Thread: Troublemaker Paymaster

  1. #1

    Default Troublemaker Paymaster

    I've been in groups the past couple of days trying to spawn the Paymaster for the Gem Recipes. The first time he spawns just fine. We then spawn one of the other bosses to try and reset things and go again to spawn the Paymaster. The next time we get the "Unrest is growing fiercer in the district" message, the paymaster never spawns. We had two of those fail attempts yesterday, and one today, before we gave up.

    Has anyone been able to spawn him twice in succession recently?

    edit:
    Instructions to spawn:
    Ok, for those that don't know.

    The way we have spawned the Paymaster is to first go into the Commons District and reset the troublemakers cycle by killing whatever boss is down by the Granary. We just finish the riot since it is already mostly done.

    From there, we split up and 5 of us go to each of the 5 clickable doors in the zone. The 6th person goes to the City Square (to kill any Troublemakers that the others miss). The Troublemakers spawn at the doors and head to the City Square.

    The five doors are at:
    591, 873
    600,834
    808,887
    784,817
    828,814

    We then proceed to kill all Troublemakers that are alive. The 5 people at the doors click the doors whenever they become active to spawn more Troublemakers to kill. It seems that it takes about 10 Troublemaker spawns to get the message "Unrest is growing in the district."

    You want to see that message, "Unrest is growing in the district", approximately 23 times in a row with no other message showing up on the screen. If done properly, soon you will get the message "Unrest is growing fiercer in the district." At this point, the Troublemaker Paymaster is able to spawn from one of the 5 doors. Give it a little time for him to be able to spawn. Keep clicking doors.

    This has worked for us for only the first time each day we have tried it. Any subsequent attempts has no Troublemaker Paymaster spawning.

    when u see that message it doesnt mean he spawned or will spawn soon just keep going after a few of those messages he should spawn. cant remember if there is an icd on it though.

    IIRC, you need to see that message several times, don't you?

    "unrest is growing FIERCER" already is the wanted message; you have 20+ messages of "unrest is growing" (w/o "fiercer") to get the fiercer message, so the doubts of tapwater are legitimate.
    actually i've had the same issue before: once the boss spawned like 5 minutes later from one of the yellow troublemakers (be careful that noone else / no npc attacks these troublemakers like a chicken or guard or something ) and once he didnt appear at all~ wrote a ticket about that but it didnt help out at all (surprise surprise).

    afterall i dont recommend farming this event -it just leads to frustration.
    -> often you dont see any loot at all (not even an obisidian egg); any npc interaction can wipe the loot and you wont get any feedback whether you did something wrong or not
    its just not worth the stupid grind it involves

    I've never been able to spawn him a 2nd time within 2 hours.

    I assume the whole zone needs to reset or maybe there is a global 8 hour cooldown on him.

    THere's a global cooldown on the rare boss.

    However, if you're looking for recipes just kill the Watch Captain/Riot Leader...

    They both drop the gem dissolvents. TBH Watch Captain drops the best recipes. Just my opinion though... And all you need is heal/tank.

    Thanks for all the info. It really does seem there is that Global Cooldown of some amount of time. We seem to be just fine spawning him the first time on any day, but never afterwords. We once got the message after killing him 40 minutes earlier or so, then kept waiting for another 8 or so regular Unrest is Growing messages without him ever popping.

    Hey Tap,

    It would be cool if you could write detailed instructions on actually "spawning" the Paymaster boss for everyone.

    Thanks.
