Almighty Apkallu

[SeraphusRagnarok]

Almighty Apkallu can only be popped when you ride the boat while there are 5 people (one of each race) activating each respective Ebon Panel simultaneously with jailer weapons,Nidhogg Scales, and Doll Gizmos in their inventories with exactly 45% HP and 32% MP on Wind Day, Waning Gibbious 42% at 12:53 in November on an odd numbered year.

Almighty Apkallu (0103B0011)

Type-o in that number. is he 0103B001 (which is the first mob in your list), or 0103B011 (which would be the last mob in the list but is all 00).

Honestly I have no idea what the list means, just want to make sure your looking at the correct entry.

Oops, yeah, meant 0103B011, the last one in the list that's actually blank.

The mob IDs are the same as the ones seen in POLUtils for the mobs in the zone, only with their nibbles reversed (POLUtils calls it 11B00301).

The list is basically in the form:

01 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00 | 02 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00
03 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00 | 04 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00
05 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00 | 06 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00
etc.

where if a mob has been popped before, you will see ## 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00, but if a mob hasn't, you will only see 00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00. e.g.

01 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00 | 02 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 | 04 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00
05 03 B0 01 | 0F 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00

this example would suggest mob's 1, 2, 4 and 5 have popped, but 3 and 6 haven't.

Maybe it pop only when you arent looking in his direction, like the ghost in mario. That would explain why no one ever saw it.
I'm half serious tho. Is it possible the NM is "shy" and will only pop when everyone stay downstair in the boat? They could easily make a proximity trigger, or something like opening the door prevent it to pop

[edit]
Nvm, stupid idea. It would have been detected on every memory scan if it was the condition.

that's not to say it's not a dual condition of staying below deck AND having a PC on the boat. no sense in spawning no mobs for no players. still, i think the theory's a stretch, but so is throwing a newt into the damn goblin drink. ^^

All right, to maybe disprove a few theories... My friend and I (Gilean) rode the boat back and forth for 12 hours one day. We took both boats, and I had a RDM (I was 2boxing) and he had an actual RDM with him. We tried not killing the apkallus, killing them asap, following them, slapping, and even a crazy theory of if the apkallus depopped on wind weather, 30 secs later AA would pop. Near the end right before we gave it up, he said that Proteus popped and killed him while killing a crab. As he lay dead on the ship, AA popped (supposedly, I still don't believe him to this day). Maybe a couple of months later, I decimated DC-EP apkallus with a NIN 'till they used the TP move after frigid shuffle, I cannot remember the name, and our damage was halfed. I camped for several hours with no luck, but with some hilarity as Proteus popped and a JP pt tried to kill and died horribly. Sorry if any of this has been a repost, and hopefully this helps.

i would call BS on your friend for the simple fact that proteus spawns going towards nashmau and AA spawns (supposedly!) on the way back. since they're different zones, they have different dat files, and proteus is in only one while AA is in only the other. if he were lying dead from a proteus attack, he had to have been going north towards rodentville and could not have been on the right boat for it to pop.

So...
Ferry NM pops?
Silverhook <---> Blackbeard : Proteus <-------> Almighty Apkallu?

Odds on AA's spawn timer being inexplicably broken?

Yeah, anybody who can check the DATs can attest to the fact that Proteus and Almighty Apkallu pop in different zones

i don't know if you're refering to the apkallu on the ship, but if you're 75, the apkallu on the boat cannot be DC. And the chances of them being EP are very slim too. Out of all the trips i've taken, only 1 apkallu has ever given me exp.

(also about being on deck, i've taken the ride twice from below deck with wireframe on, and it never popped)

[Eander]

I can also attest that laying dead on the deck does nothing. I was dicking around on the boat earlier killing one of the sea monks and lagged out. By the time my connection calmed down I was dead. I laid on the deck for over 75% of the ride, and still no AA.

I rode the boat last night when I was checking memory for stuff, and the apkallu I killed gave me xp. It wasn't much, but it must have been at least EP. I didn't bother to /check. I just remember getting xp. Could have just been luck.

[Dystopia]

Adding a quick observation here.

1. It's popped on some servers and not on others according to that program. Since there was a maintenance, doesn't that mean that if it were a timed pop it would have forced it to pop on every server?

2. If it is the case that a timed pop would have been forced by a maintenance and it doesn't appear to have happened on every server then there must be some other condition besides 21-24 hour pop during wind weather or something.

3. If it does have a second condition to pop that is not just time related, i.e fishing it up, then the servers that have seen it have had someone meet said condition. So either this person had no idea what they were doing and never tried again or they are keeping the secret to themselves. If they are keeping the secret to themselves i think we would have seen a cape or some other drop floating around at this point.

4.Also if it is a player met condition then someone must have seen it at some point by now since we know it has popped before.

5.If its not a player met condition then there is no explanation as to why it has popped on some servers and not on others. At least not that I can think of.

edit: I did think of one. If it does involve the AC then this might explain why it has popped on some and not on others. Then the conditions are not player based and it could have popped while no one was on the boat.

Idk wth to think. Guess i'll have to test out my almighty lvl 37 fishing skill with a bunch of diff bait.

yeah i got 15exp one time, but all others have yielded nothing.

something else interested i just discovered, the 1st apkallu just appeared for me 5 times in a row ( i didn't kill, i held it each time til the boat completely docked). in a few, i'm going to write up all the things that i've tried so far as like a summary

[KillerPLD]

I killed the EP-DC Apkallus (They may be only EPs in Mt. Z). We also tried riding the boat constantly back to whitegate by using tons of cudgels. We got nothing out of that either.

[Indalecia]

Would suck if this thing operated on the Kreutzet principle.

[Epical]

People keep trying to just see it pop randomly on the ride back and 128745182 people have figured out that's NOT the pop conditions. You're wasting your time!

[Khamsin]

So, supposedly it has popped on Bismarck, but not Unicorn or Pandemonium.

Also, there are two Apkallus in the .dats, Apkallu #7 and #8 (technically, 0103B007 and 0103B008 in POLUtils). #7 has never popped on Pandemonium, but #8 has. That's the one that jumps up on deck sometimes.

On Bismarck, where Almighty Apkallu has popped, has Apkallu #7 also popped?

[Mertron]

I rode the boat from nash>whitegate a few times last night, no pop. I do not have much apkallu hate, if at all.

I went with a "no touching the apkallus" gameplan when I rode the boat. Something I did notice that was weird though, is that sometimes for no reason the apkallus on the boat would depop for no reason while I was on the boat. Not a day/night thing, one time it depopped was at 1:00 am game time, the other time it was around 12:00pm game time. Not really used to seeing unclaimed mobs depop for no reason really, curious if I had more apkallu hate if something would have happened.

Also, our server currently lacks the astral candy when this happened, if thats still a theory about it. Just throwing it out there I guess.
