With that, I feel fairly confident in saying the wyrm spawn times are generated with three random variants: every 470, 480, or 490 minutes. I don't think anything else is affecting it. Means creating a long-term forecast for hunting is probably impossible, but once you see a wyrm take to wing, you can know within a 20-minute margin when the next one will spawn, which helps a bit with planning a group hunt.

Most days will see three wyrms spawn, occasionally there might be four in one day as the timers organically shift within a 24-hour period due to variance.
