Guessing NM pop time o.O : FFXI General Discussions

i camp an NM and the people around there could GUESSED! i do mean guess and it pop at exactly that time. I dun really know how they do it, can anyone give some thoughts? XD

wich NM are you reffering to?

And it IS possible to predict when a NM is about to POP or should POP by killing its Place Holder (s).

Or like spook,it pops 100% between 20:00 and 21:00

I believe he means that they knew exact pop time not guessing based on factors, as I was once in castle Otroja camping the nms there with a friend and some ppl there kept getting every claim which sucked. I was talking to one of the other campers there and they said they kept messing with her buy telling her the exact in-game time they would hit flee and claim the nm, just to cruley torture her . Well 2 of the times she relayed that info to me and sure enough both time flee was hit by all 4 members at the exact time and NM was claimed. It was not a guess either it was fairly random in game time like 10:42 or something and like 5:31 the next and I was told at least 15-20 min before it popped what time it would. There must be some way to know exact pop time I left after i found this out as with a simple radar I had no chance against this Like I said this was all about 1-2 months ago.

NMs like King Behemoth, Aspi, adamantoise, fafnir, nidhog are all 21-24 hours and have 30 mins inbetween so 21:30 22:00 22:30 and so on.

There was a bit of gosip floating arround on the ac tools forum, and a few other forums, about an advanced japanese farming bot that had the ability to detect spawn times and exact spawn locations; However, I have never seen concrete proof of this being true. According to many critics, the program is an advanced packet sniffer, but I do not know much about that stuff so you will have to research it yourself and come to your own conclusions.

for nms with a place holder just look at the place holders spawn time. for example Mee Degi the Punisher has place holders with a 5 game hour spawn time +- 5 min. he is however a lot harder to camp now because he does not only spawn on the little island anymore.

Just watch teh movie and go /shocked, some Pretty advanced bot using packet sniffers tho. /are you guys able to make one of these if so imma become a member of your website imediatelly .

oo big whoop he used warper nothing new

You dont need any hacks to be able to do that, what iifuzz said is correct. That is how you can get spawn time down to seconds accuracy. There is no program that I know of that can do it for you.

Some elite Jp players have it i think.. at least in my server >.>.

ya mine and elements server is seriously messed up stupid gilsellers / JPN NM campers

If I recall there is something on a webpage that refreashes evrtyime a nm pop (there were different section). Like it was in japanse I couldn't read it. I will give ya heads up if I find it again. If you also want to know exact pop rate for a mon get ToD and then find out what's is spawn interval is.

Guessing the pop time of some NMs is very possible. Like in Castle Oztroja for Mee Deggi. After the death of the last pop, wait about 45 min. (real time)Then find the placeholder which will be an Interloper or Drummer, I believe, that walks around the whole campsite, and in the water- unlike the other yags around the campsite. Kill him (but not before 45 min since last Mee death). After you kill the placeholder, there is a chance the NM will pop 5.15 game hours afterwards. If Mee doesnt pop, another PH will, kill the PH again and wait another 5.15 game hours for the next pop window. Rinse repeat.

(its been a while since i camped this mob, i could be wrong about the times, but the method is sound and the same applies to Quu on the other side of Oztroja)

You just add 5 hours game time from when the mob's pixel disappears.
