Proto Ultima Fate

Does this fate ever spawn? I've been camping Azys Lla for days now and i'm finally beginning to get a little annoyed with it's spawn window. Not only does it have a 2 - 3 day spawn after it was last killed, it also has a small weather window to indicate that it has spawned, and with this zone only having maybe 2 - 4 people in it tops doing HW relic it is FAR too easy to miss. It's rather unfortunate that you have to do this extremely rare fate twice for the ultima horns, as if doing it once wasn't bad enough for hw content.

It does, on shiva i just relinked it from my hunt LS while i was in Eureka. The main problem is its a rather dead zone and its easy to miss... they already buffed it like 2-3x before that i never saw it in 3 years... i feel you, rly...

As Kuroka said it's a zone that isn't really used outside of level 59 MSQ so the chances of someone being in the zone when the weather changes to Hyperelectricity are small, and even smaller for that player to understand what the change means. It doesn't help that the weather change only lasts for 5 minutes instead of the duration of the FATE like Tension and the Levin weather patterns do. Whenever I'm in the zone, the first thing I do is go look to see if the FATE is up since the current weather doesn't mean anything unless you're in that 5 minute window.

Occasionally we'll have someone in the hunt network decide to camp the zone and one time we got lucky with the weather changing as we were trying to spawn Leucrotta. The biggest problem is people underestimate just how fast that FATE can be completed and early pullers can end up screwing up things for others even if they're on their way almost as soon as the relays go out. Most of the time we can get people to wait but not always.

Yeah, I happened to catch the weather once a few months back. Not being part of any LS, it took a bit of TPing shouting to even get anyone's attention for it (spawned during some quiet hour for the server).
And I seem to recall nobody gets synced for it, so it burns incredibly fast. And it'll be even faster once 5.0 hits.

All in all, kinda disappointing for a FATE that gets this much attention.

I still wish the devs would make a event day where these rare fates spawn at a specific time :T
I don't really understand why this has to be so difficult

All they have to do is make the weather last more
Like ixion
The chance is slim for somone to see it in a dead zone like azys la 30 minute weather much better then 5

True.
It is kind of messed up how easy it was for players to get originally compared to now.
You would think they would do something to compensate for this but no, apparently years of new players having to do things the hard/punishing way or forgo it completely is the only option

This is where linkshells and Discord come in, especially the hunt related ones. With hunters going in and out the zone looking for their marks, it improves the chances for FATEs to noticed and relayed to other players who then relay in turn to more linkshells and their FCs then word can spread from there even farther. Even if someone who finds it doesn't need the FATE personally, they will relay for those who do.
