Rama'nai  

You can find Rama'nai at 872.99, -59.14, 11.03, under a tree in the common lands just west of the Druid ring, I killed him at 10 am ish game time & whilst i was writing this he re-spawned so don't think u need the PH's

One thing I'd thought that I'd mention that no one mentioned, Rama'nai nor his PH will spawn until after midnight. If it's not up, wait until midnight and then it'll respawn at the spot mentioned. I'm not sure on specifics of how long he will stay up, but I think that I was able to kill him for the last time around 6am or so and then he stopped respawning until after midnight. The times that I was looking for him, I got the ph about 10 straight times before I finally got him to respawn which happened to be the first respawn after I killed the ph when he spawned after midnight.

The PH has Approx. respawn time of 5mins. The Location of the spawn is, 597,-60,-45. After a while he begins to wander around, once you kill him just run to this spot and 5mins later he should be up.

Rama spawn at pre-update spot in front of the Ring of Nature. PH Wandering Pride Lioness spawned there also on regular intervals around 6 minutes.

After LU24 patch, I haven't seen the big guy or the placeholders. Killed lions/carrion hounds/deer for hours. Is it definitely still near the druid ruins? :)

Killed the wandering pride lioness, then killed every single lion in the whole area, Rama'nai popped 2nd time. Easy kill at lvl 25

"I got it three times last night by killing the wandering pride and then before she spawned again wiping out every lion in the area. and by area i mean that whole impression, worked every time."

I just tried this tonight and this worked for me. Maybe I was just lucky but I killed the Wandering 2 times, and on the second decided to go around killing other lions for fun and maybe a little loot. Get back to the spawn point and there sits Rama'Nai for me. Oh, and to get credit for the quest you do have kill his whole group, not that they are exactly hard, but it is somehting to keep in mind.

This quest can be trouble-some. Just run around the very edge of the valley and you will keep finding the Wandering Pride Lioness. You will have to kill her a few times and she will NOT spawn in the same spot. Rama'nai will spawn around the cords listed for the on the HQ page. It will be annoying one way or another.

Just did exactly like the last poster. Killed only the PH, A Wandering Pride Lioness, about 4-5 times and then Rama'Nai spawned in exactly the same loc. +598, -59, -50

If you don't see the Wandering Pride Lioness when you first get there, run around til you find it and kill it. Then just run back to the spawn point, it will spawn there every time between 5 and 6 minutes.

So we know the PH is the pride lioness, who is the TR?

Since the time of EQ1, SOE has used a system to spawn most named mobs. EQ2, did *not* initially use the system. But SOE decided to change most mobs over to it a few months after game went live. All posts so far have been incorrect concerning it and Rama'nai's spawn.

The system is Placeholder (PH), Trigger (TR). In order to spawn the majority of 'random' named mobs, both the PH and TR must be killed. If you kill the PH, and the TR is still up, the named will not spawn. Note: The TR can be any mob in the zone, but is usually in relative close proximity. It takes quite a bit of patience to figure out the identity of both mobs. Most people just do mass kill offs.
