I am not sure if this is bugged or not but I waited over an hour for this to spawn. Never saw it. I did all the fates that were in the East Lark area. Anyone have this issue? This is in regards to the Sylph Beastman tribe daily.

A Wrench In The Works is the FATE name, not sure of the exact spawn timer, but it's fairly long, especially with all the other FATEs being left to rot, hence postponing the timer even more.
I personally feel that if a Quest gives you the requirement of doing a FATE, it should also put an NPC there to TRIGGER said FATE.
Good thing this was fixed in last nights maintenance so it would spawn more regularly... oh wait... it wasn't.
This is terrible. Just got the quest for the first time and I had to double check to see if I was getting an extra 500Philo's and 50,000g for the time it takes. Just had to abandon it as I do not have time to wait hours.
Great idea about making it have an npc to start this fate.
Confirmed 3 hour wait and it still doesn't spawn.
I've started farming it, well sorta, basically if I see it spawn while im in East Shroud I go do it while its there and in theory stock up a Proto-thingy for the beast quest.
I did it last night and the area is so small with so much it in almost died. I am so glad I wont have to do it anymore since it is a tier 1 Fate for Sylph and I should hit Tier 3 tonight.
Weird. Whenever I've looked for this fate it is either up or reappears within 15 minutes. Not bragging. Just wondering if there could be server differences.
I only had to wait a bit the first time I got the quest. After that, I see it pretty much everytime I go to do my daily sylphy quests. It's kind of nice that you can get the item from the fate even when you don't have the quest. Today I didn't have the quest, but I went to try to help other people doing the fate and I got a key. Now I don't have to do the fate the next time I get the quest, which is great if for some reason the fate does not show up.
If I get a FATE in a daily, I just abandon it and do one fewer that day. It's just not worth it.
I do enjoy FATEs in their intended form. I'm running around the world and somethings up so a bunch of people run in and help out. That's fun.
Sitting on a log/in a desert/in the snow because I need to wait for this random FATE to pop for some stupid quest is not fun at all. That's just a terrible idea.
As a side note, if you participate in a FATE that is being used as a beast daily sidequest when you DON'T need to do it for the daily, you can still get the completion item from it. I keep the completion items for the FATEs in my inventory. I participated in the Magitek one for the Sylphs when I saw a bunch of people doing it and I didn't need to do it for the daily and still got the Proto key. I figured "Sweet, now when I have to do the FATE I'll already have the item for it! Free daily!!"
The FATE quests never spawn for me as a daily if I have the pre-requisite item in my inventory before I get my dailies for the day. Having that item effectively blocked that quest from ever appearing for me in Sylph dailies ever again. Didn't get the FATE daily for 8 days. When I ranked up Sylph, I discarded the key. The next day I had the Magitek Menace on my list again in the 1st tier dailies. I may not have gotten a free daily, but i got something even better. No FATEs for dailies.
Your welcome ;)
