It could be time but we don’t know that. Another way to try to dig information would be to find which Hidden NPC’s uses the same function call. If there’s multiple NPC’s that have their spawn conditions known and also use the same function call, it might be possible to guess what does the data in these variables mean.

It says npc_paladin_follower3_2, which is how sprites/assets are named. If you search tos.neet for Paladin Follower C2 you will find it, but there is no NPC associated to this particular sprite.

can be anything used to create the shop (coordinates as coordinates for example).
everything inside the “()” is to create the shop, that will be used by this function to create it.
since you want to data mine the code (not something very fair to tell the truth, but acceptable due to the waste of time in the game), you need to find in the entire code where you can find: HIDDENNPC_TIME_CREATE() FUNCTION is being called. It will be probably inside another function.

Kule Peek has the same art design as Entrance of Kateen forest, have you guys check it out?
Or do you guys think it doesn’t have anything to do with the mistery?

Kule Peak has so few quests, but there are a lot with lvl “9999” https://tos.neet.tv/zones/1191

they’re unused quests, prob the devs used kule peak as a test zone for stuff, or they’re not put into the game yet

Tree of Savior JP just gave the the headpiece as limited gift to celebrate their 2nd Anniversary.
It gives the impression that it’s not normally obtainable.

Well that’s discouraging… Wheter it’s obtainable or not, japanese players are getting it for free.
Either way, that doesn’t change the fact that there’s surely still something hidden in Kateen.

I spawned the Emotional owl again today and had someone kill me in front of it to see if maybe it’s interaction was similar to the tenent church hidden quest but nothin

Nice! That’s checked then.
Guess Emotional Owl is not so emotional after all as it didn’t care…
Either way, we will not forget your sacrifice. RIP. You’re now the official martyr of our cause.
I was wondering about trying the same thing with Sleeping Owl in Entrance of Kateen Forest but I haven’t gotten to do it yet.

also i’ve been trying all week to get a glimpse of the wandering merchant in poslinkis but haven’t seen him yet so if you do see him verify

I’ve camped for him with my camera a few times but he doesn’t show up.
It’s still possible he shows up super rarely, like once a day or so.
Wandering Merchant has been seen by players of level ~110.
I’m trying to think of things to try that beginner players could do to trigger him…
For now I’m hunting for Wandering Bard. Want to check if he isn’t the trigger. No luck so far though.

Found Troubadour again. He was in a new spot.
I went to check if Wandering Merchant would spawn after I talked to Troubadour. Didn’t find him. When I came back, Troubadour was gone as well.
With that, I couldn’t confirm anything for sure. Gotta try again.

that second idea i didn’t think about
it’s possible that could be a trigger

I’ve been thinking about this one lately.
Like others said, there’s no way to be sure what this means.
If I were to make a wild guess (and let me note here that I work as games programmer) it would be respawn time between 420 and 450 minutes (7 - 7.5 hours), duration of 30 minutes.
This theory doesn’t seem to fit with my recordings though. I’ve recorder that spot for 8+ hours a few times and he never showed up.
Possibly he shows up in random places like Troubadour so I’ve missed him.
In Entrance of Kateen Forest there is also a trigger for Troubadour with a function call
“Tactics MON_F_KATYN_7_BARD_TRIGGER(delay/160/200)”.

another thought about the emotional owl…
he’s not talking about himself crying, he’s talking about another owl I think
1 Like
I’m not sure. It does look like it’s him being sad. His name suggests that pretty well too.
Besides the owl, what still bugs me is the black crystal in Saknis Plains.
I know they usually give nothing useful but I can’t be sure about this one until it’s confirmed.
I’ve tried multiple times spending hours to complet it, feeding it CURSED PURAGIS and clearing them all over to make them respawn. I really put so much effort into this… but the crystal is never satisfied.
I grew to believe that it’s near impossible to clear this gimmick alone. I think you need a party for it (much like you need it for Driekple of Appraiser quest).
There are a few other secrets I’d love to experiment with in a group, including skulls at Underground Grave of Ritinis and water bowl but it seems there’s little to no interest in that on my server.
