How much you should wait between one check and another when you're bosshunting?

Question

I'm not really into bosshunting but I like to check some places when I see that the chance of appearing is high, so i end up getting there a few times, but I should check every hour? Each 2 hours? Or take less time?

Comments

There is no telling how often you should check. Since the hourly spawn is hugely random, the boss can appear just as soon as you have left the cave.

Ultimately it depends on the boss - how popular it is and how often it typically spawns. If your in a crowded server and everyone is trying to mount or unlock the midnight panther for example, you should try to check the boss as much as you can. I know when I would check for the midnight panther I would logout near the spawn and go to check probably 5x a day every chance I could. When I would check 4 out of 5 of those times someone would either also be checking or there would be dead creatures nearby indicating they already checked. Dont be fooled by this as you can still compete for bosses. You just can never give up. I also recommend checking tibiabosses as this fansite has really great information on bosses. Happy boss hunting!

Ps- if a boss hasn't spawned in a while on your server and its showing most likely to spawn on tibiabosses.com it doesnt hurt to check for the boss every chance you can. I know of friends who would also check every hour for bosses that are bound to spawn soon. I know of someone who would also check the midnight panther every 30 minutes because they really wanted the mount. Try not to stress yourself out but if you really want to see a boss you will make sure you find him eventually!

Yeah I always look at the tibiabosses.com. Just to be clear, I'm not a bosshunter but I like to check some bosses that are not premium in tibiabosses just for fun, when I have some free time.

Yea I wouldn't stress it unless you want to. If you dont want to boss hunt and you do it you can get burnt out and not have energy or time to much else. :) its better to do it on your own pace. ♡

Answer 2

Check as often as you can, but I rather not suggest to do it more often than every 30 minutes, especially that sometimes there are so many bosses on high chance of appearance, that when you were finishing your round you would have to start another one again.

Camping bosses whole day long is also stupid and may rather disturb than help you find anything.

Nowadays I check bosses on very crowded server, full of boss-hunters server about 5 times during a day and still sometimes have luck, unfortunately not as often as long time ago, but I simply have too many tasks to do in my real life. We must be honest - being good in bosshunting is not based on your luck, but on how much time you put in it.

That's exactly the point. It's more based on how free time you have than luck. As I play with 2 characters (which I try to use the stamina bonus), I spend at least 4 hours hunting, so if I want to bosshunt I would play even more and not to do other things in real life.
