    Description of the bug: (optional screenshot/video): Topside rombot spawns on a 30 minute timer instead of a 20 minute timer.
    What is supposed to happen?: Both rombots should be on a 20 minute spawn timer, per ML lib
    Where did you find and/or notice this bug?: While card hunting rombots, I noticed the respawn of the Rombots always seemed to lack the top one, while the bottom one respawned right on the 20 min timer. The top one would spawn slightly later, but then synced on the ~1hr respawn. I tested the timer again, noting the bottom one is correct but the top one spawned at exactly 30min from last kill. Note that Rombots spawn after mob kills, unlike area bosses.
    A step-by-step guide to re-producing this bug (optional): Sit at the map and kill things for 30 minutes like me :p
    Extra information (optional):

    Could it be you need to kill some mobs quite a number of mobs before it actually spawns despite the timer hits?
    Like Crimson Wood Tree, which is also on a 20 mins timers. Most of time I need to clear almost all the mobs in the map for it to trigger spawn despite way pass the 22min mark.

    Yeah sometimes a map is simply “full” and new mobs won’t spawn, regardless of their cooldown or respawn timer

    That’s not set in stone, though. Sometimes you haven’t killed a mob in over an hour and the boss still spawns. Maplestory is funny that way

    Yep I am familiar with the spawn mechanics of the map. I literally sat there from the bottom spawn timer (20 min), killing mobs until top spawn at ~30min. Yes, I cleared the map, I had genesis on top half and roar on bottom half to clear more efficiently if that was any concern. I also kept timers on all 8 channels so it seems unlikely that all 8 channels would malfunction on both a full multiple map clears (I did multiple to reduce the not-spawn RNG) + 20 min respawn timer.

    It was a long time back but I believe this was also the case with MT-09s. The top MT-09 on the top platform was consistently late. I may be wrong..

    Based on my last card hunting endeavor about a year ago, these timers haven't changed. Haven't seen any patch notes addressing it since either.

    To my knowledge all area boss style mobs, I believe Rombot is included in that list, have a variance for spawning based on their spawn time. This extra time you're setting could just be that, but someone on staff would need to confirm that.

    I'm inclined to believe that Rombot is included in that list. However, all timers that I know of have a variance of +/-10%. Thus, the 20 minute timer of Rombot should fall between 18-22 minutes, definitely not 30. I've completed the Rombot set 4 times now as well as many other area boss sets 4x. I might have noticed that Rombot did not have area boss variance, but it's been so long tbh.

    Edit: o wtf I just checked the library and the respawn time is updated to 30min

    Sorry for the late answer, I completely missed this thread somehow.

    Rombot timers are different indeed; one spawns every 20 minutes, the other every 30. It seems to actually be an issue with the library displaying both in the same group, likely because of them being the same monster (unlike, for example, Pianus L/R, that are separate ones), and picking the timer of one or the other.

    IIRC area bosses and ''regular mobs'' with respawn timers all have the 10% deviation for their respawn timer but the difference is that area bosses will always spawn regardless of the amount of mobs already on the map while regular mobs need an available slot first.

    Hence why you need to kill mobs before Rombot spawns but something like Black Crow will spawn regardless of killing mobs or not.

    Fixed on the lib. Now all spawns show instead of just one.
