Newt golems spawn bug

Are you sure they actually not spawn at all? Basically, the "evolving animation" sometimes ends slower than the mob already changed, so the evolved mob is already walking away. Its just, totally gone and a new mob respawns?

 

This is not a bug but rather by design from Neckson. There are actually two types of Jr. Newties. One gives EXP upon death and does not spawn into a Nest Golem (this is usually the one that ranged classes snipe at in Destroyed Dragon Nest. The other type of Jr. Newtie does not give EXP upon death but spawns into a Nest Golem. In that map, the distribution is about 40% Nest Golem Newties and 60% EXP Newties

 

I thought they meant this too, but quote says otherwise

The evolve animation implies they did hit an evolving one since the normal ones have no such animation.

 

So what happened is the Nest Golem is summoned prior to the death animation of the Jr. Newtie finishing.

 

This is very possible.

@OP: If it happens again, can you look at your EXP if you just killed it before the death animation finished? If you gained exp, than what Navi said is correct, and this isn't a bug.

Thanks!
