    Ix'loldrk

    Myself and two other friends have been low manning sea for the past week. I was wondering what if any respawn there is for Ix'drk the first night we popped him killed him went and did a mnk came back and he popped second set of mobs. Anyone have any info on respawn time or is it just painfully random?

    Temperance, Ix'drk and Ix'drg can all pop back to back. Might have a 15min cooldown to let the "???" repop or something.

    Hmm

    Then why are there times where we go hours between popping him?

    Its "random"..

    Thats one thing that is annoys me when I hear people talk about probability and crap regarding ffxi.

    I think FFXI developers think if they give something a "2%" chance of happening on average it will happen every 50 times which doesn't seem that bad on the surface.

    It probably has a 2% chance or something to "spawn" each time you kill a Aern but that doesn't mean its going to "spawn" every 50 Aerns you kill or anything close to that.

    It could spawn back to back 10 times in a row or not spawn after years of killing.. It is random. This sort of thing makes casinos billions of dollars because when someone sees the roulette wheel come up odd 5 times in a row they are 100% sure it will be even the next spin..

    I think FFXI might be a little more "fun" for the casual player if FFXI used a random number generator with more distributed results for this sort of thing.

    Ix'DRK usually pops within 2 hours tops for us...

    Ix'DRG on the other hand....sometimes didn't see him for 5 or 6 hours a day for a couple days in a row ... Alliance EXP ftw...

    And temperance....screw you for making us have to walk to the far away towers and not popping at the close ones right away

    we've been pretty lucky with our ix'drk spwns, about an hour and we can pop it, we have an alliance though so we sweep through the aerns in the room pretty fast, haven't tried ix'drg spwn time though =/

    Weve been camping Ix Drg like mad lately this past week and been averaging 1-2 each day, hes been popping really fast pretty much everyday, one for example just yesterday, went there and had 30 mins to try to pop him, 4th Aern killed and he popped. Overall id say its random but not to hard if you go room to room and just kill them quick....guess its all just luck though.

    We've had a few days where Ix'DRG has popped within first 3 Aerns in a single room....but some other days with no peep from him clearing all 4 rooms for 5 hours or more..
