After camping this jerk across many characters over many years since my first ranger back in 2000... something... I finally killed him today. I got my eyepatch. I am happy. This comment may be useless, but gosh darn it i earned it. Total Time I sat at his spawn point was 28H 24 Minutes.
I killed Stormfeather 4 times in a row to get enough parts of a map for my characters. Respawn times were 23 hours 41 min 24 hours 27 min 24 hours 49 min
loc 5880, 785, 183 northeast part of pirate island.
I'm sorry. I have to say it....after six years...I finally killed Stormfeather. I don't think I've had such a liberating experience in EQ until now...... <3
Stormfeather DOES despawn if you leave him up long enough. I saw him on track with my ranger (all the way up on the furthest isle from EW bridge). Got halfway to him and there was no stormfeather on track. I was the only person in zone.
Killed Stormfeather this morning, 330am est. Didnt make it in time with my sk on the same account to loot. better luck next time i guess. stupid spawn time. its not even that incredible an item
Log in this morning its up, kill with main, get alt on and someone walks in and has to keep talking, 7 min corpse poofs.
Don't know why they put this mob at such a high respawn. Lodi drops 2 map pieces, and is up 3x as much. Then the corpse lasts the 30 mins or whatever so peeps can get there. End result? Destroying 7 map pieces off lodi, and seeing 1 from storm.

If you can box. Make a lvl 1 wood elf ranger. Cougars won't attack him since hes wood elf. Have him sit on hill. Go exp/farm with ur main char. Something productive. If u hear him, rush to camping mule and kill him.
It takes patience, but the camp is inevitable if you wait long enough. Longest was 176 hours 4 me. But I did get him. And its well worth it. (EoP at level 16 FTW)
Set up camp a few feet up from his spawn point. Had a pet kill anything that wandered by. Turn up your speakers really really really loud, and go to sleep. He is the only mob in the zone that makes the eagle squawk, so when he spawns and starts moving uphill toward the gnome tree, you wake up to him beating on you.

I like this idea and what i was thinking, me being a wood elf ranger, Id just sit at the spawn point and turn the enviroment sounds off and combat sounds on and crank up the speakers so when he spawns he beats on me and i get a musical awakening. Am doing this now, only hope he attacks me on the spot. Will update later to tell you if it worked.
Edit 1: Forgot, make sure to turn the music volume all the way up in the general options menu and the sound volume all the way down so you dont get the cougars walking by you sound.
Edit 2: Well, forgot im a really heavy sleeper and i slept right through the music even though my bed is 5 feet from my computer. But i woke up about 1 hour after he spawned give or take a little and found myself in kelethin. Bought some food/water and ran there and got my corpse, luckily this was at 4AM so nobody normal was on and he was still flying around. Killed him and got my piece.
Finally! Stormfeather dropped at 9:20 A.M PDT Thursday, September 29th (Sunday, MAY 01, 3209 1PM Game Time). I zoned in at the druid portal, LD'd lastnight during the port, and ran to the spawn location in between the 3 gnomes and the 3 snow cougars and didn't see Stormy. Was about to leave as this was my 8th day of waiting on him, and boom, he comes flying up from the shore side by the gnomes towards the 3 snow cougars. Was a wimp compared to even my wimpy SK pet =)

Had my ranger camped at spawn point for about two weeks. I check spawn about every 3 hours. Haven't found any sign of the punk for this whole two weeks. one. Does he despawn. saw one post saying he did, wondering if anyone can confirm. Two. is there a possibility that he is on a cycle with midnight, a named cougar that spawns in almost the same location.
Not sure about despawning... usually just dies a lot I would think... especially now that you don't have to take the boat to his island...
No connection to Midnight... Midnight simply is on the same spawn table as all of the cougars roaming around... kill them and he will pop randomly about.
My exp has beed near dead on the 19 hr spawn... with skips...
You never ever have to bring a tracker, he will wander around the hill there north of where the 3 gnomes are under a tree. He will never go further from the hill...
I have heard tons of spawn times on Stormfeather so here is the real scoop. I have eyepatch on 12 toons btw and have just gotten stormfeather for the 4th straight spawn so i know =P He is a 30-36 hour spawn. Get there at 30 hours after he is killed and sit there for 6 hours. If he doesn't skip you will get him. I know he used to skip but he doesn't seem to anymore. Anyway that's the way you do it.
His timer is either 19 hours or 31 hours. I've seen him spawn at 19 before so you may very well have missed his spawn, someone killed him, and you logged on in time for his next 19 hour spawn and he either came or skipped it, which comes close to your 36 hour timer...

PS- The very best camp method is simply this, log your alt on the hill and forget about it. :p Just keep checking every day no more than a few minutes and eventually he'll be up with no one around when you least expect it. I've even caught him up when I've bound there and gotten killed in a raid.
I camped this featherhead for nearly 50 hrs and i turn around and see him pop... No sooner i hit attack he despawns (about 5 seconds after his spawn).... HELP!! lol... So Po'ed...
