How long does it usually take for the Others to come outside of the post-Targaryen starts?

There is no set date for it to trigger it has a MTTH of 100 years. The only exception to that is if you start in ACOK or AFFC where it is already under way.

Yeah, I went into the files and checked - it looks like it's actually a MTTH of 100 years as long as the top 3 northmost provinces have harsh winter, so it should take somewhat longer than 100 on average due to summers.

Is it only triggered strictly at the beginning of ACOK or AFFC? If I start in 298, while ned is still alive, will the Others then be tied to the 100 year MTTH event?

As I said it is only directly triggered during ACOK and AFFC otherwise it just follows the usual MTTH
