In other words is he worth it ?

just go wander around Lok and destroy all wild gurk lairs you find, more often than not he will appear. I killed about 5 in a row the other day (he is no harder than a normal gurk) but got nothing - so not sure on the drop rate.

I noticed the same thing. A couple of weeks ago on the corbantis server the Herb meat on Lok was work 100cpu.Duting that time I spent hours hitting the wild gurk lairs. Probably about 2 out of 5 lairs I hit ended up spawning gurk destroyers right before the lair was destroyed. About half of the lairs that spawned the gurk destroyers (otherwiseabout 1/5 of the lairs total) also spawned a gurk king. I probably killed about 10 gurk kings all together and I never looted a single thing from them.


(I was really hoping for the Gurk King hide too!!! Is that something that you have to get the RIS armor missions to loot, or can anyone loot those at any time? Total I've probably killed about 20 or 30 gurk kings, and I have never been able to loot anything off of them.)

I was on lok doing this the other day, actually was looking for GDKs, but kill the kings for the hell of it. Just head to the volcano in the SE corner, and circle around it. Kill every nest you see, there will be plenty around. About 4/5 lairs will spawn a king from my experience. In about 2hours I took out about 12 kings, and got 3 drops for a total of 10 hides. There are also 2 static spawns on lok, just do a search, and you can find the WPs.

I got to Lok to kill gurks for to grind exp for FS 'cause I get about 100k weap. exp per lair, and I get gurk kings 1 out of 3 lairs on a bad day. I have 27 gurk king hides that I am about to sell on my forums. They are qucik and easy. Just run around look for wild lairs and when the lair is about to die the king will spawn. He dosen't always drop hides, but if u keep at it u will get massive exp and hides as well

It must be a nest if its not a nest you will get no king.



Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

I did once get a King out ofa thicket, but that's one out of hundreds.


The 2 things that will almost guarantee a King are:


1) The lair is called 'A nest'. If it's called 'A Gurk Lair' that means it's a mission, so leave it alone if you have any manners. If it's called 'A thicket' it's fair game, but almost certainly won't get you a King, or indeed any 'boss spawn'.


2) There is one Feral Gurk at the nest. These are the ones that show as red on the radar (i.e. they're aggressive, and will attack unprovoked). I find if there's one of these, then Ialmost alwaysget a King, and always get a 'boss spawn' of the other big ones (forgot the name, it's mentioned earlier in this thread). In either case, these are great for XP, and were my preferred method for levelling Swordsman, second time around. Just target the lair and spam area attacks, and away you go


Edit: For the WPs to the 2 static King spawns, go to www.swgcreatures.com and use the advanced search for Reclusive Gurk King - the WPs are in the comments section.
