Guide to World 2 Refresh Times

[NukeMarine]

OK, World 2, as it's generally full or near full has the fastest refresh times for the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post whatever creature, ore, tree, etc. that you train on often and how long it takes to refresh on World 2 or another crowded (1900+ players). Do not post info from a fan site, post from your own experience.

I don't understand; things respawn faster in busier worlds?

[yang_x_ying]

I don't understand either. Ive always thought the respawn times where the same. Explain please

[cyco]

Its rumored that things spawn faster in the "Main Worlds"

[No_Limit]

For every 100 extra players , respawn times lower by 1 sec or so 8)

[Leesters]

Yes, the respawn formula includes members playing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F2P and P2P respawn formulas are different, as there are member worlds with under 500 players, and they didn't want to penalize people turning members with worse respawn rates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now with so many players, I don't know if they've adjusted again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But a full world will respawn almost twice as fast as an empty one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This includes store restocking rates, as well.

[chessmastuh]

Really? I thought it stayed the same no matter what. If anything I'd think the spawn time would be slower on crowded worlds, due to the fact that the server is working harder to support all the players. But then again, even I don't know what I just said, so it can't be right.

[Purefighta23]

the more people, the faster spawn. its set to spawn faster because theres supposed to be more trainers if u had the same spawn. it would be slow and you + the others u train with wouldnt get the xp as fast

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it respawns faster. always has since rsc

[McGuff1]

So busier is better?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who woulda thunka that.

[Creaphis]

I've known this for a long time, I always go to crowded worlds to gather herblore ingredients, for example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But strangely enough, I've met someone with 99 herblore, who didn't know this. How can you reach 99 herblore, if you don't even know where to get the best spawns? Even if she bought the level, she must have done some gathering herself.

if i had the $ to buy 99 herb, id have the $ to buy the ingredients

[m0dus]

It respawns faster on full worlds because there are more people who are (theoretically) trying to do the same thing, so there needs to be a bigger supply of them.

[dwarfie76]

Not neccessarily. Busier had faster respawn times... but more people competing for the same resource. For things with naturally low resource times then less populated would be better (iron)... but for stuff that takes a while, finding somewhere private on a very busy world would be useful.

[uk_swat]

i remeber being in my home world and wanting to get the blue drag everytime in taverly and recored it respawning everyn 18 seconds or so,that way i could get the drag..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But in world 2 it was disrupeted and was coming ALOT faster.

Yeah, but most people look at it as "Selling Worlds" (1 and 2)

[bob12]

are store respawning times affected? ie rune stores?

[eloi44]

in rsc jagex said in more populous worlds the things spawned faster, dont know if it applies to rs2

[Dilman]

It does Eloi, that's what this guide is about. :roll:

[NukeMarine]

Well, it's not much of a guide as I only included items that meant something to me. If there are monster or item spawns that you think should be listed, list the item/monster, location of it, and the refresh time on World 2 or another crowded world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, the benefit is that on crowded world many are there to play CW, Pk, Duel or Trade. Few are gathering resources. In fact, I remember having the Shilo Gem rocks all to myself on World 2 one time. It was almost constant mining and crafting of gems, that was. Mayhaps I'll post those gem rock respawns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So again, post what you'd like to be included in this short but sweet guide.

I often look for a moderate to crowded world to mine gems. Everyone else is always worldhopping the deserted ones.

[NukeMarine]

Yes, shilo gems, great place to get a leg up on trading sticks. May be a busy place when carpentry comes out.

[xXru1n3dXx]

I heard ALONG time ago the lower the world the faster respawn :\

[NukeMarine]

The more you know....

[indalecio]

I thought everybody knew this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try killing something with a long respawn time on a world with only 500 people or so. I noticed this with Hellhounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then go to world 2 and try killing the same thing. You will notice a huge difference.
