    nm after mait. rule of thumb?

    I looked around and can't find what the "rule of thumb" is when it comes to timers after mait. reset, I've been playing for years and rarely ever am home after a mait. ends so I was wondering what the "rule of thumb" is about timers, I know king windows open right after, but I heard Jeuno nm's(arthro, roc, sim) don't?

    Is there a certain set that don't open after mait.(such as 21-24 non kings) or anything of that sort, or is it monster specific if it will open or not?(Specifically the brown belt stupid ochu in ordelles)

    Thanks in advance, and sorry I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it in a search, if someone else has it handy and could link me it would help greatly, thanks again.

    It varies between mobs. Kings start immediately, ToAU HNM are 12-36h after server up, CoP Wyrms 24-72. Bright-Handed Kunberry pops 20hr after server up, Bloodsucker 21-24. I don't know about Morbolger, but I would guess its window would open at server up.

    Pretty sure Bloodsucker is a fixed time, I think 24h (could be 21h though, it's been over a year now). I think the 21-24h idea dates back to before it was commonly understood about servers coming up before login was possible.

    Kunberry and the series of similar NMs(Shikigami, Intruder Earring, the 3 outside base beastmen strongholds, etc) pop 21:00 to 21:15 after server up and bloodsucker pops 24. The toau and cop numbers are right, to my knowledge all other timed NMs will have window open when maint ends. There is confusion simply due to the fact that servers are often up as long as an hour before players are allowed to log on, while SE does tests or whatnot. If you camp any of the 21-21:15 nms to get a frame of reference on server up, it'll always fit with bloodsucker's pop time.

    Damnit Sui!

    The ochu NM in Ordelles pops after maintenance iirc. Although it's been years since I went through the pain in the ass that was getting it. TimeStamp is your friend.

    Unless they have a special pop on maint rule is this

    Pre COP mobs window start after maint

    After COP mobs window start later aka 21-24h mob is 21h-24h after maint

    Morbolger: Last time I saw him close to maint time, he was up as I was logging in, already claimed, and a /sea all had ~75 people online.

    Granted, this was ~3 years ago, too.
