F.O.D raid boss insta-spawn

the raid boss at cursed village spawns every single night (that is 12:01 am game time)

might go some way to explaning why raid farmers never leave the rune gate keeper

so bug or design flaw?

Neither.

They are 'NPCs', so they respawn as such by the time they hit the NPC status in the daytime.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a flaw though.

well thats arguable
they are npcs at day time but a raid boss (and minions) at night time
guess i should note that the raid boss is needed for a quest there
but haveing a raid boss spawn every 4 hours on the dot is just a big fat invitation to every raid boss farmer on the server

does make them alot easier to target i guess
now i just need to get about 30 cdling mages that dont care about loseing xp give them full buffs every 4 hours and we can do some damage

or just go there ahead of time with a Prophet and SE. Give the raid Resistance wind Magical Barrier Haste WW Might Mental Aegies

And Berzerk the tank.

My friends have done it 4 times so far and wipe 3 out of 4 farmer raid groups gotten avadon helm and doom shield so far lol

Really easy to do since you know exactly when the raid boss is going to spawn.

or just go there ahead of time with a Prophet and SE.

well they are there seconds before it spawns

and not my job to kill farmers apart from the fact that im a solo ws it should be nc's responsibility to ban anyone who is playing for the solo purpose of RL money tradeing

still think its a dumb idea to have a raid boss spawn every 4 hours
it does make it pretty easy for a large alliance to go in pwn the farmers then take the raid boss
but with them raiding the boss 6 times a day everyday do you think the drops will be worth it?

Drops
Majestic Heavy armour Designs
Sword of Miracles Blades
A armour enchants
Nightmare heavy armour Designs
Nightmare heavy armour

I was there just got to do the quest before they killed it.

It dropped 6 A armour enchants 29 SoM blades and 19 Nightmare armour designs.

So you figure out if its worth the kill lol

t dropped 6 A armour enchants 29 SoM blades and 19 Nightmare armour designs.

thats friggn sick
lol i dont care anymore they can farm the thing 24/7 just gonna mean cheaper enchants and som blades for me

and not my job to kill farmers apart from the fact that im a solo ws it should be nc's responsibility to ban anyone who is playing for the solo purpose of RL money tradeing

True. But they choose not to. If I ran an MMO I wouldn'y volunteerly ban 45% of my revenue either.

and these people actually play, or a few do.. whatever the case they are not leaving any third party program unattended like most farmers. So it would be hard to ban them, they aren't exactly doing anything wrong. Maybe selling the adena for RL cash, but thats a lot harder to prove than 3rd party program use.

They need to fix raid bosses in some manner, so that they cannot be so easily monopolized.

The respawn time is predictable, hence, you can be there BEFORE The farmers, grouped, buffed and ready to go. You can PK them, kill the raid boss and move out. Turn the FotD Raid Boss into an immediate killzone for them, and they wont keep coming for it.

Or, you can just be killing the boss by the time they port in. We killed him last night with the farmers standing there watching. 27 DLE Blades 16 Maj Heavy patterns, and 3 EAA.

The nice thing about this, is the farmers are getting into patterns on raid boss spawns, and its easy to be there and ready to go before they are.

So does this spawn 2 or 4 times a day? or just once?

wondered why there was always a bunch of nukers hanging out around Rune GK.

So does this spawn 2 or 4 times a day? or just once?

i beleave lineage time is 4x faster than real time
so every 4 hours pow new raid boss

So, it's 4 times a day that you can farm the farmers :P
