So, what was the % spawn of reapers again ??

[Shiriru]

Is there any official data of what is the chance for a reaper to spawn ? Any events which increase that % ?
I ask because I did a lvl 3 quest - Dryden's Family Tomb at R1... and saw 15 reapers total in that quest... at the very last boss fight , 3 reapers spawned at the same time, 2 carnage and 1 famine for a grand total of 15... well these were extremely overwhelming for us and we finally crumbled, combined with the 15+ skeletons and boss wiped my entire group + hirelings..
I'm sorry but we were either just the most unlucky group ever, or there is something off about how reapers spawn. This is NOT balanced for a lvl 3 quest, where people already struggle vs reapers, since lack of easy ghostouch and bigger damage/defence/hp at these lvls

From what I can tell Reapers spawn according to two variables; first is the difficulty, while the second is the number of mobs.

The later of these two variables may explain why you saw so many reapers since unless I've forgotten that quest has an enormous amount of mobs and will therefore have more reapers.

[PsychoBlonde]

According to what they said when they first released it, every time mobs spawn, there's a chance (based on skulls) for a Reaper to also spawn.

So the number of reapers in a given quest is going to bear a strong relation to the overall number of mobs in that quest.

[Suggestion]

Just as it is possible to roll a bunch of 20's (or 1's) in a row with a good random number generator, it is possible to get a bunch of reapers to spawn (including far to many for you to handle). The thing is you are far more likely to remember the runs when a lot of reapers appear than the runs with few or no reapers (entirely possible on short quests like Haverdasher).

Reaper is random. Recall/reset is your best bet if you step in and see a bad 'roll' on reaper spawns.

[Chacka_DDO]

It is an intended random element that is basically the meaning of reapers on reaper difficulty, so a quest on reaper difficulty is even less always the same.
The champions are another random element in a quest, intended to spice it up and make it a bit more exciting.
You can like it or not but it should tell you that if you fail it is sometimes just bad luck and you could try to "reroll" (try again).
My worst series of 1 rolls I noticed so far was five times in a row a 1 against hold monster, against a beholder. It was in VoN 3 as I soloed it years ago, it was very noticeable because I was solo and I knew I failed my roll only on a 1 due to my high will save. I wish I would have set 1€ on a fair bet on this I would have won 3,200,000€
besides of this, it is also my feeling that reapers in low-level quests are way more powerful in relation to the player power than in high-level quests. Too powerful if you ask me, they should be less powerful at lower levels.
