Almighty Apkallu: Found, and then lost again.

This is SE we're talking about. They won't make some stupid retardedly hard spawn conditions for a NM.

Like Taisaijin or Noble Mold, right?

Or Voluptuous Vilma

[Tymon]

Taisaijin isn't that rare anymore.

Ever since people figured out his spawn conditions he's up at least once a week on quetz, I would only assume the same for others as well.

[Rafike]

Once a week is pretty rare imho at least on an NM where your always at risk of someone coming in and fucking everything up either thanks to their lack of knowledge on how the NM pops or just to be a cock sucking douche (a little hint at how my Vilma camps have worked out )

[Myrrh]

I present to you, Stubborn Dredvodd. "Exact spawn conditions unknown. Believed to be 21~24 hour spawn but has been known to take more than 72 hours to respawn after last death."

Who's to say that AA isn't the same? This is SE remember, they won't make a NM that only spawns once a week in wind weather on a boat and if it's not claimed in 5 mins it despawns and his window resets. That's idiotic.

ya, this guy is right. He has been popping at least once a week on all servers...
OH WAIT GTFO

For about a month I was trying to get Taisaijin just for the title. Clocked all the right ToDs, had filters off to catch everything, only problem is it never popped because this group of JP or Italian players from the same LS would always come through, wave at me, then kill one of the Taisai sitting up. Without fail EVERY time, so yes it is still rare on some servers.

Can't speak to the same amount, 'cause I never left my character in the Pass for that long at a time, but - yeah, people are asshats, this is nothing new. The few times I did attempt to camp it, someone would stroll past me every 4-5 hours at the very least, and kill one. Some of them didn't say anything, a few people /point, /wave, /grin or /laugh before they leave. Same for Vilma.

Okay, you can go back believing that it needs a party of 3+ with at least one female riding the boat waiting for wind weather for hours on end for it to spawn. It's not something stupidly hard. It's a boat NM. The chances of it spawning like Stubborn Dredvodd are more likely then the idiotic crap the rest of these people are saying.

It most likely is only up for 5 mins before he despawns and making his window reset. Thus having a mean cycle.

The point of the post that you're responding to is that AA has not spawned on all servers. It can go months without spawning on a server. Randomly coming up for five minutes would be awesome, but it never happens. The point of this thread is to find what that condition is to make it spawn... Because it isn't happening.

[Myrrh]

Unless they make AA some sort of quest NM then I can't see it being something insanely hard. I'm just saying that it sounds a lot similar to the Carect Ring NM then anything else. I'm willing to go as far as saying it needs to be some super rare weather that happens on a boat with a moon phase. But again, unless it's a quest NM, it just can't have a stupid spawn like 3+ people in a party with at least one female.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but from your response it seems you have not read any of the previous information in this post. Furthermore, your assumptions offer little help since you offer no experience in this specific topic. There are tons of pages of people's assumptions here which are very similar to your own and have already been said.

Back on topic, is anyone still experiencing the skip in the boat ride? For some reason i keep skipping the boat ride and am unable to try to camp the NM. I'm not sure what the cause of the bug is but others in my party are consistently able to ride the fairy whereareas I am consistently unable to ride it.
I know its in the current known issues but the ride to nashmau is no longer on the list yet i'm still skipping also.

Any info would be of great help... I can't even get on the boat to camp it... QQ

Edit: fixed wording to be more appropriate

[Byrthnoth]

Originally I was interested in AA solely because he looked like a fun NM to figure out. But yeah, past experience with Stubborn Dredvodd kept me off the boat. 1 claim, got a freaking Tathlum belt, only took a week of game time.

Also, didn't someone .dat mine and figure out Volumptious Vilma was a hoax NM because it didn't appear in the jungles at all?

[Robert]

a screenshot of it was posted from atomos during ballista royale by players who wandered off the reservation

[Mierin_Eronaile]

Twimc,
AA has spawned on Remora and despawned with 100% HP.

[Howard Roark]

This is SE we're talking about. They won't make some stupid retardedly hard spawn conditions for a NM.

Like Taisaijin or Noble Mold, right?

Or Voluptuous Vilma

uh maybe whoosh but i popped noble mold on bst in like 2hrs...

I guess you obviously don't know the pop conditions for noble mold. Either you got really lucky or you're not thinking of the right NM.

[Yuri-G]

You can't "pop" noble mold, he's either lying or doesn't know how to properly use the English language.

[Bovineaddiction]

Ellyllon is not Noble Mold.

[Khamsin]

Ellyllon is not Noble Mold.

What about Tumbling Truffle?

[Bovineaddiction]

That's more likely. :D If only Mycophile dropped a hat too.
