Re: 'Favorite' NMs
That's not quite right. Vodyanoi is a doomed NM that pops up on the nighttime boat rides. He'll pop on the Central -> South route that leaves @ about 19:50 or on the South -> Central route that leaves @ about 0:45. If he pops on the first route and you can't kill him before docking, he'll still be on the boat when the second route starts. His drops sell for some decent money so he's not bad to camp while looking for Stubborn.
Stubborn Dredvodd will only spawn on the South to North route that leaves at about 10:10. He usually shows up between 11:30 to 14:00. About midway through that time, the message 'Something catches on Ineuteniace's line' will pop up. Despite the theories, this has nothing to do with whether Stubborn pops or not. I have seen him pop before and a while after that message. Right around 14:00, Ineuteniace talks about the spot where two currents converge. In my experience, if Stubborn hasn't popped by then, then he most likely won't. I don't think healing does anything to draw aggro because he's popped a couple times when I haven't been healing. I still heal for the most part though, superstitious I guess. >.>
There is a common misconception that there are multiple boats on the Channel or that boats go out of order. Neither is the case. However, the differing NPCs on the boats and SE's choice of dialogue on the docks makes it seem so. The 'out of service' message basically means they are turning the boat around or parking one crew for another. The way the Channel is set up there is no way to effectively have the boat do a U-turn on the North or South dock. So, the NPCs give the 'out of service' message and it looks like the boat continues on its way while another boat happens to come along. All in all though it's just one ferry on one long convoluted route through the three docks.
