To clarify, if you go in with the majority closer to R30, you may not be able to kill the 3rd group which are up to R49; the group that will cover any downtime you might have while waiting for the first group to replace itself. Follow?Now I'm confused. Wouldn't going to the Raptors with a higher rank party make them run out even faster? If people are running out of Young Raptors in early 30's groups, then shouldn't they go there at a lower rank so they last longer?
Or better yet, go to a camp where the mob's respawn rate is short enough for you to not run out?
I was under the impression that if you've run out of mobs and have to sit around for repops then you've already lost the SP/hour battle.
I think ideally you wouldnt have to rotate camps. As it is now, one group can pretty much occupy the entire Iron Lake region. That doesnt seem sustainable if/when this game picks up in popularity.
Hence why spawn rates should be adjusted (increased!)
Best camps at high level are the new beast men camps.. No need to run killing stuff. Respawn rate is fast with a light party. 40-50 depending on camp. About 17 ish mobs per camp.


So myself and a few friends tried the 15-20 camp spot, and we didnt see a whole lot of Yarzons... in fact we only saw one lol. In the end we decided to try Cassiopeia out and we SP'd on the cassiopeias r25-29 that spawn near the beginning bit (the spawn area of the Battlewarden). There were 5 of us and when we began, the range was 13-16 (I was r15) and I personally was getting 333sp per Cassiopeia, and there wasnt much downtime so I think that should be added as a camp, provided there arent more than 2 parties there at a time.
EDIT: I think its feasible to SP on them till rank 20. Im now r17 and still getting 300sp per mob.

That's odd. There used to be loads of them around Daddy Longlegs camp. I guess I'll have to go look again.So myself and a few friends tried the 15-20 camp spot, and we didnt see a whole lot of Yarzons... in fact we only saw one lol.

EDIT: There are at least more than 1 at this camp as they are a lottery spawn from Hoverfly Swarms which also lottery Footpad Soldiers. Roughly the same range in rank; Still fairly fast respawns.

Ahhh, I didn't know that, thanks for clarifying!
I haven't been to Cassiopeia in a while, and certainly not since patch. I know there is a room on the lower far east side with about 10 Buccaneers inside, but the respawns are really slow. You'd have to go back out and stomp around the puks and jellyfish in order to keep SP flowing.
