HOBOWARS - The Claw Machine

Marc's Claw Machine Guide (To Finding Faberge Eggs!)

The claw machine pays out eggs and toothpuffs at set locations each hour of each day. These locations update arbitrarily based on certain formulas and patterns, as below.

How it works:
Find the X coordinate first, this updates every day on the main (pm) reset, so you only need to find it once a day. Then you find the Y coordinates. The Y coordinates change every hour on the hour, but they've been mapped out in a chart so you always know which ones to use.

Once you've got your coordinates, spam all your T at the machine, then thank me later for the eggs you'll find!

Finding the X Coordinates:
X coordinate data (facebook version, tracker only):
Aug 20 - 35
Aug 21 - 62, 58, 94
Aug 22 - 21, 41, 93
Aug 23 - 84
Aug 24 - 51
Aug 25 - 50, 90
Aug 26 - 57, 49
Aug 27 - 89
Aug 28 - 88
Aug 29 - 87
Aug 30 - 54
Aug 31 - 53
Sep 1 - 76

Sep 2 - 79
Sep 3 - 78? <- Today's X Coordinate

X coordinates seem to be on a diminishing formula. X1 - 1 = X2. This is not ENTIRELY accurate, but if you don't know the coords, try one below yesterday as a good starting point.

X coordinates reset every day on the main reset (midnight hobotime). Number sequence cycle (# of days) is unknown as yet.

Finding the Y Coordinates:

The Y coordinates have been tracked fully, and are listed below. Just use the coordinates for the hour (hobotime) that you're in. There are 3 sets, all valid, if one set is paying out fairly slowly just try another set.

Time - Y Coordinates:
(For both AM and PM)
12 - 33 55 77
1 - 34 56 78
2 - 35 57 79
3 - 36 58 80(?)
4 - 33 55 77
5 - 34 56 78
6 - 35 57 79
7 - 36 58 80(?)
8 - 33 55 77
9 - 34 56 78
10 - 35 57 79
11 - 36 58 80(?)

Y coordinates reset every hour on the hour, with the number sequence cycling every 4 hours.

This guide is, as yet, incomplete. Anyone with more insight to the way this works, shoot me a mail so that we can share data.

edit: added X coordinate formula.
edit: minor changes
edit: updated X coordinates information, updated formatting.

brilliant, but you should bloody update it!
