I've been sitting here in Upper La Noscea for hours waiting for Poor Maid's Mess and Poor Maid's Misadventure to spawn.
Now these two FATES appear in the same place as Poor Maid's Mishap and Poor Maid's Misfortune spawn. Which for the past 2 days in the hours I've been here, have always spawned.
I've googled to see if there is a rhythm to these FATEs. They are not chained FATEs (meaning there isn't a condition of one to make another spawn) so I'm not sure if it is:
1. Completely random
2. Some kind of hourly thing (maybe between such and such times certain ones spawn)
3. Affected by other FATEs in the area to trigger them.
I have spent time clearing other FATEs in the zone to no avail.
Does anyone have any more info I might have missed?
EDIT: Poor Maid's Mess just spawned as I was typing this at 10:25am EST
EDIT2: Ok seems like a FATE spawns every 15 minutes. Gotta love randomness!

To be specific a fate is spawning every 15 minutes because a fate lasts 15 minutes and when one ends another one spawns.
If you actively work to complete fates, so that the number of fates is below the cap, more of them will spawn, not just one at a time, and not just one every 15 minutes. -
07-12-2022, 12:32 AMAngelCheese77Okay. The ones I'm looking for spawn in the exact same place as each other, so I am doing the FATEs that appear in the area. Do you suggest I keep clearing out the other ones as well? Meaning across the zone itself?Quote:

EDIT2: Been sitting here for ... 5 hours now. Every other FATE except Misadventure has spawned. Good old RNG -

I took you at your word in your first post....
But I remembered latter, the fates ARE related.
It's less a chained fate and more a cycle of fates.
If the defence goes badly, you end up in one point, if the defence passes another group invades.
Mess, Misfortune, Mishap and Misadventure.
Are you trying to get the minion? The junkmonger shows up with it after two defences in a row I think?
Or the achivement for defending it through the entire series? -

He walks in from the lower outside of the area and then comes to a stop by one of the buildings, at which point you can interact and buy/sell, and once another Poor Maid's FATE spawns, he de-spawns.Quote:

If the zone is currently at FATE cap, then no other FATEs will spawn, even chained or sequenced FATEs (Like Poor Maid's FATE sequence chain)
So, if you are parked doing nothing but clearing the Poor Maid's FATEs, then you are doing it wrong.... Clear every FATE in the zone in-order to get FATEs to re-spawn faster and have a greater chance of having the FATEs you want sooner. -

More for completionist sake than anything
And you got it. Will get back to clearing the other fates! -

As mentioned, those are loosely connected as well, so, you may be chasing after one that doesn't spawn unless you allow one of them to fail.

Spent a couple days trying to get the "Poor Maid's Misadventure" FATE with no luck.
I've tried completing all the other Poor Maid's FATEs, but the Misadventure never appears.
I've tried letting all the FATEs fail, but that also does not lead to Misadventure appearing.
Does anyone know which of these related FATEs need to succeed/fail to actually trigger the Misadventure? -

When Poor Maid's Misadventure was still in the game, it was the fourth in the chain. -

Ah, so it's removed. I used a different wiki page where it's still listed as available. Thank you!

10-25-2022, 07:54 AMHasratHuh. Funny how this didn't come up previously... and curious how there doesn't seem to be much info about this.Quote:

Still, strange that there seems to not be much clear information about it not existing. Unless this is maybe just another case of "data miners added this to the list, but it never actually existed in the game on release." -
