[quote][i]Quote from: Melphina[/i] Yes this is my understanding as well. It works something like this. Before a mob spawns theere is a "pool" of possible mobs that will be chosen to spawn. By this i mean if you kill a lizard there may be 5 different potential lizards available in the "pool" to spawn after the timer is up, and they may vary in lvls. Now let's say a NM (this case jack) dies at 2:35 Reality time in your time zone. Since he is a 1 hour minimum respawn he cannot and will not be entered into the "pool" for another RL hour. No matter how many times you kill a bunny he will not spawn because he is not available to be chosen. Now after 1 RL hour is up a new "jack" gets put in the mob pool probably with at least 10-15 other rabbits (maybe more). When you kill a bunny one of these rabbits is chosen from the pool and it spawns. If the random bunny picked is Jack.... then he pops and everyone races to eagle eye shot him....... or w/e. If it is *not* jack then he remainms in the pool while another random bunny is added to the pool to replace the one that just spawned. This cycle repeats ad-infinum and eventually he will spawn but its random as to exactly when. ALSO please note: It is my understanding that Jack is in the same pool that the bats that only spawn at nighttime are in. So when its nighttime in game you not only have the bunnys in the pool with jack but also a buncha bats that can potentially spawn instead of him. This accounts for why people say he spawns only during the day. This is not the case, but with more potential spawns he is much less likely to spawn at night. Hope that helped.[/quote]
