Nice work, a lot of info!

At tomorrow's game update several hints will change, large hint areas will be divided in smaller ones. A new device will give hints for specific pengs.

I've been noting the teleport times during last year. The default spawn time of the ghost is 10 minutes and 3-4 seconds. That means about 1 minute later every 3 hours (E.g. 00:00 > 03:01 > 06:02 > ...). Note that it's an average teleport time, it can differ several seconds (e.g. 10 minutes 20 seconds, 9 minutes 50 seconds, ...). I can calculate the current estimated teleport time this way, based on a teleport time of a while ago (even yesterday). A game update resets it, usually to around :x2 but not sure about that.

After an early teleport if will skip a teleport time and get back on track. E.g. it teleports early after 3 minutes, next spawn will be about 17 minutes. This can accumulate with several early teleports. That's why you can have 30 minutes spawns.

North east entrana on water is a early teleport zone, north of law altar.

Thanks Arixo. Some really interesting notes you have there!

Yup, last month there was an Al Kharid spawn that lasted at least 30 mins, possibly longer. My notes recorded its movements, with timestamps based on chat calls:

1. Found south of M T A at 16:11:52. Teled 16:19:21
2. Found east of herblore habitat at 16:21:56. Teled 16:29:24.
3. Jungle hint at 16:31:12, found at msp point 16:31:27. Teled 16:35:13 on water east of msp point. Early tele confirmed.
4. Fremenik hint at 16:38:40, found east of relleka by wall at 16:39:12. Last seen going north of Relleka's rock crabs at 16:41:46 and not seen thereafter. Early tele not confirmed but presumed.
5. Kandarin clue at 16:46:06, found south of lighthouse at 16:46:44. Went NW of lighthouse somewhere around 16:50:09. Early tele was not confirmed but presumed.
6. Fremenik clue at 16:52:41, found in Relleka snowy hunter area at 16:53:50. Went far west on water out of sight around 16:55:52.
7. Found in Al Kharid at 16:59:57. Teled 17:29:42.

So there were presumably four short teles before the Al Kharid spawn appeared. I don't know when spawn #6 teled exactly, so the Al Kharid spawn was somewhere around ~30 to ~34 mins in duration. It was a little confusing at the time, particularly between spawns #5 and #6, but it would seem what happened was:

M T A > East Karamja > Mudskipper Point (early tele) > Relleka (early tele) > Lighthouse/Barbarian Outpost (early tele) > Relleka (early tele) > Al Kharid

We (ghost hunters at the time) couldn't fully confirm if #5 had simply moved over to the snowy hunter area, but it seemed unlikely in the time it had.

Thanks for confirming the early tele zone. I'll mark it as red on the map and update the thread over the next few days.
