No t3 Zamorian armorer?

[frillen]

Usually when we want a t3 Zamorian armorer to craft the Zamorian Dancer outfit the pirate ship is the best place to get them, it could take some tries, but after a few hours of harvesting there usually would be at least a t3 Zamorian armorer.
I've been mining the pirate ship every 15 minutes a few hours at a time for several days without getting more than a couple t1 zamorian armorers.
Did the same routine in Set city and saw a lot of zamorian armorers but never more than a t2 which isn't enough to craft the dancer outfit even though the wiki claims that a t2 can do it.

Has anyone recently been able to catch a t3 zamorian armorer?

According to the Spawn Table, you can get a t3 + Zamorian Armorer at:

Dogs of the Desert locations
Exile Camps that contain 3 or more Thralls
Sepemeru
Black Hand Armorer locations

T4 Zamorian Armors can be found at:

Black Hand Armorer locations
Exile Camps that contain 3 or more Thralls
Sepemeru

I know about most of these location, my reason for only mentioning sepermeru and the pirate ship is because they have several spawn locations, but what is confusing me a bit is that I've seen all other t3 armorers than Zamorian several times and even some t4's, but not a single zamorian above t2 in roughly 30 hours of constant harvesting the pirate ship and sepermeru in the past 5 days, can chance really be this bad or could it possibly be bugged?

Yeah I know, it has become an obsession, but at least I have gotten +10 named armorers out of it, just not a t3 or t4 of the one I really wanted :/

I'm about to hop back in to do another test on my Tier4 Mod. I'll let you know what I see at the pirate ship. Data Table wise from what I can tell, everything should be working though.

Edit:

I kid you not, I warp over there and the first Armorer I see is Inriz of the Furnace (Tier 4 Zamorian). Not that I'm surprised that it's working, I expected it to be working, just shocked she was standing right there without me having to do a thing.

Basically though, while there is small a chance they could be an isolated bug, the chances are a bit low of them being bugged since my test results show the other Armorers working right. Technically along the chain of data tables connected together and all the way to the actual spawn point, it's technically possible somewhere there is an interruption where that specific Thrall doesn't spawn but all the other armorers do. Never seen that though in all the months of working on my Tier 4 thrall mods.

Your RNG luck must not be with you over the last week.

It's the desire sensor, you know how that works, right?

If you want something, you don't find it. If you don't want it...you do find it. :P

I caught a t3 zamoran armorer at black galleon last week

Thank you so much for taking the time to check the data tables, I had a feeling it was just REALLY bad luck :)

I did a count of what armorers I have from the pirate ship(black galleon) and Sepermeru, can't remember from where I got which but I now have:

2 Arcen Brokenfingers
2 Diana Steelshaper
3 Ghamm the Worn
1 Hanar of Bossonia
1 Jehungir Horseshoe
1 Joka Ironfist
2 Ogrus Iron-eater
2 Than Hammerblow
3 Zoara of the Marshes

+ a ton of named bearers, carpenters, blacksmiths etc. I quickly stopped taking t3 armorers unless it would be a zamorian, but luck is definitely not with me lol

I play on official pve server 1013 and there are 3 of us in a clan with only me being active for the past 5-6 weeks, so it is not a waste of time, we have each our own main base and a few outposts + I can trade those I don't need with other players on the server, but so far I haven't found anyone who has or are willing to trade with a zamorian t3 armorer.

I've been level 60 for a long time and have done almost everything possible except getting the bracelet removed, so I decided that I would make a trader town and the most wanted thing is the zamorian dancer outfit, so that is why I decided to hunt for it


The reason I asked if it could be bugged is because several people have reported weird things happening now and then on this server, like decay timers suddenly drop several days and POI's with missing stuff/thralls, I haven't noticed too severe problems though except for an outpost suddenly missing everything placed on the foundations, wheel, chests, furniture and everything was gone after the patch, but it was easily replaced.

I am trying to look for clues of possible server bugs because in all my time playing this game(+1300 hours), I've never seen the rng for a t3 zamorian armorer be this bad, not even close.

Don't know what can be the cause, bad luck, bug, server problem.
Speaking of server problems, we have a clan who has put down 10's of thousands sandstone foundation forming roads covering most of the map with occasionally small outposts connected to this road, don't know if it is intentionally, but they are blocking/limiting most good places for people to build at or expand their base - It's not like you can't cross these roads because they have added ramps along it, but I am a bit concerned that this insane amount of foundations can cause some server problems or weird server behavior... Look at me rambling trying to find excuses for why I cannot find that damned t3/4 zamorian armorer lol

lol That is probably why... Crom doesn't like me, but I will pretend that I don't care about the zamorian dancer outfit and make it look like I am hunting for something else

I can't speak to server lag causing issues, cause server strain can and does cause weird behaviors to happen (which is often why Funcom doesn't restart testlive servers to see what happens when a new patch is under a lot of stress).

On paper though, as far as I can tell, the data tables all come up clear for that particular Thrall as of the patch on 12-10-18.

As for your road issue, the load optimization patch coming to testlive next week should help with that a bit as far as server performance. Not sure how much the performance patch will help, but should help a bit at least.

Hopefully the next patch can bring some optimization, but if this clan continues to spam thousands of foundations all over the map, it probably won't help much for new players trying to find a good and spacious spot to build, hopefully they forget to reset the decay timer or get tired of this server and move on :)

Once again thank you for all your help, I have spent a few hours in vanilla singleplayer game on default settings farming Sepermeru and the Black Gallion and found a couple of t3 zamorian armorers + Irniz of the Furnace which also should be able to craft the zamorian dancer outfit, so they are definitely in the game... well at least in my singleplayer game :D
