Same time and place in Besaid

12pm est, aetherial gate and NPC popped by Lima Choco Stables. Teleported to Copperbell, killed some cultists and got a little chest.

Repopped exactly one hour later in same spot. Brought us to copperbell both times.

Didn't spawn the next hour in any city

Same time as your's it happened in Rabanastre at Uldah, sent us to Mistbeard this time. I have only done it twice, both in Uldah, and have now visitied both Mistbeard and Aqueducts. Random FTW!

Edit: same event, same location, repeated an hour later.

While I have not fully figured out the pop pattern, or if there even is any, from the posts and personal experience, here are some things I have noticed:

Every pop so far has been either 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock, no real pattern to am/pm yet that I know of (so far I have confirmed 9am>6pm>6am>9am on Figaro), and also no pattern regarding city pop; on Figaro it went Uldah>Grid>Grid>Limsa. Also, each event as mentioned, lasts for two hours. I.e, the 6pm one will pop say, 6:05 or so, end at maybe 6:35. Next one will pop at 7:02, end at 7:40. Something to that extent. The first two pops were both to mistbeard, the second two were both to copperbell on Figaro. So perhaps each day contains two pops that are the same event location?

One last thing to note is that these appear to cap at 16 people, so if there are 16 people inside the node will probably disappear, or not let you in.

Again, no hard facts yet, these are just observations, but it might help those trying to camp to have a rough idea of at least when they can catch a pop.


EDIT: Sorry, I should mention those times are PST. Which means those that said it popped 12EST are also at the same time

EDIT2: Editing again to say I'm pretty sure there are only two pops every 24 hours (PST). I don't know what that means for other timezones but I'm sure it'll calculate out to something that makes sense lol. Check today that it popped 6am pst and 6pm pst, and yesterday it popped 6am and 9am. No other times as far as I know during the day.

Gridania at 6 PM (PST).
