* It's been proven that these do not exist in Valentine's Day (they were speculation on the part of PSO-World and the official boards, thus dreamed up by players), so do they exist at all? There's no way to say "They might be for White's Day" unless they've been found from the data, and I have not heard of this. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 13:02, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Would you prefer I translate all missions over from The Japanese wiki? I heard lots of people were having problems getting them to work so I thought maybe it would be better if people add the data themselves for it...

==== Does anyone believe it? ====

But it doesn't look like it is being done, so should I translate the rest over or just make empty sections for people to add? [[User:Fiethron|Fiethron]] 21:37, 7 January 2007 (CST)

The alleged -4 and -X2 spawns. We've got just four of these, none of which I've seen, and all of which are not seen on the JP wiki. Specifically:
 +
* [[Unsafe Passage]] "C-4". Supposedly non-rare, would only need a starting spawn of Pannon x3 to confirm.
 +
* [[Fight for Food]] "B-X2". Actually, both B-X and B-X2 disagree with the JP wiki. Would be hard to prove or disprove given how little people run it.
 +
* [[Fight for Food]] "C-X2". Our C pattern is the A pattern on the JP wiki. Their A-X matches our C-X2 and they don't have our C-X at all.
 +
* [[Plains Overlord]] "B-X2". Our B pattern is the A pattern on the JP wiki. Their A-X matches our B-X2 and they don't have our B-X at all.
 +
I remember not believing these when they were added back in 2006 by people who - by their other comments and thoughts - were apparently not capable of reading. Given that every other mission since has been 3 patterns of 3 common and 1 rare variant each, ''and'' that JP's wiki has seen our charts and disagreed, I still don't believe them. Does anyone? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 13:09, 29 December 2007 (CST)
 +
* I was wondering about those last night as I was going over charts.  I guess it's possible for there to be a second rare spawn per pattern, but I think it's unlikely considering the pattern established by almost every other mission.  It might be a good idea for us to go over those missions and redo the charts.  I think I might do that tonight if for nothing more than some practice with making a chart since I've never done one of my own before.  Besides, it'd be good for us to verify a number of these missions, particularly the ones that had spawn changes with an update over the summer. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:00, 29 December 2007 (CST)
 +
* Do we have a central page to reference which spawn sets/entire charts have been confirmed? If not, I suggest that we make one, so that those of us who are willing to help with this don't duplicate other people's efforts. - [[User:Spirit|Spirit]] 02:55, 30 December 2007 (CST)
 +
* Huh... now I'm not so sure. Just ran a Scarred Planet C run and got Rappies, but the spawns were off the hook. Pattern C. The second spawn was many Volfu (some kings, which was why I noticed) and two Bal Soza, and the "indoor" spawn of block 3 was Go Bajilla x3→4. There was also one spawn mid-way through which was a swarm of Go Bajilla (though only 3 at any one time, more spawned as killed for a while). Can't remember any other distinguishing features. Wondering if mission difficulty matters more for spawns now. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 19:07, 7 January 2008 (CST)
 +
** ...and again. Pattern A this time. Again, first b3 spawn was Go Bajilla x3→4, but nothing else I took note of. Still 100% on Scarred Planet C for rappies :/ - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 19:28, 7 January 2008 (CST)

*** Urgh, this'll be a difference on difficulty. And for the longest time I always thought difficulty only affected the way "sub-bosses" could spawn. Wonder how this'll work with mission spawn charts. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 19:38, 7 January 2008 (CST)
 +
**** I've noticed differences in spawn patterns between difficulty a few times, even with the older PSU style missions. The ones that spring to mind most are:
 +
***** '''[[Valley of Carnage]]''', which I was used to running through on my way to Tunnel Recapture, and which when I started doing it on S and S2 rank for exp, seemed to contain a lot more monsters;
 +
***** '''[[Tunnel Recapture]]''', which I spammed on C rank way back when it was the best MP for low levels, and noticed several odd things when doing it on S rank months later. And;
 +
***** '''[[Sakura Blast]]'''. Sakura Blast in particular stuck out at me, as I created the spawn chart based on S-rank difficulty spawns, and have since done a few B rank runs to find a better Neiclaw. The ''important'' spawn information seemed to still be applicable, though I didn't find any rare spawns on this rank, so I am as yet unable to confirm the rare patterns.
 +
**** The differences I noticed in TR and VoC might have been a result of rebalancing, so I initially dismissed those differences as a result of external manipulation in the form of game updates. SB though, is too new to have suffered any such manipulation as yet. If worst comes to worst, we might have to supply spawn charts for each difficulty on each mission's page. >.> - [[User:Spirit|Spirit]] 19:59, 7 January 2008 (CST)
 +
***** The current system works fine for Sakura Blast. I've found Jigos on both B/C and A/S layouts, using the system and spawns we have listed now. --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|Beatrixkiddo]] 22:17, 7 January 2008 (CST)
 +
***** Thanks for the confirmation, Beatrixkiddo. It's nice to know my effort wasn't entirely wasted (since I do still plan to hunt a Neiclaw, and don't really want to create a new spawn chart for the same mission a second time >.<) Still, for the other cases - ie: the -4 and -X2 variants - I'm inclined to believe the spawns that ''don't'' match the JP wiki at all, are probably entirely incorrect. That said, I also know for a fact that incorrect spawn information has been quoted from the JP wiki in the recent past. I suppose we'll need more information on all of these 'odd looking' spawn sets before we go about deleting thim... Is anyone here planning to hunt rappies/Jaggos? ^^; - [[User:Spirit|Spirit]] 03:44, 8 January 2008 (CST)

==New User, Please Help W/ Rare Monsters Chart==
+
So while I've been updating many of the mission pages, I can't help but keep notice of what's going on on this page and the already WIP transfer of the charts to their individual pages.  I figure in the end this page might just revert all the way back into a rare enemy list with the mention that there are spawn charts on the mission pages themselves.  Probably wouldn't be worth a sidebar mention anymore at that point.  But anyway, at present I have a bit of an idea on how to keep things organized and maybe speed them up as far as the conversions go.
−
I'm not exactly sure how this site works, so if someone sees this and can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
 
  
−
Anyways, I'm having some issues understand how to use the Rare Monsters charts.  there's A-1 through A-X etc., and Block 1-3 First Spawns listed for each area.  Here's what I am trying to figure out.
+
We could keep the missions in a chart with a color coded system (or even just a note in another column depending on how it's set up) of what condition the individual charts are in as well as links to them.  It would eliminate any more possible redundancies until each chart can be properly completed.  I've noticed a few instances where charts have been half done here and the mission page (but in different ways by different users).
  
−
Let's use Sleeping Warriors, Left Stairs Route, for an example.
+
I'm willing to get this all done and move any relevant comments about specific charts over to the mission talk pages, but I felt I didn't want to make such large changes all at once without some go ahead.[[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 23:33, 15 June 2008 (CDT)

+
* A while back, I was messing around with a [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox/Enemy_spawn_charts|possible new look]] for this article once the conversion is complete.  Basically, it tells how to read our spawn charts and then gives a list of missions with a link directly to their spawn chart.  I need to get back into the conversion mode I was in a months ago.  I guess I can only do a few at a time before I get burnt out on them.  Some of the tables can be a real pain. XD - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 18:42, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
−
~~  For A-1 "Block 1 - Block 3 First Spawn", what does that mean?  Does it mean something like, "first spawn in first room" for Block 1, then "first spawn for 2nd room", and "first spawn for 3rd room"?
+
** [[User:S-T-H/Sandbox/Enemy_spawn_charts|Here]] is something in the realm of what I considered for tracking progress. I'd basically transfer everything pretty much as is (while eliminating any redundancies), then replace the current notices/redirects with these charts. Then I'd update them with the proper progress level.  Doing it this way, people can see pretty easily what is and isn't done and what might just need a few tweaks to get done. [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 21:48, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

:I thought that this referred to the first spawns in first room with enemies in Block 1, first spawns in first room with enemies in Block 2, and first spawns in first room with enemies in Block 3. --[[User:Seikas2|Seikas2]] 17:16, 1 January 2007 (CST)
+
*** I'm good with that.  Anything to help move the conversion along.  XD  So I guess first we should work on moving the current tables over the their respective articles? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:48, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

**** Yea I think that would be the first thing.  After that we'd be moving various talking points from this section to the mission talk pages. I'm not sure how relevant or up to date they are, but we can figure that out later (probably around the time the charts are about completed). The last thing of course would be clearing out the individual sections where the charts used to be and replacing them with that chart. All that would be needed then is to make sure the chart is about right as far as progress goes. We might end up stepping on each other's toes a bit though. If you want to start transferring the charts themselves, I'll step aside for a moment and see what I can do with the talk pages.  Later I'll go through each section and see what condition the charts are in. I won't mark any higher than 'S' though (as you'd be much more familiar with how they should look as a final 'S2' version). [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 23:12, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
−
~~ For the A-1 through A-X then, I understand they are different variations, but do you have to get A-X, B-X, and C-X to get rare enemies? Or let's say you get A-X on Block 1 of your run or even Block 2 of your run, theoretically you should automatically get Rappies just because A-X was your Block 1? Or like I said, do you need multiple Block-X's?
+
* Just transferred over the chart for True Darkness for kicks. (Drop in the bucket and all that, right? XD) I'll try to work on transferring more of these over in the next few days; though I might not focus on the formatting for some of them since it can be a bit tedious. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:33, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
−
:The different A-, B-, and C- layouts are different map orders for the entire mission, with -1, -2, -3, and -X as different patterns of monster spawns. That is, if you don't encounter the "Block 1 First Spawn" in Block 1, "Block 2 First Spawn" in Block 2 and so on for an -X pattern, you probably won't encounter rare monsters. --[[User:Seikas2|Seikas2]] 17:16, 1 January 2007 (CST)
+
** Oh, please don't worry about formatting for now.  Let's just get all the charts moved over (in whatever condition they're in).  There already exists a variety of formats for charts on the individual pages.  I just want to avoid any more charts being updated in both places (or even worse only in one). They'll be properly marked with the progress chart when things are about done on this end.  [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 23:38, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

*** The 'longness' of this page was knocked down from the top 5 to #126.  Considering that it's #4 for hits, it'll hopefully save a good amount on bandwidth. Now all that has to be done is making sure the chart stays up to date.  I'll leave the 'S2's to you as you came up with the format. [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 03:48, 17 June 2008 (CDT)
−
Please let me know, so I can edit the Rare Monsters chart accordingly.  I have some variations not posted.
+
*** Alright, it's up to 121 now size wise, but I think we'll be good with this for awhile. All you really have to do now is take a look through the S ranks and confirm your S2 ranks.  If you can, please look at the talk pages after finishing and remove any unnecessary comments.  I think I spotted a few while carrying them over.  Outside of the discussion above (which might not have been figured out yet, I don't know), I set us up with a fresh talk page. Everything else has been moved to more relevant sections or has been cleared for being generally useless or/and outdated.  [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 05:55, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

-- Either they were B-X or the page is wrong. The spawn counts were accurate to the B-X list so either they were B-X and B-1 is correct or they were just mislisted on the page. --[[User:Aethir|Aethir]] 11:51, 31 December 2006 (CST)

-- You are absolutely sure that the first room in Block 3 immediately spawned with 3 Delsabans and 2 Pannons, not 2 Delsabans and 3 Pannons?  I did over a hundred runs, and probably 30+ were B-1 runs, only got B-X once, and it had rappies, so I find it difficult to believe you repeatedly got the B-X spawn set AND it was wrong.

For block 2 of valley of carnage, the enemies listed need to have a sword and shield icon.  Also, it needs to spawn as 3 Vanda, and then 2 more, and then 2 more.  All with sword and shield.
 
−

Para: I think I know what distinguishes some of the B-X from B-1s... Double check the spawn on the right hand side of the B-2 T split path.  I've seen Delsabens spawn there first rather than 5x Pannons and didn't get rappies.

Train track room is the room where the key is.  The other map which just has '''train tracks''' is the actual track part.  So for C-X, it is the small room. [[User:Fiethron|Fiethron]] 06:39, 15 December 2006 (PST)

== Unsafe Passage B-X ==

So will the first spawn of block 1 only have 3 pannons and no respawns?  I'm sort of confused.
 
−
 
 
−
-Can someone Answer this, im confused on this one also.
 
−
 
 
−
-Yeah B is a little unclear with the spawns.  3 of the variants start with 3 pannons.
 
−
 
 
−
--I spent a while doing LL runs and finally figured out the B-set of maps.  B-X is annoying to identify.  First, if you go into the first room and there are three pannons, you're on a good start.  Kill them, more will spawn.  Go to the back part of the room (around the corner but not through the door); if delsabans spawn, you have the wrong set.  If it's more pannons, you are in either B-X or B-1.  Unfortunately, the block two spawns are the same, so you have to go to block three.  But you can skip the enemies down the right path in Block 2.
 
−
 
 
−
--All right, I've been running B in Unsafe passage, and am getting the B-1/X variant. Anyhow, just had a question on the block one spawn set. Are we sure that after the three Pannons that there are SIX pannons in the second set? Here's what I mean: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4640061 I've seen five pannon spawn there multiple times.

** The point is that both listed "further in" (now "second room") as Pannon x6, while they are both really Pannon x5.

No I didn't get C-1. I counted the Vandas and they added up to the C-X spawn number.

Para: I just got another C-X spawn type with no Jao.  I believe the current article on C-X is definitely incorrect and someone needs to determine the right one.  It could be possible that the 3-3 Vanda Spawn in Block 2 is the real C-X?
 
−
 
 
−
Para: Hmm I just had a spawn today that was C-X and it had Jaggos... There must be something else that can distinguish between the two...
 
−
 
 
−
--If thats the case, and there *is* a 3-3 Vanda spawn in Block two of the C map set, then there are more than 3 mundane maps
 
−
 
 
−
+If you track the actual creature spawns, you will find that there are two different spawn sets that have a total of 7 vandas - there is the elusive 3-2-2 spawn set, and there is a 3-3-1 spawn set.  The best way to tell which one you are getting is to make sure you kill all the vandas on each set at the same time.  The issue is that if you don't kill them at the same time, they spawn at varying intervals making it difficult to distinguish what pattern you are getting.
 
−
 
 
−
**Does the A-X map work for VoC or is it broken? I finally gave up on C-X as I got the 3-2-2 spawn many times without any Jaos.
 
−
 
 
−
I did the C-X with the 3-2-2 spawn many times and didn't see an jaggos. My character is level 60 so 99 % of the time I killed the 3 first vanda at the same time, then two spawn and then 2 more and no Jaggo at all. I've been trying it for many days now and didn't see any jaggo with that map
 
−
. If possible, I would like clarification on the C map. I see no difference in c-1 and c-x by the way, both show 3 jisharaga in the first block and then 3 vanda with sword and shield, 2 vanda with sword and shield + 2 vanda with sword and shield in block 2

Are the S rank layouts for rare monsters the same as A-X? These punks keep escaping me on S. >:

*The A/B/C don't refer to the rank of the mission you are playing, they refer to the layout.  For example, VoC A1/2/3/X all have the Left Gate route as the first block.  VoC B1/2/3/X all have the Northeast Route as the first block.  Hope that helps you understand.

Here it is folks..
 
−
C1 and CX are identical up until a particular sequence in Block 2.
 
−
First get to block 2 with the Vanda 3-2-2 sequence. (if you get the 3-3-1 sequence you will not find the jao)
 
−
The difference isn't until you pass the gate. 
 
−
Pass the gate, go down the hill and kill the 2 Kog Nodds.
 
−
4 Vanda's will now spawn
 
−
:::THIS IS WHERE THE DIFFERENCE IS:::
 
−
Two different things can happen...
 
−
 
 
−
'''Number 1''': Once '''all''' 4 Vandas (withOUT shield and sword icons) are killed one more Vanda will spawn, then lapuchas.  No Jao's will spawn in this map.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Number 2''': Once a '''single''' Vanda is killed, more Vanda's will spawn, then more.(i'm not sure of the number because it's been so few times I've found it (only 4)) Once all the Vandas are killed, the jao's will spawn.
 
−
 
 
−
Im not sure if those 4 Vandas have the sword and shield icons when the jao's spawn, I'll have to re-post after the next time I find the jao.  I wasn't paying attention the first 4 times I found them (probably because I was excited)

I started hunting for jaggos again since the jaggo amure came out and I have to say that, at least since friday, the second block with a spawn of 3-3-1 is right. I saw the jaggos quite a few times since friday, twice a day to be exact, and all of these were with the 3-3-1 spawn. I am 100% sure of this since, I am level 71, I do that on C rank, I use a spear with dus robaddo to kill the first 3, it kills all 3 at once, and 3 more spawn right after, then one more.
 
−
 
 
−
Do not neglect the infos post by Ren above me though, since this is also a requirement.
 
−
 
 
−
Since there seams to always be a problem with the second block, I would personally suggest getting the first block right and once you have that, go to the end, no matter what. I always do this and saw quite a few jaggo even before the jaggo amure.

On which map variation was this? C? I did VoC a few times today and noticed that the A-1 and B-1 Block 2 spawns were incorrect for the first set of Vandas (The chart now shows the correct spawns). They were both 3-3-1, with no Jaggos. I'm going to assume that means it's the 3-2-2 spawn that determines if it is a rare variation or not for A and B.

* Okay, the spawn for A-1 is '''Vanda x3, Jishigara x1+1'''. That can be easily seen by anyone. The A-X spawn according to the JP wiki and us (before people took to quietly changing it) was said to be '''Vanda x3, Jishigara x2'''. The trouble is now people are sneakily changing this to match the A-1 spawn without any citation, which is troubling considering it goes against the JP data and what we thought we knew already. So... can we get a confirmation either way, please? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 21:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

What is the pattern to A-x? Nothing is listed. [edited 1/2/07]. When we get B-x or C-x we have no problems until the 3 Badira when you go down the stairs on 2nd block. I'm still unable to confirm those myself.

I'm not sure about C-X but B-X worked for me, took about 3 hours of hunting but i finally encountered rappies and orgdus once... yes the majority of the time the badira x3 at the bottom of the steps was what went wrong with the runs but it is possible.  I'm not sure if the luck of leader has to do anything with it, the leader in my party had 3 luck at the time but that culd just be a coincidence.  I have yet to find C-X, i always get a polyvohra at bottom of steps instead of 3 badira, but that doesn't mean the chart is wrong, it just means you gotta keep trying.  I'm too am trying to figure out the spawns for A-X, i just try and keep a mental note of spawns and if i run into ogdus i'll write it down and post them on here.

i updated A-x but the second room info is missing. i am also not sure if the first room spawns are the only possibility. but rappies did spawn when the polvora was down the stairs, that part is certain.

I posted a thread about it over on PSO-World, but being on 360, I can't exactly take pictures.  I'd really appreciate if one of you PC guys (or girls) would be able to take some pictures and/or add it to the list.  Anyway, here's my post:
 
−
 
 
−
It's the one where you go forward and there's that natural ramp (and 2 haystacks off to the right of it), and the first spawn is 2 Poltys (Polties?), then 3 of them which gives you a key to open the gate, then Vahras when you go down the next natural ramp.
 
−
 
 
−
Block 2...sorry I don't remember the first spawn, I think it was Poltys, but anyway...it's the block where if you go straight, there's a cave where you can take a left or go straight to get items. In there, 4 Distovas spawn. If you take a left in that cave, go up back onto the ground, and there's your Rappy spawn! 4 of them.
 
−

I'm sorry if it's confusing, and I really would try to get pictures of the blocks, but I'm on 360 and much too lazy to take a picture with a digital camera or something.

Pattern C Polties first spawn for block 1 and 2, in the cave it is 4 koltova not Distova. [[User:Fiethron|Fiethron]] 21:35, 7 January 2007 (CST)
 
−
 
 
−
So then are you saying that for Pattern C-x you have to get 2 polties on first block, 3 polties on second, followed by 4 Kovoltas inside the cave for the rare board?
 
−
 
 
−
Yes the patter for C-X is poltys in block 1, then poltys in block 2 followed by 4 Koltovas inside the cave, the table now shows this.
 
−
 
 
−
Somebody has placed an INCORRECT layout for Mad Creatures as being C-X2. This layout is WRONG. It is the Distova x4 inside the cave that makes it the wrong board. You want Koltova x4 inside the cave. I would edit it, but I don't want to mess up the layout.
 
−
 
 
−
Im pretty sure i got the C-x map one time as distova, but they do look similar so my memory could decieve me. My question is are there ever 2 rare map possibilites for one map. The FFF map has 2 marked also, is that possible?

I've been keeping a very close watch to find the exact spawns for EVERY enemy in the Rare Monster rotations for Sleeping Warriors...

I have Long Hall and Left Stairways done, but I noticed on the site here "Block 3 First Spawn for A-X" was incorrect.  The First spawn is actually 3 Golmoro's, and 2 Badira.  Also, there were 3 Badira in the box to the right at the beginning of Block 3.  I know this because I JUST got the map rotation done about 3 minutes ago.
 
−
 
 
−
So yeah... Basically I am looking for differences in spawns that occur in the first block between the "X" runs and the others that have identical first spawns.  As of right now, if I can test this tonight, there should be a way to tell right away instead of doing an entire block... I think I may have found a difference in Block 1 Long Hall that will tell you within the first 2 minutes.  I will give more information when I can guarantee it.

Hello,
 
−
 
 
−
I am doing Sleeping Warriors S runs for finding the Rare map the last 3 Days.
 
−
 
 
−
what I found out:
 
−
 
 
−
1. it is easiest if you only fight when you get the "Long Hall route" because you can check if there are the 3 Badiras downstairs at Block 2 within 6-7 Minutes(I am doing alone so I am not that fast).
 
−
 
 
−
So I only did the Long Hall Route over and Over...
 
−
 
 
−
I got around 5x the Rare map now. (average is every 2-3 Hours one Raremap) but not even one Power Charge dropped ^^ (15x Ordgus = 8x Meseta 7x Goldania ^^) I will keep on doing. But anyone found out if it has something to do with the first spawn? I forgot to pay attention, but the First Badiras at the Rare map I think are different:
 
−
 
 
−
Average is: 6 -> 3 -> 1
 
−
But I also saw:
 
−
6 -> 4 -> 2
 
−
6 -> 2 -> 1
 
−
 
 
−
same with the 2nd Badiras. behind the 2x Golmoro Spawns past Gate at Block 1
 
−
 
 
−
everytime I had Raremap, there were 3 Additional spawns at the last Badiras in Block 1.

That's exactly what I was talking about... I swear that the Badiras in the Long Hall on the rare map were different, I thought the first spawn was like 6>1, not 6>3>1 like the other, but I haven't had a chance to check it out since last week.

I don't think there are different versions of the map for Train, so A-1 would refer to the regular map, Block 1, and B-1 would just mean a new run. A + sign means they appeared after the first spawn, a / sign means they are part of the first spawn.

Keep reloading untill you git the layout where you start behind a door with the crystal.  If you get Bamaltas in the first room you're good so far...  On block two run accross the bridge.  If Buggy's appear START OVER, If you're lucky enough there will be Seekers and special opps on the other side of the bridge.  If there is you have the rare layout.  After that point you will notice RED bugs that drop florecent bulb boards, and the bosses will also be RED Grinna Beta S.  I've gotten this layout a couple times but no drops (other than crappy 2* sniper) so far..

== Overhaul Needed? ==

* A couple of things in this article bother me quite a bit:
 
−
** "B1 First Spawn", "B2 First Spawn", "B3 First Spawn" are not sufficient to well-determine rare spawns. For many missions the first time you can tell the difference is mid-way through B1 or B2. Wouldn't it be best to add a field for "First time you can tell if the map is rare or not" ?
 
−
** The terminology! If a spawn is three Pannon and two Delsaban, followed by two more Pannon (each spawning as one other enemy dies), then "Delsaban x2 + Pannon x3 + Pannon x2" doesn't accurately describe what spawns when. I believe we should move towards a standard terminology so that such mixups cannot occur.

* Thoughts? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 09:22, 25 March 2007 (BST)

* This would be a lot of work, but I think it would be best to dedicate an individual article to each missions. This would allow us more freedom for explaning things, without worrying about screwing up the semi-consistent tabular system we've got in place currently. I agree though, about the "first spawn" being inconvenient. I just ran a bunch of Fight For Food S2, and in many variants, the only way to tell if it will be rare if the first and last spawn of a certain block are the same enemy. Devoting an article for the rare spawn variants of each mission would allow us to explain these and other nuances more clearly without having a big cluttered mess, which is what we already have anyway. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 09:32, 25 March 2007 (BST)

Essen's Flag Icons

They look to me. - Amaury 08:02, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

Does anyone believe it?

The alleged -4 and -X2 spawns. We've got just four of these, none of which I've seen, and all of which are not seen on the JP wiki. Specifically:

  • Unsafe Passage "C-4". Supposedly non-rare, would only need a starting spawn of Pannon x3 to confirm.
  • Fight for Food "B-X2". Actually, both B-X and B-X2 disagree with the JP wiki. Would be hard to prove or disprove given how little people run it.
  • Fight for Food "C-X2". Our C pattern is the A pattern on the JP wiki. Their A-X matches our C-X2 and they don't have our C-X at all.
  • Plains Overlord "B-X2". Our B pattern is the A pattern on the JP wiki. Their A-X matches our B-X2 and they don't have our B-X at all.

I remember not believing these when they were added back in 2006 by people who - by their other comments and thoughts - were apparently not capable of reading. Given that every other mission since has been 3 patterns of 3 common and 1 rare variant each, and that JP's wiki has seen our charts and disagreed, I still don't believe them. Does anyone? - Miraglyth 13:09, 29 December 2007 (CST)

  • I was wondering about those last night as I was going over charts. I guess it's possible for there to be a second rare spawn per pattern, but I think it's unlikely considering the pattern established by almost every other mission. It might be a good idea for us to go over those missions and redo the charts. I think I might do that tonight if for nothing more than some practice with making a chart since I've never done one of my own before. Besides, it'd be good for us to verify a number of these missions, particularly the ones that had spawn changes with an update over the summer. - EspioKaos 14:00, 29 December 2007 (CST)
  • Do we have a central page to reference which spawn sets/entire charts have been confirmed? If not, I suggest that we make one, so that those of us who are willing to help with this don't duplicate other people's efforts. - Spirit 02:55, 30 December 2007 (CST)
  • Huh... now I'm not so sure. Just ran a Scarred Planet C run and got Rappies, but the spawns were off the hook. Pattern C. The second spawn was many Volfu (some kings, which was why I noticed) and two Bal Soza, and the "indoor" spawn of block 3 was Go Bajilla x3→4. There was also one spawn mid-way through which was a swarm of Go Bajilla (though only 3 at any one time, more spawned as killed for a while). Can't remember any other distinguishing features. Wondering if mission difficulty matters more for spawns now. - Miraglyth 19:07, 7 January 2008 (CST)
    • ...and again. Pattern A this time. Again, first b3 spawn was Go Bajilla x3→4, but nothing else I took note of. Still 100% on Scarred Planet C for rappies :/ - Miraglyth 19:28, 7 January 2008 (CST)
      • Urgh, this'll be a difference on difficulty. And for the longest time I always thought difficulty only affected the way "sub-bosses" could spawn. Wonder how this'll work with mission spawn charts. - Miraglyth 19:38, 7 January 2008 (CST)
        • I've noticed differences in spawn patterns between difficulty a few times, even with the older PSU style missions. The ones that spring to mind most are:
          • Valley of Carnage, which I was used to running through on my way to Tunnel Recapture, and which when I started doing it on S and S2 rank for exp, seemed to contain a lot more monsters;
          • Tunnel Recapture, which I spammed on C rank way back when it was the best MP for low levels, and noticed several odd things when doing it on S rank months later. And;
          • Sakura Blast. Sakura Blast in particular stuck out at me, as I created the spawn chart based on S-rank difficulty spawns, and have since done a few B rank runs to find a better Neiclaw. The important spawn information seemed to still be applicable, though I didn't find any rare spawns on this rank, so I am as yet unable to confirm the rare patterns.
        • The differences I noticed in TR and VoC might have been a result of rebalancing, so I initially dismissed those differences as a result of external manipulation in the form of game updates. SB though, is too new to have suffered any such manipulation as yet. If worst comes to worst, we might have to supply spawn charts for each difficulty on each mission's page. >.> - Spirit 19:59, 7 January 2008 (CST)
          • The current system works fine for Sakura Blast. I've found Jigos on both B/C and A/S layouts, using the system and spawns we have listed now. --Beatrixkiddo 22:17, 7 January 2008 (CST)
          • Thanks for the confirmation, Beatrixkiddo. It's nice to know my effort wasn't entirely wasted (since I do still plan to hunt a Neiclaw, and don't really want to create a new spawn chart for the same mission a second time >.<) Still, for the other cases - ie: the -4 and -X2 variants - I'm inclined to believe the spawns that don't match the JP wiki at all, are probably entirely incorrect. That said, I also know for a fact that incorrect spawn information has been quoted from the JP wiki in the recent past. I suppose we'll need more information on all of these 'odd looking' spawn sets before we go about deleting thim... Is anyone here planning to hunt rappies/Jaggos? ^^; - Spirit 03:44, 8 January 2008 (CST)
  • This seems to have run its course. I could be wrong, but I have to think that the discrepancies here have been resolved. I won't remove it myself until we're sure on this one. S-T-H 03:12, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

Future?

So while I've been updating many of the mission pages, I can't help but keep notice of what's going on on this page and the already WIP transfer of the charts to their individual pages. I figure in the end this page might just revert all the way back into a rare enemy list with the mention that there are spawn charts on the mission pages themselves. Probably wouldn't be worth a sidebar mention anymore at that point. But anyway, at present I have a bit of an idea on how to keep things organized and maybe speed them up as far as the conversions go.

We could keep the missions in a chart with a color coded system (or even just a note in another column depending on how it's set up) of what condition the individual charts are in as well as links to them. It would eliminate any more possible redundancies until each chart can be properly completed. I've noticed a few instances where charts have been half done here and the mission page (but in different ways by different users).

I'm willing to get this all done and move any relevant comments about specific charts over to the mission talk pages, but I felt I didn't want to make such large changes all at once without some go ahead.S-T-H 23:33, 15 June 2008 (CDT)

  • A while back, I was messing around with a possible new look for this article once the conversion is complete. Basically, it tells how to read our spawn charts and then gives a list of missions with a link directly to their spawn chart. I need to get back into the conversion mode I was in a months ago. I guess I can only do a few at a time before I get burnt out on them. Some of the tables can be a real pain. XD - EspioKaos 18:42, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
    • Here is something in the realm of what I considered for tracking progress. I'd basically transfer everything pretty much as is (while eliminating any redundancies), then replace the current notices/redirects with these charts. Then I'd update them with the proper progress level. Doing it this way, people can see pretty easily what is and isn't done and what might just need a few tweaks to get done. S-T-H 21:48, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
      • I'm good with that. Anything to help move the conversion along. XD So I guess first we should work on moving the current tables over the their respective articles? - EspioKaos 22:48, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
        • Yea I think that would be the first thing. After that we'd be moving various talking points from this section to the mission talk pages. I'm not sure how relevant or up to date they are, but we can figure that out later (probably around the time the charts are about completed). The last thing of course would be clearing out the individual sections where the charts used to be and replacing them with that chart. All that would be needed then is to make sure the chart is about right as far as progress goes. We might end up stepping on each other's toes a bit though. If you want to start transferring the charts themselves, I'll step aside for a moment and see what I can do with the talk pages. Later I'll go through each section and see what condition the charts are in. I won't mark any higher than 'S' though (as you'd be much more familiar with how they should look as a final 'S2' version). S-T-H 23:12, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
  • Just transferred over the chart for True Darkness for kicks. (Drop in the bucket and all that, right? XD) I'll try to work on transferring more of these over in the next few days; though I might not focus on the formatting for some of them since it can be a bit tedious. - EspioKaos 23:33, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
    • Oh, please don't worry about formatting for now. Let's just get all the charts moved over (in whatever condition they're in). There already exists a variety of formats for charts on the individual pages. I just want to avoid any more charts being updated in both places (or even worse only in one). They'll be properly marked with the progress chart when things are about done on this end. S-T-H 23:38, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
      • The 'longness' of this page was knocked down from the top 5 to #126. Considering that it's #4 for hits, it'll hopefully save a good amount on bandwidth. Now all that has to be done is making sure the chart stays up to date. I'll leave the 'S2's to you as you came up with the format. S-T-H 03:48, 17 June 2008 (CDT)
      • Alright, it's up to 121 now size wise, but I think we'll be good with this for awhile. All you really have to do now is take a look through the S ranks and confirm your S2 ranks. If you can, please look at the talk pages after finishing and remove any unnecessary comments. I think I spotted a few while carrying them over. Outside of the discussion above (which might not have been figured out yet, I don't know), I set us up with a fresh talk page. Everything else has been moved to more relevant sections or has been cleared for being generally useless or/and outdated. S-T-H 05:55, 17 June 2008 (CDT)
