5 days?
