I helped locate some of the Black Sun on Endor this weekend. I dont have the exact Wp, but I found multible spawns in the mountains NW of the research outpost in the lower right corner of the map. I made some good monkey tracking, and the guy I helped ended up with six pieces of armor

Oooh, I might have to drag some friends out there. I want to have the armor ready to craft into Mandalorian.

about 3 of us in my guild spent two days searching with no luck, i was almost certain they were removed from the spawn table until after the 25th.


The were prety easy to find before, now they are next to impossible, if not impossible to find

One interesting tidbit..I was walking from Tyrena to my city, and I came across an (a bounty hunter) tag on an NPC. I decided I might as well kill him, but i thought he looked kind of odd. Lo and behold, he was dressed in a full suit of BH armor! Alas, there was no loot, but I found an NPC on Corellia wearing BH armor to be very odd...

I've seen this before. If you look at the BH trainers, you will see them all wearing different types of armor (including the full suit of BH). Any BH NPC can be seen wearing any of the armor types (at least I've seen most of them on BH NPCs now--no RIS yet). The armor doesn't appear to affect the stats and you don't seem to be able to loot it. Just run BH killing missions (from faction terminals for which you are not a member of the faction) and you will run into quite a few interesting NPCs. Killing BHs is fun.

Does that really work? ANd if so, why wasn't this included in the SWG Tips thread . Interesting...

You can run destroy missions for factions you don't belong to. I can't really test it anymore (as I don't have any combat skills) butyou used to be able to get missions for Bounty Hunter Camps (in the 5k credit range). Maybe I should mention it in the tips thread.

Nope, they are still spawning, I can confirm they do on Eclipse anyway. I found 2 groups on Yavin last night and let me tell you, these guys are no joke. The weakest ones are the Thugs/Henchman, they have high resists (25-40%) and 15k in each HAM bar but only light armor, they can be soloed realatively easily with buffs. Unfortunately they always spawn in groups of 3 and at least one or 2 of them will be Guards or Assasins (25k and 35k HAM bars respectivley) who have Med armor and even higher resists (usually at least 50% in all types and upwards 80% in a couple). I had a BH/CH guildmate help me take down about 6 last night and I got a bracer out them and a whole load of creds. Bracer stats were Effectiveness (all) 24.3%. The odd number was because the bracer was at only 1/4th durability, if I get it repaired I believe it will be a good bit higher. But yes, they are still out there but they don't like to be found. This may be due to them being hunter heavily during peak times, try some off hours and you may have better luck, I searched a particular area on Yavin last night where I found these guys for 2 hours without seeing another person.

Once the bunker opens, will the NPC spawns increase? Or stay the same...

(I want a jetpack)
