Do things respawn?

And are "dungeons" or whatever randomised each time or ?

All enemies will respawn once you leave an area for a period of time(a week in game time it is said, I don;t know how long it requires).
Also, it seems the exterior region has the respawn mechanic even you are in the region, although never find any info related to this. I have encountered enemies spawned within my sight, and keep "farming" the same group of enemies in the same place every time I pass it.

I don't think there is any sort of randomness in this game. All enemies are located in fixed position for the fixed type within dungeons, the only difference is that they are patrolling so you don't necessarily engage them at the same position every time.

There's some randomness. For example, Pearlbird Cutthroats show up pretty much at random, probably in place of normal pearlbirds. I've also encountered Alpha Tuanosaurs in unexpected places that I really doubt they could have patrolled to. Other groups that don't seem to patrol have appeared sometimes and not others. So yes I think outdoor enemy spawns are semi-random.

As for the respawn times, I haven't specifically checked. I know that resource nodes and merchant shops respawn/restock every 3 ingame days. However, rare resource nodes (blue sand deposits for example) don't actually FULLY respawn in that time. You can gather them again, but you won't get the rare resource, so gathering blue sand after 3 days I only get salt or shrimp.

If you wait long enough, everything respawns, including enemies, chests, and the full-gather at rare resources. I don't think it was a week though. Two weeks maybe?

From what I have experienced, I always encounter the same enemy type at the same location, with few exceptions that sometime they don't spawn. As rare version of the wildlife, e.g. Alpha Tuanosaurs, I have met once among the pilgrim road, which surprised me

Loot is also random in some areas. I've had to restart several time and every time I do the loot in the cierzo stash is different and the loot you get from the captains chest in the bandit camp is random as well
