The Bane Lord is a nemesis category boss that can only be killed during the Bewitched event, its spawn location is in front of the cauldron of this event, a little further south (here). His appearances might seem somewhat random to some, but there is a logic behind it, and that is the goal of this post: to explain how it works.
Firstly, he does not spawn, and will never spawn, at the same time as the raids that occur when a new ingredient is requested.
The time between possible raids will always be exactly 25 minutes, starting on the first day from the server boot (see this topic to understand more about this term). For example, on the first day if the server boot occurred at 05:03:44, the next possible raid will occur at 05:28:44, and so on.
From the second day onward, the pattern changes and becomes more confusing. The first possible raid on the second day will occur 25 minutes after the last raid before the server save on the first day. For example, if the last raid on the first day occurs at 04:48:44, the first possible raid after the server save on the second day will occur at 05:13:44. The third and fourth days follow the same logic as the second day.
For each possible raid, there are three possible outcomes: no raid, a raid without the Bane Lord, and a raid with the Bane Lord. Therefore, even with this information, it may take a long time to complete your bosstiary.
Finally, here is a small and simple tool that shows only hours and minutes, to calculate the next 20 possible raids after the time you input, according to your server's situation.
