Snow white The one true thread

[header]The problem[/header]

Taking one look at the wild hunter sub-forum will have you notice something quite interesting....
http://i.imgur.com/4JYtbyS.png

Do you see it? I really hope you see it.
How many snow white threads do we need? It's all people asking the same question and the same people giving the same answers.
The problem is... they do not seem to stop. Hopefully this thread can help slow the amount of snow white threads.

[header]What is Snow White?[/header]
Snow white is one of 3 special jaguars you can get. The other 2 jaguars you can get are the Jaira and Armored Crimson. They're very much sought after due to the bonuses they give wild hunters, and getting one can be quite tricky sometimes.

[header]Snow White[/header]
To make this thread useful....
Yes, you can still get snow white. It spawns once every 60 hours after a server check or someone kills/catches it so it's hard to get... but yes, it exists.
It's in the same jaguar habitat where you acquire the basic jaguars... or the jaira. Check the channels frequently for the best results.

Tips:
>Check the jaguar habitat frequently. Do it early in the morning or late at night if you're in crowded servers... unless you're using my second tip you never know when one might
spawn.
>Use the 60 hour spawn time to tell you exactly when one will spawn. This only works after server checks, so keep that in mind. Write down when a server check ends... and add 60 hours to that. It definitely works and can be quite a useful strategy. (Credits go to @betaboi101 for making me realize I was being extremely vague in this post)
>Be patient... getting a snow white may happen on your first try, like it did for me... or it could take a far longer time than that. If you're having poor luck, pick up one of the many jairas and call it a day. You don't truly benefit from a snow white until 3rd job anyway, and jaira is far superior until then due to its increased speed.

[header]Armored Crimson[/header]
This is an interesting one as it is fairly new. It's more of a sidegrade to snow white as it's not outright better or worse than snow white.
Instead of giving stance like snow white, the crimson jag actually gives the rider 20% damage reduction and status resist.
It's extremely useful when bossing and for training at enemies that deal a ton of damage. I'm not sure on the spawn times for this one though, any help here would be appreciated.

[header]Jaira[/header]
Definitely still available. It spawns once every 12 hours(? correct if this is incorrect), and it can be useful till you get your hands on the trusty Snow White. Found in the... you guessed it, the same habitat where you get the basic jaguars and snow white.

[header]Which should I get?[/header]
Well, this is not so simply to answer anymore. The difference between these three is quite important.
Jaira has more movement speed and jump, whereas snow white provides some movement speed and 50% stance. This 50% stance is amazing because with the 3rd job skill Jaguar Boost you get a whopping 100% stance permanently as long as you're on your jaguar. This is insanely helpful, and with jaguar boost and feline berserk maxed you will surely be hitting cap speed even with snow white. Though, while it's easy to see that snow white is outright superior to the Jaira... one cannot say the same with the crimson jaguar. If you ever feel like you're in a situation where stance isnt as important and you're taking too much damage... opt for the crimson. If you dont feel like getting knocked around a lot then go snow white. It's all based on your situation really, and I love that. I'm a sucker for sidegrades.

TL;DR: Snow white and the Armored Crimson are the 2 jaguars you should be shooting for. They're both amazing but for different reasons. Be sure to find the right situations for both to maximize your utility as a wild hunter~!

[header]Helping out your fellow hunters[/header]
Also, if you recently caught/saw a snow white/jaira/crimson... it'd be nice if you would post when you saw if it was within a couple days. If you just caught it, again, this could be extremely useful information for other people.
So please post the times/server when you catch/see a snow white to assist others in acquiring theirs.

Layout is recommend as such:

Time: (Post the time and time zone, or just use basil time.... the more specific the better)
Date:
Server:
Channel:
Jaguar: Snow white or jaira

Also, use this thread to ask any questions on snow white you may have, or ask for help in getting one.
I really hope that this can help cut back on the snow white threads... but my hopes are not high.

I'm seeing a ton of snow white/jag threads popping up.
This thread no longer seems to be serving its purpose, I'm quite sad.

Incase anyone is wondering I will be later updating for info on the armored jaguar once I get some more info on it.
IOW: I don't really feel like researching for the info. If anyone wants to do it all for me and link me stuff that'd be great.
If not... then I'll get around to it myself.

[quote=Inferno99]I must be incredibly lucky, I didn't know snow white's were so rare. I got mine on the first try after I started looking for them in Renegades. Also, it was in the middle of the day!

Can someone tell me what stance does?[/quote]

It prevents knockback. So at 50% stance like that jag gives you have a 1/2 chance of not being kb'd.
At 100% stance like you have at 4th job... you never get knocked back now.

So after sc, would snow white be spawned on all channels?

[quote=wildnotguy]Honestly, I have the snow white (wasn't hard to find , I just CCed once) and I think jaira looks better because its dark black. I only have the snow white because it has better stance I think. TL;DR[/quote]

I actually prefer how snow white looks, but I can see why you'd prefer Jaira.
Maybe if Jaira had more glowing patterns I'd reconsider.
But yes, snow white is just overall better in basically every way.

I don't quite like the look of it honestly.
So, is it just the speed increase and stance boost? If so I have no need for it.

[quote=MuffinsINC]I think that's due to a few reasons all working together
1) there arent many wild hunters
2) Most people are looking for a snow white instead

So, the demand for jaira is quite low, and his spawn rate is a lot higher. Many people don't kill the jairas and just ignore them so maybe their spawn times just get synced up after a while? That's my guess.[/quote]

Snow white spawn time
7:39 AM Windia (EST)
4:39 AM (PST)

Once again, it was in every channel for me. So the second thing you said is probably wrong, or my previous idea that it was gltiched is probably right.

[quote=WindsOfTheSky]I noticed some wierd things about jaira. i think he appears in evey channel when he spawns, or at least most of them.

I had a strange feeling that I would find him so I woke up early today and the second I logged in, jaira appeared from the the boulders. I was pretty flippin exited so I caught it. Then, out of curiosity, I went to the next channel, 18 (caught the Jaira at 7:41 cc 17). What do you know, the jaira was there too. I kept ccing until channel 3 and guess what, he was there in every channel.

I don't see why they'd change it now, but if they do I'll just update the thread.
All the threads was just silly, it also made the wild hunter section look jumbled and chaotic. That's why I made this.

[quote=Laeciel]Is there a blue notice when Snow White appears?[/quote]

Yes. Way back when snow white first became available in the habitat is when I found mine, and the blue message was a bunch of upside down question marks. But now i've heard its been changed to say "Snow White has appeared from a valley" or something like that, so id keep an eye out for either.

But yeah... lack of info. That was my problem making this thread. I wanted to point out the hilarious number of threads, but I didnt want a pointless thread so I decided to add tips. Problem with that is there was so little useful info to add as it's pretty straightforward...

I made a Wild Hunter for the character card.

When I reached level 10 and went for my first jaguar, Jaira was there. Upon reaching level 60, I entered the jaguar breeding area and guess what? Both Jaira and Snow White were there.

Seriously, just channel hope until you find one.

Nice idea, but it really isn't necessary. People are just lazy to check everyday and at different times of the day for the White Jag.
Also people don't use the search function to see how often the spawn time is. EDIT: So they constantly make new threads.

[b] All in all, Don't be LAZY and search every ch every morning/night daily. If getting a Snow White Jag is important to you then you will do all of these. [/b]
