Does Yael have variance?

[fastboy21]

You really think the folks who lock him down are going to tell you that he has an exact spawn timer? Why don't you just ask them for the exact spawn time...

[bktroost]

I already have the exact spawn time. I have spawn times for every important mob...that information is less private than people think and far easier to get than people realize. This game isn't new, anyone who really cares about that can get it. Secrets are hardly secrets in EQ.

I have a guess at his variance table, but I was wondering if anyone, for the sake of academics, actually kept logs and compiled the information. Watching his spawn times from past logs and seeing what the maximum variance has been. My logs dump previous spawn windows unfortunately, so I don't have this data.

@Nemce - I think I figured out it was +- 4 hours so around 8 hours of variance

But it might be more, however he does have variance

Thank Eratani, my logs show nothing more than +-3 hours. If you asked me before this post, I'd have said 6 max variance.

See, that's how you share data. Nothing crucial was given away and the server just benefited from some neat info. If we can verify it through some testing then we could even put it on the Wiki!

How did we survive without the Wiki in 1999?

Yeah, thanks for sharing. I think this is one of the silliest things in the world to be proprietary about. FTE and kill timers makes sense, but basic mechanics of a mob is silly.

Allakhazams, Caster's Realm etc. There was plenty of information if you knew where to look [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

have you read some of the info on those sites???

I have no idea how Dald pulls anything useful from the majority of the comments- most are utter shit

/waves Thulack - I hope ur still gonna host fantasy football

That's true. Didn't Allakhazam require a subscription or something for detailed information?

Eventually yes. But at the start it was free. But all that really did was make you search the site a bit more because it would no longer let you search with filters and stuff if you werent a premium member.

i lived on that side back in the day. That and Casters Realm.

Being that a huge majority of 3-day mobs with variance have a 12-hour variance, and Yael just spawned somewhere around 5-6 hours ahead of his 3-day static spawn time, I'm thinking it's 12 hours of variance (+/- 6 hours). Wouldn't make sense to throw in some arbitrary number like 6 (+/- 3) or 8 (+/- 4) hours.
