Besieged prisoner cell locations?

[Evelyn]

Looking for a list/map of locations that prisoners can be at, specifically one for mamook. Tried a search h ere, tried Vana'Diel Atlas, nothing... anyone?

I don't think that anyone has done this. I am not sure if this is because the prisoner locations are random, or if no one has bothered. I think that if the locations are not random it would be a really good idea to have locations for all of the prisoners, especially for the generals.

Prisoners are random. It doesn't make sense when they put Zazarg near the entrance and the guy who sells Gambisons for 30k is way back with the true sight stuff, but oh well.

I understand that the individual spots npcs can be at change, but the possible locations don't change, do they? IE an individual hatch will always have a chance of having a prisoner, no?

Both times I have rescued Zazarg from Mamook he has been in the same place. Not saying that is absolute proof, but there is a possibility that prisoners only have a certain amount of cells where they can pop.

I haven't seen any good maps for prisoner rescue, but you can tell by looking at the map what spots may have cells in them, especially in places like Halvung. Also, widescan can and does locate NPCs on the map, so if you have a RNG/BST main or subjob it may be worth using for rescue missions.

[Evelyn]

never thought about widescan, does it show npc prisoner locations with 100% reliability? or just possible locations for each npc?

[Kaeli]

It'll just show you any NPCs there when you scan.
