In some edge cases right near the time of day where day/night mobs switch, you might get a task and then have them despawn. This can happen and is perfectly normal. Wait until night or you can die to clear the current task.

It is impossible for it to select a non-spawned mob. Therefore, if you received the task at noon, the mob was alive and well. That being said, if there are day/night mobs spawned during the wrong hours, please note them in our issue tracker so we can address it.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is definitely a mob alive with that name in range of the task giver if you received the task.

Another question would be if it is possible to adjust the range? Sometimes you have to walk far far away for a mob from your task what takes even more time Maybe it would be possible to set a range within the tasks from a guard are given?

I believe wandering spirits are present 24h around the salisbury zoneline iirc
