In the Crytal Desert I've run into quite a few interesting lvl 24 bosses and I would have loved to check if they got any skills worth capturing. Unfortunatly, when I grab my SoC and return to the same place I never found the same boss in the same place again. For example I've once stumbled across a monk hydra boss just outside the western exit of Augury Rock. (Can't recall the name.) I must have zoned in and out of Augury Rock about 15 times checking the spawn point of that boss, but ... nothing ... nada ... niente ... ne rien ... nichts.

Are the spawn points for bosses in the explorable areas completely random? What's the chance for a boss to spawn? And do they spawn in the same general area or even in the exact same location?
Please note that I'm not talking about the well-known elite skill bosses in the missions. I'm talking explorable areas here.
