The Hunt for Tantor

[Toomuch]

My experience has been similar to Goodest's - I spawned Tantor once (at least I'm pretty sure it was me), on my bard, by charm kiting for hours on end, and just killing tons and tons of rhinos and mammoths, and the occasional velium hound, exclusively. Also saw him up one other time, I believe a few hours after a quake one time. Neither time did he drop the tusk.

I've seen Stronghorn a handful of times, maybe something like 4 or 5, and yeah, he drops his horn every time.

I was once hell-bent on getting a Tantor's Tusk as well, but gave up after a while. The problem I ran into is that I started running out of rhinos and mammoths, because they'd respawn as drakes, wyverns, and ice burrowers. I didn't want to kill the drakes/wyverns because of the faction and/or they have a high chance of being a summoning mob, and I couldn't take on the ice burrowers. On 3 different occasions I got to the point where I was running figure-8's around the whole zone, and couldn't find a single rhino, mammoth, or velium hound up. I considered that to be "striking out", and gave up.

I really do hope you have more success than me, but your efforts might be better spent on other challenges, like getting certain rarer drops from Sirens Grotto or Chardok or something. Best of luck if you decide to stick with it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
