Thanks, Wicked for the clarification. I didn't know about the misty glow thingy. I'll look out for that as well.


Once, when I had just finished my mission lair, I was just meditating to heal up some wounds and to powerboost before heading on to my next mission. Next thing I know, a bunch of Mokks appear and start attacking me. I get up and defend myself, while also thinking "Cool! More XP and perhaps a loot item." About 15 seconds into this, another player rides up in his swoop and starts yelling at me that I'm kill-stealing his lair. His Mokk mission had spawned right on top of me. I felt so bad, because I normally try to be sensitive to others' missions as I described earlier. I just sent a /tell saying that the lair had spawned on me, but I'm sure that came off sounding like an excuse. I just hopped on my swoop and left, but still felt kinda bad. Not for long, though - there wasn't much I could do about a situation like that. And, in the grand scheme of things, if what I did is the worst thing that happened to the other fellow, then I want that other fellow's life.

They're talking about killing the initial mobs, tapping the lair once and killing the follow-up spawns then moving on to your next mission. Do the same at your next mission then head back to your first one. When you get back, more mobs will have re-spawned. That is, if too much time has not passed and you get the "Mission Incomplete" message. That is why it's important to get two lairs relatively close to each other and not spread apart 2K or more.




I disagree. If you kill the initial spawns but do NOT touch the lair, then move some distance away (I thought it was 256m), the original mobs will respawn. I think you can do this two or three times. So the plan would be to do this:


Go to lair 1 and kill initial animals but do NOT touch the lair.
Go to lair 2 (at least 256m or more away from the first lair)
Kill the initial spawn at lair 2 but do NOT touch the lair.
Go back to lair 1. Original critters have respawned -kill them again, do NOT touch the lair.
Go back to lair 2. Original critters have respawned -kill them again, do NOT touch the lair.
Okay... I believe you can only do this twice (or the lair will disappear)
Go back to lair 1 (third trip) kill the spawns and NOW TAP the lair to get the second spawn out.
Kill the second spawn, go to lair 2 and do the same thing.
After this point, I'm not surewhat the deal is.
I'm hoping this is how it all still works.. this is how I mastered Rifle many moons ago.

I prefer to get my two missions, zoom up to the lair on my bike, dismount and immediately tap the lair. Spin attack until the initial wave of mobs are dead and finish off the ones that pop. Once they stop, head to the next mission. Repeat.


Then go back to the first mission and finish em off. A total of 5 waves of spawns AND the lair taking 4x damage on the return trip. Great for grenades.
