Guild Wars 2

Can someone please tell me how to get this event to spawn? Someone said it only spawns at night, a bunch of us waited and waited and nothing. Is it contingent on some other event?

According to Dulfy, the Bandit Spirits only spawn during specific events in the area.

Try triggering different events around there?

I was on the map for 2 hours today doing every event including at night, absolutely nothing. All of us in map chat were going nuts trying to figure it out. For at least a dozen of us, it’s the last thing we need.

No idea. You can try posting either in the Bugs sub-forum, or the Players Helping Players sub-forum.

Good luck.

The first day we hung around in the area for several day/night cycles and it never spawned. The day after I finally saw it spawning and we were able to get the cord of stolen wood.

Anet, can you please just tell us when or how to spawn this event?! If any of you logged in to this map you’d see a bunch of people just standing around in the lumber yard waiting for the event to spawn and it never does. It’s ridiculous.

Ok, finally figured it out. It appears the event is bugged on certain instances of the map. I hopped map to map asking in map chat if anyone has seen the event come up. Finally I found someone who said I just missed it. Waited there for about 20 min and it finally came up.

If you’re having trouble getting this even to spawn, you need to continuously change instances of the map until you find a map that isn’t messed up.

I’m not sure if it’s buggy, or if it is tied to the local house being defended successfully, or some other event chain in the region. It certainly spawned quite frequently while I was sitting on a successfully held house waiting for a defend event…
