Pluto one question before I fill this out.....how do you want us to handle those rares that do not have lairs such as the Great Plains Stalker ?
Thanks ![]()
Lara,
Go ahead and list it if its solitary. Like the Thune Grassland Guardian. Although I saw a spawn of three the other day clumped together.
Name of rare hunted for: Mantigrue Screecher
Number of Lairs Search: about 7
Number of Babies Spawned: 1
Closest guess of total Parental types killed: 40
Number of Babies Tamed: 1
Whether the Mission can be found on Terminals: Yes
Server of CH character: Eclipse
Any sighting after server reboot: No
" "Before " shutdown: No
Best guess as to time of day you sighted any babies: Late at night
Lair resets: not sure what ya mean, so no
Have you ever been KS'd while sighting a baby: No,the friend I was hunting with knew what I was looking for.
Thanks Trando. I put what I actually meant rather than the shortcut.
But some have given accounts of seeing babies before shutdown only to not find them when the server rebooted. Some of these are more useful numbers than others but it is also something to point out that if they have a Bull Rancor baby spawn at 3:59 AM PST then it really is less than fair to count that as a reasonable spawn time.
Name of rare hunted for: Mantigrue Screecher
Number of Lairs Search:36
Number of Babies Spawned:2
Closest guess of total Parental types killed:300
Number of Babies Tamed:1
Whether the Mission can be found on Terminals:Yes
Server of CH character:Eclipse
Any sighting after server reboot:
" "Before " shutdown:Not me
Best guess as to time of day you sighted any babies:Midnight CT America, In game time Afternoon before Dusk
Have you ever been KS'd while sighting a baby:No

I'm not a Rares Collector either, but I have gotten one rare or two (the Rhoa Kwi guardian and Packleader) I'll insert as much data as I can remember.
Name of rare hunted for: Rhoa Kwi Packleader
Number of Lairs Search: 4 maybe 5, it took a while to deplete each lair
Number of Babies Spawned: saw 3 total I think.
Closest guess of total Parental types killed: 40
Number of Babies Tamed: 2
Whether the Mission can be found on Terminals: not sure, but I did this with wild spawns between the science outpost and the NSvs SMC battlefield on Dath.
Server of CH character: Bria
Any sighting after server reboot: I did this in one day, so no idea
Best guess as to time of day you sighted any babies: This was throughout the day, so I didn't see any correlation to time and baby spawns.
Lair resets: none, I was careful with the wild lairs and I emptied each one.
Have you ever been KS'd while sighting a baby: no, I was soloing them with my pets.
Name of rare hunted for: Rhoa Kwi Guardian
Number of Lairs Search: 5 maybe 6, it took a while to deplete each lair
Number of Babies Spawned: saw 4 at least
Closest guess of total Parental types killed: 40 (about the same number as packleaders since they were both in all lairs)
Number of Babies Tamed: 2
Whether the Mission can be found on Terminals: not sure, but I did this with wild spawns between the science outpost and the NSvs SMC battlefield on Dath.
Server of CH character: Bria
Any sighting after server reboot: I did this in one day, so no idea
Best guess as to time of day you sighted any babies: This was throughout the day, so I didn't see any correlation to time and baby spawns.
Lair resets: none, I was careful with the wild lairs and I emptied each one.
Have you ever been KS'd while sighting a baby: no, I was soloing them with my pets.
Note: at least 2 of the lairs also spawned Rhoa Kwis, which I didn't take into account. Also, I did these in one day, so the sightings before server shutdown and after reboot don't apply.
Pluto, what did you mean by" "Before " shutdown:? I don't think the others who posted got what this entry was for.

Hard numbers are good, and I'll keep an eye on this. Keep in mind, though, that you're going to need a huge data set in order to be statistically significant.
