GoS Warcamp Locating?

[HSB]

OK... been doing Sunfist for a while, and am starting to wonder if I'm missing something. I see people talking about these 500 Warcamps. I've only ever SEEN one of the things. Every warcamp I find has 130 or so critters max, unless it's a giant camp which sits and festers because nobody wants to touch it.

Where do you find 500 warcamps? Hell, I'd settle for being able to find a troll warcamp on Teras. At this point I feel like I've looked all over Teras this evening and found 5 giant camps and 2 orc ones, all in the 110 or so critter range (save for a pair of giants in the 250 or so range that have been there for four days). Not a single troll camp, and certainly not one with enough critters to make the treasure halfway decent.

What's the trick? Is there one? Do I just need to relocate to a more remote town? For Teras in particular... do warcamps show up in Nelemar? That's one area I don't look... :help:

Just depends on the town I think. When Gnimble and Droit left Teras there were more 500's. Now there back so they're all 100's.

You stay the hell away from my warcamps!

I generally hunt the flows, hillock, beach.

They also spawn in the flats, greymist, road right outside the town but not in devils or lizards. They also don't spawn in fire elementals/golems.

Fact.

Also, I think Droit hunts the road, greymist, and flats so if we're both hunting, you're probably going to be out of luck on Teras.

Try around Vaalor... RiverRest as well sometimes will have the 500 camps.

Never really understood why. I guess it is because it is an old village where the devils are located. And it just might be to hot for them near the eye.

I also remember, when doing my tour of all the GoS outposts, that RR had almost nothing but trolls, according to the Superintendent there. Any truth to that? I've considered moving out there for warcamping purposes, but then I wouldn't be able to do any bounty work... which kinda stinks. But I'd do it in a heartbeat if it was nothing but troll camps. Hee hee...

RR has more troll camps than anything but they are mixed in with orc camps

Giant camps dont spawn there

Also since most of the town has joined GoS now you can rarely find a 200+ camp unless its in one of the mazes

Good to know. Hmmmm.... stick around and eat the Gnimble / Droit crumbs? Or relocate somewhere else entirely. Methinks a trip to Ta'Vaalor is in order (a city which I have never set foot in save for the quick trip to the Sunfist outpost there... Hmmm... a completely new experience in GS? That can't be right...)

[Danical]

I thought I hit giant camps in RR . . .

[WRoss]

There are definitely 500 grim camps out there. Most of the ones I find are in areas that people rarely hunt. For example, pinefar, locksmehr trail, mazes in RR, whistler's pass...etc. Also, you will never find warcamps indoors. This includes caves, caverns, catacombs, or the like.

I don't remember the name of the Elven Cleric in that fortress. He/she, a member of Sunfist, refused to raise a fellow member because the dead sunfister was killing the grimswarm.

The camps gen with a low number of Grimswarm. I forget how much. The camp grows over time so the longer they sit, the bigger they grow. Even if someone occasionally goes in and kills off some, the warcamp will 'regenerate'.

[Ryvicke]

What are the benefits of getting a "BIG" camp anyway? I usually prefer to get normal (110-130) ones because usually my goal is to get a RAZE task and burn it down.

I heard there was anecdotal belief that bigger ones came with better treasure?

[Fallen]

The more Grimswarm you killl, the more boxes you can pull from the treasure area. Someone could give you the breakdown. People also like big camps because they can keep going back to them for a quick hunting ground, even if they aren't doing tasks. Bigger the camp, less time spent searching for new ones.
