Odin Spawn Timer

[Cherie]

I think the point of Odin and Behemoth *are* that the rewards are useless vanity items.

It is said in this thread that for all the trouble it is to track down Odin and Behemoth that the rewards should be worthwhile. I disagree. Do you realize how upsetting it would be if you "missed him by a hour" and now lost a chance at some meaningful item?

It's the whole basis of this game, that anything requiring luck or having some difficultly should at best give you something meaningless. People get their cranky pants on with even a hint of some low-droprate uber items of old (like ffxi). Or if there was some boss that was super difficult that dropped a good item? That bosses drop table will eventually get moved to a fuzzy sheep right outside the starting area.

It's what the masses want. I've learned to live with it... lol

What you could do is join an Odin/behemoth LS (if they are still around) and ask someone to send you a /tell when he pops, crank your volume right up, do what you need to, and listen for the chime.

It isn't meant to be reliable though. People aren't meant to be going "It's 17:42 on a Tuesday, Odin is up!" He's just kind of a random thing. I've missed spawns by minutes in the past, but that's just the way it goes. It's not as if he has gamebreaking drops, it's just for fun.
