So what is up with Defiled Lord Byron's rediculous spawn times in Stormhold?

[SnowKnight]

<DIV>So was going through stormhold on my bezerker alt and got the sword of thunder drop about level 18, level 20 quest i figure ill be able to do it before 22 at least right? wrong. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The first part is easy enough kill 100 skeletons/zombies.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The second part requires killing 3 named mobs. Two are fairly easy to get. The third, Lord Byron is a PITA. I have been here for over 8 hours clearing phs, and have not seen him spawn once. To put it into perspective, i got all 4 named for screaming mace much faster than just one named. I have gone from level 20 - 25 camping him so far, just killing skeles around while I wait. I understand that the item is nice, but jesus christ I could mine for 2 hours and get weapon nearly the same made.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways Id like to see him spawn more often, its pretty sad when HQ named spawn faster than this guy, whos needed for 2 non hq quests I know of.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And yes I was ranting a bit, but you would be too after over 10 hours in SH <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for listening.</DIV><p>Message Edited by SnowKnight on <span class=date_text>10-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:59 AM</span>

I love stormhold for nabbing a few master chests when Im going through those levels.  Lord Byron was definately the hardest mob to spawn though out of all the names in those rooms.  Quartermaster Berlin pops a lot more often.  Check who is racing through the rooms farming the master chests and ask them to msg you when the mob pops up - IM sure most wont mind you joining them for the kill. <div></div>

<P>Farmers were not the problem (for once) as when I play usually im the only person/group in zone, that and the fact we were there each time the ph popped. I finally got him though, about an hour after I posted here <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Still i think he needs to pop more often. 8 Hours camping is a bit much imo, esp at level 20 <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

this guy is a PITA to spawn, i remember when he was considered easy tho, some things have definitely changed since launch, hardly any bottlenecks if people complain enough! a few more threads come up, and this guy will be on a 4 minute spawn.

<P>Not asking for a 4 minute spawn, but when you outlevel the item you need to kill him for before you get it...</P> <P>Not only that but theres easier fabled to obtain in fg. All I'm asking is for him to pop more than once every 8 or 9 hours. It WAS a fun quest - right up till the 3rd or 4th hour camping thise [Removed for Content].</P>
