Forge (Rare)

Forge (Rare) is the name of a non-playable character that constantly randomly moves from place to place. Forge (Rare) is his official name, though he's actually an Outfitters and not a Forge. He can be found on any continent in any moment of any Day, and there is no way to determine where he is going to spawn. He looks like a dark-skinned man with a red and black checkered hat and a rucksack on his back.

To trigger his appearance, the player must first reach Day 3 and have visited at least one Outfitters. Then, the game will run a spawn check every hour, using a probability cycle of 25%, then 50%, then 75%, and finally 100%. In other words, he is guaranteed to appear at least once every four hours. However he can appear on any continent, and in one of five places on each continent. Therefore, even if the player look for him during an hour when he is guaranteed to spawn, there is only a 5% chance that he will appear at any one location. To minimize frustration, the player should plan ahead and keep the necessary amount of gil to make as many purchases from him as possible whenever they run into him.
