13 named rares for Hunter of The Southern Plains of Karana.

4 gnolls from Paw, these are optional. Easy to hunt because they each have a unique placeholder and they roam a path around the Paw zone area.

1 static spawn, Lord Grimrot, at 1378, 1172 underneath a platform in the skeleton circle, respawn roughly 2.5 hours. Placeholder is one of the putrid skeletons, the only putrid one standing up. Most skeletons and putrid skeletons have a quick respawn, but the ph for Lord Grimrot has a long spawn time. There are two versions of Lord Grimrot, you need the live version, the undead skeleton version doesn't count for hunter.

Cycles

There are 8 roaming named rares on cycles -- these are the difficult ones to hunt. While you could run around killing every roaming trash mob you find, that method probably takes a lot longer.

Cycle respawn time is 60-66 seconds. Compared to most trash which respawns in about 30 seconds. Centaurs maybe a couple minutes.

Tracking

South Karana is big. The best ranger can only track about 5500 distance here, while the zone is 10000 north-south, 7000 east-west. So rangers can track the whole zone from the center, but from the ends of the zone they can only track part of it.

Mobs on a cycle spawn in a limited area specific to their cycle, but then they roam the whole zone. So it is not possible to choose the cycle you're hunting before you start on one, because all trash are mixed together throughout the zone. It's best to have the zone to yourself so you can control the respawns in your track window and keep random respawns to a minimum. Even then there will still be the occasional mob death and random respawn when mobs fight each other.

To find a 60-second spawn cycle, set your track window to normal, kill trash mobs, and check the respawn time in your track window. One way is to gather a pile of trash mobs, kill them all at once, and wait to see if any of them respawn in the 60 second time frame. If you find a mob with the right respawn time, track it down and kill just that mob, and repeat. This is a cycle and every mob in it will respawn after 60 seconds including eventually the rare. There are also a couple of additional cycles for named mobs that aren't on the hunter list. For a list of the potential placeholders for one of the rares, check the comments page for that rare. Note that freshly spawned mobs stay in place for about half a minute, always facing north, before starting to roam.
