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

[CableMonkey]

My apologies... I removed the "max window" wording so not to cause issue and went to reply to you, but my co-worker was staring down into my soul demanding that lunch happen NOW. lol

The 132 number is from my personal experience alone and shouldn't (nor any other number for that matter) be considered fact...unless of course SE comes out and states it so (which I seriously doubt they would). So that said, I apologize for stating something as fact that can't really be proven. Should I get more data that suggests a higher number, I will increment that number accordingly. I've been proven wrong before and welcome it.

150 hour BoP... going on my logic only, I'd be wanting answers. That said, I wish that would have happened to me. Curious though... Did the 140 hour Kaiser happened in the same timeframe as the 150 hour BoP on the same world?

Oh, don't apologies - I feel bad if you do ... now I think I've been rude, haha ... it's all okay.

Sadly no, happened on different windows and it even repeated itself - but yes, it was all on the same world.
It really get's frustraiting .. I mean .. you gather every node for Gandarewa and he just won't show up far far into the window.
You go afk and let Squonk chirp for an hour straight and nothing happens.

In the end it's good for testing and seeing how far it can go .. or if there are other conditions need to be met. Like a Croque at 83 hours - or Safat at 57 hours after the last kill .. or at 92 hours ..
And I can't say this enough ... I don't wanna talk about Agrippa at all .. the RNG for double rain for Laideronnette gets me everytime as well.


Also about Udumbara:
JP Wiki and we also say it's Leshy, Diakka and Sapria - yet our Spawnmembers had spawns with only Leshy and Diakka and we were looking if anyone was killing Sapria, which wasn't the case.
And they are trying for a few hours sometimes so we can be sure not many Sapria were killed before.
So could it be that it's just x amount of any plant type mob? Or was it just bad RNG? Udumbara is the only S Rank that I can't fall in love with.

I actually appreciate the weather and moon based ones, as in those who just spawn when it happens. You check the weather site, see when the double rain is coming, put an alarm or something and forget about it. If it spawns when you're at work/school or sleeping, oh well, always the next spawn.

Agrippa is in cahoots with Rowena, trying to get us to buy as many maps as possible >_>

The moon-based ones require someone to be on the spawn points to trigger...kinda like Nandi/Kaiser/Gamma/Orghana. Its a common misconception that I even fell for a few years back.

I know, but the chances of them failing to spawn when you do that, if only because the lunar cycles are so ridiculous, make them a lot more bearable for me than most other S ranks.

Pale Ride and Agrippa are in the same boat for me. I swear ours is sniped quite often.

I've wondered too if its an X number of plant mobs. This would explain the confusion on what spawned it when these Ss were finally released. I've been wondering the same about the Yumemi for Okina.

As for Bone Crawler, I keep thinking there is something more than just take the choco-porter back and forth, but can't prove it. There's been a few times I've taken the porter between the two aetherytes several times and nothing, but as soon as I go between Rhalgar's Reach and Ala Ghiri once or twice, it pops. So far I've been writing it off as coincidence, but its in the back of my mind haunting me.

I know what you mean - I usually never take any other route than the one between the two aetherytes.
Tried with the other ones without luck for now so I just stick with Ala Ghana to Ala Ghiri.

Our Bone Crawler usually spawns very late into the window as well - over 110 most of the time. I rarely see one under 100 hours. RNG on Louisoix is mean.

There once was a theory that it takes a different Leve for Wulgaru/Lampalagua to spawn each time. As well as a different map location for Agrippa/Pale.
So maybe it's a different route with a higher % than the others each time. But then again it's just a theory which is hard to prove since I doubt many will do the testing with changing the route each time and compare it to the spawn time.

With the 3-4 times I’ve gotten Bone Crawler to spawn, it was from flying between Ghanna and Ghiri. First time was notable because the window showed open for 8-9 hours and change, which is (in my anecdotal experience) the earliest spawn I’ve seen by far.

I’ve also tried flying around in basically a triangle back and forth between the three points available from the porters (basically covering every route) but had no luck. I’ve done that very little compared to spamming between the two in-zone aetherytes/destinations.

I've successfully spawned Gamma the second the clock rolled over to 5:00pm while standing on a spawn point. This was just after 132 hours since last kill....and I barely..kinda...not really...got it on video. It popped just behind my camera, but I barely see it flicker on my screen as it pops. -.-

Special thanks to the other spawners of Goblin for allowing me conduct this experiment. Next up...trying to find the end of the nightly window... (this will be harder)

Thank you for the additional confirmation! I managed to get a spawn of my own just after 5pm right after poking the same spot in the 4-5pm bracket prior, so I think that side has been pretty well confirmed at this point.

The latest known spawn I've seen is still 7:49am, so assuming hourly brackets, I've been limiting my poking to the 8-9am period every day. Either one day I get a spawn, or never again. :P

[Tranquilmelody7]

Has anyone ever conclusively debunked or confirmed whether it was possible to spawn The Pale Rider with a levequest Treasure Coffer?

I'd be more willing to test it myself if necessary, but I wanted to know if anyone can vouch for that rumor being potentially true or utterly false.
