You guys say going up the hill between the bridge and ruins, but there are hills on both sides as well as ruins on both sides, do you guys mean the really really steep hill that leads to the ruins with the elite orcs or the path that goes in the general direction of weathertop?
I can confirm that the wanderer is his place holder. Also that it seems to be a variable spawn rate. Also that it donst spawn in the middle of the bridge but that it spawns on the wheathertop side and walks onto the bridge.
Agreed. He spawns right on the bridge then wanders up the hill toward the ruins.
If you find a wandering wolf anywhere between the bridge & the ruins -- kill it! This mob seems to have a placeholder which spawns in the same spot & wanders up the same route. I estimate the re-spawn time at about 5 minutes for PH, however after killing Sawtooth no PH spawned for a while.. so I think the timer may be longer after you kill the named than if you kill the PH.
This guy spawns on weatherway bridge. he can be a long wait. He is a level 18 "signature" ( not elite) mob with just under 1000 morale. I soloed him with my level 16 hunter.
