Almighty Apkallu: Found, and then lost again.

[Guitarman]

AA spawning only when the Astral is taken would make sense, seeing as some servers have not had it pop and others have. Although, how can we know when to look for it? Shiva lost the AS for 3 days after a maintenence, should someone look as soon as its lost? It still leaves alot of questions. With campaign out, far far fewer people do besieged on my server, so losing the AS is much more likely.

Easy way to test this is to go to those servers that are either undefeated or have not lost since last maintenance, if it has popped then the theory debunked. (Although I think most people gave up on this idea a long time ago, it still worth finding out since we have no idea wtf to do anyway)

AA popped on Diabolos, but I was informed they hadn't lost the AC since maintenance, which rules that out as a pop condition. Anyone else from Diabolos care to confirm/deny?

Also, I was also informed that on the screenshot I posted earlier, the "Dist" means the distance the mob was at in relation to the player, and the "Claim" is the ID of the player who currently has claim on it. The 0 would mean that the mob either isn't up, or no one currently has it claimed.

Alexander has not lost AC since maint as far as I know,

And no AA pop yet. :3

EDIT: As far as I am concerned, AA can pop with no one on ship.

Any theories regarding happenings while on the ship, IMO are null as I really do think AA can pop with no one on the damn ship. That being said, losing the AC is rare.

It's a good theory.

To the servers that have had AA pop since last maint, have you lost the AC at any time? Still no pop on Alexander means it's been going on 4 days with no pop. Kinda interesting.

If we can manage to lose the AC I will ride ship asap, and check to see if it has spawned. If it has spawns after losing AC, I think it's a start.

EDIT2: App is saying the Thunder Ele has popped btw. But not AA/Apkallu7. Just adding that in there.

Cue Al Zahbi shouts

"Guys don't fight! I need to see if the bird pops!"

[Demosthenes11]

Probably been tried but I've been paying pretty close attention to this thread and the last one, but has anyone made the apkallu on the boat their follower for the ride? And if so, is it possible to have more than one up at a time? Maybe 2 followers will cure his loneliness? lol.

Ok, I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I'm tired of seeing lonely being used

lonely appears nowhere in the responses by SE, read the fucking thing

I'm more curious on why his sig is so.. mysterious.

[Araius]

Valefor lost the AC a couple nights ago and I hopped on the Nash > Whitegate boat to check it out, no dice. Not that that confirms or refutes anything, far be it from SE to make that the only spawn condition, there's obviously going to be some element of randomness involved.

If it matters, I didn't even touch the 3 Apkallus that were on the boat at one time or another (never two at once)

[DAKPluto]

If it's been mentioned, I apologize, but since it mentions "luck" is needed...

Could a COR on the boat be required?
The lol4leaf bud or lucky egg must be eaten?

its obvious, you need 186 ppl on the boat to pop AA

[Airenn]

I'mma state this again: While I am not 100% certain, I do feel that *NO PERSON* needs to be on the ship for AA to pop.

Thus possibly refuting any combination of people, jobs, actions, items, etc.

[fndragon]

Reporting in from Diabolos, I don't think we've lost the AC since maintenance. I actually rode the ship back from Nashmau the day after maint, and even though it was thunder weather, no elemental appeared. Curious. Only thing that popped for me were two crabbies, who were summarily killed. Although I can verify that I had sanction refresh on, so the AC was definately still @ Whitegate.

Side note: I don't see ANYBODY religiously camping that boat on our server. So he may have popped on an empty boat ride?

If an apkallu pops on the boat ride when nobody is around, does he make a sound? Kwaaaark!

Seriously, though, is there any way to test it if this is the case? What use is an NM that we can't interact with? Should we log out of the boat, and log back on after it departs again?

While you're over there trying to pop AA, I'm over here stealing your Bubbly Bernie.
