Stormfeather spawn rate
# Sep 22 2003 at 9:22 PM Rating: Decent
I will have to agree with the 19 hour 50/50 chance of spawning and then 100% spawning 12 hours later. A friend camped SF for 19 hours with no show. Then 12 hours later he poped and was taken down. I then picked up camp and waited ..at 19 hours he didnt show up so i waited another 12 and guess who showed up :)

1.) Find out what time SF was last killed.
2.) Wait 19 hours and pray he pops lol
3.) If he doesnt show at 19 wait another 12 hours, from my exp he will show 12 hours later.
Good luck and ITS worth it. :)

Changed spawn timer?

I was reading an earlier post that said SF was on a timer with a 40% chance of spawning after 19hours, then a possability at 30-33, and if not by then a 100% chance of spawning at 38hours. I have been sitting at the spawn point since 4hours after he was killed to now 49.5hours, no pop. Any clue if it has changed, or maybe he popped during the time when he was not supposed to according to this theory and I missed it. I know I was sitting here during all of the supposed possible spawn times. God I'm bored. I think this camp is a mean joke by Sony, just to see who the obcessive suckers really are. I already wasted one of my days off, might as well sit here for another.

WOOT, OMFG, ok so the timer IS EXECTALLY 19hours, but he skipped twice, which means 57hours. Downed at 6:27pm EST on Rodcet Nife server. Wednesday September 17. GL ALL!

Just a post to let you know that he just died on the Lanys T'Vyl server at 11:25 EST 9/02/03. He didn't show up at the tree but was at the north end of the the island cruising around. Used my bow to pull him and my Windblade made short work of him :) Now I am off to get the other parts. Good luck to all the others who are hunting for him.

Killed today on Druzzil Ro at 6am GMT after a long night... He popped exactly 34 hours after his last kill, suggesting that the 19 hour followed by a skip to 32-38 hour theory is a good one. Just adding some weight to that timer theory =)

Have to say I was pretty lucky, not only was he up and not a soul in IC when I logged my 32 ranger in, but no one came and checked on him while I sat at the NK spire and while I looked for a teleport in the PoK.
killing cougars may help?
# Aug 21 2003 at 10:46 AM Rating: Decent
Went to SF camp and no one else in zone. StormFeather was not up so I decided to kill snow cougars for a bit. Killed about 10 cougars (including Midnight) and SF popped right on top of me as I was killing 2 more cougars. Don't know if killing the Snow Cougars (especially Midnight) was just a coincidence or if this has something to do with triggering SF? (Like maybe after the 19 hours, Midnight or another PH cougar has to be killed first?).

Real glad this quest is over because I been checking on SF camp for a while. I don't camp it, I have an Alt Ranger parked here and I log him on when I start and finish playing for the day. If someone else camping SF, I ask if they know time of last kill before I go back to Main.

Hope this helps,
Enoon.

[Blue]I feel for you m8. Just today was camping sf (again need money for rediculousely expensive 63-65 spells) anyway some some worrior turns up with his shaman alt after 28 hours of being at sf camp and basically told me if sf pops while he is there he will kill it. so i emideately made a hot button

/target stormfeather
/pause 1
/pet attack
/cast 2 (spell being druid level 1 spell:Flame lick fast casting time and it means if little bear pet who is sat right under where sf pops doesnt get first agro flame lick will

i then go into options and then keyboard and to macro's and make hotbutton 1 bound to the + key on numeric keypad.

This allmost guarenteed me first aggro as soon as i see the bird i hit the button .

as for out damageing the warrior that wouldnt be hard when i can cast a fast 1150 nuke straight after i hit the hot button. The warrior and shaman stayed at the camp for about 4/5 hours after that and got bored.

Numerouse other people came to havea dabble a ks but left shortly after i found most people who were there to ks never have what it takes to sit there waiting the full length of his pop time, thats probably why they do it because they are ignorant, weak and have no respect for other's

but what can we do?

Anyway i have come to realise that sf pop time is NOT 19 hour's Id say the closest thing to the true pop time is 18 hours and if he doesnt pop on 18 hours he can just pop whenever he wants to. Im still at sf now been here with a friend all day had lodi ks from me by a guild who was in the zone at the time for the 8th shawl quest and i then solod lodi on his next pop while buddy stayed at sf camp 46 hours so far and have not left sf camp at all. i am tired [/Blue}

Stormfeather Spawn Time
# Jul 27 2003 at 4:39 PM Rating: Excellent
Here are the facts about his spawn:

1. After he dies or after server comes back up from a patch, he has about a 40% chance to spawn 19 hours later.

2. If he does not spawn after 19 hours, then he has a 100% chance to spawn 32 or 38 hours after he died.

3. He spawns on the slope (closest to the ocean) by the tree with the gnomes sitting underneath it. a cougar spawns in that point, he paths away from the dock ocean to the other side, goes slightly to the top of the hill, and returns to hit spawn point.

4. The cougars are 7-minute 45-second spawn and clearing them in any fashion will not make Stormfeather spawn earlier.



He ALWAYS follows this pattern. People saying that he didn't spawn until 48+ hours after he died most likely missed one of his spawns and never found out about it. The only surefire way to make sure you don't miss his spawn is to show up hours before the traditional 19- and 32- hour checkmarks and then wait around for a couple more hours afterwards to make sure he doesn't spawn late.

Bottomline is: 19 hours or 32/38 hours. Those are the choices.

So, lets say 19 hours goes by. At the end of the 19 hours it could skip or it could spawn. If it skips I've never witnessed it taking 30-33 from the skip time. It usually always spawns after another 19.

BUT, at the end of 19 hours it could be actually on the 30-33 hour cycle, and spawn after 11 more hours. Essentially, if you've sat there for 19 hours and it hasn't popped, it will either pop at the 30-33rd hour or the 38th hour.

got this **** today!! i'm a lvl 51 bard, and i've been camping him on and off for aobut a week. very boring, very long camp. buddy had his lvl 30 ranger parked over near lodi waiting for him to spawn. i was there for about an hour or so waiting for storm feather and lodi spawns. my buddy asks me to kite him around till he can get his 61 war and a few others down there to take him out. i go down to lodi and start kiting him around till he can get there, and after i get agro, he says it's gonna take him 20 min to get there. well, needless to say, lodi starts summoning me, and i'm dead :P i begin the task of running back from pok (my bind point), on a CR, and when i zone into iceclad i see it. that "it" would happen to be a mangy little griffin by the name of storm feather. faced with the dilema of kiting it around naked, or taking the chance of letting the 39 bard who was also there for SF get him. he was out kiting some cougars or something, but i wasn't taking the chance. i run up to SF: 2 1/2 min selos, dot, dot, dot... took a few min cuz i didn't have a drum in (still naked) but i finally got him. wasn't too worried about the 4 cougars beating me as i looted the second part of the map. they got me to bout 30 % health before i got the map piece, then BAM, i'm out like a bolt of lightning. go back over to lodi where my body was laying, and saw some other guys beating him down. i didn't care though, i already had that piece of the map. just got my eyepatch of plunder, and figured i'd share my story with everyone. GL hunting this guy.

HHARR HARR Finally got it lol. I have been caping 4 days in total:
-1st day (i had the dead time but it doesnt actually work trust me). 6 hours camping... nothing
-2nd day. 7 hours camping... nothing
-3rd day 6 hours camping... nothing
I finally decided to play Counterstrike and enter every 2 hours or so. Did it during the night another 6 hours. Went to sleep and i wake up this morning to see if the damn bird is there and NO it isn´t GRRRR, i press sit, camp and in 15 secs i see Stormfeather hits you for 19 dmg!!!!??? OMFG it has spawned, while i was camping!! hahaha.

What this means, just camp it eventually dont waste your life there and play your char, if you dont mind wasting some pps on ports or you have a porter friend get it every 2 or 3 hours you will get it :). Best time to get it is during late night when almost noone is in zone, or maybe some druids area kiting tigers or things like that. Good luck to all those who are camping this lovely bag plenty of feathers, dont give up YOU WILL GET IT without exception.

Got that Mutha Fu…Shut yo mouth…I’m just talkin’ bout Storm Feather. It started Saturday July 5th the server crashed (Mithaniel Mar) at 10:30 a.m. PST. A friendly Woodie Ranger by the name of Dakotador beat me to the camp. I stopped by after dying several times that day (because I was bound in IC) to keep her company while waiting for my Rez. The next day I logged back in at 6:30 a.m. Dakotador was still sitting on the hill so I joined her to help keep her company and be next in line for the camp. Sunday night Dakotador ran outta gas and kept dozing off. She turned over the camp to me at 3:00 a.m. on Monday. I stayed awake by setting the timer alarm on my watch to go off every 5 mins. Right after my alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. some blur appeared on my screen when my eyes focused I saw it was a beautiful white Griffin with gold trimmed plumage. I conned the sucka (green to me). LET THE BEATING BEGIN!! I ran under him hitting him with a throwing dagger to gain aggro and pulled him to a spot between the docks and the Gnome Pirate village so no cats would join the fight and proceeded to pluck the feathers out of him one by one for having me sit at that camp for 23 hours. After turning in all my items and receiving my eye patch I looked up to see my girlfriend glaring (DOHHH) at me for not coming to bed all night. I don’t have to sleep on the couch but have to reduce my EQ playing time 8(….. to increase Girl Friend Faction at least back up to amiable.

“You better watch who u messin’ with. I’m like a bicycle with out the seat…I’ll get in your ********

TIPS
1. When u plan to camp SF throw that 19-hour spawn timer out the window. He shows when he wants too.
2. I was sitting at the top of the hill looking toward the docks. SF spawned to the left of the tree with the 3 Gnomes and started up the hill toward me
3. If u are a class that gets aggro from the cats pull him toward the dock. The gnomes do not attack any mobs.

HASTE STACKING
I was told that Captain Nalot’s Quickening does not stack with other hastes. But last night on a VS kill in KC a 69 Chanter cast Vallon’s Quickening on me and it did not cancel out my CNQ. I do not know what the haste cap is but I think all the hastes did stack cause my Back Stab key seemed to pop back faster than it’s usual rhythm. I can only wish all my haste did add up, Ragebringer 40% + CLQ 20% + VQ 68% = This little Gnome rogue goin' into over drive on his back door boogie.

Gripes
I sent a petition just to ask a GM if his skipping spawns was a bug. A nice GM took time to answer me. He said that the SF spawn was working as it should. I tried to get him to tell me if it was actually a 19 hour spawn but he said he could not tell me yes or no. But did say I could send complaints and suggestions about the spawn by using the /feedback command. So I suggested them making SF a triggered spawn which u did a side quest for that way the could make him a tougher mob that would take 2 or more groups to take him down. Anyway if enough of us send feedback on SF maybe they will change the spawn because this camp is SUCKS A$$.
RE: That Dirty Bird
# Aug 22 2003 at 8:28 PM Rating: Default
Vallons Quickening and Nalots can be both on you at the same time BUT....The Hastes do not stack. Its kinda like having a FBSS and SCHW on...whatever has the higher haste is what you get. Same with spell hastes.
Finally killed him today!

Woot! I finally killed him today after 19 hours of sitting there. He spawns on the top of the hill just above the 3 gnomes that sit buy the tree, I was pulling about 10 cougars just when he popped I almost died and killed when I was only 30% health. I killed him at 12:30 Central U.S time about 38 hours right after Ezakirth killed him grats man . =)

Info :
* No placeholders, so don't bother killing cougars
* Bring something to work on, like fishing
* /join Auctions =) it'll pass the time
* talk to people
* for people that look like they can KS, tell them nicely that SF i camped

I would like to thank the Morell Thule community for everything, especially to Fleshripperz, a great SK )

Got the Stormfeather map piece today, I must say I slaughtered that griffin with an extreme satisfaction. ( I then drank his blood afterward, but thats just me ). Ontop of that , Lodizal spawned within 5mins of Stormfeather spawning.( this is because our server reset)


I highly suggest you follow the directions on the post titled "the real info. on stormfeather" by samfisher because it is accurate, everything he said about the spawn is true.

This camp is obscene, but worth it they say. Since this is my last map piece I'm going to go through with the quest.
*Starting* the camp of Stormfeather is the worst because you don't even know what time hes due to spawn so you have to sit around freeballing in the snow until he does, or recearch every damned person on the server and ask if they know anything about recent Stormfeather kills.
I sit on his spawn point as I write this. Perhaps I can go afk for a few days and he will spawn and attack me ( like all the other stories of people coming back to their computers to find Stormfeather has killed them ) but I'll be wearing a fungi and a nice 53damage 2hander so I can riposte him to death while I sleep :)
