  all the iria field bosses except for giant alligator,giant lion prarie dragon and neid spawns 12 hours after maintience in all channels more or less

  
  
  Just for the record, this is incorrect.

  @_@ So my first question stands: How do you know which channel the first pop will be on? Second pop? Etc.

  Each channel has it's own first pop, second pop, etc. All channels boss times are completely unaffected and unrelated to the times on separate channels.

  Justified just said that's incorrect. :what:

  No, he just said first pop isn't 12 hrs. Which it isn't.

  As with everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with exactly what channel some of the "lesser" field bosses spawn.
  
  For example, I'm looking for Neid, and I see that the 2ndPOP interval is 30 hours, but what's with the "conditions"? It seems like it's saying the time interval is 30 hours for both when the time is less than 12:00:00 and greater than 12:00:00.
  
  So basically, if the last Neid Spawn was 23 hours ago, I should expect another spawn in 7 hours, but on what channel? Is there a definite pattern?
  
  Oh, and this is for Tarlach if that helps =x
  
  EDIT: So I did a rough calculation, and I concluded that Neid will spawn about 11 hours from now, ignoring what channel it can spawn, using Yukitsuki, and the 30 hour interval. Am I correct with this assumption?

  I really have no clue; you could try sending Yuki a PM on MM. He/She knows the calcs to everything since a side project of MabiMessage is a field boss timer.

  No.
  
  What it means is if the interval is less than 12 hrs, you add 30hrs to that interval to get the next spawn time. So if the first spawn is 4hrs after maint, then the second will be 34 hrs after first spawn.
  But, if the interval is greater than 12 hrs, but less than 30hrs... it just becomes 30hrs. So if the first spawn is 14 hrs after maint, the second will be 30hrs after that.
  
  To clarify more specifically, this line:
  
  * But Now IntervalTime <12:00:00 Now IntervalTime + = In the case of 30 hours (condition 1)
  
  "+ =" is an operator indicating you add the time. In this case you add 30hrs.

  Thank you for clearing that up x3
  Now if only I can calculate what channel it spawns on OTL

  Each ch is independent... So you have to calculate it for each one. So basically, go camp one ch right after maint til it spawns, and then you have the interval.
