Nightmares

[matB]

Hail all!

Could anyone please fill me in on where Nightmares spawn nowadays? I have roamed the whole landmass south of Papua - and frequently visited the oasis - with no luck for about two weeks now.
Do they spawn *that* rarely?
Am I just unlucky?
Did I look in the wrong place?

Best regards,
mat

They spawn randomly but it's a pretty big gap. It seems something like a 12 hour respawn time, maybe longer.

You're in the right spots, a mare just wasn't spawned.

If you get desperate, I sell pets, including mares. Just contact me here or in IRC.

shouldn't there also be one in Wind, towards the spawn in the north east of town?

Thanks Onslaught!

This rate seems not very T2A accurate to me - but then again: I didn´t get to see much of T2A back then, because Renaissance was introduced a few weeks after I joined UO... Anyway, I won´t even bother looking for mares anymore and take my dragons out instead. Hehehe.

(And thanks for the offer to buy one - but I never bought a pet because of the contol issue...)

Cheers,
mat

YOu don't really want complete T2A accuracy for nightmares. You will probably not get one unless you are willing to pay 50-100k if it were entirely accurate. Before if one was on the same server as T2A (stabled at Delucia, or Pap) one would not spawn. You could go months without a nightmare spawn. At least this is a balance creating a little rarity and still allowing the opportunity to tame one.

yes, IIRC, if they're still going for accuracy here, there should be a nightmare spawn in that little green foresty area of Wind in the NE area that you have to ride a teleporter to.

Yeah, there should be, but I checked yesterday, and there are only furry little animals, birds and bunnies and such.
