    We have had no luck for 2 weeks in a row either. Caitsith server here. If they changed something, fine. But I am pretty sure it's bugged on some servers anyway, since I have seen reports from people actually able to spawn it with the new conditions...

    This is driving me nuts -_-

    Alot of PLD's do EXP off statues using earth staff..... whats the deal with you guys?

    Also anybody who actually plays the game knows that it can take severial hours before a GM gets back to you, so you wouldnt waste your time staying in 1 spot and go do something else(in this case exp or more pop items).

    We haven't been able to pop him either.. he's been basically MIA for every LS on the server going on weeks now. /sigh. Guess we won't be doing anymore Seiryus for a while. GMs are of course, absolutely zero help.

    anyone tried killing the dustbusters to see if the made SC a placeholder mob? we tried it for like 20 minutes and didn't get anything was wondering if anyone else may have tried it for a bit longer.

    this thing is starting to piss me off though. we got rangers who need Kotes and paladins who need koeing helmets >.>

    I know it didnt help to solve how to pop it, but now you know that the way it used to be has changed. That was all that I could find. v.v

    We have popped Steam Cleaner twice in the past couple weeks using the same techniques as before, agro a detector and pull it to zone, if its not Steam Cleaner zone out, then zone back in, repeat until Steam Cleaner pops. When we spend more than 30 minutes at an entrance and there is no pop we move to another entrance. 2 days ago it popped on the first agro'd Detector. This is on Asura server.

    Well, we usually sleep the detector and kill the caretaker...or just have someone tank the detector until he re-summons. We have never (atleast when I'm there) zoned if the detector popped a caretaker. We'll give that a shot I guess. =\

    So you saying killing a Caretaker minimizes a chance of poping SC? It has to despawn on it's own?

    We have 1 person zone in the area, agro the Detector and pull it to zone, the rest of the group waits outside. If the Detector spawns a Caretaker the 1 person zones out then goes back in a minute or two later after it will have despawned, if it spawns Steam Cleaner the rest of the group zones in and claims/kills it.

    I can't say at all if this effects the popping of Steam Cleaner in any way, we have just been using this method for a while now as its safer (don't have to worry about lag or afk people missing a Stun and getting your group blown up), and it has continued to allow us to pop Steam Cleaner as we have been for a while now.

    There are 8-10 different NA linkshells on Asura camping and farming sky every day now so we tend to only go after pop items we need to complete seals for Kirin sets so its only once a week we try and pop Steam Cleaner usually, not a large set of data to try and draw any conclusions from, but this method still works fine for us on Asura.

    I have no idea if the killing of Caretakers actually lessens the chance of making Steam Cleaner spawn, but maybe some linkshells that hadn't used this method before might want to give it a try. It could simply be complete luck that we have continued to get it to spawn or it could actually have been changed to something dealing with the Caretakers, I really couldn't say for certain.
