Mob respawns

[Ponden]

Ive been farming specific items for tradeskills. There are zones say... Rhino's in WW. If I kill all the rhinos then they respawn as other mobs. This makes it very hard to collect enough rhino meat unless I wipe out other creatures in the zones. (Killing wolfs to spawn rhinos.)

Other notable spots this occurs: Lavaites/lavalings in Red Sun Peaks, Lions/Griffons in the badlands/etc. It would be very helpfull if these tradeskill ingredient mobs spawned themselves and not other mobs. I end up making all the rhino's extinct and normally do not want to spend the time killing non-Rhino's just to spawn more.

It was the same way in EQlive, just there were more people playing so other mobs were usually killed by other people.

There needs to be a tradeskilller guild or somthing on this server so people can "raid" zones for tradeskill ingrediants - i think its a possible idea, don't knwo if it would have the playerbase for a guild but a group or org would work nicely i think...

Deal with it and kill the other mobs.

Kay, I would like to re-word this as: Could the drop rate on Lava Dust be increased? I spent 2 hours killing the zone, and out of roughly 10 lava-mobs I received no dust. I heard from Treanna that it took 3 hours to get 3 lavadusts. You (Wiz) said that this was not intended as a bottleneck but that is still what it is. All of the other ingredients (including the pearls) are signifigantly easier to obtain (In rarity, not in cost). I have only been able to make 2 pieces of the jewlrey and it isnt from lack of resources but from the time required to get this ingredient.
