Thread: Where have all the Krayts gone?

I'm going to have to agree here. Last night (just as an example), we got 4 Giant Canyon Krayts to spawn. And this was Just last night... Earlier in the day the group fought (although it despawned half an hour into the fight) a Ancient Krayt and got a number of other Giant Canyon Krayts...

At the ladder session, we even brought out one of our fledgling Jedi for some fun. It was so cool watching from afar, seeing all the Jedi specials flying through the air along with the volley of T-21 fire. I love Krayt hunting.


All told we walked away with:
like 5 pearls (most notably one with a -9 force cost and one with a -7 force cost) Gratz to Dxun on the -9 pearl, it'll make a nice finishing pearl
9 identical Tissue samples with +65 to Max Damage, and -0.606 speed.

You really just need to know where they spawn, and become familiar with HOW They spawn. Krayts don't just spawn all "willy nilly". There's a very specific rate and sequence to their spawning. Once you get them spawning though, the riches come pouring in.

Well, I say a Tarq Hunt needs to happen soon... Been on Yavin4 for DAYS straight,still nothing but some venom, I swear, loots hat me now. I will send you guys a note, if you see Tyy'che or Oew on, send a tell. I am up for hunting 9 times out of 10. Unless I am busy getting there is nothing to loot messages from the Acklay.






Tyy'che / Oew

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell

Ok so there is a specific rate and pattern to the spawns.... what is it? Seriously, just saying "there is a trick to it" and then not explaining is just taunting us. The vast majority of us here are not on your server, its not like we'll be there stealing your kills. Show your fellow swordsman some love.

hunted krayts last night found 2 canyons in a hour before i had to logg off for bed... got no loot. the best time to go hunting krayts is in the day time when evryone els is in work so there arnt any other groups that try to steel you kill.

"also i went hunting about a month ago only for a hour but me and my mate managed to kill 19-21 krayts (all sorts) and didnt get anything."


averaging a krayt every 5 minutes? sounds kinda fishy. you'd have to have found 3 spawns in 1 hour. I have found 2 side by side but the ammount of time it takes even a master rifleman to kill just doesn't add up.


anyhow. I krayt hunt probably 10 to 20 hours a week and my favorite group (my wife and I and 1 other master rifleman for three rifles and one TKA for tanking) have taken as many as 10 pearls in 5 days.


there is no rhyme or reason to when they spawn. there are areas that seem to be better though. spawns will usually be 1 giant at a time for a total of 4 or 1 juvie and 1 canyon at a time for a total of 5 juvies and 3 canyons. I have seen two canyons out at the same time and you just know god is smiling on you. I have only seen 1 ancient and he was so stinking hard to kill it was just sick.


hope this info helps and happy krayt hunting

They have fallen prey to the countless guilds camping them for pearls so they can have uber jedi. Seriously. I have seen krayts, and usually within 15 seconds of me seeing it, a guild is ontop of it, pulverizing the thing,

Actually, TK's do quite fine against krayts.

yeah! canyon krayts only have 80% kin resist and heavy armor......give the tka around 5 hours and he can easily kill one

hmmm i'd say 5 hours might be a little early... i'd say longer than that =)

A swordsman could probably do it in 1-2 hours though
