Sure, you have a very small window of the one hour between dusk and darkness. Wear a white hat and green boots and there must be cow-print on at least one of your clothes (hence you get the Leavitt Jacket from PS+, the green boots from Moonshiner Rank 3 and the Mescano Hat in your wardrobe). 

Don't ride a chestnut coat horse, else it won't work.

I rode around cumberland forest for an hour...could not get it to spawn.  I was attacked by wolves several times.  Do wolf attacks act as a reset on random events? 

 

I had a moonshiner random event where I had to burn down the tobacco fields.  I guess maybe its supposed to be corn.  Nice touch on this event although duplicative.

I have played several hours today and im getting zero random events no escorts, no ambushes, no treasure hunters selling maps, no dogs who seems to have a knack of sniffing out Absinth, no enemy camps and certainly no moonshine random events. Game is still as knackered as it was over christmas and new year.

Found it in this lobby earlier, during day.

 

Don't know if people are just generally distrustful but the thread is genuine (EDIT)  I am not willing to sit on this lobby all night waiting for a reply as it is a game changing lobby given the wy the game is at the moment.

 

Its the first time |I have been able to get Cripps filled up in weeks (since the business drops basically).

 

You want it? Take it.  Not spending all night on here and it will be wasted!!

Didn't have any luck today, but I never see any white dot things unless it's a private lobby.

 

Did everyone who got it do a moonshine sell beforehand?

Not done a sell mission beforehand, but a roadblock spawned near me spontaneously while I sat idle at my camp before the moonshiner's camp spawned.

Still been searching for several hours, should be about over 10 hours by now (I did go to bed eventually but I've been searching for a long time before then. I still have yet to get it to pop. Does anyone know if the locations outside the forest do pop for the event? I've only been searching the areas around the forest.

Can confirm, you can get events during missions but you cannot complete them. For example, very often I have seen a rescue event spawn when doing a sale or bootlegger mission but after cutting loose a hogtied stranger the stranger just stands up and walks away.

They do that even when you're not doing anything else. I don't waste my time with them. No money or anything.

Maybe a dumb question. But I have a friend who already got it. I've been searching for almost 24 hours and he's trying to help me. Will he still be able to see the smoke or white dot even though he already got it?

I got my recipe just under the E in BLUE Water Marsh.

Okay, I just wanted to be sure because everyone I've seen that found it, found it in the forest. I've been searching there too and just cannot seem to find it. Unless there is an easy quick way to get into a solo lobby I'm not going to seeing how people have found it in full lobbies. On top of that I made sure to do at least 1 sell mission, bootlegger mission, and even a story mission just to be sure the time was set right. Me and a friend keep thinking the empty roundabouts and hideouts are maybe the reason it's not spawning. Its just dumb I have been searching this for about 24 hours and I still can't seem to find it.

I wonder if this moonshiner event occurs just once per character/account for you to loot the recipe, or that it will keep spawning all the time, with nothing to loot.

Try completing another delivery and then avoiding any other moonshine activity for a half hour before looking for the white dot event. It was probably just a coincidence, but it seemed to work for me. It had been a long time since I had seen any moonshiner activities so I decided to try resetting my cooldown again.

I have them marked as well. But I'm just about to get my shine ready to sell then once I sell that I'll go to my camp and wait 30 minutes then start hunting again.

I sat idle in my camp in Cumberland Forest when a red area surfaced, like a hideout, but the icon was a red still. It was a revenue agents roadblock I had to clear. After doing this, I went back to my camp, replenished resources and decided to check the spawnpoints right away and not wait 30 minutes. Within 5 minutes, a camp spawned. So, the 30 minute cooldown is not an absolute. I think it's more like 1 to 30 minutes.

Is this the first time you had it spawn? I know you basically asked the same question I had earlier about my friend trying to help me out. Will he still be able to see it trying to help me, or am I on my own?

I had it spawn only once so far and I'm curious to know if it can spawn a second time, since it's a moonshine related recipe event. Once you have it, what's the use for another?

@Fun 2 After doing a bootlegger mission for Maggie you get a cooldown ofcourse, but do you also get a cooldown on the random encounter versions of the bootlegger missions?

I noticed that if you get the random encounter bootlegger missions, you also get the cooldown. Atleast it seemed very much like it.

That sucks, I was hoping I could beat the cooldown so I could get this gold award for a 100 missions faster.

It's 30 minutes cooldown, but I'm not sure if it's for the same type of event you have done for all events.

I mean for the random encounter version of the bootlegger missions Maggie gives you, because there's an award to do a 100 of them, and there's a 10 min cooldown after one, I was just wondering if I could encounter them during those 10 minutes.

Got mine today after quite a bit of waiting. The one on the border of Roanoke and Bluewater Marsh.

I was thinking it's a double whammy wait, seeing if the escort and/or the camp would spawn.

Gang hideout spawned at an unusual time 10am so I cleared that, then around 9pm the escort lady finally showed up but it was an ambush which I cleared. Then I believe it was about 2am when I finally saw the smoke from the moonshiner camp.

It's funny how you find things when you stop looking. I was actually riding up and down the known spots for hours with no luck, then I finally said to hell with it. Started doing some hunting and was chasing a raccoon for today's daily and ran up right on one of the camps. I didn't even notice the smoke because I was too focused on the raccoon. So thank you Mr. Raccoon for dying and for leading me to the recipe.

Got it this morning.

 

Started the game with the spawn in camp option, loaded into Big Valley with my camp right next to the moonshine camp spawn point near Hanging Dog Ranch, killed a lone deer and the camp smoke and white blip appeared immediately.

I found it in cumberland forest.  I am glad to be out of the areas.  I prefer West Eliz.  One thing, I noticed trying to complete this.  I have been able to reliably get a solo session.  What I do is 1) go to shack 2) start a special moonshine 3)start a bootlegger 4) in a solo lobby...sometimes it will hold for hours.  I have found the fast traveling will break you out sometimes of the solo lobby.
