Give a shout when you nab one- let's make sure they're actually spawning babies again.

Just saw a static spawn of Rogue Bagers spawn a baby, so that's a good sign. Wild lair baby spawns are definetly up; I've been circling the GPS-belt and just tripping over baby carrions, wrixes, bagers, dallyrakes, etc.

Go to swgcreatures.com and look up the Great Plains Stalker. In the bottom right corner you'll see a box marked "Sightings." If you click on 'Corellia' it will give you a pop-up map that shows a pin in each place a GPS has been sighted. You'll obviously note all of the GPS sightings fall into a certain stretch of Corellia, the plains NE of Cnet. This is where the kitty will spawn.


Head into the area and hop on a mount (speeders tend to move past an area before creatures spawn, and you may end up leaving the spawn behind). Then just wander around. It seems like it's going to be a numbers game. When you're in an area you have a certain percentage chance to spawn a static spawn rather than a wild lair. Of those static spawns, you have a certain percentage chance that it will be a GPS spawn. Of THAT percentage is a chance the GPS that is spawned will be a baby.

Because it's rare, and it's big. I have a giant peko peko as well. It's only a 25, but it's big and is hard to get.

I finally found one of these while hunting this week....on TC-Bria


Hopefully, when TC Prime comes back up, I can find a giant peko peko again, with the increased spawn rates.

As a vet GPS hunter (I have 2) I really hope that we see some new tames soon. HOWEVER if the spawn cycle hasnt been changed since the CU (ie. only 1 random spawn before another critter pops) I am not sure how this is going to be possible.

This is something that all the rare hunters should keep a close eye on.

in the first couple months of the game i tamed a peko peko. i think it was level 32 or so. in my datapad, it showed as a square box and on all sides of the box it had a big red question mark and said "default appearance" meaning it had the wrong icon.


the red square would rotate around, like a six sided die...you could see the ? on all sides.


well with patch 21 my peko peko hatched out of the square box and now has the correct daapad icon. he also got bumped up to level 65 tho =) death from above! kinda....
