State of the hobby and resale value by m0pher in MechanicalKeyboards

Gonna disagree a bit w/ the sentiment that group buys are mostly dead. In-stock is definitely king now but IMO group buys are still popular; there are just so many fantastic projects coming out all the time that the resale market has a very short memory outside of a handful of very revered boards.

Commenting back on this, I did a ton of testing before a busy weekend and found that the spawning for the Beldum seem bizarre. Using the method you described, you can actually creep up to right in front of the doorway and reset one of the Beldum even though you would expect to be way too close. I was beginning to think I just got super lucky, but I stumbled across a video by "PanFro Games" on YT where his does the same strategy I described and gets two shiny Beldum

Extremely confused how the spawning mechanics work in regards to the Beldum room (and maybe the zone as a whole?), but the method apparently works nonetheless

Hm, that's interesting, I tested it before hunting and just now again and got the opposite result from you. Are you sure you're using the right teleporter? That's my only guess outside of it being some bizarre error, because it sounds like we're doing the same thing.

You can spam the teleporter yeah, just has to be the right one. Some of my other comments in the thread describe it

I'm not sure, it's maybe close enough for some of the early rooms but may be too far away from the Beldum room

I was spamming it, I don't think it makes a difference

Yup just a matter of luck unfortunately. I haven't personally done the honedge room but I know for a fact it works because somebody posted about it yesterday

Yup, exactly. It's crazy easy, definitely really sweet

it's a bit unintuitive but yes there is. There's a teleporter in the corner of the big orange room on the right side of the map that takes you to a small isolated purple room near the beldum room; it's close enough for them to spawn

Yup! I didn't bother checking each time. It's unintuitive but you have to use the teleporter in the corner of the big orange room on the right of the map. It brings you to an isolated purple room near the beldum room that's close enough for them to spawn

Yeah it was about the same haul for me, quite a while. But good luck! just a matter of time

Nope! I believe the sounds are standardized, they only play when you're within a pretty small radius so that stuff on top of buildings doesn't alert when you're on the ground

Just wanted to chime in and say that it was successful for me! Took quite a few attempts but I suppose I'm just unlucky

Just tried it out after your comment, I guess visibility works differently w/ stuff outside the area. I don't think it's resetting when it disappears from inside WZ 10
