Out of all of these, the AC has a 10% chance of spawning in any spawn event. The AC or his PH will only spawn at night (9PM to 7AM in SRo) and has a 30.6 minute respawn timer. This classic placeholder cycle was [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090208200047/http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?&topic_id=143508 revealed by EQ Dev Prathun]] in 2008 and [[https://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2404804&postcount=57 confirmed by Nilbog in 11/18/2016.]]	+

−	Also present in SRo is a despawn/respawn mechanic which removes daytime spawns and replaces them with nighttime spawns at 9PM game time (similar to Kithicor forest). AC's PH cycle is one of these spawns. This means that the AC or his PH will spawn every EQ day at 9PM.	+

−	Given the above information, trackers and groups with trackers have a natural advantage to quickly locate and engage the AC. Druids also have the advantage to teleport into AC just before 9PM game time and get a chance to claim an AC. Other classes still have some chance to be in the right spot at 9PM to grab AC, but won't be able to locate or confirm if the AC spawned when there is heavy competition.	+
