Okay, let’s talk about figuring out when that Boothill banner is actually dropping. It’s something I spent a bit of time on recently because, you know, gotta plan your pulls.
My Process for Tracking Down the Banner Info
So, the first thing I did, pretty standard stuff, was just pop open my browser. I typed in something simple like “boothill banner release date” or “when is boothill banner coming”. Just threw it into the search bar to see what popped up.
Right away, I got a whole bunch of results. Fan wikis, forums, some gaming news sites. Lots of people talking about it, that’s for sure. The thing is, a lot of the dates were just guesses or based on previous patterns. Some said “likely second half of patch X.Y”, others had specific dates but didn’t really show where they got them from. It was kinda all over the place. You see speculation, leaks mentioned here and there, but nothing rock solid, you know?
That’s usually how it goes. Early info is often just guesswork, good guesswork sometimes, but still. I learned a while back not to rely too much on those initial hits unless they point to something official. So, I decided to dig a bit deeper myself.
My next step was heading straight to the source. I went over to the official game’s website. Clicked around the news section, looked for any announcements about the upcoming version or special programs. Sometimes they drop hints or full schedules there. Scrolled through the posts, checked the banners on the homepage. Didn’t find an exact date pinned down right away.
Then I thought, okay, where else do they post stuff? Social media, obviously. I hopped onto their official channels, you know, the usual suspects like Twitter or whatever platform they use most actively. I started scrolling through their recent posts and announcements. This took a little while because you gotta sift through event reminders, character spotlights for current banners, all that jazz.
Eventually, I found what I was looking for. It was usually tied into the announcement for the next big version update stream. They often reveal the upcoming banners and their order during those live streams or in the summary posts afterwards. Found the post detailing the version update specifics. They laid out the timeline, showing which characters were coming in the first half and which in the second half of the patch.
So, while I didn’t find a single, standalone “Boothill Banner Starts On This Exact Day” post way in advance, I found the official confirmation of which phase of the upcoming patch he’d be in. By knowing the patch start date and that banners usually run for about three weeks, I could figure out the approximate timeframe for his banner start. It’s usually the second half, following the first character’s banner run.
It’s not always a perfect science until they make the super specific announcement closer to the date, but checking the official version update news and stream summaries? That’s been the most reliable way for me. Takes a bit of looking, but beats relying on random forum posts. That’s how I got the info pinned down, more or less. Just gotta wait for that specific date confirmation now, but at least I know the window.
