Ok well avoiding the Flame thread..... Me and Grambacca have a story.


Last night HE sends me a telll that he is on endor looking for stoneskin and queens. So I decided I would go help him.


I sware we found like 100 stonseksin spawns (and gorax) And plenty of queen spawns... however no babies.


So I tell him before we log I will head north and look for a merek king or queen harvester, he says ok ill make one more round. Well to my suprise I am strating to run into a massive amounts of spawns and different creatures the I have never seen or recognized cause they werent tamable. So I call him there and we begin trailing massive amounts of spawns like kids ina candy store, looking for babies of all these tamable critters. We found Acient Stoneskins level 40, (guarded stance L2)


I got a Elder Hanadak Matriarch baby sitting in my Data Pad now with a special (i cant remember) Took me about 6 hours last night to spawn a baby elder... they are as big as stoneskin but level 38.


I also ran into the biggest Bordoks I have ever seen called Bordok Acients.. they are HUGE.. and tamable.. so trailing the spawn over and over I finally got a baby to pop (the acient is a herd spawn, no lair) like 6 tried later with massive amounts of clothes on and the works, I tamed it.. Level 50.. but no Special... however it is pretty strong and has much higher ham then my great plains stalker and other level 50 pets. I was happy


I also ran into something I had never seen before, Highland Remmers... boy those were tough, level 58 with ranged attack.. took me FORVEVER of killing them and trailing to spawn a baby from one of the 2 lairs i came across, (my other friend blew up the other lair) Finally poof just out of the blue 2 babies outside it. One took about 15 min. to tame cause it kept agroing me (at level 58?!) but that one had no special. The other however came with Hunted Withdrawl L2. They are strnog as heck and I am not kidding. One is for Grambacca cause he had to log and I gave the other to my other friend.


I also got a wild Herd of Bordoks with a Herd Master in it.. (2 mares nad a herd master, no lair) That took a while to pop a baby as well. I gave that to my other friend too, cause I got the acient who I was fighitng with.


I also gave grambacca my old deaths head to hold onto cause we each found a baby that night too, I got my Deaths head with Bleeding Attack L2 and His had umm panaicked rage L2 or something, he willhave to say I dont remember...


Never found a Queen or King merek except at the Static king spawn... Never popped a baby Bloodseeker Mite queen (we didnt try that hard) and none of those 100 stoneskin spawns popped a baby.


So With My new Acient Bordok who is gunna be the size of a hummer, My Elder Hanadak Matriarch, and A Highland Remmer in my datapad waiting for grambacca, I as am happy as a school boy hiding in the girls locker room. Plus my new Deaths Head came with a special, but my old one is too unique to delete so someone has to hold him.


I ended the night trailing a Blurrg Raptor spawn I my friend found, but hey 2 hours later and nuthing I went to bed. WHAT A NIGHT!

Yessir Me an Archiie have a great time taming critters!


And Arch is remembering correctly...my MDH had Panicked Rage L2. I had acreature in my datapad that also had PRL2 but the MDH was less xp per training rollover so I deleted the other pet and kept the MDH.


Glad you were finally able to get that Elder Matriarch baby Arch!! That's great!!


As he said the Bordok Ancients are huge! Bigger than Thunes! I just wist that they were mount trainable, being a horse and all as they are!!! Now That would be a cool pet to have!


LOL I'd like to see one of these things with Fleefooted L3 running along beside my Swoop!! Man talk about ground pounding!! They shake the screen when they sit down for pete's sake!!!


I gave up at 1am cause I am a working man and had to be up at 6am to head off to work. Arch must have been up all night from the sounds of it LOL!!!


I gotta get out and train up all the pets in my pad that have L2 abilities so I can let some of them go to make room for tames I want to keep.


So many frigin choices now and so hard to get some of the creatures you want to spawn a baby. Take a LOT of dedicated work BUT it's doable and that's the important part. There are some freaky critters out there that will make some really nice pets. Go get em gang!!



Edited to add that I also tamed a Frenzied Boar Wolf that had Marring Storm L3!!!

Nice catch man, I spent maybe 2 and 1/2 hours looking for a stonseksin today, no luck. Maybe tomorrow will be better for me LOL

Server resets always bring more spawns. It seems the more wild spawns destroyed, the less that spawn back.


Not fact, just my observation



- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.

trust me, guys.. head out to the very north of endor, where the sand is, then head a little east. there will be like a mountainy/hilly area with grass, yet its sand, there you will find some nice pets... it IS known as the hanadak area, but its got alot of Mereks, BSM queens, Stoneskins, Bordoks, and well.. hanadaks, and Mantigrue deranged/hunters/nightstalkers, and lots of boar wolves. I love my Acient Bordok yay! I dunno what to name him.. and now I have 2 different hanadaks, stoneskin and elder... god I love how we can explore in galaxies, and I hate how kashyyyk and soon Mustafar kinda take that original feel away.

If you're looking for king and queen mereks, don't do what I did and wander the desert for days on end looking for them. Though mereks in general do spawn in the area, like many endor creatures, only certain particular ones spawn in particular areas.

On Endor-

Most types of Arachne spawn everywhere, however if you are looking for webmasters, widows and queens, the best area I've found for them is east of the research outpost

Stoneskin Hanadaks, I've not seen them anywhere else other than the desert area. You will occasionnally find them in the mountain area north of the desert. You'll also notice they often tend to spawn quite near gorax and/or bloodseeker mite queen/guardians. Often if you run into a gorax, there'll be a stoneskin less than 300m away.

Plain old gurrecks are still eluding me but I have seen them on track 2km NW of the science outpost and along the edges of the desert area.

King Merek Harvester, Queen Merek Harvesters and Blood Drenched Merek King lairs are almost exclusively found on the west side of the endor map. People have suggested looking in the grassy area NW of the smuggler outpost for them. But the best area I found is 5km far SW of the smuggler outpost around the maurader poi, this is an consistent old spawn area for mereks, if you're an old CH. After several restarts on Test Center I can quite consistently find over a dozen king/queen merek harvester lairs and maybe around half a dozen blood drenched king merek lairs. For some reason these guys no longer spawn around the research outpost like they used to.

Each of these pets will require a lot of patience to get. Stoneskin and the gurreck like any non lair creature, you've just gotta be lucky. The Mereks, the problem is they often share the lair with more common merek types which can be an absolute pain in the bum to get the one you want to spawn a baby. Arachne, same deal as with the mereks.

Oh and one final tip, don't damage any lair more than a single tap on each visit, you do not want to cause the second respawn of any lair to occur, this seems to have an annoying habit of causing the lair in question to simply dissappear after a few hours. Especially so if you have a uncommon/rare lair type such as those for bloodseeker queens, Blood Drenched King Merek or Bull rancors (on dathomir)

Hope this helps for your next visit to the planet

GREAT info man... unfortuanatly.. I own (and owned) all the Arachnes andpre-cu rares (except the damn wormed vrobal), but I never got my hands on a merek king or queen harvester baby before they went extinct.. I do know where they spawn and I have been lookin but I rememberd the old static spawns in the north and went to go check it out, thats when I ran into the other stuff.


Yeah mereks are a pain to find, I spent all morning at the location you mentioned and found no merek lairs, only wild lairless spawns of others. I will keep looking though.


You forgot to mention you can find arachne widows and queens very south of the research outpost. They spawn from the same lair usually, 1 queen 2 or 3 widows. Sadly the widow isnt very rare anymore. And the queen isnt that impressive. But I cant delte my widow, The one I have now actually orginially belonged to my old Friend Crim who is a jedi now.


Also the Blurrg Raptor on Endor is found wondering around close by the Research outpost, usually a lilttle north or east, around the big lake.

Here's the
Link
to taming the king and queen mereks with screenshots. You can see the locations people are finding them from the screenies.

The problem with statics is I don't think they're done in such a way to see a baby spawn instead of an adult. I could be wrong but I don't know anyone who has ever seen a static baby spawn

Unless the recent baby code changed things, static spawns never have babies. I would love it if they did since there are serveral nice "tamable: yes" creatures that are static spawns only.

(I mean true static spawns, too, not single dynamic spawns.)

Very cool! I'm still looking for a bloodseeker queen, I've logged about 26 hours into tapping lairs trying for one, I spent4 hours one day on the same lair with no luck so maybe I'll go back out and try after this latest publish.
