Peko Peko Albatross: Level 145 Critter. Medium Armor. 80% resistance to Energy. 17k HAM.
Final tally:
Over 100 Conceal Shots
7 empty Mind Bars
~35 minutes
1 dead Peko Peko Albatross
4800 Rifle XP
480 Combat XP
633 Naboo Avian Meat
2000 Scout XP
1 Peko Peko Albatross Feather
It was amusing to do once. But I can't say that I'd ever bother doing it again.
That feather is golden right now, Amoursmiths are paying very well for RIS stuff. I thought those Pekoswere cl300 mobs, was afraid to try and take one down. NowI might give em a try, but if I lose my AT-ST I will blame you Volsted
Very nice. 
Before someone screams nerf, look at the amount of time it took.
Care to tell us where you found it? 
Out of curiosity, how many times did you miss? Does the feather look like a feather, or is it in one of those boxes?
Congradulation, and very cool.

Gawd yes. One of the most soul-crushingly boring things I've done yet in the game. When it finally crashed to the ground, my first thought was not "WOO! I KILLED A PEKO PEKO ALBATROSS!"
My first thought was "Thank Christ THAT'S over."

Naboo.
Oh, alright. It was near Theed. NW about 2km.
lol,I find conceal is great for the "I killed X mob today!", but it isn't the tool I would use to farm high end mobs.
Thanks for the help.

Exactly.
I spent 35 minutes killing a single critter that got me 4800xp.
I can take down white-con Fierce Borgles on Endor for ~3500ish xp each, and I could have killed 15 of 'em in the time it took me to kill this one albatross.
~52,500 Rifle XP vs 4800 Rifle XP.
You tell me which is the more effective way to spend your time...
That's great! A Master Smuggler friend of mine tried to solo one use bleeds/FDing and couldn't get it done. I jokingly at the time told him I was gonna go show him how it was done. Now I guess I have to go own up to it lol. Feather might look good on the table in my house.
Conceal Shot 1 was the first skill I took in Rifleman. I gave it up after 1 day because it was mindbogglingly boring. I got Mind Shot 2 instead, and haven't looked back.
I did try to solo one of these with mind bleeds... needless to say the fight lasted 30 seconds. Apply mind shot 1, apply mind shot 2, peace.... move away some. First bleed hit... cloning dialog came up.
Good job though. Your show of patience to relocate as the mob moves around is astonishing.

Where is the Peko Peko Albatross ?
hidden in Naboo. very rare to find, i've found some near the NE corner near Kaadara. I was grinding DNA Sampling at the time so i DNA Sampled it to death, walked away 200m to get my harvestor, came back and there he was again, on top of my house, i dna sampled again, and i noticed something, if i walk about 200m and come back it respawns, i got it to respawn 3 times (only the last one was intentional though
) i got from DNA Sampling II to DNA Sampling IV

Apparently it works like a regular non-lair ground spawn.
This particular one showed up right at the edge of the new player city founded by my guild on Tempest. The call went out for everybody to come and kill it, so we all swooped down and grouped up and took it out. The group of us, with bleeds and pet tanks and heals, took it down in about 4 minutes, though some folks had a little trip to the cloning center. (I got incapped, but for some reason it forgot all about me and didn't bother to DB me, so I was able to get back up and help finish it off.)
So after it died and we got the feather, everybody went their own seperate ways.
And then another one spawned in the same location.
That's the one I soloed.
And then as I was running off to Theed after taking down the 2nd one, a 3rd Albatross spawned in the same spot.
I didn't bother. Told my guildies they were welcome to it if they wanted, but I was gonna go do something more interesting and fun.
