I'm looking to get a hydrus pet, I took a hiatus for a few years and now I can't find Merena quests... Have they been removed? If so, is there any other way to obtain a hydrus pet?

So Merana only shows up at certain times of the day/week! She was freed during a plot in 2016. She now roams the subeta map. There used to be a ping group to let people know when she had appeared, but I can't find it. Just check the subeta map occasionally throughout the day. I think she shows up for like 8 hours at a time?

Ohhh my lord I vaguely remember the event! I think I left not long afterwards... Thank you so much! I did have a search in the ping groups for Merena related tags but couldn't find much! Hopefully I'll find her soon :)

aaahhhh thank you! 😭
