Terathan Warrior (terathan keep is WRONG)

I played BlacKnight on Europa from 1997 to 2002. I used to spend all day every day at the Terathan keep, killing warriors for magic weapons. I got an indestructable vanq katana and blessed it after the cleanup.

Long story short. I did search the threads but this is a new thread ONLY for warrior spawn.

You want to be t2a accurate, there are ZERO warriors at the keep, 3 avengers and 40+ drones. No matriarchs or warriors? It makes no sense to the era. I bought t2a when it came it, it's always been that way.

Are you saying there weren't any warriors at terathan keep in t2a or are you saying there aren't any warriors there here on UOSA? If the latter, you'd be wrong. I go there quite often and there are plenty of warriors. There are also Matriarchs as well.

Yup, there are plenty of warriors.

I've also seen plenty of matriarchs downstairs but haven't farmed the outside enough to notice.

Are you including the downstairs of the dungeon?

I used to farm the swamp area outside the balron spawn quite often and there are probably 6-8 that spawn in just that general area. If you go all the way to the back (north west ish) there is even more. It is definitely a popular place to farm and someone may have cleared them out just before you checked, although it seems odd you wouldn't see any corpses or players down there.

If you are talking about the outside, I think there is only a few that spawn and it always seemed to take forever to respawn as well.

the outside in t2a had alot of spawns. The dongeon was way more pk likely so I wasnt there as much. Maybe its just me, it just didnt feel right. Also avengers move way fast when chasing you

Agreed. My memory tells me there was a lot more spawn on the outside area, but trust me if you learn how to farm the inside you won't care.

And also, yea, I don't remember avengers skipping tiles like they do here. But after playing servers where I couldn't ride a horse for so long, this doesn't really bother me.

Since you hunted there into 2002, do you remember when they changed the spawns and warrior loot tables causing nobody to hunt outside the keep because it wasn't worth it, mostly due to warrior loot being changed? The server seems to be using those new loot tables/spawns. On Atlantic outside the tere keep went from a hotbed of activity to a ghost town when that change went in.

Warriors drop a magic weap every time and about 100 gold. Farming there isn't bad at all. Also considering there is a near endless supply of avengers/matriarchs/warriors + double balron spawn downstairs...this place is certainly worth it.

i'd be making up a date if i gave u an answer. i LIVED in delucia when t2a hit. so my guess is it was at the beginning that the good spawn was. My last couple years were spent gambling in brit.

When T2A was released on OSI servers, I spent lots of time fighting Terathan Warriors in the outside area of Terathan Keep. There were plenty of them. Only 1 or 2 Avengers and 1 or 2 Matriarchs and don't know how many drones.

The spawn up top of Terathan Keep was more plentiful in Era.

Heck, all of the spawns were more plentiful as I remember, and there weren't 20 ophidians mingling on the left side of the keep and tons of spawns on the inaccessible ledges. It looks like a single GM warrior could kill all of the drones and warriors outside in less than 10 minutes with the tiny amount of spawn there

Then again on OSI people actually hunted outside rather than making a bee line to the underground entrance

Nobody really farms up top. Once you drag those ophidians over on accident they kill the little stuff and get stuck there aggroed through walls.

I also feel like when I'm downstairs if you kill the drones you have a better chance of spawning some of the other mobs as well. Might be that nobody has killed the drones up top and it just never cycled through to the other ones.

Also, I might be making all of that up and just going on feelings.[/size]
