I've heard that maximum time is depending on how long boss can stay before puffing, is that true? For example:

* vampires stay for 8 hours before despawn, does it mean it can spawn maximum 8 hour before server save?

* poi bosses stay for 4 hours, does it mean it can not spawn if there is less then 4 hour left to server save?

You're asking how long boss stays after spawning, not the maximum time it can spawn.

Howcio can you clarify did you mean how long they stay after spawning?

It's difficult to confirm, but I believe so. My boss group, for example, never found any of the vampires after 2:00 CET.

@shawtay I have no idea for what you changed the title if content says clearly what im asking for. I ask on what time it can spawn maximum, not how long bosses stay after spawn.

As you mentioned in your own post, it depends on their lifespan.

Furyosa stays for 4h (and her demons too), so she won't spawn after 6 AM CET (4h before ss).

Dharalion lives for 8h, so it won't spawn after 2 AM CET (8h before ss).

Most common bosses live for 1h, so if it's less than 1h before ss and someone already checked them, not worth checking anymore.

Banks event can happen every hour starting from server startup (not login time, but about 3-4 minutes earlier). You can track server startup time when Kingsday event is active, as hourly raids happen at the same time. It's usually from 10:02:45 to 10:03:30 CET.

Oodok Witchmaster and Arthom the Hunter can spawn anytime and will stay forever until ss or until killed.

Variable spawn nemesis bosses, like Hive Outpost and Mahatheb, or the otherworld minis, will also stay until SS if their spawn is forced.

And even tho this is not a nemesis boss, Albino Dragons live for 30 minutes, and can spawn every 30 minutes starting from 10 minutes after server startup.

This is wrong.

I've seen Furyosa spawning less than an hour before the server save.

The only restriction i've seen that is actually never disproven is that Ferumbras will not spawn 4 hours before the SS. All the others respawned anytime before and after the SS

I checked plasmother at -3ss. I checked again 20 mins before ss and she was there. I pinged my boss group assuming it would stay up until ss as it had been less than 4 hrs. 10 mins before ss it despawned.
