Thanks, that helps me feel better


This wasthree unique spawn locations, not three at the same spot. I have noticed if the creature (or NPC)is not at a lair, once you killall that are out at that time,something else spawns there when usually the 2nd round would start to show up. Have only been on Tat, Dant and Endor since the Publish, but I assume this is true for every planet.

Before the CU, Gorax was an NPC. We tackled it on Wanderhome at the GRM, and no one could harvest it.



Needless to say, we all didn't get Gorax Bones, but who needs that when you've got an interesting story to tell about "how you got that scar?"

Oh yeah, he showed up as an animal under tracking, not NPC. Also he did not have any harvestable items listed in examine windows.

Gorax were pretty common pre-CU if you know where to look. My small group and I were hunting them regularly after the krayt breeding frenzi (you couldn't move out there without running into 3 krayts). Needless to say we started on the Gorax.


On our server if you go north out of Smugglers about 2200 m and start tracking you will find them. I have 8 wp's now in that area, all within 1200 m of each other, that regularly have Gorax. Most nights we can find one within 5 min of searching and normally in a pre-CU buff session we would take out 6-7 each night. Realize pre-CU they had 400-450K HAM. Now post-CU they have about 18K HAM. Both pre- and post- CU Gorax drop/dropped Gorax bone shards as loot but were not harvestable.


Post-CU we have been finding Gorax in about the same spots and at the same spawn rates. Bones appear to be about the same from a drop rate and drop level. Killing 3 and not getting any bones is rare but could happen. In most cases if you find a Gorax out and about and kill it, just wait in that same spot for about 5 min, another will spawn there. In some cases you can geta 3rd to spawn as well.


HINT: if you want to solo a Gorax but have trouble being a tank (the Gorax hits pretty hard and knocks you on your butt with dizzy, etc..) then try this approach. Aggro them on a Hanadak Stoneskin! The Hanadak Stoneskin is one bad dude. He can sit there and go toe to toe with a Gorax and hardly take a scratch. Just don't let him aggro you!! As a Rifleman/Ranger I normally take cover, use Conceal shot on the Gorax, and once he break my cover and comes at me I high-tail it to the nearest Stoneskin (which I have marked on the map ahead of time). They are almost always within 300m of each other. With this approach I was even able to solo 450K HAM Gorax pre-CU. Of course I was hitting for 4K pts of damage then. Now only 1500 to 2000 pts, but either way you can drop them.

I almost peed my pants laughing at that. Oh how accurate a description that was.


As to the original poster, pre-CU the gorax was prevelent NE of the outpost in the high desert on the way to the static merek harvesterspawn. If you see a stoneskin hanadak (at the time had 200k HAM), a gorax was near.

I especially like it when they don't even bother to stand up, just hover across and whap you into the middle of next week. Then your corpse warps 500m away and your team mates are too busy laughing to keep the doc alive and pretty soon it's cloner trips for all.

Ach, you have to find your own fun some days...

After looking for many months for one of these critters, I found 3 last night in about an hour. So I do not have much experience with these guys and thier loot drops, but has anyone looted anything from one since the CU? I would think as insanely hard as the Gorax is to find, I would get something after killing 3. Or maybe they are alot more common now after CU, which would explain why I found three.


To tie in with the Trap/lvl thread question, they were lvl 83 and I had no problems landing P-Darts on them. They do have a very high regen rate, so the third one which I had to end up soloing, took a looooong time to kill. My Jedi hunting partner and I went through the first 2 in about 30 seconds each.

I can't answer your post CU questions, but they were that prevalent pre-cu. My friend and I went hunting them when the krayt spawns dried up one night and we found at least three spawns (that is, three different places where gorax were spawning, not three gorax in the same place -- like all mobs they will respawn three or four times in the same place after the first has been killed).

There was a time when they were scarce (or maybe not spawning), but I think maybe their rates were upped when the krayt spawn rates were increased. We only got one loot for killing four and it was gorax bones I think. The gorax would disappear as soon as we looted him - there wasn't eventime to harvest (my friend was doing the /looting and I help off of my harvest macro until he looted). Oh, and two out of the four were bugged - thier animations weren't working so it looked as if we were being attacked by this big hairy statue on roller skates - maybe this is fixed post cu then....

It would'nt matter.. Shards (like tissues) are a second class loot to the Casings and Cells looted from BH marks
