Hey,
Few questions about these things from the clueless.
1) Are they random spawns (time wise)?
2) Where do they spawn?
3) Does the amount of people in your group or in the "Graveyard" affect that one spawning?
4) Are they harder than the Scythe mission one?
5) I'd like to know what ones spawn where so I know what to attack it with/ who to bring to back me up.
We went out looking for one of these babies to find some tissues so I could make some weapons. It was me Swordsman Master marksman ,a Master Ranger pikeman, and a Master swordsman rifleman. We waited and waited and waited...lol. We got bored and buffs were running out so I went and grabbed the scythe mission. We beat the livin' junk out of it and were quite dissapointed.
Any tips and/or info would help a great deal.

I've spent a bit of time hunting bantha's around the Krayt Graveyards....about 800-500m away. From what I can see the Krayts are pretty much random spawns. Not positive on this, but so it seems. Most everything in that area is a group spawn/lair spawn, so if you seee a single red dot on radar give it a check. I've seen a pretty good variety spawn just outside the graveyard with no particular prefrence to Krayt type.

1. Yes, pretty much.
2. Krayt valley. Depending on how populated Tat is on your server, possibly other spawns will be seen, again, random times/places.
3. No
4. Hell yes. Much much much much. The quest spawn is a sissy.
5. Bring help. Lots of it. Or, know tactics and two guys can drop one depending on weapons.

Just so you know, there are multiple types of krayts. You have the Juveniles that are quite easy, the normal canyon krayts that are like the scythe ones, giant ones which are quite a bit harder, and ancient krayts that I've seen keep over 20 people busy for over an hour (although it wasn't a well planned hunting group, there were a lot of people shooting at it for a long time). While your group is quite good for this sort of hunt, you might also want to drag along some medical help and some dot help (burns, poisons,and diseases really work nicely for taking them down especially when you are dealing with 95% resists and heavy armor on the ancients). And a Jedi or two wouldn't hurt. You don't need all that but it can help make it go a lot faster.

well have a master melee to tank a canyon , must have good comp armor and full buffs and then a master rifleman to spam strafeshot2 at it with a T21, oh and doc is very hadny to have there incase it gets hairy and someone dies, but a master doc/TKM and a master rifleman can take a krayt alone
now the giant krayts can be a pain in the ass cause they dizzy/kd the tank your have plus they have alot more ham, a giant you will want 2 tank atleast cause 1 of the tanks will get dizzy/kd on them and then the other tank can take over, cause ya want the rifleman to be spamming SS2 the whole time
now haven't seen an ancient krayt yet, but i can only imagine how tough they are
and the spawns are totally random like others have said
killing everything in area can help get 1 to spawn, plus not haveing alot of ppl out there looking for them, cause they have spawned for me when there ain't many ppl out in the graveyard area

Awsome,
I am def going to bring a master doc nextime for re-buffs and heals. Should I bring along some Commando's? All we did last hunt was one tank it, keep intimidation on it. While The t21 beat down it's armor from range, noticed a faster T21 worked better even though it's damage wasn't as high. By the next time we go we will have a master rifleman too with some speed AA's. If you know what weapons work best on these beasts I will make some up as soon as I know.
Another question...(I'm full of em)
How many tissues can ya get from em? Most I've seen, (and I only know of this from the guy spaming Cnet starport) was 10. Are there any of you that have seen 11 per chance??? Need 11 for a T21. ONe needs to be wasted to make the schem for the 10 matching needed for the T21.

The more people you have, the faster it will go down. If you have commandos, go for health (i.e. strafe2). If you have riflemen, swordsmen, combat medics, and/or TKMs, go for mind (targetted pool damage is best if you can). For krayts, you either want a good T21 or a really good SG82 (T21 will usually outdamage the SG82 but the krayts do have lower cold resists and the SG82 is usually faster if you are not speed capped). Speed capped riflemen with damage sliced T21s are nice but standard riflemen (i.e. no speed tapes and without master marksman) are often better with speed sliced ones (powerups are good too). That's not the easiest call to make, though.
With tissues, you can get up to 11. But the 11 drops are really rare. Especially the really uber 11 drops with high stats. But this is probably a good time to try--with JTL out, I've noticed a spawn increase on all the planets and there are less people overall hunting stuff.

I'm glad to see this post. I feel that as a ranger, my krayt tracking skills are really lacking. I was asked to join a group twice now to help track down some Krayt, but to no avail. It was dissapointing and discouraging. Thanks for the tips.
Maybe a vet ranger should compile a 'ranger how-to' guide on hunting krayts.

... in fact, it would be awsome if a vet could put together a BGH how-to guide for the rangers. GDK, Krayts, Peko Peko Albatross etc. I think that would really be helpful and particularly well suited for the ranger forums.
Any takers??

I have been very successful finding the just before dawn on Tat around the POI. It has been my experience that you will either get a spawn of giant kryats or a spawn of junviles and canyon just before dawn within a 1000m radius of the poi.

I was told lastnight that just after server restart is a good time to head to the POI. Only thing is I have school most days, and the rest or my guild works...lol. Maybe this weekend someone might be up for it, or I'll just ditch class...HA! If anyone has tissues on the Lowca server and wants to unload some for some cash E-mail Terv with stats and how many ya got. I'm gonna keep trying to get one of these buggers though.
Thanks for all the help

OKay, just an update. We killed 7 Canyon Krayt Dragons and5 Juvies. Kill everything around there and they spawn one after the other. Anything and everything, kill kill kill. We split up and cleared the place out about 450m round. Then all of a sudden, poof, there are those magic dragons. The best part was when the dad and the kid both attack us...lol. Inimidate and Swordsman area attack 3 had a blast. One of our guys nodded off and died just as the last Canyon Krayt died...lol. No names will be mentioned...HA!
I hope we get a few more before they do the Combat Upgrade and make them crazy tough. Although that will be fun too...
