go to swgcreatures.com and search for them and look at the "sightings" section. Then patrol that area. Always works for me.


I was lucky and found two BMB / BMBQ spawns within 500m of each other the other day and loaded up on both. Now, what to do with them?


Arthur, while you can unlock very high dollar bark mite burrower lair missions, I've yet to see a time when these contained Bark Bite Burrowers or Queens. They normally only product Bark Mite Burrower Workers etc. Use with caution / Individual results may vary.

I'm the one who added the sightings to the site for these guys


But since the last patch, I've had a very tough time finding them... last 2 times I found a spawn, it was in the last 15 min before the early morning shut down...


Instead of bark mite burrowers and their queens, I'm seeing alot of hanadaks in the area. And I've never been able to get a bark mite burrower, or a queen from a mission.

Hi NancyJ,


we're on the same server. Ive posted some sightings on swgcreatures and normally they are a guide to sweep those points. that whole hill region west of smugglers outpost is normally where they can be found. There is also an imp facility somewhere in the middle where you can park your bike and log out safely. when you log back in, you dont need a camp to call your bike again (Just incase you need to be there for more than a day)


If you're speeding along, you might need to slow down a bit to give the nests time to spawn. There have been days where i have literally spent 2 hours scanning the entire area to find nothing but that only happens maybe once out of every 5 expeditions to get BMB and BMBQ dna.

Ranger track doesnt really work either because the nests need to spawn before it shows up on the track. If no one has been in that area to force spawn these nests, it just wont show. One min the track report can say ziltch, then suddenly after walking10m, a nest spawns infront of you.

You need to get your group level up high enough to pull the right missions. With difficulty level 73, which may be a lot more then is needed, I can pull 23600 credit Bark Mite Burrower missions and they spawn 2 bark mite burrowers per lair.

They most certainly are found near the smugglers outpost... bark mites like hillsides... smugglers outpost is right next to a mountain.. keep circling around those hills... you'll find them eventually... while your looking I suggest you keep an eye out for some High lvl Mereks too.

A few nights ago, I went to Endor to get some DNA samples. I must've been the luckiest BE in the galaxy. I pulled Bark Mite missions, knowing that I wouldn't find burrowers or Queens in that lair, but maybe I'd find another lair nearby. Boy, did I ever! I hopped on my bike and zoomed out to the location of the first lair and JACKPOT! With my radar set at 128m, there were TWO lairs with BMB and a Queen, and two Merek lairs with a Death's Head each. After sampling them all to death, I found another BMB/Queen lair and another couple MDHs about 250m away. Filled up my inventory and backpack in about an hour. I just headed west out of the Smuggler's Outpost, and I've never had trouble finding them before. This last time was just ridiculous.

grouped with a guildmate and her alt she had her 2 pets called not sure their cl level but then grouped with a fellow be and too dif 89 24k bmb lairs to the east(seems to be the safest dir) it contained 2 workers which have kinda decent dna and 2 bmbs(no queens) i had to pick them all off since my friend was only 4/4/3/4 and i was 2/1/4/1 so i got all their dna while he did venom filled arachnes(love this dna i can almost always make a strong poison pet) you just gotta make sure its a super high mission dif if your gonna do missions best bet is prob to group with 2 or 3 chs with high level pets and goto endor your self



hope this helps

How can I find these pesky critters? I've been all over endor with a ranger and we cant find any - the missions I get for bark mite borrower lairs are all drones - I'm totally at a loss

I found them west and sometimes northwest of the smuggler outpost. Normaly they are, for me, about 200-1.5km away from the smuggler outpost. Also seems like a ton of mereks spawn there too.
