So, i've been out hunting with groups alot lately... And in the past 5 days, i have seen 11 (yes eleven) bull rancor babies. It really sucks to see these things spawn, since i'm not high enough level to tame it yet. -


Just hoping it's not random and they actually increased the spawn rate, so when i get master i can go out and find one

Wow, nobody has attacked this one yet? Either all the CH's are truly gone, or just dont care anymore. Personally, I'm busy taming Brontosaur-Rex babies, I'm pretty certain they were just introduced and way better than the over abundant bull rancors! CH is lookin up finally!

This may confirm a theory of mine that requires a very high level group to be around to have a lair created that will allow a Bull Rancor baby to be spawned.


It is similar to Mantrigue Screechers that require at least a level 99 mission to get a lair with 3 screecher spawned before it will produce babies.


Either that or this is a very late April Fools joke.

I dont think thats true, i got a bull rancor baby, and when i got it it was just me and my in game wife and 1 pet, the mission difficulty was around 49-50 i think

Might be something to this.


A ranger/CH friend of mine that I trust told me he was in a large group last week on Dath doing BR missions and they killed 5 BR babies. I was mortified. He wasnt MCH yet and didnt realize they were so rare - it seems once you get to MCH you begin persuing forums and learning about rares


However, the past couple of weeks I have gone on BR mission hunts with my guild - about 5-8 people with pets and have noticed no difference in mission difficulty and, unfortunately, havent found a baby. Weve done about 50 lairs I would say.


In contrast to the mantrigue screechers (2 v 3 at the lair upon arrival) the BR missions always have the same setup, BR, youth and regular. Or am I wrong? Do the BR missions have differences in difficulty like the MS lairs?



Can someone out line the best way to milk the BR lairs? I never seem to get more than the second wave when the lair gets to half - not to mention its difficult to keep the gorup at bay from wacking the lair in <2 mins.

I have been soloing Rancor and Bull Rancor missions for the last 2 weeks, hoping to spawn a baby Bull, but no luck. I will say in general I have seen a lot more Rancor babies spawning than normal. Possibly group size might determine what spawns, will test that this Friday on a guild hunt.

Perhaps there is a corollation based on what Shrik has observed. I would like to make a request though. Please... those who find half a dozen rare babies and slaughter them... don't post that here. It is just too damn depressing. =)

been on dath for 3 days both solo and in large groups hunting rancors for bile.

Done the mission's done the natural

I have seen 2 rancor babies and 3 Gnarled rancor babies out of over 100 nests I have done.

I am begining to think that even rancor babies are rare on my server.

Greetings,


I am going to dath to see if this is true but here is why I think it is not.


1. Bull rancor babies and rancor babies are the same size making them easy to confuse with one another


2. The person posting this is not a master ch


3. No screenshots


I have been a master ch and have a Bull Rancor and the spawn has not improved. Static spawns have more bull rancors per spawn but have hunted in large groups and have found only the static lairs possess more bulls. One bull for each spawn for a total of 6 for the entire static lair.


Paid missions never change the bull quantity regardless of group size.


I did 235 lairs before I found my Bull Rancor so am very knowledgable on these. I am sure Tivo will back me up on this once he sees this post.

Accually I think there is a coralation, but not how you might think....


I've been soloing bull rancor missions and I've noticed that on each lair there is one bull rancor and two regular/youth rancors. Now this means for each set of spawns, there is a base chance of x. Since there is only one bull, then chance in then reduced to 1/3x so the chance is only 33% of what it started at, thus making hem more rare. Now, with a large group you may get three bull rancors in a lair thus have three times the chances for a baby or more if there are more bull adults.
