my theory about giant spawn rate

the theory is as follows:

if you take a mob, example mob A. Mob A has 3 stages, normal, champion and giant. to get a champ you must kill a certian amout of normals, and to get giant you must kill a certian amout of champs.

then the question is "how can two giants spawn at the same time?"

Simple, lets say that you need too kill 100normals to get one champ and 30 champs to get one giant. Then someone kills 2999 norms and at that time 29 champs would spawn and someone took them down. Then when one champ more is killed a giant will appear.

Then someone kill a norm and the last champ appears. when someone kills that exact champ a giant will appear, but no one does, instead they kill 3000 norms and 29 champs, then there is two champs left. so there are two guys that kills the champs at the same time.
And there you have it, two giants at the same time.

Of course it may not be like this but it's just a theory of mine.
Will be glad for comments :D :D

I think the spawn rate is directly related to the number and level of those grinding in that specific area. I have noticed (mabye it is just a coincidence) that everytime a high level 72+ passes by and/or spends a little time in an area with lower level mobs (Penon for example) the spawn rate increases.

Hmmm, i get how 2 giants happen at the same time, but earlier today in the stronghold i got 5+ giants in 3 minutes.....
I honostly just think its random but who knows.

I don't think your'e theory is correct, but I don't think Giant and Champion spawns are random either.

There are certain spots in the grinding area where Giants spawn more often the others. I may stand for 30 minutes in point A with no giant spawning anywhere near me, but when I move to point B suddenly a giant pops out every 2 minutes or so.

I was fighting a giant Niya Gaurd or Bone Soldier wtfever it's called, last night and before I was finally done, I had killed 6 giants in a row, fighting up to 4 of them at one time.

That's a good point, but it's possible that during the time you were trying to log in after inspection, 182 botters logged in (they're already in the grinding area you wanted to go to), killed 3 mobs each, and then you logged on to find giants in your grind area. Just a minor possibility.

I don't think the theory in this poll quite works, but I don't think it's entirely random. As others have mentioned, I've noticed specific areas that spawn more giants than others. Whenever I go to the north-east corner of hotan where the bunwangs spawn, there's one spot that spawns a lot of giants (sometimes I get 4 on me at a time), and another spot 50 yards away that NEVER spawns a giant.

I think its probably just a clock that is based on prime numbers with a few separate variables thrown in to make it difficult to determine.

if what you're saying is that giants are triggered by x amounts of mobs you killed you're wrong.
i've walked into an empty nachel room with 3 giants already spawned, its randommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
