Finding Aeren

[arcanefid]

Yo arlorians,

Those who found Aeren, do you know when the Elite Icon appears? Do we have to wait for the Spider to drop on the ground to see that it's Aeren, or is the icon already there (before spider drops)?

Thanks in advance, and hopefully I don't get the "I think" or "maybe" replies, I'm looking for facts. :p

[PatD]

the icon is attached to the spider, so u can see it only when it drop, btw i found it twice in the first dead end on the left

I think , maybe, ok , I admit the fact is I don’t know! ��

I still feel this guys location should be moved to m6. Right now it is impossible to find a party to run this map as there is no profit, and is too difficult to solo (at least for me, a decently geared mage). Soon nobody will be looking for this guy and will make this ap even more impossible to complete. The least sts could do is let him spawn in m6, which would give people the chance to randomly enounter it while running a map that is doable.

I was going to include that suggestion in the first post originally, but I forgot.

Totally agree with that. M6 is considered Elite anyway

Yes either:
1. Move aeren to m6.
2. Lower the difficuly of the current map to make aeren reasonable to find.
3. Have gold drops/ token drops in this map so people will actually want to farm there.

Right now this map is a dead map. Something needs to be changed imo.

yes its a hard map but took me around 5 days for me and many of my friends to get that 10/10 bounty hunter title! so its not so hard imo
if they put that boss in mauso 6 it will be too easy

[Susanne]

Correct me if I'm wrong.. I usually am because I'm just dragged around to places to make up the numbers..but isn't that map meant to be for running as fast as possible? So, why would something be put in there to slow us down? Unless it's like an obstacle course. I have been taken in there kicking and screaming a few times but not seen the elusive thingy.

It would not be too easy as it would still be a rare spawn. Trust me, I've found all of the other twisted 10 except for aeren. I have spent numerous hours searching for all these, and have found all of them on my own aside for rakkash, because a friend found him and invited me. The twisted ten requires a ton of time put in to find all of them, and aeren is the one who ruins this ap. I dont mind endless grinding of a map looking for rare spawns, but throw in the fact that you die many times is very frustrating. Moving aeren to m6 will not make this ap "too easy" as you say, because the other 9 still require alot of effort to find. I (and many others) feel like aeren is in a bad spot because this map is dead, with the only thing farmable being deaths.

I found Aeren in Timekeepers Crypt at the very beggining of the map. Spider was already there with attached skull icon and name on.

[Thewolfbull]

Spider drops from sky you need to wait for him to drop before you see a skull. Goodluck

1 doesn't work for various technical and design reasons...
2 It's supposed to be hard, not reasonable. Lots of people have already managed it.
3 We took out the token drops to discourage farming them here on purpose.

[MasterP]

found him twice on first day of map being released..

1. Ok understandable.
2. Yes but now all those people who have managed it are no longer entering the map. And the people who havent managed it yet are not willing to try because of the lack of loot/difficulty.
3. Hmmm I fail to see why this map was added to the game then. Lets be realistic, lb timed runners make up probably .0001% of AL players. Was it made just for them? Don't mean to sound too critical but people aren't running this map. I feel new content should be desirable to run, and honestly this map is dead. That is why having some insentive to farm for profit, or lowering the difficulty should be considered imo. Trying to not sound like a jerk as much as possible XD.

Having Aeren appear in Timekeeper's Crypt and M6 would have been cool, but since that doesn't look like it's going to happen, I'm fine with that.

The difficulty of the Crypt is just fine I think, it's possible for a warrior to check the whole map alone, I do that all the time and it's no big deal.

As for the gold drops and tokens, I think that's fine too, so far only breaking stuff and opening chests while checking has made me over 1,000,000 gold. :P Tokens not dropping is good because then we would just farm the first mini close to entrance and go back. Huhu.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the replies.

Invite me if you find Aeren, I pay 1M gold as reward.

Oh Ive still not found the full elusive 4 Yet or the Evasive 6 after 5years of playing so that title for 10 can go whistle.
I know I got One from the 10 bc a friend Pm me too join her too kill something in Tindrin and told me its one of the 10 either the Magna corridor or the caves.
Dont know what it was or who it was but no achievement came up I guess u get them when you get all 10,
One day I find all 4 apart from just Stabb ������ Good Luck too the rest of you ��
