Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[Leknaat]

Issues With the Tree we call Wulgaru

So, I'm on a low populated Server Mateus, and in ALL major hunt linkshell's, where they call hunts 24/7 if a s rank. We have yet to see wulgaru since maintanence. every day when i've gone AFK, ive gone AFK in east shroud to make sure it wasnt a ninja kill. My friend's and myself have burnt through about 200-300 Leve's and no spawn, yet no call since maintanence.

I was starting to think was because we missed Croakadile on the first spawn circuit. Apparently not, as we had a Croak spawn yesterday.

Does anyone else have a *random* S rank that can sometimes go way beyond its timer and become difficult to spawn for no apparent reason? The reason i said *random* is sometimes we have safat missing before he spawns (3-4 hours after missing), We also have Agrippa that can sometimes be a pain...

These are the current post maintenace pop min/maxes I'm working with for the 2.0 hunts do these numbers help at all (I noticed the ones Vaandes put up don't quite work and I update mine as I find new ranges)?

40 48 Garlok
72 72 Croakadile
65 82 Croque-Mitaine
65 73 Mahisha
44 55 Nandi
65 75 Bonnacon
64 82 Brontes
66 78 Lampalagua
58 64 Minhocao
58 75 Zona Seeker
43 48 Laideronnette
66 78 Wulgaru
58 80 Thousand-cast Theda
72 72 Mindflayer
60 84 Safat
60 106 Agrippa the Mighty

One thing to keep in mind is Ariyala's timer for safat is... um... slightly off. it's listed as 15+ hours open for safat on Hyperion but in reality it's only about 4 hours so if our safat ends up taking the max time it will have been missing on Ariyala's for a few hours. I think Nandi and MOST of the 3.0 s ranks are a problem. Another problem is she doesn't restart the count when serves go down/come up

The last Wulgaru should have been between 39-49 hours after the servers came up. Is there any chance he might have popped while you were asleep or soemthing? If it was popped early Wulgaru should pop for you sometime today/tonight he's been open for about 2 hours on my server (died about 68 hours ago) and servers have been up for 111-112 hours (so he popped about 44 hours into his post maintenance window for us)
