NPC Spawn Issue: Froglok Raider

[gotrocks]

The froglok raider for the Test of Pain quest that starts in cabilis.

The raider itself is in the swamp of no hope.

I realize that this was a previously resolved issue, linked here:

However, I feel the need to argue the spawn rate was potentially turned down far too low.

I've been in this zone for a few hours now killing the mobs around the camp and haven't seen a single raider spawn. I understand the OP for that threads concern that this quest was supposed to be "painful" and not easy like it was previously on p99, but this is a little ridiculous.

You're supposed to be collecting multiple pages for this quest, which means needing many raiders to spawn in order to complete it. Looking around, this quest was supposed to be able to be completed in your teens as an iksar SK. I am not providing any links because the next step in the quest, getting a glowing skull in kurns tower, is easily finished by a lvl 20 sk, so this step in the quest should be able to be done before that.

There is no way an iksar in his teens could clear enough of these placeholders to complete this quest. There's so may reds in the area around the camp I'm having difficulty dodging them at lvl 22, and thats while constantly circling to be sure they aren't getting near me.

Not sure what the spawn rate on these raiders is right now, but it should probably be closer to 30-35%. That would still provide a real challenge for an iksar in his teens/early 20's, especially in this area, without being too easy or too impossible.

Can gather more evidence if you need it nilbog, but I think the progression from this step of the quest to the next step of the quest, the levels required to complete those steps, and the current difficulty of getting these to spawn should be enough. In the link the OP provided in the previous resolved bug thread, it was stated that placeholders needed to be cleared to get the raiders to spawn, not that the placeholders needed to be cleared endlessly for hours to get a single page (out of... 12? i think)
