The X noticed you and ran away! (Island Sanctuary)

Looks like they truly did fix the spawns of the rares. I tested it with the gator spawn. Before if you went into before a specific time, it would mean your rare would not spawn when its window opened. Went in a little after 12am ET (which was when you were supposed to have exited your island before the spawn time/weather aligned) and left and zoned back in at 6am when the gator was set to spawn. Sure enough, there it was. Thank the Twelve. And SE, I guess. But yeah, just wanted to give a first-hand confirmation on that.

Yes, it's fixed. I intentionally stayed in zone prior to when the Alligator was due to spawn just to tempt fate but it spawned as it should have. I missed with my first attempt and was detected on second attempt with this character. It was straddling the rocks so if I'm right about position affecting chance to capture, I might have misjudged the hitbox or simply had the bad RNG that attempt. But I switched to one of my other characters right away and then caught it first attempt with that character - behind and out of hitbox. That time it was standing in the middle of the creek, no rocks under it.

As long as I'm continuing to get fairly consistently results, I don't mind taking that extra caution. I'd rather spend an extra minute or two on a capture than have to spend a half hour gathering more materials for nets/restraints/soporifics thanks to successive misses and failures.

Besides, it's more fun for me my way. It feels more like trying to capture a wild creature instead of like grabbing a runaway pet off the street.

Yeah, I've been trying to stay behind all of my rares so far. It just makes sense to me, whether it actually makes a difference or not. Even if it doesn't, it just feels right.

It does and everyone's mileage varies. For me, I failed enough with the sneaky sneaky method that I just started running right in up their faces and apparently it startled them into compliance. For the paissa, I just landed right on him and got him first try. It seems only when I try to treat them like Eureka mobs that I have any issues. Only got the alligator left thankfully, unless I want to have a spare of a couple.

The paissa still eludes me. I decided to give it a rest for a bit until I get my resources back up. I've definitely used more nets on this one than I have all the other combined and then some. I have to be around 50 at this point.

Update:



I got my paissa. I can finally move on with my farming life.
