Yesterday I decided I would start looking for rares, top of my list 'Great Plains Stalker'. Corellia, cheap travel, nothing hugely deadly to bother me sounds great. I started at 2pm GMT and went straight north of Coronet. When looking for spawns I set an area using 4 waypoints to create a boundery box, then inside the box set other waypoint at areas i'm drawn to on the map. This sounds silly i know...and yes i'm getting to the sad part.


At 3pm I was flying around on my swoop getting bored, thinking of giving up (never did have much patience) when on the radar a single red dot, nothing around it for 256m, i turn towards it and press tab. 'Great Plains Stalker'...WOOHOO jackpot! Sad bits coming.


I kill it and hope that a baby spawns...it's another adult oh well, i kill that too. While waiting for the third spawn some wrix appear behind me, one mottled which agros me as i fire the other all wun over for a bite of my legs too. Not being buffed my health starts to drop so using PointBlankArea i begin to dispense the Wrix' then on the second PointBlankArea (sad bit now) a 'Great Plains Stalker (baby) spawns. There i am PointBlankArea-ing and what gets caught in the shot...the baby.


I stood and watched the baby corpse vanish and another adult spawn. I killed it and waited patiently but nothing else came...at this point I wanted to cry like a big girls blouse, but kept my composure and reflected on what had happened...and now i need a new mobile phone and someone to re plaster my wall. After my girlfriend had forced me to clean up i got back on my swoop and began my search again.


After reading the rariety of the GPS's i thought that was my chance, my one chance and i blew it! A guild member said they have been looking for ages and never seen an adult, let alone a baby...as if i don't feel bad enough already. Needless to say i kept looking all night, but to my surprise i managed to find a furthur 2 GPS spawns...no babies but all in all, aside from the baby killing i was happy that they weren't impossible to locate like i had been led to believe. Yesterday i killed 11 adult Great Plains Stalkers and 1 baby...


Today i picked up the search and have located another spawn, killed 4 adults again...no baby.


So in all i've killed 15 adults to 1 baby (am i lucky or unlucky?)...in 2 days...and made myself feel stupid in the process, but i was has anyone else done anything this stupid or just me? You may now flame or do whatever you wish...thankyou for your time.

I laughed at loud at the plaster and phone part.


I'm sure you can't getmission for a GPS. My suggestion is to keep what you are doing. Do GPS even spawn a lair? Find a lair and tap it until a baby tumbles out.

something similar happened to me today, except it was while hunting for a baby Giant Gackle Bat, they arent that rare, but for my ch lvl they are rather impressive anyhoo, i was using a lvl 10 bio-pet with 59%kin resists as a tanker for getting better ch xp, when a baby finally poped out of a lair, but my pet started biting it, so i did something that was hard for me to do, I deleted him! had

to, i spent an hour and a half pestering giant gackler bats looking for a baby, and my own pet attacks it.

i have another ch10 ch tank, but i'll miss the cute hissing sounds my dune lizard made when he would attack...

well i spent a long time killing normal gackles, ravenger gackles, giant and puny gackles, and when an accual "baby giant gackle poped out my pet gets ticked off. well he has been replaced and is missed though, although my sad tale doesnt come close to the original posters, i've decided i wont go looking for a gps when the time comes.
