public dungeon boss loot timer
apparently the bosses in public dungeons (maybe even delves) have a timer before they can be looted again?
I saw on ZOS forums where someone said that it's 3 minutes, but it seems to be a bit longer.
Does anyone know or can confirm how the timer works?

Why farm the same Public dungeon over & over when you can just go to another one?

Technically, it depends on how many players are active in the area. If you're the only one in there, then it can take ~15 minutes, give or take 5 minutes. Easily observable on EU megaserver between midnight and about 6 a.m. in Europe, or PTS everywhere but newest areas.

There is some additional timer for killing different bosses. You can kill ~3 bosses one after another without delay and they will give you their loot. But all next bosses (even different) will give you only gold for some time. For example It is noticeable in Deshaan dungeon with all its bosses placed close to each other. Interesting how exactly it works.

ED: Loot timer is respawn timer (5 min). But game can respawn boss before this time if some new(?) player approaches him. Usually these respawned bosses get killed before this player can atack them and he has to wait them to respawn anyway. Strange system.

If somebody arrives who has the quest then the boss timer is interrupted and will respawn again. Other than that you'll have to wait.

This also applies to the overland too.
