That's Axkva Min, she's a once per day (well - server reset spawn) that is required for the NS EL weapon.
forget the Energy Lance. I want the motors so i can get me a Razor Knuckler when they finally come back to the servers (supposedly it will be back when the Combat [insert word of the day here] happens.)
As for the once a day stuff. It will just appear more randomly and less timed.

Do you guys happily hunt off mission terminals - or are you like me and try and catch wild spawns instead as they generate greater amounts of creatures and therefore resources.
Perhaps Owen-Lars, would it be a good idea to try and get them to increase the rate of wild spawning stuff. I don't like camping POI's to guarantee I'll find a particular creature type. I.E. Woolamander Palace for Yavin Wooly, Kimo Village for Lokian Leathery, as often those places are camped out by more than just rangers looking to earn their keep.
Just as long as i can find random spawns of creatures in the evening after work like i can now, i'll be happy. (except for Talus and Rori, those places are dead and need to be fixed)
Kimo town for lok leathery???? you'll get one GDK an hour there. sure the looted scales are worth a TON, but there are much more efficient ways to get lok leathery (i know because my town is on lok).
The Secret to Lok Leathery Hide (also the way to find Reclusive Gurk Kings)
Within 1.5km of the Imp Outpost POI are normally lots of wild gurk lairs. Find a lair named "a Nest" that spawns an assortment of gurks, it MUST have a Feral Gurk for this to work. These lairs will spawn a total of 20-30 gurks, at 110 units of hide or more per kill. Once the lair is destroyed, 9 times out of 10 a Reclusive Gurk King will spawn, along with some Shaggy Gurk Youths. The gurk king drops the looted hides for RIS, but also gives roughly 300 units of hide. in about 3 hours of gurk hunting i can come up with maybe 15k of lok leathery, maybe more, but if you just camp kimo town, you'll get maybe what 600 units of hide off a GDK (i never killed one, so i'm guessing) once every hour.

No - I hunt there as there's a frequent spawn of snorbals there too... just keep spawning nonstop while I wait for the GDK's/Kimo's etc... my point was more that now that spawns don't generate so much as servers are not resetting - is this an impact to anyone else? I've found the more a server is up - the less wild spawns there are. Maybe that's just me. Was wondering if anyone else hunted in a similar fashion and was affected by it - i.e. lack of wild spawn or did you all mission for stuff?

I use server downtime to get lunch. If there is no downtime I might starve.
just forage around in the carpet, there's bound to be a Maroj Mellon somewhere.

It wont really change the hunting habits of the natural lairs because people still wont be logged in for the first half of the day.

Please remember, that there are players out there (e.g. the europeans), who have to endure the server downtime during her lunchbreak, so there is some hunting after reboot
