<p>For the starter, <p><strong>TL;DR: blockable creatures will&nbsp;only respawn if you are standing at least 2&nbsp;squares off screen or at another level.</strong></p><p>For&nbsp;starter, Dawnport trolls and mainland trolls are a different creatures:<br>Dawnport:&nbsp;https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/Mountain_Troll – regular unblockable spawn<br>Main:&nbsp;https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/Troll – regular blockable spawn<br><br>In the days of old, all regular spawns were blockable. The idea was&nbsp;that a player shouldn't notice the spawning. In a broader context, it is to&nbsp;create&nbsp;an illusion of always-living world. That's an optimization you might be familiar with in other games. For instance, in games like GTA, you may notice that the world only changes behind your back! (Sometimes worryingly&nbsp;often if your PC has low spec.) Similarly, in Tibia there is no need to simulate creatures movement if nobody can notice the difference. These rules are not perfect, and sometimes you can notice still creatures: e.g. in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tibiamaps.io/map#32362,32154,9:2">Thais Ancient Temple</a>. That is because only presence of players on adjacent floors are considered.</p><p>Back to the spawning: you might have missed this article on TibiaWiki:&nbsp;https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn#Creature_Spawn</p><blockquote><p>In Tibia almost all monsters respawn at a certain rate or randomly on the game world in specific places. However, some monsters may only spawn as an event triggered by a player doing a quest.</p><p><strong>Please note that creatures will only respawn if you are standing at least 7 squares away from them, or 2 squares off screen.</strong></p><p>The rate at which creatures spawn is determined also by the amount of online players. The spawning rate is faster if there are many players and slower if there are few players. Since February 15, 2013, the respawn rate was changed and the minimum rate is the same as if there were 500 players online. The maximum respawn rate is achieved when there are 800 or more players online. On September 06, 2018, CipSoft announced that it would double the spawn rate of all creatures (with the exception of Bosses and Minibosses), and this changes were implemented the following week. Furthermore, they also added the Improved Respawn Rate system.</p></blockquote>system.</p></blockquote><p>Historical note: in old Tibia versions, you&nbsp;also blocked the spawn vertically. In modern Tibia, you can notice that monsters with a blockable spawn type will appear out-of-nowhere (without the blue flash) on other floors.</p>
