Chianne how did you soloed a Krayt excartly has TKM?
I mean with a good composite he dosnt to much damage, but you do wooping 50-80 Damage, due High Kinteic Resisteance and Armor Piercing. I would like heaving a Krayts soloed on my kill list

umm- maybe he really was looking for Kyrat Dragons on Areatrack and not Krayt Dragons 
but seriously, I've had the same problems searching for spawns like everyone else.
The mythical /track skill sounds too good to be true

well I followed that excellent tracking advice and in the last 2 days have found 2 different spawns without wasting to much time. I also looted 10 +4 to all heat kinetic energy and ex Krayt scales. Not sure what they are worth. Thanks for the tips and I hope everyone here has as much fun as I had this morning killing them,

What are your techniques as a solo ranger to kill a Krayt dragon?
I've never fought one, but I have fought Kimoglias on Lok and had a hard time killing them solo. I'm a Master Marksman too and use a Laser Rifle.

ummm...as Master Marksman, you probably couldn't solo a Krayt. You'd probably get killed by a juvi or a dragonet.
I'd say to hunt big critters, you should probably be melee prof, if only for the extra movement and resists againt melee damage. If you're gonna go Ranged, go for Rifleman. You *might* be able to "solo" a krayt...if you have a Tank, full buff set, comp armor around 80% (or, ubese around 70%, so the encmberance won't kill you) some Brandy, etc.
As master marksman, I'd say your krayt-hunting oppourtunities are sorely limited.

You're all only bringing up soloing krayts because I was feeling so pleased with myself managing to take down a couple of graul families.
I'll reapply that 'inadequate' state again.

its not that hard for me to solo juvies. I have 80s comp, canape brandy and a moun for emergencies. synthsteak also helps. I use a dxr rifle for juvies because they only 15% acid resists. I tried soloing a canyone kyrat but said screw it cause it was taking to long. Myabe when I get a kyrat t21

welcome to the reason for them rebalancing combat....when enough money can buy you the ability to solo juvi's with only Master Marksman, there is something wrong in hunting land. No offense, of course to you JMSHunter. It's not your fault that the system is borked. I'm just using you as an example of what has become commonplace: people getting buffed, armored and fooded up and being able to take on a creature that, by most respects, should rock that players' world. and not in the good way.
I can't wait for the day when a Krayt hunt will require a very strong group of badarses to take down a regular Krayt. Giant Canyon Krayts...oy, they should be hard.

I'm going to give you a very disgruntled reponce because I'm having a bad Monday.
1. Area track does not spawn, it only tracks what exists already. It is also bugged especially in regards the z axis. So if something is not on the same z axis as you, it might not show up on areatrack.
2. Rangers need to get the /track command which has the intent of "spawning" what you're looking for. Thus you would have a chance of spawning a dragon and a wp or something pointing you to it using /track.
So start harping to get both of this issues taken care of.

Not all servers have a "Mos Oasis" I would imagine. Might want to rephrase that

I to think the whole solo killing rly hard mobs thing is cheap but not overly cheap in my case. I am a master riflemen, not master marksmen just to clear that up and had some good doctor and entertainer buffs. I also had canape, brandy, synthsteak and moun. Some may think so but I dont think me killing a juvi with 50k ham meduim armor and only 15% resists to the weapon I use is cheap is that cheap.

Not at all. If you use concealshot and dont mess it up, it can be done, in a LOOONG time. Even the larger krayts. Mind you I'm disgruntled cause I'm master pistoleer and cant solo much beyond Bolle Bol, and thats with using my ranger/scout abilities. Unarmored and unbuffed. I have tried ER with buffs and armor, and using pistols and traps. I nearly had one, but he got me. Sooooo not right
