World A Change To Rare Mobs And Key Guardians

At the moment, these two types of mobs pretty much spawn in specific set locations, and these are very sparse. They make people who do not know these locations feel like they don't exist, but people who do know them can get one to spawn every 5-15 minutes, even potentially faster with /class

This isn't good, nor is it balanced, and it takes the adventure out of hunting for rare mobs. In order to fix this, i present the following system:

First of all, there will be a map of nodes for each area (probably in a YAML file), along with connections between these nodes. Lets take nivla for example. They will be about every 25- 50 blocks away from each other. This is good enough to allow for exploration instead of camping while also not messing too much with the current mechanics.

When the server starts, one of these nodes will be chosen, and a mob will be marked in memory somewhere (maybe yaml too? idk how wynncraft deals with storing data). The mob has been "spawned".

It then can "pathfind", moving from node to node at a determined speed. This may be semi random, or be designed to follow a certain path or target certain locations.

After that, when a player loads the node, the mob is spawned and the player can find it. If left alone it despawns when the player leaves and continues pathfinding.

When killed, after a quick cool down, a new mob is spawned and the process repeats. This cooldown could be from none for large areas, to 5 minutes for tiny areas like nivla.

These mobs could also have other cool effects. For example, an infested pit key guardian could be in nivla village, and the citizens of the village might be panicking or hiding in their homes.
