    King Arthro, Windows or not?

    So i need this to be settled and know if i' m right or wrong, Now i still got alot to learn i' ll be the first to admit that, but I Have camped King Arthro (or KA) 100+ times in my 4+ years ff11 career and everytime i can remember KA is 21hours+5mins-24hour+5mins pop and has 30min pop windows just like Fafnir, behe, Adamantoise etc and i stand by my word on this and argued with people in the game that i respect "eliteist" and maybe some i don't, That they think KA can pop anytime during that 3 hours and dose not have pop windows every 30mins. Now i got people that agree with me and of course people that i have argued/discussed with, that say he is a "anytime pop". So please help me out here and let me know from your experience. 30min windows or anytime? thanks for the information in advance

    *Edited out "like Serket and Simurgh"*

    Out of the numerous times I´ve camped KA I´ve never seen it pop outside of one of the windows I had clocked. So speaking from my personal experience: yes he does have pop windows every 30 minutes. Too bad he didn´t decide to shit out my belt yet...

    I've probably spent ~50 days camping him (and I suck at claims...4 claims, 0 drop), and I afk based around the window theory, and haven't missed a pop yet.

    After almost 100 kills of KA I can without any doubt say that yes, you are correct.

    30min windows, tod +5, 21-24.

    Whoever was saying that it's not on windows is a fool with no experience with the NM.

    so people new to camping it stay focused the entire 3hrs? seriously though. everytime i have done a late night camp, i simply turn down BGM, and max out special effects. i have almost always woken up at the sound of others killing the knights, unfortunately, my claiming skills after just waking up are a bit slow.

    I am yet to see any windows in sim atleast, in the 75-100 times I camped him I never saw a pattern in his popping, just the standard 21-24 and I've seen him pop in the first and last few minutes. If someone can provide exact sim windows then I'll believe them, but untill then, he's windowless to me at least.

    Same, from my experience camping Sim, it doesn't have windows, it's totally random. I have seen it pop at 21h 31min and 23h 57min for example.

    Simurgh without a doubt doesn't have windows, a party of 5 (if there are a lot of campers) just has to pay attention is the best way I've seen, ka has windows everyone knows that
