2. Enemies Giant Slug and Skulking Wolf unintentionally respawn for the full 30 minutes of the guidleve leading to massive Skill Point gain.

I was told these were fixed in 1.16, however less commonly they can still be found to respawn for the full 30 minutes of the leve leading to unintended SP gains. The previous GM response was to make a new thread if the problem persisted, which it is.

I do not know how you are doing it, but I have had several opprotunities to glitch it the old way and it did not work. At most I would get one extra spawn.

Agreed, I would like to know how you did it as I never got to do it before they fixed it :)

I talked to some people and they say it will randomly last 1 to 4 or 5 extra pops now after the 5th page has dropped... I figured it hasn't changed because my linkshell doesn't want to cheat and leaves instead of killing extra mobs that aren't supposed to spawn. So maybe instead of spawning the whole time, they just have a few extra waves... but i'm pretty sure it still isn't meant to be in the game.

If it's ok to kill these extra mobs after the 5th page (and final mobs) spawn, I would like to know officially so I can kill them with my group and not worry about getting banned for taking advantage of an exploit or something.
