Ranger Archive

Do you guys remember that back in december with the "creature balance" patch the devs introduced a new feture that went something like this:

- Now there is a chance that Boss like creatures will spawn on a lair prior to its destruction. ( Or something like taht, to lazy to go and find the post myself .... )

Well i was wondering why by this time there was no list of which lairs spawn such creatures, and if they do, what kind of cretures are they. So the intention of this post is to everyone who has seen and fought such creatures to post ithere so we can start making a database of "Boss" like creatures.

I have only seen twolairs which spawn them, and one of those lairsspawn two different variations. So here's my two cents so we can start this list:

General Characteristics of the Boss Creature Spawns: ( as afar a s i know)

1- They spawn rarely. Do not expect that everytime u destroy a lair that spawns them Big Ol' Pissed off Bossie will come to make u pay the damages u have done to its house. Its hard to say at this point with which frequency they spawn, according to my experience they spawn somewehre around 30-40% of the time. (Which means that of 100 lairs u kill, you may see Big Ol' Boss 30 or 40 times)

2- When they do spawn it means that the lair will no further spawn anymore of its "normal" defenders. If a boss spawns and you kill it, after doing so the lair will be defenseless, so u can kill it without worrying more crits will come from it. You cannot see the boss unless u attack the lair and take it to almost its destruction.

3-. All Bosses seem to DeathBlow.

4- Some lairs that do spawn them may have more than one variation of Boss creature. It may be related with wheter if the lair is being attacked by a solo hunter or a group. The one that i know as a fact that has two variations of bosses spawned one type of boss everytime the times i killed it solo, while it spawned a different set of bosses when i attacked it with a group.

Ok lets start the List:

YAVIN4

Mamien Lairs

Boss variation# 1 :

Mamien Jungle Battlelord. Its the same as the mamiens but bigger and meaner ( well all bosses are bigger and meaner that its leseer ... DUH! its a boss!) it has a 30ish creature level i think.

Boss Varition # 2:

1 Mamien Matriarch plus like 6 Mamien Elders. Same as above, eldershave lower levelthan the Matriarch.

TALUS

Fynock Lairs

Boss:

Engorged Fynock Queen plus 5 Fynock Guardians.. 20ish level i think.

Please feel free to post any addition/correction/comment etc to this list. As you may see i dont have much information ( which is why i decided to start this thread).The idea is to someday make a big list with all the Boss Mobs.

Eter Solwalker

Naritus Master Ranger/Master Carbineer.

Rori - Forest Mites

You get a Forest Mite Patriarch, a Warroir Drone or some such silliness and about 3 standard mites. If you are solo and not ready for it you can get overwelmed really quick.

Dathimir - Rancors, any kind.

Most lairs rarely pop out a Boss but it does happen, usually Enraged Bull or Mutant, all depends on what the lair itself was spawning, the boss will be about 10 CL tougher. We did a Mutant lair and a type I can't remember off hand poped out and con'ed red (for ref, the NIghtsister Rangers are about the only thing that con red to me). It was scarey looking but we dropped it in the end.

Dathimir - Gaping Spider lairs, standard kind

These sometimes pop out a Recluse (10 CL higher) or another type I can't remember about 20 CL higher (and cons yellow to me, quite a feat for a spider... Archane?). The higher lairs seem boss free... for now.

Talus - fynocks - Queen fynock (will DB) and 6 other red aggro uber fynocks. Not hard to kill, just a lot of em. Nail the queen first and go from there. The uber fynocks (no, I don't remember the stupid names, I don't take names, I just kick butt) will not DB.

And they are not rare, like 2 out of 3 lairs some days spawn queen mom and her posse.

Happy to report, no Boss rasps.
