Rare Spawn Timers

krees28b14_ESO

Some dungeons, such as Lost City or Sanguine's Demense, there are a couple named mobs needed for the achievement. Does anyone know the spawn timers for some of these rare mobs or can link a website telling me. Drel, in Sanguine's Demense seems to have a really long spawn timer and I would like to know what it is. This is mostly for veteran content but even regular lvl 1-50 would suffice.

funny i was just thinking about asking this. your talking public dungeons. whenI started in early access crows woods was broken, and unenterable, so i just skipped it. well i decided to go back and run through it quickly as a vr6, got to one boss location just as he died and i ended up sitting there for nearly half an hour before i gave up on him spawning.

Yeah, I waited for Drel in Sanguine's Demense for almost 2 hours without a spawn but I did see a video where a guy did kill him while running through with a group. I would like to know if these guys are broken or what their spawn times are because this is insane.

Most have 10-15minute timers. Some have 1 hour spawn times - usually only 1 per dungeon tho, most are fast.

The others seem to use the really oldschool EQ mechanic:
Random chance on spawn upon killing related trigger mob..

So your only chance to spawn them is running around killing everything in the dungeon, then checking back.

Sucks but yea, you can wait 10 hours and if no one else is around killing stuff, they will never spawn.

this is especially true in Cyrodil. Go in a dead campaign with no one, and even then, with no one entering a pd for hours, you may only find 1 of the 3 bosses required. Some even share the same spawn points, which randomly spawns 1 of 2 or 3.

Foul Wing in Bloodmayne Cave in Cyrodiil is one of those bosses with an absurd respawn timer. I entered the cave last night - which is filled with trolls - and I cleared the troll boss twice but Foul Wing never spawned. I must have spent 30 minutes looking for him (with no one else ever entering the cave) before I looked up where he spawns. I then waited almost two hours near his spawn point and he still never spawned. It did not matter if I killed the surrounding mobs or not. I gave up and I re-entered the cave this morning before the servers were taken offline. Still no Foul Wing.

I would not be surprised if the timer problem is fixed with this update; but I dread returning to this cave as all the trolls will now be elite VR5 mobs and they were already pretty tough as elite level 50 mobs.

May wanna read my post.

Foul Wing is one of the on-kill random spawns. He doesn't have a long respawn timer at all. You just got unlucky on the kils or never killed enough,

For me to clear another dungeon, with 3 random bosses. Me and a friend had to kill all the enemies in the dungeon roughly 20 times. (And it had around 40 mobs, so 800+ kills)

So yea highly you doubt you killed 800 fairly tough trolls solo.

Recommend you take a group next time, should get him spawned much faster.

and yea they will be vr5 now, but thats the reason I actually purposely waited. I like a challenge (and very slightly better loot to vendor). Given we will be VR12 by the time we are bored enough of craglorn, and probably have nicer loot.. Well shouldn't be too tough with a 3-4 man group id wager.

Bloodmayne Cave has spriggans and spiders; I’m in there right now and having trouble getting the achievement. I killed the elite spider and elite spriggan, but it won’t say dungeon is completed.

Not just foul wing, ACANTHIA, CHOSEN OF NIRN also is like this. I kinda like it I wish more bosses where on "random" spawn timers, this game is way to static as is, they should take a note from the EQN team about the way they are having totally random and patrolling mob squads.

How I finally got Acanthia though is clearing the whole room and up the hallway then just camping, she spawned about 10 min later, not sure if that is consistent though.

I think you guys mean Rock Wing and yeah, that one was ridiculous. I finally got him today after weeks of trying. I killed all the bats in there after killing the troll boss and he just randomly appeared.

Now I have on boss left for my title, 'Ironlash' in Bloodmayne Cave. I am not sure this NPC exists, although I have seen one person with the Exlporer title. I worked from home today, so I just put myself in that dungeon and kept the game running on my other monitor, so I've been in this dungeon for about 6 hours give or take (just checking every once in a while to avoid getting dc'ed). Only two other players have come in and they didn't kill him either. I've cleared this dungeon more times than I count as well. Oh and in those 6 hours, Acanthia spriggan boss has yet to spawn either.

Worstluck

Well after 6.5 hours, Acanthia decided to spawn. And then...FINALLY, Ironlash spawned. They seem to be on a 4-6 hour (maybe longer) spawn timer.
