PvPers have scarred Merchant ships away from fel???

[weins201]

Has anyone out sailing the evil fel waters seen any merchant ships around? I have been all over and not seen one?

 

[Lady Storm]

You tried the top of the map? i have seen a few up that way in the past

 

[hen]

Saw two earlier today near Valor Island.

 

[Lord Lew]

I've circumnavigated fel today and have not seen a single merchant ship... Ill check around valor, but I can assure you the top of the mp is empty

Merchant ships unlike orc ships only spawn in a certain area (of at least fel).
Check around the floating docks area, mostly and usually to the west northwest north northeast and east. They rarely go to the south of it.
If you sail past Magincia,Nujelm, or Moonglow you have sailed too far.
Do not ask me why they perpetually reappear in the same spots but they do and they dont appear anywhere else.

Pirates are always in the same spot east of jhelom.
Orcs are complete idiots and just sail everywhere.

There out there, but beware, I only search Fel for player ships I hunt my Merchants/Pirates elsewhere

 

[Lord Lew]

I know where there usually spawn, I'm telling you that they are not spawning...

 

[budman23]

well after blowing up so many the loot was getting pretty terrible anyways

 

[cdavbar]

I have noticed that Pirates/Merchants spawn randomly. Meaning, if i take out a Merchant, it may spawn as a pirate in the pirate fields, or re-spawn as a merchant in any of the merchant spawn points. Same for pirates, if i take one out it may re-spawn as a merchant instead of pirate. I had this problem yesterday with merchants being gone, but had tons of pirates, took out a few pirates and bam, merchants starting spawning again.

 

[hen]

Just bumped into another one. Just west of Valor.

And another just east of Ocllo.

 

[Lord Lew]

Found one, had to kill pirates first

 

[weins201]

hen TY but need to point out you are on Siege Im Prodo

 

[hen]

I'm on Drachenfels.

 

[weins201]

ahh kk

 

[weins201]

are you killing pirates?

 

[hen]

are you killing pirates?

I was killing pirates for refinement parts yes. But not that many. I only use a sextant and world map to get around so there's a lot of staring at blue stuff involved.
