To all level 11 and 12s who wish to hunt Serpagons at Azure Lagoon,
All that I'm sharing here are just common knowledge of how/when Serpagons respawn at Azure Lagoon and the optimum amount of hunters at any single time based on time per kill. These may be already known to some, but I feel it's a need to at least get everyone on the same page. Let me keep this as simple as possible.
Amount of Serpagons in location is dependant on the amount of inhabitants in location.
1-3
inhabitants in location = 2 serpas
4
inhabitants in location = 3 serpas
Additional of each 1
inhabitant in location = 1 serpa per inhabitant (this is not verified but should be roughly correct)
Invisible players DO NOT increase serpa count.
Respawn time of each Serpagon, in my observation, is about
~8 seconds.
Optimum amount of Serpagons/players hunting based on time per kill (not how many hits):
For any
7 seconds or less per kill, the hunter will need a minimum of 3 serpas in location. That would be 4
inhabitants in location, with only 1 hunting.
For any
8 seconds and more per kill, only need 2 serpas in location.
To anyone wanting to start hunting serpas:
1. Please look at Fights -> Current Fights/Completed Battles and check if there's anyone hunting, and also the amount of
inhabitants in location.
2 a. If there's none, by all means, start your hunt.
2 b. If there is someone already hunting:
(i) and there's not enough serpas/
inhabitants in location, DO NOT START
(ii) and there's alot of
inhabitants in location, please ask first BEFORE starting. Some of these people in location might be leaving anytime soon and will end up with insufficient serpas for 2 hunters. Some of the
inhabitants in location may be waiting for their turns to start.
If there are other level 11/12 in location not hunting, please do extend the courtesy of asking if anyone is there and planned to start hunting.
Some common examples:
1. Player A is doing 6-7 seconds per kill.
- 3 serpas needed, 4 inhabitants in location.
- If Player B wants to start hunt at the same time, what he/she needs to do is:
a. If B does 6-7 seconds per kill, he will need another 3 serpas, that's another 3 inhabitants in location. So a minimum of 7 inhabitants must be in location. BUT considering the fact that there will be alot of clashes of clicking on the same serpa, I would say at least 8-9 inhabitants need to be in location. Best would be wait and not start yet.
b. If B does >8 seconds per kill, he will need another 2 serpas, that's another 2 inhabitants in location. So a minimum of 6 inhabitants must be in location. Again, the problem with clicking on same serpas, so I would say at least 7-8 inhabitants in location.
2. Player A is doing >8 seconds per kill.
- 2 serpas needed, any amount of
inhabitants in location.
- If Player B wants to start hunt at the same time:
a. B does 6-7 seconds per kill - 6-7 inhabitants in location
b. B does >8 seconds per kill - 5-6 inhabitants in location
So just a quick recap, it is advisable not to just start your hunt if you see someone already hunting.
Please follow these courtesy actions, if you see someone already hunting:
1. Tell the current hunter you will start after him/her.
2. Current hunter DO NOT do 2nd hour if someone wants to hunt after. DO NOT say "Oh I'm doing 2 hours, so you wait" unless the other person is ok with waiting longer.
3. If a 3rd person comes by and asks, the current hunter should tell him/her that someone is already queued, tagging the 2nd person, let them sort out themselves and concentrate on hunt.
Last but not least, there is only ONE rule that overrides everything above, that is, you get 3 people to location specifically for your hunt. With that, all of you make 4 inhabitants in location, which means 3 serpas, which means you don't need to wait.
So all I'm asking is the coorperation of all who wish to hunt Serpagons in peace at Azure Lagoon.
PS: I've done serpas for 2 years already, I've done <7 seconds, 8-10 seconds and >10 seconds per kill. I know what I wrote here.
PS2: This is only applicable to Azure Lagoon and Humans hunting here. I don't really care about Silent Cove over at the Mag side.
