Not sure how many people are doing these.

I was on the Salty Sea Quest last night and only found 3 sea creatures in a little over 30 minutes.

This morning after maintenance I set sail once again to see if the increased spawn rate helped any.

I started at 8:36 and took a break at 9:09. In that 33 minutes I killed 9 Water Elementals, 2 Sea Serpents, 2 Deep Sea Serpents and 3 Krakens. I went back at it a bit later and in 14 minutes killed another 3 Sea Serpents and 1 Deep Sea Serpent. So for a total of 47 minutes I still need 4 Sea Serpents, 5 Deep Sea Serpents and 2 Krakens.

The spawn rate is MUCH better, but it's been almost an hour and I'm still not done. Now, I am just sailing around the Jhelom Islands so there may be more out further but if you end up sailing too far you won't get credit for the kills.

Once I am finished with this leg of the quest I will be able to test the other changes, so far the upped spawn rate has helped quite a bit but I can't help but think it could be upped just a wee bit more...not MUCH...I don't want instant gratification but I also don't want to spend an hour or more just doing one part of an already long quest chain. Thank you Kyronix for listening!

I do wonder if the monsters that spawn from tossing salvage hooks would count for this.

When we did this quest the first time, we threw nets and those counted, so I think as long as you're in the South Sea they would count. We even had one of our fishers out with us fishing hoping to fish up some serpents and those counted as well, but were few and far between.
