He always appears just to the south of the main docks in Port Royal, on the beach closest to Fort Dundee in Padres del Fuego, and by the main docks in Tortuga.
Invasion times are random, initiated by the people who manage POTCO. They are more frequent on the weekends. I think we went almost two weeks without an invasion once. Lately we seem to be getting two or three invasions a day even on weekdays; I think this has to do with the increased pirate population of POTCO. Their location seems to be random; I've seen PdF invaded three times in a row, or each location invaded once in a day.
Invasions are always announced on the hour and happen on the half-hour. They usually take place at 6:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30 and 01:30 GMT, with the most common being 6:30, 11:30 and 01:30.
The invasions seem to be based on the strength of the number and level of the pirates defending. I once defended solo on a quiet server against an invasion. There were three brigades of undead with about a dozen in each wave, and I managed to take out JR by myself (after coming out of jail twice.) I've seen the end of small invasions in quieter servers, then hopped to popular servers where it's only just begun.
As a matter of interest, you get Rep points for reviving someone who has been knocked out in an invasion. If you're low-level, hang well back from JR and revive people, and you will be rewarded. I like to keep my dollie handy and immediately heal those I have revived so that they're not at close-to-zero hit points.
Get behind Jolly Roger, use a ranged weapon like musket, aimed pistol or staff, and stay just out of the range of his spells, and you'll get good rep when you attack and finally defeat him (with the help of others.)
