I killed Carhillion (Sorcery merchant) how long until his tombstone appears

dark-souls-2

It's been hours and I've reloaded, quit, warped, etc multiple times but still no dice. Any clue on where or when his tombstone appears?

As of current knowledge the best and most efficient way of making tombstones appear is by Quit/Reloading until they appear. I have in personal experience had NPC's come back anywhere from the first reload (immediately after killing) to the fourth (also immediately after killing). Also be aware that the Tombstone locations do not completely correspond to the locations you killed them, and you may have to search around to all locations the NPC goes to.
