haven't met a cow
Herald
since 3.2.. after like 30 farm runs maybe?
how has you luck been?
Yes, I have met lots of cow heralds. But if you haven't spawned a
Herald
yet, just one T1 Cow
Herald
will spawn in the cow level. For this you must kill about two-thirds of the cows. There is just a very small chance that a second
Herald
(T2) spawns and only if the first heralds spawned very early (between 52% and 56% zone completion).
Do you maybe kill just a few cows? Maybe just
The Cow King
?

nope, full clears, including many times starting on t5 aggro level.. guess rng has been sparse on cow heralds

I don't know if I could call that luck, since the drops are garbage, but I've seen lots of cow heralds, even two per run sometimes

well at least they are less likely to take a full quiver of freezing
Arrows
and half a
Belt
of super mana potions than the blunderbores and greater mummies in the tombs..

Very strange. And you are sure that the cow level was terrorized?
You cannot force a cow TZ with a shard. It must be a 30 min server TZ.

ah that explains it lol
thanks, didn't know. is it the only area not affected by shards?

One day I was in a mood to terrorize all game to try getting as much Heralds I could.
So went on sharding Act I, Act II act Act III.

After killing
Mephisto
I took the portal to Act IV and started to kill stuff, expecting the T5 Heralds to spawn.

Killed all
Outer Steppes
monsters, no Heralds. I thought it was an unlucky zone.

Went on
Plains of Despair
, killed all monsters, no Heralds spawning. I was, c'mon, no f'king Heralds in two zones.

Went ahead on
City of the Damned
and after half of zone killed with no Heralds I figured out why I was so unlucky. I forgot to activate the
Deep Worldstone Shard
. Dumb me 😀.

With multiple players across different zones, yes, regularly.

Within the same zone, it should no longer be possible as spawning one
Herald
drops your clear % to 0, making it mathematically impossible to spawn a 2nd one without enough further clearing after the 1st. Though we are talking about Blizzard here so that reset-sequencing can probably break down every so often and still allow for a back to back spawn in rare situations.
I wanna say I've seen it happen exactly once since they changed it but I'm actually not 100% anymore whether that really was just after the patch or actually still just before. I remember making a post related to it for another reason but too lazy to look that up and compare the date. :P

thanks! thought as much that the question would demonstrate just as much ignorance as the one about the cows :)
