Did his cycle for harbinger dronik to get the iksar illusion mask on live.
His cycle has a few particular details:
1- He has 16 named mobs who shares the cycle with him.
2- You get a named about every ~6 kills on average. There can be more than one up simultaneously. I've also seen a named spawn a named but it is rare.
3- Once you kill a named/forager, the next one repops instantly.
4- He roams quite far.
5- He probably has at least a dozen different spawn points in the zone
6- His area is HUGE. I've seen him roam just about anywhere except the 4 extreme corners of the zone and east of the lake. Seen him all the way east to lativ tower and the entrance to the ruins of sebilis and almost all the way to the north/south zone wall.
7- The cycle is somewhat dynamic. There is only one forager initially and the more foragers you kill, the more simultaneous spawns you get. I'd say you get an additional one every 6-12 foragers killed up to a maximum of ~12 up at a time. When there is one he can take a while to track down but with 12 up it wasnt all that uncommon to attack a forager and get a bunch of foragers adds. I have a screenshot fighting 6 at once. This resets back to 1 when server resets. Apparently this was to help people get keyed for sebilis on kunark releases.
8- Other frog shamans will SOW them so keep that in mind.
9- Track is pretty much mandatory if the cycle is at a low number or you want to find a particular named. The zone is big and they're almost all over. He seems to be most common around the river leading to the lake though but you'll want to cycle the whole zone to make sure you didn't miss anything.
10- The zone is so big it is pretty much impossible to pull to a static spot. Better track them down, kill on the spot and then move to the next one on track and repeat.
11- If there are only a few foragers on track, sort by "normal" for an easier time finding them. Once there are plenty, sort by distance and kill the nearest ones as fast as possible for quicker results.
12- The odds of getting a particular named seem to be 1/16 except maybe for harbinger dronik. Killed 86 named to get him and I've seen all named 2-10 times but not him. Could be just bad RNG but illusion masks tend to be painful camps so I wouldn't be surprised if his spawn rate was lower.
Good luck.
