Fixing ZulAman NPC Hex Sticks

[vandamark]

In ZulAman when you turn in the hex sticks to transform the frogs into npcs, the food vendor Gunter only spawns around 50% of the time after you turn in all hex sticks. I see that the npcs have duplicates of several, for instance there were 3 Metzis and 3 Fudgericks in one run. It seems those duplicates are taking the place of the food vendor Gunter as there are only around 12-20 frogs. After you use hex sticks on all of them, you can't spawn more, therefore no Gunter.

There should be 1 of each npc.

The Regents vendor always spawns, that's different than the food vendor. Plus it happens half the time so you will need to test more than once.

You may want to check all the frogs because when you do them all, make sure they are all different npcs, there should be no duplicates.

food vendor Gunter is here on my video timestamp 0:22 https://i.gyazo.com/0f7db1fa5d3b9e21d778542195a2c57f.mp4

Ok I see that it worked for you, hoping it does the same for me tomorrow or I will create another ticket. Thank you for helping!

It's strange you didn't get any duplicates when I have like 4 of the same npc in my runs.

Do you have a link where it shows that they should not have any duplicate?

[vandamark]

There are only 12 frogs so that checks out

Once the hex is removed from the NPCs they move to the front room of the instance. Many of them wander a little bit. The children hurtle around the chamber as children usually do.

i did get duplicates i just didnt video them. anyway its only a "could" not a "will" spawn

i got Kyren and Gunter in my test

[vandamark]

Ok understood. I didn't know he doesn't always spawn. It's strange because that means that there would guaranteed be duplicates.

Why would they allow for duplicates of the same npc when that clearly looks like a bug to see 4 Fudgericks on the same screen.

[Echinaceax]

yes i know, unlucky to get 4 Fudgericks , i got 3 Darwins and 2 Hollee https://i.gyazo.com/426d4c6fd91309d2a701b33d943391b8.mp4

There are only 12 frogs so that checks out there is actually 19 frogs spawned

Timestamp 0:48 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRNoPbKWyz4 is same as we have. only thing i notice is that Mania NPC dont have any gossip text

ofc things changed in Cata so im guessing the npc placements changed too

notes (spawned for me) using 30 Hex Sticks (3 tests) Adarrah, Brennan, Christian, Deez, Darwen, Fudgerick, Galathryn, Gunter (food vender), Hollee, Kyren (reagent vendor) Mannuth, Mitzi
