Anyone know of a good source for the time it takes to extract a monster?

I too would love to know this because it does not seem to be a uniform time based on rarity and level.

EXACTLY! I went looking into and recording just rares:
Bonticore 30m
Rhodent 30m
Most others rares 8h
Hedgy 9h
Pulseprism 23h?
Eggknock 1d2h?

When I get around to them, I will update this thread. Epics tend to be longer, but I think the Dragonian Beast is pretty short?

I wish

Are they lvl 1? I think that matters too

I don't think it matters what level they are, but I am not certain about that. The times that I gave were all based on recent extractions of fully leveled rank 0 monsters.

I think they do matter, my times change based on whether they are level 1 or full level. I am not sure what it is with other levels but I only extract at full level or first level. Unfortunately I have not been keeping track of any of the times.

According to the wiki, each level you feed increases extract time by 2 minutes.

Thanks for pointing that out Bruce! Now if we only knew the base amount, we would be set.

There is no set base time. Thunderon takes two hours, Komocat takes about 20 seconds. Both rares.

Let’s generate a list ourselves. Starting from rares and then epics.

Which brings me back to the original post. Maybe we could compile a list of know times in this thread. I would then be willing to create a final list for the community.

We must have been typing at the same time.

@Kaiju yeah I was thinking the same

At little more information here. See also the post https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/4466/extraction-times-and-rank-up-times/6

In particular, there is a comment by Wazdog that let's you figure out any times before you do it. So with that in mind, I have created a list. Here is my beginning. Feel free to comment here if you have anything new to add an maybe once per month I will repost the list.

Freettle takes 1 min 30seconds, Hedgy and Eggknock takes 6 hours 30 mins. All of them at level 1.

Genie takes 4 hours+ at level 7.

Thanks, but my preference would be to only track the time it takes at level 1 or their max level.

LOL already moved it over....

If I remember correctly everything after chill bill increased in extraction times prior to him a legendary would extract in 16 hrs or so from him forward it went to 1 day plus. As far as epics go I believe they are all the same time now across the board but for c,us and rare the metal take longer than the others

@Grim-Asylum last time I extracted Dragonian Beast it was I believe an halve hour so the timing has something to do with (old) breed/hatch times

@Marianne-van-Es I thought the formula is half of hatching time plus 5 minutes per level?

@Lin-Mei said in Extract Time:

Not sure about that. The Wiki says that the Hatching time for Evaranea, Pyrotech, Rock Druid 1d13h, but when I looked the extraction time is 9h15m.

@Kaiju i think that's because the extract time is based on the old hatch times, pre every epic has the same hatch time

@Lin-Mei said in Extract Time:

I just hatched 2 totem @ 2 days 2 hrs for hatch and it will take 1 day 4 hrs to extract at lvl 100 and 1 day 1 hr at lvl 1. The formula seems to be half the hatching time plus 1.8 minutes per lvl for legendary

@Grim-Asylum this was the original formula when the lab was introduced. After some time, some monsters received a discount. The shortest extract time for Lvl 100 legendaries is 16 hrs and then there is another around 22 hrs and then the full extract time of 1d 4hrs for some, but there isn't a list anywhere that tells you which legendaries have a reduced extraction time and whether it is the short or mid-length extraction time!

Most of us just use one of the other pods to check the extraction & ranking times (never the free pod) of a given monster...think it's faster
