    Has anyone ever seen Brother Z wearing a robe? On other servers if Brother Z has a robe of the lost circle to drop then he can be seen wearing it.

    I have seen him up a few times and he has never been wearing a robe. I wanted to make sure that he can drop the robe of the lost circle and if he has it that he would be wearing it.

    Thank you very much!

    I have seen him about 5 times, but he was never wearing a robe.

    Robe drop rate is currently 18%. I went and bumped it up to 20%.

    I just #dbspawned him on Dev and he wasn't wearing the robe when he had it. I don't know why; it's flagged equip in the lootdrop.

    Anyway that we can get that fixed so that he shows the robe if he has it?

    Thanks :) :)

    I took him down to 60% boxing 3 mages the other day. I think with 6+ he would be easy.

    Bro Z and Q were always a bit buggy in this area. There used to be strange issues where sometimes he'd not show robe but would have in his inventory when killed and vice-versa. It was always unpredictable. I had heard theories that if you were in the zone when he spawned then you'd see him with robe equipped if he had it; if you zoned in after he was already up and he had robe, you would not be able to see it equipped. I'd have to assume these theories came about when someone would say they could plainly see it and others viewing him at the same moment said they could not see it.

    In any case, this was always quite odd on AK also... so we seem to have duplicated it well here on TAKP :)

    I have yet to see him with robe here on TAKP, but haven't seen either of them that much. Bro Z is the easier of the two to spawn, so if you are killing those PH's and he spawns with robe while your in the zone, maybe you'd be able to see it on him... not certain though. It was all conjecture.

    this is 100% correct, on live at least. I remember spawning him and he was wearing a robe, then I went linkdead before hand-in and when I came back it was no longer showing. I don't think this is a big deal either way though, there's a quest for the robe if all else fails!

    I remember hearing on live he could drop the robe even without wearing it.

    At risk of sounding like a broken record, might I inquire on Brother Zephyl's spawn percentage? I have been camping Rathe Mountains for a collective 25+ hours now since Saturday afternoon, and have yet to see anything other than a drake, Meldrath, and Hasten.

    I swear I'm the unluckiest Monk alt on the server =/.

    5%. Whether or not it should be 5%, I couldn't say.

    Sorry to bump such an old post, but is the respawn for the cycle correct. I have read it was 6 min 40 seconds and it seems to be a bit longer I think its closer to 10 mins.

    Corroborating Wellmine's note that the respawn was around 12-13 minutes, about double the norm.

    If it’s of interest I can pull some data from current live TLP servers on respawn and spawn chance.

    Sony changed the respawn timers for most of the game years ago by something like -20% what they used to be, and in some cases more. (e.g. newbie yards)

    If people want to go collect data, I'm always interested
