If you happen to ignore them you won't get a spawn at all. When they weren't shown on the map wherever you were on the map we missed one that we already did and we didn't get a spawn either so this

is .. strange for me. You do a chain of FATEs, yes, but this chain happens to take one hour to complete. That's just what it is, isn't it? Because if you miss one or let one slide the chain breaks because a piece is missing or it simply can't connect.


Remember that some FATEs have a longer spawn time than others and it can happen that they won't pop in a spawn attempt like "Call Me Mayheps" and .. another one called "Book something something" ... and the NPC FATE near the Hildibrand one. Something with "Diamonds" - so it also is not "do every known FATE (once)", just so we have ruled that out once and for all.
