- the RED mob set per map cluster is correct. If you happen to find one in a GT map, that means that GT is done for that channel. Write down the time you killed it and come back 3h later. The next mob will spawn in whichever map that has someone connected (which is channels with botters are terrible to hunt on);
- the RED mob's level works just like DIPQ (or whatever PQ, actually): it is the mean of the levels of anyone in the map at the time it spawns. If there's a lvl200 and a lvl100, the mob will be lvl150 a.k.a.: if you have to afk in such a map/if you have to hunt down as many channels as possible, do so with your lvl200 character;
- you do NOT need to kill the maps' monsters in order for the RED one to spawn. It will spawn 3h after it was last killed, as long as there's someone in any of those maps, obviously;
- know where in the map the mob spawns. It will ALWAYS spawn in that same area;
- if you're doing this with alts, get lvl30 lumis. You can tank the hits easily and kill mobs with the 2nd job light skill;
- from my previous experiences, the RED mobs spawn around 2h~2h30 after a SC. You've been warned.
Good luck!
