im on bria. two nights ago, i fought one krayt and got a pearl. havent gotten any since, and have killed at least 10 (nothin compared to 160 lol). i dont think our wild spawns work anymore tho. I havent seen a krayt in Mos Elsewhere (town just west of the graveyard) or anywhere surrounding the graveyard, or around jabba's palace or the pit. i think our wild spawns may be broken.






Yeah, the random krayt spawns around Mos Elsewhere appear to be broken. None of us in MOB (owners of Mos Elsewhere) have seen a random-spawn krayt in weeks... now stretching to over a month. It's so bad, I've taken to organizing raids on the Nightsister villages in hopes of looting crystals again.


The tuskens-vs-jawas static battle site near the Graveyard is a potential source of crystals, but power crystals are rare, and mostly Poor when they do drop, with Fairs making an even rarer appearance.


I've also tried pillaging some of the Dantooinian force-wielders, but have yet to loot a crystal off any of them since the CU went live. Anyone else have any luck picking on them? They used to be my favorite source of crystals, pre-CU.





Yeah they drop on Chilistra but then again I haven't hunted them in awhile now. I just noticed the bad drop rate since restart on thursday but since others are saying they have looted some pearls then I am going to chalk it up to bad luck on my part. We will see as I will be back at it on Monday as usual.




Atyi-back for now(cancled December 29th)

little off it, but drop rates in general seem down, i kill canyon corsairs for some reason, but recently have been getting nothing, not even all the junk they often drop

58 krayts killed, 19 juvi rest giant. 1 pearl drop!!!! (66 -0.19 -3 tune)


Rest is tissues, slice tools, and some +health stuff. Soo if you wonder where all the smugglers went, Krayts ate them lol


There have to be a stealth nerf out, or my random drop luck is waaaay out.

My guild city is in the Valley of the Wind on Tatooine... I regularly have to clear out krayt spawns away from my factories. Current drop rate has been one pearl in 40. I'm certain there's been a stealth nerf.

That would fit with the restart theory, today was a sever reset day.

What Im curious about is, how are you guys counting 160 krayt kills? Is that an estimate or did you really kill over 160?



Cause I loose count after a couple

Ok just wanted to check and see if it is me that is having a huge run of bad looting or if anyone else is noticing a pattern too. Just spent the last 2 days(since after reset yesterday) and I have killed over 160 Krayts myself and only 2 pearls. Is it my bad luck? I smell SOE personally. Please tell me it has just been a very bad streak. I know there are dry spells but nothing like this one.





Are you killing the ones on the static spawn or the randomly generated ones? My teams got 10 in about 2 hours on intrepid last night.
