[VALIDATION NEEDED] More detailed info on champ artifacts for possible tweak

Wasn't sure whether to add this to the old Champ Arty thread in the "Completed" section or not...

Champ Spawn Pub 58 Fixes and Q&A - posted by Regine EAMythic on 02-12-2009

2. How do I receive a Replica?

Only players who worked a sufficient portion of the current spawn have a chance of receiving the Replica. You earn points for working the spawn. When the champ dies, a list of all the players having met the minimum point requirement is pulled. A roll is performed to determine whether or not a reward will be given. If yes, the player with the highest spawn points has a 10% chance of automatically receiving that reward. If the top player loses the roll, he’s put back in the list and a random player in that list is given the reward. You MUST be in the area when the champ dies to receive that reward.

The bug which allowed players who didn’t work the current spawn to receive the replica has been fixed and will be in Pub 58.


4. How are the leveling points obtained?

The spawn is divided into 4 levels, each giving a different amount of points for creatures killed. Level 1 and 4 give the least points as level 1 is extremely easy and level 4 is usually extremely short and would unfairly benefit late comers. Each time a creature is killed, every player who did sufficient damage to earn looting rights is given points according to the level of that creature. It is not based on kill shot. Once the champ is killed and the reward has been handed out, the points list is wiped clean.

Regine EAMythic's reply:

And that is a bug which has been fixed and will be in Pub 58 along with other fixes for the champ spawns. As stated in another thread, I will make a detailed post on what the changes are and how the reward distribution works in the next FoF.

Also, this link suggests we may not have the drops from each Spawn exactly right. Still looking for more official info.
