Scarshield Quartermaster (BWL Attunement)

So, on retail the quartermaster has a respawn time of 2 hours. Due to the high population currently on the realm, will this time be reduced (if only for the first few days) to prevent bottle-necking and allow more guilds to progress on to BWL? If not currently planned, can we get this?

It's a good idea tbh. I don't see myself waiting for it to respawn every 2 hours with 500 people waiting for the same shit.

Do we even have a source for a 2hr respawn? Allakhazam comments are claiming around 2 minutes.

From 2008 but it possibly reinforces the comment above.

I know they changed the STV animal boss respawn timer from 30 minutes to 5 minutes in order to help with overpopulation and bottlenecking, so they should do the same for this guy.

Another server's database isn't a valid source.

You didnt have any other choice but waiting for the elite quest mobs to respawn in order to get what you want (quest or taming or cuddling up with it).

For BWL you have the choice and the attunement isn't mandatory. Imo it wouldn't be a bad thing to let this mob have its original respawn timer. Then it will become faster and faster eventually if it benefits from the dynamic thingy.

The dynamic respawn timer takes into account the duration of all the mobs, however there's only one of him. Would it even work properly for just one mob? While leveling, even if a named quest mob was being killed over and over, his respawn was the same.

First guild to get their ppl atuned and tagging over the 2000 others will be the first to clear BWL lol.

Exactly. Most of us have seen some if not all of this content before, so putting the realm first kills up to a mob tag is kinda dumb.
