Try walking around outside player cities, that is usually where he will be found.

Well I do know you need toavoid riding around invechiclesas much as possible and stay away from Non player cities. I received my vist while in a player city waiting on a shuttle. There used to be a rumor that if you were in combat the old man wouldn't visit you butlater posts said this information was false and that they received their visit while in combat. So I don't know for sure. I do know he will show up eventually so don't get too depressed. You are almost there bro!


Good luck out there!

Different doesn't always mean better. Just something else to learn and do before you realize. Hey! This system stinks just like the old system! Dev's: Wait for the CU 2 to fix that.

Well if you really want a tip for the old man....


Get about 3 roundtrip tickets to PlayerCitys shuttleports...fly back and forth about 2-3 times....Log in/out every 5 mintues and watch TV...thats how he came to me

I had to sit still for about an hour before he showed up, that was after 2 hours of running around in circles around a player city on talus. taking shuttles didnt help, but he appeared about 23 hours after i finished my last branch. I dont know if being logged off will make it quicker or not, the first time it took 72 hours so depending on how many people on your server are waiting it may take longer. I think they limit the number of people that can do the quest at a time

Travelling from player city to player city by shuttle is usually a very good method to get him to appear.

another option might be to find a ranger to help you out..make a barter for free mind buff or something..a ranger can be helpfull, but certianly not necessary..i have tamed all the rares except the wild dune baor and NEVER had a ranger sucessfully track one down for me...if you keep doing what you are doing..you should be sucessfull...it may be a long time though, it took me a couple months of long, seemingly endless hunts

Yes ..... you are right about the tracking ... it helps somewhat, but i found most spawns by just running into them ....


I also use the clear area method, but what i do is pick a spot where i've seen severalspawns before, and only clear within a 300M radius. Last friday i forced 2 spawns after doing this for 2 hours ....and i ran into one yesterday while just driving around ...... all babyless ofcourse ....


Talking about malignant squill ..... i ran into a spawn the first time i ever went looking for it .... and the 2nd wave was a baby ..... but i'm punished for that by looking for a GPS for 3 months

Thanks a lot for the reassurance. I'll stick with what I have been doing. I may not be getting lucky with the GPS, but I managed to get another swamp stalker last night

IMO, the GPS is the rarest baby in the game (save for the wild dune boar and malignant squil maybe), since the spawn itself is rare, the baby spawn is even rarer, it doesn't have missions, and is only a single spawn creature with no lair. The Bull Rancor may be the rarest baby, but you can get missions for it, which cuts out like 99.9% of the hassle.


6 spawns in a week is a pretty good average, so don't feel like you are getting ripped off. At least you are finding the spawns. There are people that are still looking for the GPS since it came back into the game. Hopefully this was insightful somewhat. Good luck on your hunt.





wlaker is right, it's definately the rarest to spawn with out a lair..the squill i got on 5 total spawns, the gps over 40..the wbb just rarely spawns at all, but when it does, supposedly the odds of a baby are fair to decent, but i don't have one of those yet.....oh but walker i have to respectfully add, just because you can get missions has no bearing, necessicarily,on the baby..i did over 13 million credits worh of bull missions ( that's over 700 missions) and finally got my bull from a wild lair..but at leat with the bull hunt you are constantly doing something, and gaining xp,, if that matters


6 a weeks i also agree is not too bad..i think i did 46 in about 7-8 weeks, so that's about what i averaged as well..good luck with your hunt..

Yes, i also stick to my opinion that it's the wild lairs you really want for babies ..... i never had a baby from a mission lair ....only from wilds....

Yeah I've been grinding bull rancor missions while looking for a baby. I'm essentially killing two birds with one stone. That's the big difference for me.
