Armorsmith Archive

Well I am personally torn on this subject. I sometimes get aggravated on how hard it is to get the drops for this armor. On the other hand I like it cause when I do get a loot drop for RIS is makes me feel like I am starting to accomplish something. Being a Master Armorsmith and being able to make this is the fun part. But getting the loot for it makes it a guild event for my guild. We go out on nightly hunts for these drops and have fun doing it. We get great xp especially from the gurk nests. Do I wish they would drop at a higher rate, yeah probably. But all I can say is at least they are dropping. I could just imagine some of us hunting for imaginary items that don't exist. That would really suck

Dirth...Which character are you using to kill the Kimo?

I think I can do it...swordsman's pretty tough.

The swordman. With buffs, brandy, muon, and 70% Ubese it's pretty easy. The only downside is that with all the disease the GDK's throw around you can only take down one or two before it's back to civilization for healing.

Sweet...I know what I'm doing tonight. If I get bored with the Kimos...head to Geonosian. A hammer rocks in there.

Bring a doctor and you can kill GDK's all night long. I have the best luck finding them by running back and forth between the gurk king static spawn and the volcano POI. You can also take out random gurk liars to see if they spawn a king. My drop rate on the random kings is about 1 in 5.

Well i decided to go for all 4 rare items about3 days ago when i looted the giant dune kimogila scales, i nowhave all 4 rare items, altough i'm combat orientated so it might have been a bit easier for me, but 3 days work for the 4 rares involved ain't bad, i mean it is meant to be a long term challange for you guys, otherwise it would'nt really be as interesting a topic now would it =)

First off, you are lucky to get one that quickly. Besides the gdk scale, the gurk hide is hard to get. 3 hours between spawns and only one at a time, argh. I've killed enough to say the drop rate is more like 1 in 30. I've put in several 9 hour days (3 kills) and gotten absolutely nothing.

Also, the giant dune kimo can be solod. Im a tkm /fencer and do it, although it takes 20 minutes to bring it down. This dang thing never drops any. Kill a albatross and you're almost guaranteed a feather. Albatross does need a group effort though.

Maybe if you stopped killing the static kimo and hunted for the random spawns one you would find it easier to get a gdk scale..

OK, quick question. Are the folks that are having a hard time getting GDK scales killing random or static spawns? From what I know of the gurk king loot, people who try to kill the static spawns get nothing while random spawns are dropping on average around one hide per five kings.

The point is, I just looted my first GDK scale off of my fifth kill. All five were random spawns. I'm hoping that the folks who are killing GDK after GDK are camping the static spawn and not out hunting the randoms.
