King merek is at 3892,5783


It's worth checking out just to see it, but it's actually a fairly lousy place to get dna from. This is because the king merek is not particularly great dna, and since there is a bazillion merek harvesters there, you'll have mask scent issues.

My husband insisted that there was a thread a couple of months ago thatsaid where the BMB static spawn was....I did a search and found a thread stating that the BMB spawn is at 4198, -1719 which is about 6000 meters from the Smuggler Outpost. I went to this location and sure enough, plenty of BMBs (no queens though). I don't know how consistent this is or if it was dumb luck, but worth a try...


Thought people might be interested in that bit of info.








Yes, that is the static BMB spawn. Isn't always the greatest because one agro and they all kill each other. But its reliable enough and beats searching for lairs. Respawn time is about 2 - 3 hours I think, haven't really sat by and timed it.

Actually my wife (who posted this thread originally) picked up 34 samples from that static spawn. I'd say it's pretty darn good.

The mites on Dathomir are Shear Mites.

34 samples off 6 BMB is damn good, I feel lucky if I get over 2 samples off each. But it seems that with each static spawn of a creature who has an AoE attack has problems. If you're lucky they won't bother each other but like I said before, most of the time they just end up killing each other. Could just be my immense bad luck with sampling though.

Another problem with the Static Merek site. If you (or a desert squill, or hanadak drifter, etc...) get the King PO'd he will use an area effect attack that torques off all of the regular Merek Harvestors and they will sit around and kill each other for about 15 minutes. Then you can go sample the last one..... Long respawn wait too....

Here's a link to the original post, theres some other info there: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bio-engineer&message.id=56038&highlight=#M56038


BMBs, BMBQs, and Merek Harvesters can be found regularly if you leave shuttleport and head to the Jinda Cave(POI). Search in about a 500m-1000m range and you'll find them.

I'm 95% sure that SOE nerfed AE mobs a couple months ago.........I haven't seen any rancor mosh pits or any mobs going into a frenzy on each other since a patch a while back. I believe there was something confusedly worded in the patch notes regarding it, but I'm too lazy to go look for it right now.
