Does KA have windows?

[Wizrow]

I've always thought that the knight crabs spawned on a 30th minutes from 21-24, kinda like fafnir.

It seems that I may have been wrong this entire time.

[Churchill]

Just waiting for crabs is easiest imo.

[Weeks]

No, and it's not 21-24. It's 21-24.5 at least.

Edit: nvm, lol

they are 30 minute windows, stop over analyzing

subtract 3 hours from the TOD, add 5 minutes and then 30 minute intervals like fafnir, example: dies at 20:00, opens at 17:05 and ends at 20:05 with a window every 30 minutes. I camp KA nearly every day and its never spawned outside of this system, pretty sure its always been like this, just people who knew about it didn't broadcast it

Since the cat's out of the bag, it's been like this since at least spring of 2005.

I believe it is over 3hr though, 3hr 30 maybe, only seen it happen once and might have been an estimate ToD though.

[SassiAsura]

No it does exceed 3hours.

On that note, are other (h)nms like this as well? Sim/Roc/..etc?

does not exceed 3 hours....

Rob is correct it just seems like it because people are idiots

[Weeks]

You are an idiot. Crabs have popped right at 24 hours and 30 minutes from ToD once for me, and several times at 24 hours and 5 to 15 minutes.

...It has popped past ToD plenty of times, I think the idiots are the ones that think it doesn't.

[Suiram]

Yeah, 5 minutes past the ToD...

[Mertron]

I've only camped it a handful of times but one time I saw it pop around 15 minutes after the ToD from the previous day. Might be a rarity but its possible to go past its window.

Though I dont really care if KA has windows tbh, I usually read or something until I hear people smacking crabs.

[shaitan]

the only reason that it pops after TOD is because you have to kill knight crabs to pop it .... knight crabs (which is the KA pop for each window) will never go beyond 21-24 hours just because it takes people 20 minutes to kill crabs and then 10 seconds for KA to pop does not make it a 21-24.5 hour window but thank you for playing

That explains it, stupid fuckers used to hold Knights when I used to camp.

[Weeks]

For christ's sake, camping KA a half-dozen times does not make you the fucking final authority on this matter. Knight Crabs have first popped over 24 hours from King Arthro's death many times. If you're still fighting this, you either need to camp him more often or figure out how to use your fucking clock.

When we camped KA we would TOD when KA died. Seeing how KA dies well after the knight crabs pop and die, your math goes the wrong way, because I've still seen it pop past 24 hours and at least ten minutes (as I said before, closer to 15 minutes) after KA's TOD, with no bearing on the Knight Crabs.

Thanks for playing?

(I'm not debating if its the knight crabs that dictate window, because I don't know, also dont care since I just afk til I hear people fighting them. Just saying that regardless, yeah its possible for him to pop past 24 hours regardless of what event starts his window)

[Undeadhunter]

after camping KA for a year EVERY DAY
I can say with 100% certainty the knight crabs can pop untill 24h30 after ToD

[Starr]

Yeah being completely honest with myself it's 24:30, I'm just trying to remember if I've ever seen it pop at 21hr or if the earliest I've seen it was 21:30.
