Do whales despawn like other smaller animals?
I managed to get my hands on a few boats during winter ^^ so I took the q100 Knarr and sent my miner scouting while waiting for mammoth respawns (miner and main on same acc... ) Actually found a whale quite quickly but it was pretty far out, decided to aggro it anyway and drive to some island, unfortunately it was faster than the Knarr xD and I also found out it can destroy Knarrs xD So I basically made it to the Island, without the Knarr. The whale deaggroed after destroying it and I relogged and Sailed over there with my Snekkja but couldn't find the whale anywhere. Just unlucky or do they despawn? And what quality Knarr would I need to build to outrun whales in very deep ocean? I'm trying to build a q250 Knarr but it will take a few more tree itterations to build, thinking of making a lower q throwaway Knarr for 2 weeks or something, obv higher than q100 xd
I observed that mammoths for example have varying speeds, some are slow af and some outrun horse speed 3. So maybe the answer is not that clear but any tips on how to not lose the Knarr would be appreciated xd
