the pirate ship leaves norg every 57 minutes.

selbina<->mhaura is every 16:00 , 00:00, and 08:00

the pirates will attack the boat everytime the pirates departure matches the 00 00 time spot from selbina<-> mhaura. If it matches at 16 they dont attack. if it matches at 08 i never tried so cant confirm if they attack this timeline spot.

Okay this is huge if true. Is that 57 earth minutes, or 57 Vana'diel minutes? If it's Vana'diel then I think that should mean a chance literally every 57th ferry trip... so every 19 Vana'diel days, but that would mean it's always 00:00, 08:00, or 16:00, it can't line up so any two or more of those times can have pirates and ferries launch at the same time.

If it's earth minutes though... a ferry runs every 19.2 minutes at 2.4 earth minutes per Vana'diel hour, which should make the intersection there every 95th trip, about once every 30 hours and 12 minutes? And then there's potentially a 1/3 or even 2/3 chance that it just doesn't happen if the 16:00 observation is true (not chance-based, if there's pirates at 00:00 this would mean maybe pirates 95 trips later, and definitely not pirates 190 trips later.)

I could swear I've seen pirates twice in a day before so those figures both seem a bit too big, but I guess it's easy to test if somebody can find a pirate ship the first time and keep track from then on.

based on vanadiel time... you have pirate ships leaving all the time its a quick cycle of arriving and departure.

u need to go to norg and mark the timeline its departing in a notepad and then u can make the calculation when it ll be next time it ll match the 00 00 from selbina to mhaura.

its a rotation of a few vanadiel days.

btw as i said i never tested the one that matches 08. The one from 16 no pirate spawn and the one from 00 00 pirate spawn for sure.
if i remember right my math every 2 vanadiel day a match will happen on 08 or 16 or 00 respectively.

so its a rotation of 6 days to match 00.

also there s a small shift on that 3 minutes that the pirate ship is eating from the one hour round to make that spiral. its not perfect. sometimes its 3 minutes sometimes is 4 and that shift is happening on the time it takes between the the departing from the arriving. Sometimes it ll last 3 vanadiel minutes , sometimes 4 etc. But in the end it always end up matching perfectly anchoring the 08 16 and 00. its a like a "moon" movement.

if you say u catch pirate in a short time period it means that maybe on the 08 they spawn too but i believe they dont or maybe there s some extra condition that can make they trigger too

now if u apply the math and go on the 00 match for sure u ll get them with no guessing...
