Talk:Orctrap

Usually when I camp this NM, I see the familiar Widescan list of:

... Sabertooth Tiger Birdtrap          <--- Placeholder Diving Beetle Birdtrap          <--- this is the last Birdtrap in the entire Widescan list; no more after ...other stuff, including Pugils, the NPCs, possibly Water or Thunder elementals if applicable

However, some nights my Widescan list comes up completely different, and on those occasions I just give up because I can't pinpoint the placeholder. Does anyone know how or why this happens? I know the reason isn't simply that other players are killing off other mobs, because this has happened before when I was the only person in the area. I waited about 20 minutes to make sure to let everything respawn... but the list was still unusual.

Note: Every time I've seen the Orctrap, it has spawned on the western side of the general area, i.e., towards the middle of I-10. I've never seen it spawn around the eastern side, i.e., J-10 around where the NPCs are. However, I've been told that it can spawn there too.
