Odqan!
Well, I'm planning on taking on this NM...well until I get my Bravo's Subligar, which will probably be awhile. But wiki words it like this;

Quote:
Odqan is a lottery spawn of Atomic Cluster, both of which can only spawn during foggy weather
I looked up foggy weather, and it works like so;

Quote:
"foggy" - the fog weather condition can only happen in absence of other weather.
Okay so, I understand most of this...but like, I don't quite understand how I'll ever know when there is foggy weather. I just wait to see the Clusters spawn? Or how exactly does it work? D:

Does anyone have any other information on this NM? I'd like to have a fair chance at grabbing this NM, because I really want to have a Bravo's Subligar for part of my THF's DD equips.




Thanks to Roguewolf for the sig. :D

Re: Odqan!
Sometimes it's not very noticeable, but when there's foggy weather, it does get foggier. I've camped this NM a lot and it does usually look like it's foggy a lot, which is misleading, but it does get thicker when it is actual fog weather.

Also, it helps to know that even after the weather icon disappears there are still some of the weather effects. Fog cannot appear while there is weather or if the weather effects are still there.

What I did was sub rng and check widescan whenever I thought it was foggy, helped find which spawn point Odqan was at as well.

EDIT: That first quote from wiki is wrong. Odqan will always pop in fog weather unless he was killed the previous day.

Re: Odqan!
Well if there's a weather effect, there would be an icon above the compass on the left hand side of the screen. It only occurs during certain hours as well, I believe early morning, like 7:00 to 9:00? So if there is no weather icon (water, thunder, wind et cetera) and it's between the correct hours, then it's foggy weather. And you'll also note the clusters spawning.

In regards to the NM, I don't know much about it sadly. Good luck hunting it down. I hate waiting for foggy weather, you have less than 5 minutes of foggy weather each Vanadiel day and only in the absecne of other weather. Good luck.

Re: Odqan!
Oh, the time. Forgot about that, thanks. From my experience the earliest fog can appear is 1:00 and the latest was about 6:30. Fog will always disappear at or around 7:00.
Also, so you don't have to learn this the hard way like I did: Never use Hide or any ability that makes you lose hate while fighting him. If it turns out fog is gone when you do that, he'll instantly disappear.

Alright, thanks a lot guys, I'll start camping him in those time periods, and hopefully I'll have a chance to get him sometime in the near future instead of well...never, like I had thought. :D

Re: Odqan!
Yea, I've been having bad luck this morning...I've seen him pop twice yesterday, but wasn't able to get claim cause I didn't have /rng on. :x And yea, this morning, I had...Dark weather -> Lightning Storm -> Wind -> Lightning again...all during the time when fog would've happened. =/ I won't give up yet though. :D
