Odin Spawn Timer

Still have only seen Odin twice and never Behemoth as a casual player who enjoys vanity. So to me putting vanity items on such a thing is just incredibly crazy.

Only real solution is to make everyone participating get the items, and allow them to be sold. That way people will participate to make money, and those who miss it can buy items to get their vanity stuff.

The alternative with popping them every 3 hours is good in theory, but people would get what they wanted and stop doing it and then you have to beat Odin and Behemoth with groups the size of 3-12. Which means nerfing the fates so they can be done solo.

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
