I am new with Big HNM pop time. I heard they had the window for each minute. Anyone can explain it to me ? Thanks a lot .

they have a window every 30 mins. i forget how long the window is. this is only for the kings really. stuff like serket and roc if you count those as big hnm can pop anytime in the 3 hour window from last tod -3hrs

the windows last 30secs each

So you saying that after 30 min , there will be 30 sec for the next window ?

There is a chance that during the 30 secs it will pop, then wait for 30 mins till next window. I think.

we do a lot of behemoth/king behemoth, aspido/admantoise, faf/nidhogg, and other hmn campings. Once their respective spawn windows open up, they have pop times that last anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the HNM.

Example: Say the HNM died at 1635 and its respawn window is 21-24 hours later with 3 minute pop windows. Its next windows would be --

1335-1338 -- 21hrs later (window #1)
1405-1408 -- window #2
1435-1438 -- window #3
1505-1508 -- window #4
1535-1508 -- window #5
1605-1608 -- window #6
1635-1638 -- 24hrs later (window #7 - final window)

If you don't have the exact time of death, just wait until a bunch of people camping all start using stoneskin, blink, and other buffs. Gives it away everytime. You won't know the exact time but you will be pretty close.

Remember that when you use the "/clock on" function, the time given is based off your PC to the time servers (like time.windows.com or whatever is use by your PC) speeds. I have seen people have about 60 seconds +/- time from others in the LS. So I would add another minute to each end of the window just incase

Information about the 30 mins window and the amount of windows (7 spawn periods) is correct hence summing up to a grand total of 3 hours starting 21 hours after it's been killed.

*However* the 3 minutes timer into the window is not true for the 3 earth kings (NQ and HQ). It's one minute. gl!

Actually, this is not true. If the NM is 21-24hr spawn, the windows will start after 21 hours and are every 30 mins. Every 30 minutes, the NM has a chance to pop. There isnt a 30 second, 3 minute window or w/e. It is like 1 second.. Unless your ToD is wrong. My LS tests this alot, and we have someone count down When he hits 0 it either pops or it doesnt. Its always 100% exact though.

that is also slightly incorrect. it has been tested quite a few times and its been that only the kings (behemoth, fafhog, aspidwhatistherestofhisname) have the every 30 min timer

Just want to be clear about the 30 seconds. Does the 30 second window begin at the 30 minute offset? Or before?

Use this as an example:
Let's say the previous day's Fafnir depopped at 15:15:00
That would mean that the first "window" would be at 12:15:00
Is the 30 second window at 12:15:00-12:15:30 or 12:14:45-12:15:15? Or something else?
