Now as for the Snake King. I've been doing this quest a lot lately and each time I'd get there the snake king would be there or it wouldn't. I've read a lot of post and people have different time for respawn. Some say 30 mins and others say 45 mins.
Well I went one day and killed king, then I'd return in 30 mins and the was no king. Time and time again I was missing the king, first I figured someone got there before me until I actually killed the king and sat there for 30 mins and no one came and the king didn't respawn, it actually took 45 mins to respawn.
So this is what I did. I set myself up to spend the day waiting and watching the king spawn (I know, no life... oh well). And this little experiment turned up some interesting results.
First I am on Gryphon server, but I'm not telling my alts, so the there may be a difference in other servers, I don't know. All times are the server times (the times at the top of the game).
I got to the spawn at 02:13 and killed the king. Right after it spawned again and I killed it again. The time was 02:15 then.
As I sat there waiting for the king to spawn I set up my little intensify auto-clicker and lvled intensify. I waited till 02:45, 30 mins later but the king didn't respawn. It finally spawned at 03:00. I killed him again and sat lvling my intensify and all of the sudden at 02:11 the king spawned again. Only 10 mins afterward.
So here's my list:
02:13 - arrived and killed 2 kings back to back only 2 mets.
03:00 - spawned and killed 1 met
03:11 - spawned and killed 1 met
03:42 - spawned and killed 1 met
04:02 - spawned and killed 1 met
04:48 - spawned and killed 1 met
05:10 - spawned and killed 1 met
05:52 - spawned and killed 1 met
06:36 - spawned and killed 6 mets (teleported to BI to deposit mets at market)
07:07 - spawned and killed 1 met
08:05 - spawned and killed 1 DB (almost an hour)
08:46 - spawned and killed 1 met
09:17 - spawned and killed 1 met
10:01 - spawned and killed 1 met
10:32 - spawned and killed 1 met
10:43 - spawned and killed 1 met (yea, roughly 10 mins)
11:14 - spawned and killed 6 mets (teleported to BI to deposit mets/DB at market)
11:35 - spawned and killed 1 met
11:51 - spawned and killed 6 mets
12:36 - spawned and killed 1 met
13:07 - spawned and killed 1 met
13:28 - spawned and killed 1 met
13:59 - spawned and killed 1 met
15:00 - spawned and killed 1 met
15:32 - spawned and killed 1 DB (I left after this, tired)
As you look at the times they are not every 30 mins, in fact the range from 10 mins to 1 hour. I'm posting this in hopes maybe someone else will give this a try and see if it's the same on other servers.
It was fun though, almost everyone I saw go through was an archer. There was one warrior but the water snakes killed him... to bad, and one tro. The tro, a RB lvl 124 sat and we B.S.ed a bit but he was still taking 5 damage from the water snakes so he rolled out.
At least I was able to finally fix intensify lol...
I hope everyone finds this helpful and useful in some way.
Good post
