Given the facts of no repop prior 24:08 hours, no repop past 27:38, we are so far into a 3hours 30minutes maximun window, within a 19 sample size timers.
The common knowledge about respawn windows would make us think that a mob with a 24 hours window, who could respawn at +3:30 hours after last spawn could also respawn at -3:30 hours from last spawn.
In this particular case, we have so far a consecutive 19 size sample on which there are 0 negative windows based on the 24 hours mark. The chance, under normal conditions, for this streak would be lower than 0,0002%, which seems fair enough to certify, his respawn time is not based into a 24 hour time.
With the current data info recolected so far, rounding up and down, the estimated guess for "a shady goblin" respawn and window would be of 25:50 hours +-1hour 50minutes.
That estimation would cover from the 24:00 mark (8 minutes less than the shortest window so far) and 27:30 mark (current longest window so far).
The estimation though, is getting close to a point on which it, following a round numbers logic, the 26 +-2 hours window starts to get weight.
The slightly over 24 hours window creates a situation and a window which keeps moving daily through the time, allowing roll to happen in good time frame for all time zones through the days.
