Thread: Gurk King
Actually, they're not so camped. I'm on Bria, i've managed to kill the king 4 out of 5 times i've gone there in a day or so. Best bet is right after reboot or early weekend hours. Good Luck on looting the hide though. That in itself is a annoyance factor i wish SOE would fix somewhat.
Boss level creatures seem to pop from lairs when you kill th first round of critters, pop the lair once, kill the second round, and focus fire on the lair. I have seen right before the lair goes pop while the other critters are trying to heal it the boss will spawn..
Aggrivated Kadoo Stomper
Some really big aggro bollie
King Gurks
Etc
If the lair has feral gurks it will spawn a king gurk after the second pop.
Over parts of the last 3 days I've been hunting Gurk Kings. Of the 11 that I've killed, not a one has dropped a famed hide. Other players I've run in to camping the hut spots have told me they've found 1 or 2 hides in a day, after only 4 or 5 kills. Just curious if anyone else is having as many problems as I am? Maybe only at specific times do the drops occur?
The only good things that've come from this so far are the fact I've harvested thousands upon thousands units of meat, know all the good spots to find kimos now, and mastered TKA on this undertaking. These things are great, but I'm really only after the hide...LOL
I've done a decent amount of research on this and what I've come across is:
1) Thus far, NO mission gurk quests will spawn the king.
2) For the King to spawn, 2 feral gurks must be present.

Mission lairs DO spawn gurk kings. I've done it on several occassions. For some reason, if you're running the missions in the north, they seem less likely to generate a king. Lairs with multiple feral gurks are more likely to have boss creatures - though not necessarily a king. There are also shaggy youth and gurk destroyers. Beware, these guys pack a punch.
I don't know if this is a hard and fast rule, but my experience has been that I've gotten absolutely NO gurk king hides from kings that came from lairs. Only the ones from the spawn points.
