Talk:Spinflint
Spin is one of my top ten favorite mobs. I can reliably farm Spinflint on Blue by, as mentioned, AoE clearing of muddite minors. At least over a dozen kills and I have never known it to spawn within any geometry and mostly find spin near the Runnyeye ZL or right beside Diggs Duggun. Occasionally spawns in the central chasm that bisects the main loop (I don't mean the Evil Eye temple area). In trying to learn its individual PH, I am very sure it is one or both of at least two specific minors (since the zone is often undisturbed, only killing these two minors will reliably spawn Spinflint). To prove this #1: Sit in the corner above the brazier at Runnyeye ZL and observe the lone muddite minor who seems to try and clip perpendicularly through the cliff geometry, looking buggy. The rest simply take sensible routes or partially clip the corner only. This one will eventually jump through the cliff. #2: I kill the minor in the strange obelisk corridor for good measure; only one elder/minor and one dedicated minor spawn in this area. in over 100 attempts to spawn Spin, I noticed that each success incorporated minors from the chasm immediately to the right on entering Beholder's Maze from Runnyeye ZL. Unfortunately I haven't seen Spinflint spawn twice within 30 minutes of one another so I can't confirm a short timer. The whirling agate is rare but it does drop--in over a dozen spawns, I received the Agate twice and the rest were other stat stones. Spinflint does not seem to care which Evil Eye lords are up at a given time.
