Killed one today and didnot get an update for the sublime impressions and yes i had the book on me. Soooooooooooooo what now? He was a spawn after I killed the group of 3 in front of the elevator. Anyone got anymore ideas?
If you don't kill all 5 gnomes in the patrol, they respawn every 20-30 seconds. but if you kill all 5, its a 20 min respawn. a reaver dose spawn in the group about once every 5 kills.
There is two patrols that are infront of the Elevators. will have no problem of not running out of mobs, as long as you don't pull all 5.
I definitely recommend doing the two roaming packs. It can be a PITA, since they are constantly moving, to try and break the 5 apart. Along with that there are stationary mobs in the same area (still in the general roaming area though, not OFF to the sides) which should also be able to spawn reavers. They are obviously much easier to split. You will have to lull all mobs in the group you don't want as they are all linked.
I camped the "parking lot" in front of the elevators for about 4 hours last night, killing the 5 mobs lined up against the wall, the two groups on patrole, and various mobs lined up on the gear fence. I didn't have a single reaver pop.
A friend tracked some that were inside some small rooms, but surrounded by many mobs. I'm going to try to get a few groups together to break in to that area.
These mobs pop all over where gnomes are, esp on the platform near the elevators. The best way ive found to spawn them is to pick off one by one the "parade of gnomes" (5 gnomes walking in the box around two parts of the platform) and let them continuously spawn til reavers pop. Every class of gnomes can spawn this mob: troopers, dedicants, steamboilers, strikers, etc.
One spawns at -297, +239, +405 (in yard right in front of the elevators) PH was "a mender" or "a striker" or "a trooper" or "an inquisitor"(all gnome types) and guessing that all gnomes can spawn "a reaver" in their place around this area.
Doesn't see invis, kitable in the small area nearby if your careful.
According to SoE forums, all these gnomes have a 0.003 chance of porous loam. (used in cultural sublime augs and elegant type armor)
This mob is used in this quest for the wood elf cultural armor. (quest needs updating but I got mine here)
Although I am not 100% sure, I think that the gnomes pretty much ph each other. In doing the sublime aug ts task, they seemed to appear at any spot that had a gnome.
I have yet to find a solid location for these mobs.
