Ok. So similar to some other trade runs.You run trade orders (actually need to run them and not use moongates). As more are run, the ambush spawn escalates until finally Krampus spawns. Trade Minister will yell out location when Krampus spawns
Well, speaking of rewards... What are the current ones as currently known ?Run 3 trade orders WITHOUT USING MOONGATES and you *should* get a drop when you fight Krampus, assuming you do enough damage. (I suggest canceling orders to the islands as they are a pain)
Krampus will spawn after ~20-25 trade orders have been run on the shard. You will know when he is getting close to spawning as the ambush spawn will become tougher cold-based creatures (no, these do not have to be killed) When you see minions, he's about to spawn. When he does, everyone with a trade order in their pack will get a message giving his coordinates. (Town Trade Ministers will also bark this). Krampus will spawn 5 minutes after the message goes out. He will be preceded by minion spawn.
Don't bother trying to fight him alone.
There are no new rewards on him this year, unless Mesanna was fibbing.
Theres a bunch.Well, speaking of rewards... What are the current ones as currently known ?
I'm gonna go with a big ole no on the Demon slayer. I was hitting him for 6 with one. Did not last long enough to swap slayers to try another oneKrampus looks like a Demon..Demon slayer works on the old turd or not? And would Sampire be better or archer Vs Tamer?
This is correct.You can't discord Krampus, number of trade runs make no different except after three you are guaranteed a drop.
The trade minister says "The Royal Engineers have warned of a structure in danger of collapsing near a location in the wilderness at 59N 12' W.Once enough people have run trades, the minister of trade will announce the coords of Krampus once he spawns, so if you're just turning in one, you won't be able to if he's already spawned.
Is there a list that shows the differing levels of seas critters to show when he is close?frost spiders and frost ooze
snow elementals and Ice Elementals
frost trolls and ice serpents
white wyrms and ice fiends
On Atlantic they yell out he has spawned when he has not lol.How is someone staying on a shard where the players do not yell out events in chat. We yell out, have gates, you can't miss Krampus.
Time to move Tabin.
Depends on when people are doing it and if someone wants to spend the time killing something for no reward.How is someone staying on a shard where the players do not yell out events in chat. We yell out, have gates, you can't miss Krampus.
Time to move Tabin.
New for me and I’m sure many other returning players, great fun!really crappy event krampus is nothings new
I kept getting the message they could not be tamed.Can you tame frost drakes again??
You can also grab a trade box (after your third run) and just hold it until he spawns. When he spawns you get the message (pop up) and can simply cancel the trade order (if you want to recall). I've done this a couple times when I wanted to go to the bank rather than the docksOn Atlantic they yell out he has spawned when he has not lol.
But yeah, all you have to do is camp a trade minister after you do trade runs. Keep walking away and back up. Eventually you see the Krampus message. Then go to that area.. can use sextant to direct you if needed.
You can get the coin purse as pack drop even with no trade runs. Happend to me yesterdayThis is what I often do. That way you always know when he has spawned. As Pawain said, on LS we always broadcast the coordinates and someone will open a gate as soon as they get to the area. We work together. People too lazy to do the trade runs don't get a pack drop, but can get some corpse loot.
I tamed two quite nice frost drakes yesterday; both are better than anything I had previously. So frost drakes are definitely tameable.
This is the third year for Krampus.Does krampus happen every year? Or have there been years it doesn’t activate ?
Trying to decide if I load up on frost drakes
Also, can you use the moon gates to get the 3 runs and guarantee a pack drop?
After the WW and the IF the next level is groups of those high HP Minions.Once the White Wyrms and Ice Fiends start appearing you know Krampus is close to spawning.
Our experience last year was that they don't differ in type of critters, but just the strength of them. And those huge HP Sea Serps blast a mean fire breath at ya so beware!Is there a list that shows the differing levels of seas critters to show when he is close?
