Mad Bomber data collection

[mackerel]

I didn't want to clutter the Bhaflau thread with this, but it needs to be done.

One proposed theory is that mad bomber pops on a side of Bhaflau depending on game day. Should be easy to prove one way or another.

[Edited on request]
Please post the day you entered Bhaflau, the moon phase and %, the direction you took, the time (and day, if different than entry) when you opened the first door, and whether Mad Bomber popped or not.

example: firesday 98% full moon, west door opened 11:30, no mad bomber

Interesting... Although you probably want to add in a little more data than that on the off chance that it is something else like moon phase. (Not saying it is, just being thorough.)

[Faranim]

RNG says that the mobs don't show up on widescan until you open the East/West door. The Day/Time you open the door might also have something to do with it.

[Isildur]

Out of about 6 runs going East: 5/6

Out of 3 runs going West: 1/3

havent taken down moon phase / day / time though =/

[Sady]

Entered early on iceday waning moon 86%. Took the west path.
Madbomber pop in the NW room (G-8).

[Arthars]

taken note on some salvage

Lights day entry: NM at SW
Darks day entry: NM at NW

[Sagacious Sundi]

Not really basing this on anything, just throwing something out so people have something to test, so there's no point in criticizing it:

Maybe whether it spawns on the west or east path is based on whether the day is a classical element (Fire/Earth/Water/Wind) or Ice/Lightning/Light/Darkness. Possibility:
West: Non-classicals (ILLD)
East: Classical eles (FEWW)

And then maybe whether it spawns north or south is based on whether the current day is of a light element (Fire/Wind/Lightning/Light) or a dark element (Earth/Water/Ice/Darkness). Example:
South: Light (FWLL)
North: Darkness (EWID)

So, it would look something like this:
Firesday: SE
Earthsday: NE
Watersday: NE
Windsday: SE
Iceday: NW
Lightningsday: SW
Lightsday: SW
Darksday: NW

Just throwing it out so people have something to test (and cross out as a possibility if it's wrong, which it probably is).

[Suiram]

Entered sometime between 0:00 and 1:00 on iceday. I forget the moon but it's whatever comes a day before 21% waxing crescent. West path (wamoura/armor) no Mad Bomber.

[safer]

earthsday 12% waxing cresent

west side madbomber up in the southwest room

[mackerel]

We now have 2 reports for iceday west path, one with and one without mad bomber. Day alone is not the trigger.

[Myria]

fireday,. waxing gibbeus 67% west side, no pop

[tymora]

12% Earthsday - no pop on West
19% Iceday - no pop on West

[Khamsin]

Windsday west side no pop

Moon was... uh, Waxing Gibbous 70-something. Right now its Lightningsday 79%, so..

Windsday 7_% <-- whatever this is
Iceday 7_%
Lightningsday 79%

[Almalexia]

Iceday, 76% Waxing Gibbous. Popped on west.

[Khamsin]

So...

86% Iceday, it pops west side
76% Iceday, it pops west side
19% Iceday, no pop west side (Suiram's and Tymora's are the same run)

75% Windsday, no pop west side

98% Firesday, no pop west side
67% Firesday, no pop west side

12% Earthsday, it pops on west side
12% Earthsday, no pop west side

[Arthars]

going more indepth now

95% lightning day, 14 people Pop NW

and 8 people popped on darks day NW before too

[Uzor]

should include waxing/crescent (sp?). For all we now, above 50% waxing it pops west, and over 50% crescent it pops east.

Could be something like:
over 50% waxing, pops west
over 50% crescent, it pops east
under 50% waxing, it pops east
under 50% creascent, it pops west.

Iunno, just a guess.

[safer]

im gonna have to pull back my data i submitted regarding 12% waxing cresent earthsday

looking back at my notes and talking with someone... there is a chance we entered just before earthsday started and i noted entry late (the point at which i clicked to enter salvage)

so im not sure anymore

Then it'd be:

98% Firesday, no pop west side
67% Firesday, no pop west side
10% Firesday, it pops on west side

12% Earthsday, no pop west side

__% Watersday, ______________

75% Windsday, no pop west side

86% Iceday, it pops west side
76% Iceday, it pops west side
19% Iceday, no pop west side

95% Lightningsday, it pops west side

__% Lightsday, ______________

__% Darksday, ______________

[Almalexia]

should include waxing/crescent (sp?). For all we now, above 50% waxing it pops west, and over 50% crescent it pops east.

Crescent is always between New and Quarter.

New (10-0-5%) > Waxing Crescent (6-39%) > First Quarter (40-56%) > Waxing Gibbous (57-89%) > Full (90-100-94%) > Waning Gibbous (93-61%) > Last Quarter (60-44%) > Waning Crescent (43-11%) > New (10-0-5%)
