Respawn Times are Wrong

MonkeyAce·6/3/2019 in General

I've been farming a couple of 5 minute mobs for a while now and I've noticed a pattern, the respawn time isn't 5 minutes but 5 minutes and 48 seconds. Am I right?

I want your opinions, is this wrong or is it just me and should I change it, leave it as 5 minutes or round it up to 6 minutes as that would be closer to accurate, what do you think?

This currently applies to Mad Sheep, Goobbues and Ivory Lizards so far but I think this might apply to all 5 minute respawn time mobs.

Respawn Time

Respawn times seem to be based on game time, not real-life time. As in, one game day is around one real-life hour, but not exactly; I think it's 58 minutes and change. Don't round up or down, real-life respawn times should be as exact as possible. Look at the Forest Hare placeholder on Jaggedy-Eared Jack's page, as an example.

Just re-reading this, and I also had a difference in respawn times for a couple mobs, until I realized I wasn't counting right. You have to start counting from when the mob actually disappears from your screen, not from when it "dies." I figured this out when I realized that if I did a Wide Scan right after I killed something, it would still appear in the scan. It wouldn't disappear from the scan until it actually disappeared from the screen first. Hope this (belately) helps, lol.

What do you think?
