Random Encounters Clarification [Rise of the Runelords Spoilers]

[Nearyn]

My players will soon reach the fabled city of Xin Shalast, and as I was reading up on the city, I found it mentioned that I should double the frequency of wandering monsters.

I have 2 questions.

1: Using the Random Encounters tables for Xin-Shalast, as presented in Lost Cities of Golarion, would you use only the High-level table (party is level 15), or would you use both the medium level and high-level table? Or maybe even the low-level table? If you would use multiple tables, how would you decide which table to use?

2: How often should I roll to see if my players attract attention, while exploring Shalast? Twice as often, the book says, but how often is that? Anywhere you can direct me to? If not, could I have your opinion on the matter?

Thanks a buch.

Check pages 404-405 if you have the Anniversary Edition. It has the chance of encounter in the text, and has all the tables for the different regions.

All those random encounters do is prolong the AP. Also most groups could bypass them with even a small amount of imagination and resources they have available.

Spoiler:

My group skipped everything and had to go back and collect the rings we needed

Thanks a bunch you two. I appreciate it :)
