Unless you have modded your game somehow, he only appears from 8 pm till 12 am askan. And please don’t advice people advancing their pc clock, it will work retroactively where you need to wait until the entire timespan has been bridged before he ever comes back again. Silas ---

So if I’m on a realm with friends and we’re all in different time zones, which one does it pick? ---

Either the host or the person’s time who connected first? You will need to test out! Silas ---

This alone has convinced me not to purchase this game. WTH is up with the dev’s obsession with timers? ---

I’ve been lamenting this exact issue for a long time. The most vocal voices in the community that say ‘things can’t be too easy’, referring to adding more RNG to keep things difficult and grindy, do not realize a lot of gamers have actual jobs and things to do. I don’t come home from work for a 1 hour session where I lose and gain all my resources on a pointless gamble instead of an engaging experience. ---

> [@Gweddeoran](#): > > ‘things can’t be too easy’, referring to adding more RNG to keep things difficult and grindy, I would like to point out that the difficulty in skill-based video games comes from the complexity of the decisions, the timing, and the duration of the actions that keep you under pressure. Farming isn’t difficult; it takes time, and that’s fine if the time spent is rewarded fairly, but with the current implementation of RNG, this isn’t the case. > [@Gweddeoran](#): > > I don’t come home from work for a 1 hour session where I lose and gain all my resources on a pointless gamble instead of an engaging experience. Absolutely agree. ---

Hi I just wanted to vent! I have unlocked Finley for weeks now in real life time. I work Saturdays, I made extra effort just to try and see if he even exists. I really don’t want to play when I need to do other things after work. I still need to wait a few more hours! Will it be worth my time? Will something appear that I just have to have? Or will it be bugged and I have just wasted my effort to do so? No rest for the wicked has so much potential, I want to believe it will get better. But for something that requires planetary alignments to occur in real life seems not only unrealistic, but almost punishing. I also dislike the idea of the game acting like a chore just to do something - real life already has those. I get that the developers have passion for making this game and want to add mechanics that add interest or variety (I am all for that!), but this takes away from it. I want to see this Finley, but if it is not even worth it then I’ll probably be more pissed about it then I currently am. ---

Finley should be available every day from 8pm to midnight of the person who created the realm. He only showed up at that time UTC since patch 1 due to a bug that was fixed by the latest hotfix. I think the current iteration is fine, because he doesn’t sell any unique items. He can be helpful at times, but it is not at all necessary. > [@Patch Notes | Together Hotfix 8](https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/patch-notes-together-hotfix-8/26065/1): > > Fixed Finley’s spawn time being based on UTC, regardless of players’ actual local timezone ---

Finally got to see him! He was not worth the effort in the end haha! He should be the same as the other vendors and reduce the number of items he sells at the start. Then upgrade with Danos to increase the number of items to what he currently does now. Using real life time should be avoided if they are aiming to make the in game experience more immersive. It also gives all players the opportunity to interact with something they unlocked - that the developers clearly spent time and effort doing. ---

I have been biased with Finley spawning 8pm-12am local time as this is a convenient time for me to play. However, after March of this year my in game time thinks its in UTC (I have reported this in “bug reporting”). As a result, Finely now spawns 1pm-5pm my local time which essentially locks me out due to work schedule. I can confidently say that I do not enjoy missing out on content due to a real-world timer. Even though Finley is not a mandatory interaction he does provide a nice source of embers and plagued items for essence extraction. Plus interacting with Finley is just hilarious, the guy has a split personality with the bird on his head. It’s a shame that a lot of folks will hardly interact with this NPC due to real-world constraint. I do not see the downside of putting Finley on the in game time. With day/night cycles only being ~20min planning a visit to Finley hardly seem problematic. Keep the vendor/bounty resets at 5am local time along with Finleys stock. ---

It’s a strange disconnect to have an in-game time system but so many of the games mechanics completely ignore that system in favor of the real time clock. My time is unfortunately precious now that I am in my late 30s, and I really can’t afford to take time out of my schedule to play when the game deigns it. Same with the vendor stock respawn. ---

Closed due to half of the discussion being about Finley not showing up correctly because of a widespread bug. Feel free to start a new topic if you want to discuss Finley’s timing or anything related to that specifically!
