PREY ONLINE FATE

This fate is ridiculous. The spawn time is almost unknown.. people tell me 36 hours from last spawn time, others say 4-5 days... there’s no timer for it or anything. For a Fate as old as this one, the spawn rate should be increased. This is just obnoxious, in my opinion. I’ve seen Odin spawn far more than this. Ive been wanting these horns for forever and just need to do this Fate one last time (the whole needing 5 of the plates is ridiculous too. Drop is only 3 so you have to do the Fate twice). This is a ridiculous amount of time for such a small thing as a glam item. Please increase the spawn rate.

it spawns more frequently than people think, the weather change only occurs for the first 5 minutes of the Fate. Unless someone is in the area during that 5 minute duration AND knows what the weather means, then the Fate goes unnoticed.

I’ve been waiting since the 36 hour marker. I know it might take all day to spawn and I’m watching the weather.. I just wish there was an easier way for such an old fate. I mean, I’ve seen Ixion and foxlady spawn more lol

yeah would be nice if they either made it so the proto ultima boss in the 24 man's drop could be traded in for it as well or somthing this is a really cool item but its locked behind an old system that just isnt fun for anyone and bearly anyone does it anymore

could they make the weather last until the fate is over(just like the other Coerl king and ixion)
it would make it much easier to know that the fate is up
5 minutes is a very small window to know especially when not much people are in Azys la now

the slim chance of knowing its there for 30 minutes rather then 5 minutes

It's all just luck. I've never seen Ixion, for example. I've seen a lot of shouts in my chat when I've had to go AFK (so missed it) & I've also been in The Lochs when it spawned but couldn't fly quickly enough before it was zerged down. One day I'll have success.

Curious question so I know what to watch for, does the FATE show up on the map, or is it hidden like Odin/Coeurlregina?

hidden and appear in 2 or 3 different locations

Ah. Then I've been dumb about looking for it. And yes, it could stand to match similar FATEs and maintain indicative weather.

I guess it can sorta be justified with "We wanted to make this FATE especially special." Making it as difficult as possible to keep track of. Weather doesn't stay up, combined with a zone that nobody stays in for long. It doesn't even connect anywhere. At least with Dravanian Forelands and Coeurlregina, I catch notice of it by passing through into other zones, or stopping for some Vath dailies. But Azys La is a bit of a wasteland that I currently only visit for the one Hunt bill and maybe the occasional stop for relic steps once I get rolling on that.

if it had multiple rewards like a mount or barding
even a full set of glam i would understand

but it just horns

Haha. Zoned in just now doing my usual hunt bill, and not 10 seconds in, the weather changes. I even managed to find Ultima flying around with his lasers. (although I had a pf window up in the way and missed whatever he did at the end of his flight)

So yeah. Having seen it now, and seeing that it doesn't even sync, maybe it doesn't matter so much. It doesn't feel as much like something that brings tons together. Feels like a normal A or S rank. I mean, I don't even know what, if any, mechanics there were to that fight. Definitely doesn't feel like an Odin or Coeurlregina-level fight.

There's a lot of problems with Prey Online.

First, Azys Lla is one of the most useless zones in the game. Nobody has any reason to be there for an extended period, except for players doing MSQ. Combined with the 5minute weather, nobody sees it.

Second, Azys Lla has 1 aetheryte. Where is that aetheryte? On literally the other side of the map of any of Prey Online's spawn points. So you have 5 minutes of travel time alone even if you know *exactly* where it is. And if you don't, then you're SOL.

Third, it's too easy to kill.

All they need to do to fix it is to put an Aetheryte on the ship in the middle of the map and make the weather last for as long as the FATE.

It's not about the reward.

And even if it was, why do they require us to do it TWICE to get the horns?

Ixion gets zerged down in 10 minutes, Prey Online gets zerged down in 10 seconds. Never seeing Ixion is terrible luck, never seeing Prey Online is normal.

I stil don't get why the horns are lonked to this FATE that never spawns....I mean come on SE, just make it a loot on Dun Scaith's Ultima -_-

The FATE will usually spawn between 15:00-20:00 ET. Hyperelectricity weather has same rate/chance as in Diadem as it is in AZys lla, with 1 difference. Diadem has umbral winds, 1 out of 5 umbral winds in diadem will be hyperelectric. Now the thing about rates is same rates will spawn at (roughly) same time, so you can watch for Umbral Winds in Sea of clouds. Edit: All 3 Zones are part of Alabathia's spine, which I assume there's a lore about umbral winds?

This is post is misleading. I am assuming that the timer on this post http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-How-they-work is correct. The fate spawns after 36 hours under certain conditions which I haven't figured out. The weather does not play a factor in the spawn of this fate. I was apart of a group that killed Noctilucale this last Monday during thunder. 7/30/18 around 9:30 pm pst. Since then I decided that I would wait for the fate when I could in Azys Lla for a consecutive fight. During that time until this morning 8/3/18 I didn't see it spawn. The only time I would look for him was during thunder storms which was my mistake because Hyper-Electricity weather condition happened during fair skies today at 8:43 am pst. If you're looking for this fate I would do it the old fashion way like I did and just wait at Azys Lla til you see him. The unfortunate reality is that if you want them you need to hunt it yourself instead of getting someone to report its <pos>.

It's already easy to do. Don't confuse the time commitment to camp a zone with difficulty.

It won't be any more dead next expac than it was this expac. People will continue to camp the zone watching for the FATE is they want the reward badly enough.

It doesn't need to be fixed, other than the possible exception of having the weather condition appear for the full 30 minutes like the other weather related FATEs do.

We caught Prey Online up twice this past week on Coeurl. Hunt linkshells got relays out as usual, and we had a lot of players show up including cross world players both times. Join a cross world linkshell or discord for hunts and FATEs if you don't want to camp the zone yourself. But also don't expect to get easy rewards when you're not willing to put in some effort yourself to get what you want.

I informed myself a lot about Prey Online and I want to camp in Azys Lla to hopefully get my horns one day.
But I still have a question concerning the time window: all I found online it says the fate can spawn 36 hrs after it was completed the last time. I also read that after these 36hrs there is a time window of 36hrs again within the fate can spawn.
Do someone know if this is right? Or is the time window (after the 36hrs from the last time) infinite?

As far as I know, it's still a 36-72 hour cooldown after the last time the FATE was up. I know since I replied to howyman, we've seen the FATE up twice on Coeurl that I'm aware of.

I highly recommend joining linkshells (same world or cross world) that do FATE relays if you're still trying to get the plating to buy the horns.

now it is 2020 and still no changes, the weather should be up the entire fate and the time limit should be shortened. it IS ridiculous for how long it takes and this is old content.
