Field Boss Spawn Times

• Kaeporo wrote on 2013-06-29 23:01
  I've compiled the spawn times for the Iria Field Bosses in a handy Google document. The top chart lists the times a specific boss spawns while the bottom chart tells you when the next boss spawns.
  
  It's handy if you want to field boss.

  Judging by the black dragon - all EST.

  Very cool, this could come in handy. However, is it possible that Giant Long Horn Gnu's can be included as well? Or is that data unavailable/inconsistent?

  I wonder if it's possible to make some sort of simple tool that counts down to these times for every boss every day.

  That field boss' time is still random, so pretty hard to determine.

  Oh this is neato.
  
  I didn't know that EVERY Iria Raid boss was now on a set schedule.
  
  Cooool, thanks for this.

  Oh by the way, you have Mammoth listed twice and are missing its 2nd time. (Just sayin')
  
  There are more times that remain undiscovered, one of my guildies apparently ran into a Prairie Dragon way outside my own charts yesterday.
  
  PS: Field bosses don't spawn at the very start of the hour, but randomly withing 1-2 hours after that, depending on the day, in case some people didn't know or think the times are wrong.

  I'm having trouble with the spawn times of the prairie dragon, and this seems like the best place to bring it up.
  :tea:
  
  Kaeporo, your spreadsheet lists the weekday spawn time of the Prairie Dragon as 17:00 EST? or 14:00 PST.
  Snowie's chart lists the spawn time as 14:00~16:00.
  Mabidata lists the spawn time as 14:00~16:00.
  and the MWW lists the spawn time for the Prairie Dragon as 14:00~16:00.
  
  So everyone's in agreement.
  
  
  
  
  Completely contradictory to every single one of these, the prairie dragon has spawned anywhere from 12:00 to 20:00.
  :fail3:
  
  
  These are the times (in PST) that I saw the Prairie Dragon spawn on Tarlach, July 4th:
  I can provide a screenshot for every single one of these times with a visible clock if necessary.
  Channel 1: 18:11
  Channel 2: 18:46
  Channel 3: 19:11
  Channel 4: -Never saw-
  Channel 5: 12:44
  Channel 6: 13:26
  Channel 7: 19:27
  
  At first I thought it may be, oddly enough, spawning twice in the day, around noon and around 18:00~19:00. However, channels 5 and 6 did not respawn, nor did I see an earlier spawn on any of the channels it spawned on later. I would be willing to believe I had missed it spawning in the morning, however from sometime after 14:00 to the current time now - 22:30 - I have been constantly channel hopping the spawn, and I'm sure I have not missed any later spawns.
  
  I reported that on the Nexon forums, believing the spawn times might be off, but was informed there was nothing wrong with them.
  
  Can anyone clarify the real range of time or times that the Prairie Dragon can spawn within? Or offer any other insight?
  Am I misunderstanding something?

  I've updated the chart. You can now toggle between EST and PST by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the page.

  Looks good so far, I'm guessing the times listed are all the times at which the stated field boss "could" spawn?

  In my experience, every boss except for the Prairie Dragon spawns on all channels within a period of 1~3 hours. Or, in other words, you can pretty much live by the schedule and expect to fight 7 of every field boss every weekday between the times given for that particular boss. It's not a "possibility" so much as a "certainty".
  
  Except the Prairie Dragon. I am still waiting for someone to explain that one to me.

  Okay. So, if anyone cares. This is the chart from gameabout. With my cute purple words under it to tell what's what.

  The times seem accurate for us.

  lmao the prairie dragon for weekdays D:
  he just spawns whenever he feels like doesn't he
  
  
  seems to be easier to find EVERY boss on weekends, though

  Okay, so. I hate field bossing.
  
  
  Since the charts around here (gosh there are so many) are bound to cause confusion, let me just go ahead and say:
  Every chart you see for field boss spawns in NA is going to be at least partially wrong
  
  I'm not saying this to offend anyone who has spent a great deal of time working on their charts, but it's true.
  
  First off, many charts floating around, from the ones in this thread to the one on the mabinogi world wiki, still list the Prairie Dragon as spawning within a set period of time each weekday. That is incorrect. It is an all day spawn.
  Many charts also list weekday spawns as taking place within 2-hour periods. That is also generally incorrect.
  Many of the spawns appear to happen within a 3-hour period.
  
  So far, I think the most accurate chart we have would be the above one, from GameAbout.
  
  It is also incorrect.
  
  It is missing the second weekend spawn time for the Mammoth, (which I'm reasonably sure exists), and the spawn times it gives for the Black, (and of course White) dragon are completely wrong for our servers. Those spawn times are available on the NA Mabi website here. There may or may not be minor flaws with the timing for the other bosses.
  
  Maybe one day we'll have a perfect chart.
