Odin and KB Fates

[Danbo05]

With all this Atma farming going on, you'd think there'd be more people notifying one another of Odin and King Behemoth fates occurring. However, as of late, there's been little to no word on either. Just curious, are these fates still spawning and I'm just on at the wrong time? Has the spawn rate been lowered? Or have they simply...should I say...disappear? :O

They re spawn every 72 hours, you're just getting unlucky lol.

Probably. The odd thing is, I'm actually in an Odin and KB linkshell that tracks them and notifies everybody, but haven't heard a word about either Odin or KB for a week now. Which is odd considering there are folks out and about Atma farming in the shrouded areas as well. But yeah, could just be unlucky lately.

Odin is not on a 72 hour spawn timer. He spawns roughly ever 15 to 20 hours after a failed kill or 30 to 40 hours after a successful kill. Odin's Fate was also having some spawning trouble after the update and the downtime last Thursday was suppose to fix that.

King Behemoth seems to have a similar timer.

Odin was up yesterday on Tonberry and the whole North Shroud map crashed and everyone was DC'ing like crazy. He actually reset because just about everyone present got ejected from the game.

I could see why Odin would be called out, since he's got a chance of spawning in one of the 3 zones... well, I -think- he does. Only seen him near Quarrymill and Little Solace, so...

However, Behemoth spawns in Coerthas, and there aren't any Atmas there...

48-72 seems more accurate. He was killed Wednesday afternoon on Cactuar then about the same time today, so about 48 hours between those two kills.

My biggest complaint on it is the patch notes say that getting a gold rating should be easier now. During the kill today I landed the claim, got in a full party, and still got a silver rating. It's still WAY too difficult to get a gold rating on that FATE.

Yeah, they seem to be spawning again now at a normal rate. Although Odin seems to be spawning around times when no one's awake as of late.

Is there an active Linkshell for Odin shoutouts in Cactuar?

If so can I get an invite?

I suspect there was a failed kill around hour 36 between those spawns. With a roughly 36 hour respawn period after a successful kill and a roughly 15 to 20 hour respawn after a failed kill you would get apparent 48 and 72 hour spawn periods depending on the servers ability to kill him during its low population periods.

Prior to 2.2's release, I managed to see Odin spawn 3 times over a 36 hour period on Siren. First time was a failed kill of a level 57 Odin during the midday, second spawn was a time out of a level 56 Odin that appeared after midnight. The third spawn was midday/afternoon of a level 54 Odin that was successfully killed with a large number of parties getting Gold and a lag burst of about 40 players getting the "Uncut" achievement.

The requirements to get Gold seem to vary with Odin's level. Level 60 seems to require a higher enmity score than level 54.
