NM spawns after Maintenance?

[Donkylips]

How does this work? Does the spawn timer reset after sever maintenance? I was camping Argus and know what time it was last killed but will my timer be off once the servers are back up? Any help appreciated:confused:

I think, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but when the servers come back up, the spawn 'window' is open. So, they are able to start spawning from that point on. But they won't suddenly be there as soon as the server comes up.

Thx Lily..So say The NM has a 20-24 hrs spawn, Does that mean within 4 hrs after server up it will spawn or 20-24? lol I'm sorry forgive my ignorance plz;

Argus is a funny one.. i camped him twice after maint and he never spawned either time

Thats odd after the past few maintenances Agrus was a 2hr pop, too bad I had no chance, there were seriously 30 people there. I was half way through a Dia cast when it was claimed by a blm with Stun.. O.o

I used to log out before a maitanence like this in hopes of logging in and finding the nm. I don't do that anymore. Failed one too many times. :sweat:

The 21-24 hour spawn NMs will spawn in 0-3 hours when the servers go up thats how it always works.

there's different kinds of NM spawns

window, no placeholder
window is open when server restarts. 21-24 hour window means you could still be waiting 3 hours after server restarts
example: serket, behemoth

window, placeholder lottery
window is open when server restarts. however, spawn is triggered by re-spawning a dead placeholder
example: hoo mjoo, aquarius, amemet

placeholder lottery
same as always
example: tom tit tat

no window (automatic spawn)
will be up when server restarts
example: stroper chyme

triggered
same as always
example: dark spark, bubbly bernie, cancer
