<P>Byron is the one standing next to the Quartermaster, not the one in the front of thwe Quartermaster's room.</P> <P>Kill the ph next to the Quartermaster, then scoot down to chessboard, go into the dining room in the back and stop the globe from spinning.</P> <P>Next spawn will be Byron.</P> <P>Doesn't always work, but has worked 5 out of 7 times for me (altaholic).</P>

[Mr. Dawki]

<DIV>thankyou</DIV>

Ok  So after 4 hours sitting patiently in the room for Lord Byron, I finally searched and found this trick.It did not work. So, either this quest should go, or something be done about this timer. The reward is great, but the wasted game time was the worst expenditure of and wasted hours of my life.  I gained 2 levels waiting in that room for the pop...  It is silly, and a total waste of time.Please fix or deleteThanks

Note: I've seen suggestions that these three are a "one of the above" set, that is only one of them's up at any given time, and that they start from the blacksmith and sequence through. So you may want to go see if the blacksmith is up, kill him, then quickly (before he repops) set up Alexandria. Once you kill her, go set up Byron before the respawn.

<p>So as of right now (and I'm still camping) I've been on Byron for about 5 and a half hours.  I figured throwing a petition in game would help.............HAHAHAHHAHAHA, not at all.  Here's the first response I received.</p><p>I am GM Yxyran on behalf of Sony Online Entertainment In-Game Support following up on your spawn issue. I do understand how frustrating it can be to wait out a difficult to locate mob. The bottom line is the rarity is on par with the value of the quest. I verified that the NPC's in question are spawning and being killed on your server almost on a daily basis including early this morning(and one this afternoon by you). I am sorry, but 2 hours is not a terribly long wait for a rare spawn. I will cross my fingers and wings and wish you good luck on your next spawns.</p><p>So, I killed the battlepriest after 2 hours of camping.  They didn't even discuss Lord Byron as I mentioned in my petition.  Also, they're saying that the spawn is based off the value of the quest.  This quest is only good for the EBCC...........THATS IT!!!!!!!!!  It's not really that valuable.  After I replied to this message, they came back and said I should post on the forum because the developers review these constantly.  I think its all a bunch of balogna but I'm doing it anyway.  So, 5 1/2 hours of my life have been wasted and I'll probably go to bed without the pop....only to start over.  I pay monthly to play and enjoy a game and hopefully accomplish something during the time I'm on.........not sit and wait for something to happen.  Sony really needs to review some of their spawn policies.</p>

<p>I didn't have any problems finding any nameds in Stormhold the other day when I went there with my alt for AAs. Popped in and opened track and went hunting, got all except the troll at the bottom within 2 hours <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Any named that wasn't up I just killed their PHs and moved on to the next named and then went back to check once their spawn timer was up. Killed nameds multiple times for some extra loot too. I guess it's all up to random luck.If you sit and wait/camp isn't that your choice?</p>

[daddyoh25]

<p>You're right!!!  It is our choice to camp/wait.  And I want to complete quests while I'm playing the game that I pay for.  I dont agree with waiting 6-7 hours for something to spawn (which I finally gave up at 7 hours last night) just to complete a quest.  Thats my argument.  Sony needs to take into consideration that people dont want to wait 7 hours for something.  They would like to get on the game, accomplish a quest and move to the next quest. </p>

So you started a thread on this subject AND necro posted another one that hasn't had a post in over a year?

<p>This quest was in my journal for the longest time. After spending many hours killing a PH that spawned every 15 minutes, I finally sent in a petition for help.</p><p>It ended up taking the help of 2 GMs to get things to work right. The first GM was way super helpful, and actually helped me with a few bugged issues in my journal. First GM looped in another GM who respawned Battlepriest Alexandria, because there was a bug with the named not popping at all.</p>
