Purple Nightmare Tragic day

So I can confirm purple nightmares DO spawn with no totem as mine had been off for at least 5 minutes.... sadly I looked away for a split second at my pup in RL (sampire kills them in a couple hits) and didn't realize I was killing a purple nightmare :eek: Excuse me while I go cry in the corner now....

Yikes - Sorry to hear that. How many totems did you go through before you stopped and that one popped? Just 1?

I also accidentally killed a purple. Archer/tamer, shot twice before I disarmed, walked over to it to tame and my gloves of the holy warrior went off and killed it :sad2:

I damn near killed mine myself. When you've been sitting there mindlessly letting your Cu do the work for 20+ minutes, its really easy to not be paying attention at the key moment. Panic mashing the "follow me" macro is never good for my heart.

Only 20min?? Try sitting there for 3 hours (and still not getting one); you start to think regular 0 hue nightmares are like a shade of blue and "super ultra rare" :hahaha:

Yea I decided to spend my free time in UO taming without a totem since Friday or so. I haven't had much time to play and it's been all broken up so I don't have much in the way of stats but it hasn't been great for colors to spawn. Again don't have any concrete numbers but I'd guess I've probably gone through maybe 800-1000 mares total and I've had a handful of void/shiny along with 2 or 3 greys and 1 bloodwood red.

I'm starting to wonder if the spawn rate on the colored mares is spawn point by spawn point (mare to mare) or like global (shard). Meaning if a purple mare is 1 in 50k would I eventually get one if I stayed at the same spawn point killing 50k mares OR would it be that after 50k mares are killed on the shard one would appear somewhere.

The reason I wonder this is because if we are talking spawn to spawn then the shard won't really matter but if we are talking globally then a shard like ATL where all spawn points are camped and people are killing mares left and right as soon as they spawn; that's going to be a better shard for getting purples versus a shard slower shard.
