Thread: Spawn Times

  1. #1

    Spawn Times

    Are there any websites that will tell you information regarding spawn times. More specifically, WHEN the next spawn will be. Im interested in the biggies like Tara, Proffessor Jones, etc. And of course if anyone really knows the REAL spawn formula for TK. plz post it.

    Thanks in advance

    Well, most guilds keep this information (at least for the other 18h+ uniques) private and amongst themselves so as to have as little competition as possible at each spawn. Less competition = more chance at winning the loot.

    As for Tara though, that's a faction-wide thing. Clan on RK1 is looking for ways to better notify people when the next GS will spawn, but its rather difficult to do, and the motivation to implement something like this is rather low at the moment. There's a command to find out the last time Tara died in a specific PF, but that's for admins only, and the command/output is really bloated

    It's also difficult to automate something like this on a website. The information would have to be manually entered, and its much wiser to manually enter it into your guilds' forums or whatever other means of communication you may have. You can automate the monitoring of server/zone uptimes but not whether a mob is spawned or when it dies.

    Thanks for the info. Regarding Tara, there are 4 playfields? Is this right? Do the different playfields all spawn at the same time (all pf simultaneously) or is it staggered over the 18 hour time (each on idependant 18 hour timer)? thnx again

    Its generally within a 2 hour window unless its been a while since a server reset. Sometimes its difficult to open up the last 2 playfields for various reasons, so it sometimes gets spread out over upwards of 4-6 hours, but that's somewhat rare.

    Also, sometimes only 1 playfield will crash (read: reset), offsetting its spawn time from the rest. Keeping track is a royal pain

    I've heard from several people that TK has a 20% chance to spawn every 20 minutes. I'm not sure where they got this info from but it seems to be correct as far as I can tell. It's definitely has some kind of random element to it. TK can die and be back 20 minutes later or not show his face for several hours.
