@Site_Users,

It is no longer possible to exit a zone, re-enter and force all Named/Placeholders to instantly respawn.

When you exit a zone, it is now tracked. The soonest a Named/Placeholder can respawn is its Respawn Timer plus the time you exited the zone.

So, for example, if a named has a 15 minute respawn timer and you exit the zone at 6:00, it will not respawn until 6:15.

If you enter the zone at 6:05, it will respawn at 6:15.
If you enter the zone at 6:10, it will respawn at 6:15.
If you enter the zone at 6:20, it will already have respawned.

This was done to prevent a possible abuse of the Exit Zone feature and farming Named.

Here's a simple and... legal way to do things quick, notice how much easier it is to kill things with lower level pets, I'm sure everyone has a few. They don't even need armor, since you get it off battling, u can even stop their exp from increasing using those potions. It goes by quick, so quick I was surprised that I had defeated most of the un-named and named characters b4 they had spawned. Just thought I'd share some useful info.

@Krinadon,

When you exit and re-enter the zone, the first guy in the field is still re-setting. So if you fought him at 6 pm and exited the zone then re-entered at 6:20.... it still takes 15 minutes for him to re-spawn.

@Darkwingedangel,

The respawn-on-exit begins when you exit. It isn't dependent on when you last defeated the named.

ohhh I geddit thanks lol

@Krinadon,



Can the first post be edited to match with this? The respawn timers aren't matching with the first post at all, and a few of us were confused.

@Rose,

How so?

@Krinadon,
I haven't battled one of the Named in days. When I exited and re-entered for the sylesti nest update, it disappeared. It respawned 15 minutes after I entered the zone. According to the first post, it should have been there when I first entered the zone, but it wasn't.

@Rose,



It says when you exit - not when you last defeated the named or looted the node.

@Krinadon,
"So, for example, if a named has a 15 minute respawn timer and you exit the zone at 6:00, it will not respawn until 6:15."
For this part, it sounds like the named was defeated right before exiting the zone.

It sounds like (changed the minutes to show it):
If a named has 10 minutes left on the respawn timer (5 minutes has already passed since you last battled the named) at 6:00 and...
- you exit and reenter at 6:00,
- you exit and reenter at 6:05,
- you exit and reenter at 6:09,
...then the named will respawn at 6:10

That's what made it so confusing to us. Thanks for clarifying.
