    Wyrm Repop following maintenance

    I apologize as I seem to have seen a similar post but dont recall anyone having confirmed an exact time.

    On the CoP wyrms (Vrtra, Tiamat, Jormungand), When exactly will they repop after a maintenance?

    Also, I have heard various rumors as to their normal pop time. I have heard 3-5 Days, 3-7 Days and 3 Day lottery. I guess this is hard to say exactly, but what do most of you think?

    Thanks

    Fafnir will spawn in that respective wyrm's place at 21-24 intervals.

    Don't be silly. Everyone knows Tiamat is lottery off of corses. Jormungand is lottery off of buffalo. And Vrtra is lottery off of bone mages.

    You need to force spawn them by wiping a lvl 75 drg to corses, bombs, and mage skeletons respectively




    They can be up after server reset, they start on their 4th day.

    CoP Wyrms are a 3-7 day repop; when maintenance ends you are automatically 3 days in to pop cycles, so Tiamat can pop immediately after maintenance, but can also take up to 4 days to spawn.

    hmm..

    So each day is there a small window it can pop in? Or once third day is up can it pop at any time? 5 hour pop after maintenance would suggest the latter..

    Also, many state the day of maintenance = 4th day for HQ.

    And I have heard alot of people state King pops 7th day are 100%, but I've seen KB take 12 days before. Every placeheld mob in the game seems to be a progressive lottery pop, which leads me to believe there is likely no "100% day" on Kings. Since wyrms are not placeheld I'm not sure how that works.

    Wyrms have no window per day from what i've seen, totally random. Maybe it's 48 half-hour windows per day but who knows.

    Never such a thing as 100% king days (unless you aren't the claiming LS, then it's pretty close to 100%). Alot of people say alot of things, I've seen two 11-day Nidhoggs in the past couple months so nothing surprises me anymore.

    Wyrms can pop any time during the 3-7 day window ... there is no certain time within that window that it will spawn each time. I don't know if there are 30 minute pop windows like with the kings, but I don't think there are ... then again, I don't have the patience to sit through a 4 day pop window to find out.

    The kings are lottery, and like with every other lottery in the game, there is never a 100% chance. The lottery starts on a certain day (or in the case of lesser NMs, hour), and pop seems to become more likely as time goes on, but it never actually reaches 100%.

    When servers come up, it is like it is day '3' with almost anything. HQ Ground Gods like Nidhogg/KB/Aspi can spawn the day after; NQ Beastmen Gods can spawn the day after; Tiamat/Jormungand/Vrtra can spawn that day.

    Actually the secret is to find a one legged hobo and make him do the Truffle Shuffle
