Maleko, Sea Prophet  

Maleko spawned for me at the entrance to the bridge where 2 goblins spawn.

I can usually log in and kill for an hour or so and get at least one spawn of Maleko in the tower at the end of the bridge. The only tidewater mobs that I cycle are the two statics out in front of the bridge, the roamer on the bridge and the two in the tower.

I confirm that he pops after zone reset/patch.
He was up in the northern single underwater hut when I found him after servers came up after patch last night.
Dropped the totem piece and the belt.

Fistus Wu
The Nameless

Killed only his placeholder for 1 hour, and he popped. Killed the placeholder for 24 hours before he repopped.

I've been camping these stupid water goblins for the past 3-4 days, 6+ hours each, and I have not seen this named spawn even once, after clearing the bridge and the underwater alcoves. This is one serious case of the WTFs.

I can understand that SOE placing a lot of timesinks on these quests to force their players to invest time in the game, but this is just beyond retarded.

Increase the spawn rate on this mob. I would like to move on to other more fun quests; I want to play EverQUEST, not EverCAMP.

Camped Maleko for multiple toons. The easiest method seems to be the bridge method that DHeitzman mentioned. Have seen him spawn underwater but the terrible pathing in the water and having to deal with fighting underwater makes just clearing the bridge much more desirable.

Was camping gobbies for about 1.5 hours with a few guildies and this guy spawned south of ramp enterence...a bit away from the trees and boulders. He dropped the belt and the totem.

Folks don't be fooled for a second. SOE has, "tweaked" named mobs and their chances of popping. Ultimately, your only choice is to keep pulling until he pops, whether it is 30 minutes or 2 weeks. I heard Lutz was tough to pop, and I got him 3 in a row, but have spent over 15 hours camping Maleko to no avail. It seems (and I stress seems) that once you see or hear about the new nameds popping they tend to pop in multiple succession, then have long dry spells, or if not in succession several singles in the same amount of time. So if 5 popped in a row and the interval is supposed to be 6-12 hours, you might not see him again for 60 hours, but then who in their right mind could hold the camp that long? Surely as soon as you log off he will pop. Several folks and myself have tried to figure out some better way to spawn this guy, and the simple fact is, it is random and has a random PH. We even formed a raid to make sure all the goblins were dead as not to miss any. For 6 hours we killed them all (including other locals) and nada. My wish to all of you is best of luck I hope he spawns soon, and maybe bring some cards to the camp to fight the boredom :)

37 hours and counting, no spawn. I hate this camp.

Ever hear of Quillmane?

finally got him, he spawned on the bridge

Definitely not an uber rare spawn. Got him to spawn twice in 2 hrs.

He does not have just a single spawn point, despite what some of the walkthroughs say.

We have killed him about 4 times so far, and all five times he has spawned at the base of the bridge or on the bridge.

I think there's a very slim chance of him spawning in any of the static spawn locations. We just kept those locations clear, in addition to the ones on the far side of the bridge, and he eventually spawned. We have never seem him spawn on the far side of the bridge, though, but that could well be just because we've had so few spawns in total.

There seems to be a trick or method to spawning him, I got three of him to pop in 3 hours. Clear out all the little single-mob huts underwater and the three guards at the entrance to the bridge on the beach. Keep those spawns cleared. I think if there's no mob up in those places at a certain time of day, the named spawns there.
