Ok, being that I have done this quest 3 times now, for a ranger, a rogue, and a warrior, I thought I would shed some light on it. Now I am in the sweet position of having two accounts, if you have two accounts then it's very simple. Play one camp w/ the other, however for those less fortunate, I'll share some info. Stormfeather is a random generated spawn, no timer on him, believe it or not it's a random deal. He tends to spawn more often when you kill his placeholder. I too thought he was on a timer but I was speaking to a GM about it and the GM said start killing his placeholder (someone KS'ed me). I don't think the GM MEANT to give it awa, but I noticed when SF wasn't up, there was a Snow Cougar in his spawn location. I had stormfeather back in 4 hours of killing his spawn. This is not proof, may have just been lucky, but it did prove that it isn't a timer. his PH will despawn after a while, which may be why others have thought it to be a timer. The spawn location is on the hill by the three gnomes sitting down (they appear to be gambling) near the docks. Hope this info has been helpful to all you questers out there!
