Anyone know if a respanw of a Sabak(nailah´s mob) can take more than 24 hours ? or it is buged or something ?
can i ask you something about maddening scalars mob... is it true as it says on VoS?Requiel said:There's no maximum time for any artifact to pop. Theoretically it could not pop for a year and not be bugged although the chances are microscopic of that happening.
As it's been a while since the last time, I'll just remind you all of how most encounters spawn.
Encounters have two variables that determine when they spawn. They have a spawn timer and a percentage chance. When the server starts the spawn timer starts ticking down until it reaches zero. Then the server rolls a random number and compares it to the percentage chance. If the number rolled is lower than the percentage chance, the encounter spawns if it isn't already spawned. Whether it spawns or not at that point, the timer resets and counts down again. This is why sometimes an encounter can spawn seconds after you kill it, the timer starts from the last time the server checked to see if it was up, not from when the mob dies.
Things like the newbie mobs have very short spawn timers and very high chances to spawn (like 10 seconds with 85% spawn chance for example) so these mobs are always up and respawn fast when killed. Some mobs have very long timers and very small respawn rates. I think the worst I've seen is 30 rl hours for a timer with a 20% spawn chance - on average that particular encounter would spawn once every 6-8 rl days.
Because each check is a separate random chance an encounter can go for a long time without spawning.
Visionofsages said:The secret to the spawning of the Scalars mob:
This is according to the new strategy guide, and it's very devious-Ok, there are those snakes, the uraeus, that spawn when somone dies, as well as some being around as regular mobs in Typhon's. Well, supposedly whenever one spawns, there is a very small chance for it to spawn as an invisible non-aggroing uraeus. When 9 invisible snakes spawn, they will move to the Scalars artifact loc and form the artifact mob. There is supposedly a 200 snake limit to the zone, so if there are 200 present, and less than 9 invisible ones, the mob will NOT spawn until some are killed, etc. Dec 29

There are some encounters which have specific spawn conditions - either because they are linked to quests, are instanced content or just start in an unusual way. Maddening Scalars is one like that, you can force the spawn to an extent by suiciding. I'm not going to say whether the info on VoS is true or not however. TG, Sidi and Galladoria have 100% respawns on a timer that starts from an ingame trigger event, so it works in a broadly similar way to nearly everything else but not exactly.Requiel said:I'll just remind you all of how most encounters spawn.

Thanks for info though.
