Can we please rally for more Sand Vortex to spawn in the deserts around the area of Grave Water Lake?

This is such a large desert for such a low density of Sand Vortex's.

it would be nice to see more then 1 or 2 out here.

Thank you very much

Why more? To torture and pester or even kill poor fisherfolk who are trying to get fish for their quests or a very difficult to catch Zombie fish? Or is there something special in the loot of the Sand Vortex?

As someone who has done a bit of fishing over the years, I have to say no to the pesky sand vortex.

More deserts have sand vortexes. Compassion desert and the desert in the middle of Illshenar if i remeber right. Finding one, if you only want to take a picture for the Elwood-quests, in Malas can take some time.

Here is why "All of my Map runes are For Malas"

I would like to do more T-maps in Malas, level 4 to make tattered maps, other then the 2 or 3 Sand vortex the only place to get a Malas lv4 T-MAP is off a Devourer of Souls, (Ravagers and again these guys are in Doom as well) & the Wander of the Void.

And in doom, this a tough battle enough as it is. go try and work some Ravagers or Devourer of Souls to make a lv 4 Malas T-map spawn in doom. you will see how hard it is.

ASfor a Wander of the Void, Well the information is un clear, one page says lv 4 other page says lv 3. and honestly I cant say I every saw a Wander of the Void in Malas or Doom.

I think the rate is just fine. I don't typically have too much problem finding one.

Really? your luck much be must better then mine, I hunt for them in the deserts of Malas that are around grave water lake daily. This is on Sonoma.
perhaps I need to stay closer to the lake vs. going all the way out into the sand areas.

Again this is only on Sonoma where I am finding a lack of Sand Vortex that do not seem to be plentiful.

I will spend more time hunting around the lake vs. out in the sands

You could also dig up a lot of level 3 maps as some of them will have a level 4 map in the chest. I don't know how easy it is to get a Malas level 3 though

From looking at the listed monsters at http://uo2.stratics.com/skill-guides/skills-and-professions/treasure-map-quests Sand Vortex, Devourer of Souls and Wanderer of the Void spawn in Malas and Doom. Additionally each Guardin of a lvl 4 in Malas has the chance to spawn additionally maps. Aside from that you could hunt in the guardian room in Doom to get lvl 3's and hope for a lvl 4 inside the chest. or you could hunt for lvl3-map-paragons to get lvl 4 chests (cyclops for example) and try to swap maps for other facets with other players from your realm. Some of the guardians from lvl 5 maps kann spawn lvl 4 maps, too. Actually doing lvl 5 maps is not much more difficult than doing lvl 4's.
Hunting for specific t-maps is always a problem, becourse the drop rate of the maps is usually very low. If you need lvl 4 maps to gain on them for lockpicking and/or cartho, you can gain on lvl 3's as well.

Need level 3's to get to 4 malas I'd suggest the dark guardian room in doom. They always drop a map level 1-3. they spawn 2 for every person or tamed
in the room which if done right can produce large quantities of maps fairly quickly.
