Cycles
My assumptions/predictions for the cycles are:
- Message in a bottle (Agar Atoll) — First spawned 11 October and might be a 4 day cycle. I don't have enough confirmed spawns to feel comfortable with this guess. If it is a 4 day cycle though, the next spawns will occur on 27 Oct, 31 Oct, 4 Nov.
- Message in a bottle (Cannonball Run) — First spawned 11 October and is very likely a 6 day cycle. It has been spotted on 11, 17, and 23 Oct. The next spawn should occur on 29 Oct, 4 Nov.
- Message in a bottle (Eisetes Cretor) — First spawned on 12 October and is very likely a 7 day cycle. It has been spotted Every Wednesday so far, and I assume it will keep popping up then.
- Message in a bottle (The Hamlet) — First spawned on 15 October nad is likely an 8 day cycle. I have only confirmed it spawning again on 23 Oct. If it's a 4 day cycle, the next spawn should occur on 27 Oct, but for 8 day cycles I expect 31 Oct, 8 Nov, 16 Nov.
- Message in a bottle (Quis-land) —
First spawned on 10 October? Confirmed dates so far have been 18 Oct, and 26 Oct as confirmed by Jmods. Next dates should be 3 Nov, 11 Nov, 19, Nov.
Batch 1 bottles still need to be sorted, but I think we're pretty confident they're all 1, 2, and 3 day cycles at this point. — Heaven Sent (talk) 17:19, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
- About Quis-land's bottle, Mod Orion tweeted me that it either spawned on the 16th or 17th not the 18th. Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 19:08, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Also, I'm pretty sure the Cannonball Run is possibly every 3 days - I'm certain I got it atween 11 and 17 October. Just be careful ye dinnae exclude results tae fit yer theory Template:Signatures/Ciphrius Kane 19:52, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
- By all means! I want you to prove me wrong more than prove me right. — Heaven Sent (talk) 20:19, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

- Wanted to add that Quis-land's bottle can be spotted today (26 October). Also in regards to the first batch, I found all of them on 9 October. For future reference: all dates above are in 2016. Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 20:33, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Message in a bottle (Eisetes Cretor) was spotted today by IP 62.168.111.150's recent edit. I'm very confident it is a 7 day spawn cycle. — Heaven Sent (talk) 20:44, November 2, 2016 (UTC)
- Message in a bottle (Agar Atoll) spotted on Nov 11th, had other clan member with me. Appears to be instanced, I was able to see and pick it up, he did not see it.73.49.174.71Bladecom
- Fixed a link to the bottle and did the other clan member already find it once? If they have it in their inventory/bank, they won't find it there again, unless they destroy it. It doesn't seem the bottles are instanced though, everyone should be able to see the same ones with the exception I mention earlier (about having the bottle already).

- I'm starting to make better predictions for most dates now. "Monkeys" works with 4 days, and I've managed to make accurate predictions off that is we assume the 12 October date was actually spied on 11 October isntead. Christmas Island works as 3 if we ignore 12 and 16 October for the time being. Springbreak still has me stumped for the time being, but I think it might have some odd math on it; something like
Spawn on N day, where N=N+1, and if N>5 N==1
. If that's correct I'd assume Springbreak to pop up on 5 Nov, 6 Nov, 8 Nov, 11 Nov, 15 Nov, 20 Nov, 21 Nov, 23 Nov, 26 Nov, 30 Nov. Something to keep our eyes out for, but it's probably not likely (only way I can make a 19 day cycle work(4+5+1+2+3+4)) — Heaven Sent (talk) 02:08, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
Of the 4 Nov bottles in the cycles table, I've been unable to find The Hamlet or Quis-Land. I'd question the accuracy of those two. I have found the remaining 4 Nov bottles though. Cuzicouldyay (talk) 10:05, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
- I took two of my clan members to find them myself today, so I will profess to its accuracy. Maybe check your bank for "Message in a bottle" or "Treasure map" items, in case you've picked one of them up and forgotten about it. If still you're unable to find them, dates might vary for different players (think Underground Pass puzzles) which could explain some of the seemingly erroneous data I've been unable to account for. — Heaven Sent (talk) 10:15, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
- I want to remind you all that once you find a bottle, it will be visible for you always unless you have it or the treasure map banked. Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 10:53, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
- Also could not find The Hamlet (or Agar Atoll) on Nov 4--already had Quis-land and Cannonball. Did find Monkeys (last, so it wasn't that I had something in my bank). Gohn Jalt (talk) 20:42, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
As a follow-up, I can say that I have no Message in a bottle or Treasure map items in my bank. But! I just found the Quis-land bottle (5 Nov). So there's some data for you. No luck on The Hamlet today. 11:06, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Found Hamlet and Springbreak Island Today - 8th nov
Couldn't find The Hamlet on the 4th of Nov (per my other comment) but I did find it on the 8th of Nov. Still no Agar Atoll or Springbreak. Gohn Jalt (talk) 10:23, November 8, 2016 (UTC)
Found Quis-land & Eisetes Cretor on 9th November- Ermanzer0 (talk) 14:33, November 9, 2016 (UTC)
Also found Eisetes Cretor on the 9th of November Gohn Jalt (talk) 21:11, November 9, 2016 (UTC)

Only add dates you found the bottle to the table please. Rather odd that Hamlet didn't appear on 12 November. :S Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 16:16, November 13, 2016 (UTC)
