Maybe AG but pretty sure that was Asgard... But realistically it didn't matter because like I said - noble had about a 15 second life span for the last 5 years and was contested by virtually every guild on the server.

Velious will fix it.

+1 I remember this shite

"Kunark will fix the raid scene by introducing more raid targets"....
"Velious will fix the raid scene by introducing more raid targets"...

In velious now, and pre-kunark raid bosses still die in minutes to the same guilds clearing ntov

wasnt AG gaming the OoA=more nobles thing for years by claiming the sky day that nobles would always pop on?

Uh what? I've seen like 2 nobles pop ever on our sky day in the last 2 years.

Looks like all those Nobles pop only on Tuesdays then.

Cecily is the one in charge of isle 1 for Rustle. Complain in game and she will take care of any concerns including reimbursement for having to buy keys.

It sure has been awfully quiet on our Thursday night Sky raids since we stared killing every OOA... Plus we have been able to engage and kill the Noble almost every single time since then. Has worked well for us so far.

Thank you to those that provided constructive replies. To the rest of you, this post was not about blame. Get your attitudes fixed.

Up until this recent server reset noble was popping on thursdays while a single OoA was up. OoA depoped right before noble poped. A new OoA would pop upon noble death. I know veloci and second sons and novae only started killing OoA to stop the sniping of islands by groups / guilds on their off cycle day. I've seen the afore mentioned 3 guilds get screwed out of their thursday sky days multiple times specifically due to someone clearing 1 or more islands when it was not their turn. 3 weeks in a row someone had killed only the island 1 and 3 boss on their off days... this ofcorse resulted in no sky raid due to the nonsense of isand hopping without keys.

Also paradox has specifically been killing OoA to do the hov mob.

HOWEVER; I still do not see a confirmed spawn mechanic to get more noble pops outside of a server reset. If I understand all this correctly, the 3 day noble can only result from OoA repop due to server repop without timer reset.

Hello sky goers,

I was hoping for some better clarification on the OoA and noble spawn mechanics. There seems to be a large amount of conflicting information.

After much browsing I have come to understand that the noble has a 7 day and a 3 day spawn. Both 7 day and 3 day can be going at the same time.

However I do not understand how to get the 3 day noble spawn cycle going.

1) The 7day noble pops on a (supposedly) static 7day timer
?) Does the 7 day timer start on pop or death?
?) Does the 7 day timer have a variance?

2) Upon the death of the 7 day noble an overseer of air spawns.

3) Supposedly the Overseer of Air does not depop according to wiki.
?) I don't understand why the above is true since I have personally witnessed the OoA depop right before the 7day noble pops.

4) Supposedly the 3 day noble timer starts if the noble is killed while OoA is up.
?) How does this work if the OoA depops right before 7 day noble repops?

5) Also supposedly the OoA can repop if noble is left up for a few days.
?) I have never witnessed this nor have I seen noble alive for more than 12 hours. Can anyone confirm?

6) According to some 2006 guides from live there can be at most 4 OoA which can result in multiple 3 day noble cycles allowing a noble pop 5 to 7 times in a week and sometimes up to 3 times in a 24 hr period. (Cannot confirm true for p99)

Please, PLEASE, provide some insight into this confusing spawn cycle.

And will someone please update the wiki with correct spawn timer info. (Multiple items for sky in the p99 wiki are missing or merely speculation)

Thank you to those who provide helpful information.

1) True.
Pop
Yes about 20 minutes or so from what I can tell.

2)Yup
3) He does Depop as the Noble is spawned.
4) More or less
5) Doubt he is left up
6) Yes there can be a total of 4 OOA up at one time... One spawning a 7 day and 3 spawning a 3 day. Therefore technically there can be 2 Noble Spawn on the same day. I have personally Seen 2 nobles spawn (the 7 day one, and a 3 day one) on our Thursday night slot.

For now there will be no 3 day Noble spawns any time soon.

Hey Samoht did I find you in game finally? Level 49 SK named Trozzle from Kittens Who Say Meow has been despawning princess everyday. Do you just log in and despawn princess and then come on the forums and blame it on AG and Rustle? Seems like something you would do.
