Talk:La Velue

on other forums, there is a suspected pop timer of 24h, which seems to be inaccurate. i made claim to La Velue on Ragnarok 12:21pst Thursday, no drop. (about a half hour after the 24h mark from maintenance, which might support the 24h spawn time.) friday i was in the area wide-scanning from an hour before to 7 hours after the 24h window, with no results. it may be a 21-24h spawn, and someone else got it before i showed up today. i'll update more if i claim again.

I have no proff against the 24 hour pop both times i went to pop it was around the same time each day

I camped this today with a few people in my Linkshell. We camped it right after maintenance, so I don't know the pop timer, but we were there for about 30 minutes killing Smilodons when it popped. The only drop was the Amakura. Spikey 00:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Easily solo'd as a THF75, the move "Disorienting Waul" can miss also (avoiding amnesia). His accuracy was fairly poor also. Gave 0 xp and dropped nothing with TH4. --Rry 19:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

The placeholder is the tenth Smilodon in the dat files of the group that is found at G/H-8 (just above La Velue), and tends to be found at G-8. Placeholder will respawn within 10 minutes of NM dying, leading me to believe that it is a true lottery rather than any minimum respawn timer, however the shortest respawn I saw was 65 minutes. --Stromgarde 15:28, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

I camped this yesterday for Trial No6 and NM pop always every 80-90 min killing the right placeholder. Just go to line between G/H-8 and widescan from here. Main page say here is a group with 29 smilodons but it isn't true, sometimes you can see up to 32 in widescan, anyway placeholder is the 10th on list and always pop in G-8 and almost can say in the same spot. However La Velue can pop anywhere so after kill the PH back to G/H-8 to widescan again. --Vodak 22:10, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

There are 29 consecutive Smilodons in the group in the bounded area described on the main page. Yes, you can hit more than 29 at once with widescan, but even you do manage to hit more than 29, 29 is the maximum quantity that will show up consecutively in widescan. That's what people are talking about. If you like, you can verify this using polutils. --Stromgarde 04:26, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

I mean 32 consecutive. Now, while posting this coment I'm helping a friend and this time I have 30 Smilodons consecutive on widescan. --Vodak 21:15, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there's 32 consecutive, depending on the range and where you're standing. Sometimes 29, if you stand in a weird place. It's still the 10th in the list though. Zaphor 08:25, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
