Sandworm repop

[Baelorn]

Wiki says Sandworm repop is 20-25hrs but I've recently heard it has repopped within in hour on multiple servers. On Phoenix it supposedly repopped 45 minutes after last kill less than a week ago. I guess my question is:

A.) Is it possible?
B.) What could cause the low respawn time?

[Mytiwar]

I don't think it's possible...

Unless maybe it disappeared without being claimed and then repoped during the next hour.

20-25 was never true on my experience. All pops were 21-24+X whereas X was the time to find it if it popped in some wired spot.

Think the wiki people were confusing the ToD when the sandworm died outside and when the BC ends on the inside.

We go by SW tod (the time you get sucked in) and We had it repop between 20 and 25hrs. But also one after 45 min which confused us.

ive heard that it can absorb reraise and because of this it is able to pop soon after it depops. Ive only heard of this happening-- never done it or have seen it myself.

Wow I never really thought of that ... that sounds pretty logical compared to the other theorys my ls has been thinking of ... we killed a sandworm once then 12 hours later found out another shell had one claimed ... we were thinking sandworm was either on a 10-12 hour window (Which would explain it going 20-25) or that there were 2 sandworms on 20-25 hour windows. I think the RR thing sounds better then both of those. Maybe it will RR after if doomvoids (in a new zone) then will stay up for an hour and since noone is scouting will depop, then repop at random (according to wiki if it depops it can repop on a random timer) which would explain the other LS getting it 12 hours after my LS.

Now ixion and sandworm repop after maint

Is it 20h after main or can it pop right after maint?

Wait, this thread's still a clusterfuck.

Did anyone confirm any of the following on worm repop:

20~25 or 21~24?

30min intervals from Doomvoid?

30min intervals from Serk/KA/Guiv/LW draw-out?

30min intervals from last person to exit the instance?

In my observations, I have never seen Sandworm before the normal 21 hours, even if it still has reraise up after a Doomvoid.

It's possible for it to wander, and if left unclaimed, will despawn and repop in another zone.

I've /clocked pop time and couldn't find a pattern for any discernable "windows".

It is a normal 21hr repop, regardless of whether maintenance happened or not. I've camped it 7 hours after a few maintenances to know this.

Edit: Also, this is considering we're talking about Doomvoiding Sandworm we know now

[Baelorn]

Like Nikir said it definitely repopped within an hour on Phoenix with no maintenance at all. Guess that one goes in the glitch category.

[Shadowscythe]

I've personally went down to camp this at the 20hr mark (thinking a 21-24hr) and found it being fought. And I've also waited til after the 26hr mark before its spawned... so I'd also like some answers to this

[Funkworkz]

this thread needs to be revived, as there were no straight answers to this. has anyone witnessed it popping before or after the 20-25 hour mark? or "reraised" an hour after doomvoid?

edit: the 25 hour mark is almost over on our sandworm window, and we noticed a rival LS leader with 4 lambton drops for sale in his seacom and sporting the title, so it confuses me how this could have happened... it DID drain all buffs yesterday before doomvoid, so Im guessing it either popped within the 19 hour mark, or a couple hours after the BC yesterday.

[Alibeemac]

Window is based on ToD of the mob INSIDE worm from our experience. Claimed it 7 days straight at one point a few months back. Always popped exactly on the ToD we worked from. We also always assumed it was 21-24hrs as it popped within the 21-24 every day until day 8... No pop at all. Gave up looking after hour 25. We had all zones covered and checked every corner. No other LS was camping. Maybe this could be an instance where it stole RR from the day before and repopped randomly after the previous fight and therefore changed the ToD. Idk

After last maintenance we had all zones covered from server up until 5hrs after server up. It didn't pop. However it did pop next day about 21-22 hours after server up. I am going to assume it is a 21-24ish from server up from this basis. Anyone else have this opinion?

Hate camping this... Love the fight but the camping is retarded as it can seem to one day randomly decide not to pop as it isn't in the mood or something >.>

[Kerberoz]

I've fought it, killed serket, then it popped again 90(approx, weren't scanning obviously) minutes later and we killed serket again.

[Funkworkz]

this makes it such a pain in the ass if it can "reraise"...

[Niki]

Problem with the repop time (and why many ppl tend to think it has 30 min windows) is that people just check at intervalls and aren't spamming widescan for it between those 30 min. Check it in 30 minute intervalls and it will always "pop" on the 30 min mark. If you go by the time Doomvoid happened (or the bc ends since thats exactly 60 min later), 30 min intervalls are definately wrong.

That pretty much sums it up lol.
I went to scan at the 21 hour mark before and found it sat up unclaimed in the 1st zone i scanned so it either popped before 21 or it popped right on the 21hr mark. Also seen it go to 25 hours so i've always thought it was 20-25.

Might be a good idea to test out the reraise thing, next time someone gets worm make sure it absorbs RR and go scout for an hour or so after you finish BC.

[6souls]

tested RR on yesterdays Worm on midgard, it didn't repop.

[Aikar]

100% w/o a doubt its based on when sandworm does doomvoid. it popped EXACTLY 21hrs after yesterdays doomvoid.

Its also on 15 minute windows, same as ixion, I'm 100% sure of that, still working on figuring out ixion's range as ixion can spawn before 21hrs (i'm 100% positive on that) and its 15 min "chance" windows, as itll choose to pop or not, and if campaign in that zone, it waits until camp is over.

[Funkworkz]

id like to test the RR thing, but usually after we find it we are fed up with widescanning for hours and go off to do something else lol.
