Rising Event

I logged in at 2:00 pm EST and the recruiter had spawned (Diabolos); I made it just in time!
The fate was insane and I got the White Raven earrings.

Now I know the hell the Legacy players went through before shutdown of 1.0..I salute thee! (*^*)7

^ Same for Sargatanas. I left the game running and woke up around 1am est and the npc was there. Not sure when it despawned though.

The instance itself is fun because the chaos of a ton of characters + aoes + tight corridors makes for hilarious body counts. The NPC having a 3 hour window and a 10 hour cooldown is absolutely baffling though.

I was laughing way too hard at the amount of people that got KO'd (including me).
The waiting was annoying, but luckily, I don't have to wait anymore cuz I got what I wanted. XD

Did anyone by any chance check if the Rising Recruiter spawns in all 3 city states at the same time?

Since i've just missed the Recruiter in Ul'dah on Sargatanas, i quickly visited the other 2 city states, but he wasn't there right now.

Yes, the Rising Recruiter spawns at the other city states at the same time :)

After I did the FATE the first time in Ul'dah, I teleported to Gridana, went to the event area, and the npc was still there.

Darn. /cry (T_T )

Wait. It despawns? Why?

That's not a good decision, IMO... At all. If one person's luck was really bad they could never see the instance. Possible? Not likely, but still. Maybe I'm annoyed I missed it because I was working, and I'll need to hope it doesn't spawn again while I'm at work.

I don't doubt I'll be able to see it, but I still think it's a bad decision to make it a timer to see the NPC.

I have no idea on why it despawns, but this is apparently the NPC's schedule:

I am a bit shocked that they even manage to mess up a event like that..I was able to be online nearly the whole day and only got a message later in the evening that he is there. Honestly I just skipped the cutscence with the bard and gathered every necessary token in this and finished as fast as possible..(and more shocking, the fates were still more fun than Eureka..)

And after that I noticed that you can only put one item in the chest..why?

I am not sure if they wanted to give it the 1.0 feeling but this is really not great for a timed event..
