Sry to burst your bubbles didnt feel like reading all those posts too long so i am gunna say this the wild spawns you find are RANDOM some days there close by some times there on the other side of the map sometimes they spawn on certain times of the day other times they dont spawn sry but FS grind is alrdy to easy only thing keeping us from being KOTOR is the 18 weeks it takes to get all your lines then for the slow ones the xp grind. you want to know how to get good xp for the jedi grind well here go to 0 0 on endor find the black sun and do what you used to do to the geo cave it works on ahazi ive been there and if you want de-10 or any dwb item bug spawn have jedi harvest friend made over 13mill selling the junk he got off that spawn although you wont see me goin there since im too buisy on dath

the reasons this happens is because the game does not get a daily server reset like it is soposed to thats why all the spawns are scred up is because the system does not reset the code. its realy realy sad that they cant fix a problem as spall as this... can i hear a develper/game prorgramer revamp

/oldfogey back in my day, i remember when endor was a scary place... thats right. you were surrounded by aggro mobs that could kick your sorry little nub ass back to corellia and laugh as they did it. but these days... cant even find anything... its a sad sad day.

I agree, spawns are triggered by something. One mornign the other day I was huntin on endor, killin this and that lair, then poof, they vanished. Mind you I walk from outpost to outpost on endor to cap my xp. I ran all over, no spawns of any kind. Then as I blinked my eyes, about 15 mins later, they spawned everywhere, I had a merek lair about 60m away from me each direction, I thought I was only one on endor that time of morning and a csr was playing tricks on me. =|

Mr Topi -
read my post again = if your within 2k of a POI or Starport/city - the spawns are ok.
now - go way out into the boonies - like 10k away from the above...
OK sorry for not answering properly. Am no authority by any means either.
I have always thought that is the way it is... I have seldom found any great amounts of spawns outside that 2km radius on any planet @ Chimmy.
As I have read somewhere, the spawn system is supposed to be passive, triggered by the presence of a player character.

Well... thanks for all the replies. As it turned out, I droveabout 20,000 meters total, much of it in a big loop around the Smugglers Outpost about 800 to 1000m out. Not ONE spawn. But I never did get off and walk... had never heard it was tied to foot traffic. So I shuttled over to Dathomir where things looked normal and hunted there for a while. I finally came back to Endor several hours later and things were back to normal - there were spawns everywhere.
So my guess is that no one had been there for a while (even though my first trip there should have been hours after server reset). And since I never got off my bike, I guess no spawns were triggered. If this happens again, I will try getting off my bike and walking for a while.

By the way, if you'll notice my second sentence above, there were NO spawnsinside the 2000m radius either. I was only outside the 2000m radius for a few minutes, but was inside that radius most of the time.

Well, on the Naritus server it was spawn heaven on Endor. I flew out to a Wookie Life Day waypoint and spent the 2000 meters doging red cons the entire way. Can't recall any other planet as heavily populated as it was last night.
Sorry - not trying to rub salt in the wound

interesting approach, i'll have to try it out.
So, to sum up possible workarounds:
Solution 1. Get off your bike and walk around.
Solution 2. Pull out a droid/pet.
Solution 3. Get mission/destroy natty lair.

You don't even have to pull missions, at least I didn't. Looks like if the system sees a "group" of ppl it is more likely to spawn random mobs and lairs.

What i meant was that there are 3 possible workarounds that was discussed here, not a step-by-step 1-2-3.

In my experience, it seemsthat there is about a 2km radius around poi & non-player cities where spawns happen, and beyond that just emptiness on a consistent basis. Often times i'll see crazy overspawning near the outpost and then nothing after 2km.
I found that endor is a little more prone to these dead spawn times inside the 2km radius that you're talking about. Dunno if its a myth or my imagination, but it seems that if i destroy one lair it "wakes up" the spawn and normalizes in a few minutes. Kinda tough if you never see any around tho
Try taking a few missions in the meantime and see if that helps repopulate the area.
Especially on dath, endor, and yavin nowadays i dont see much beyond the area of poi/cities.

the way the wild spawns work is based on players, if there is know one in an area nothing is there, when you enter the area, it registers and things spawn, and if your on a speeder the will not be time for the things to spawn
so unless u go to an area where ppl have been try traveling slowly
