I still do not believe these mobs exist! Having rare things are great for games but myself and many others I know have all done hundreds of mists and never have seen a mythical mob.

We already have a lot of markers on the mists maps: Chests, resource spots, weakened wisps, spiders...

if there aren't any valuable things to find by exploring the map (instead of simply looking at the minimap), there is no point in exploring the map.

Currently the only reasons to explore the map is to find common goods like regular resources, NPCs for fame, captured wisps... and these Mythical beasts!

If it weren't for these Mythical beasts, there would be no reason to run around mists maps at all, because you can find common resources, captured wisps and NPCs in any mist.

Right now you are encouraged to ride around and explore the mists if you want to find one of these beasts. With markers, people would farm them by looking at the map: no marker? -> take a wisp to the next mist and repeat.

I prefer the gameplay where people ride around the msps, rather than look at the map and skip to the next map it does not have the right markers.

1. My first reason to not give these mythical beasts is that the lack of markers rewards and encourages exploration of the maps.

2. A second reason to not give them a marker is that they are more mythical without marker. They are rare, but without marker there is no evidence of them really existing unless you stumble upon them and see them with your own eyes!

(I've seen one, but didn't bring my tools... )

3. A third (and slightly selfish) reason to not give them a marker is that I like that I have a chance to find and kill one of these beasts now, without interference from other players that are drawn to any marker on the map. As a new player my specs are bad and my skills worse, but at least I have the chance to find one of these beasts and kill them without anyone noticing, just because there is no marker.

There are many markers in the mists already, and each of them draws players and thus encourages PvP.
I like that these Mythical beasts give players the opportunity to get rewards for finding and killing them, without it being yet another thing to fight over.

My opinion: I like that there is no marker for these mythical beasts.

I've heard if you are interested in farming these, it's better to go into non-leathal mists.

A proximity marker would be better than one visible across the entire map, but again, I'm against markers in this case. If you don't see the beast with your own eyes by exploring the map, you're not paying enough attention. One of the things that can really make a game environment more alive is if there are things to find in that world. Looking at a map to find things takes away that mystery, that interaction with the world.

Maybe it could get some boss-music as warning you're nearby.

Whoops.
I figured I needed to skin the beast, so I skipped fighting it as I had nothing good to fight it with. Turns out I should've attempted to kill it anyway!



Not luck dependent, I'm keeping it exploration dependent. You're going to have to walk through many maps with open eyes in order to find one of the mythical beasts, rather than glancing at the minimap and moving on to the next mist if it doesn't show there.

You will need luck in either case, but only the first option makes people interact with the open world of the mists, while the second is mostly about skipping through as many mists as fast as possible in order to farm these. I prefer the first option, it encourages players to walk through the mists.

Have any of you found one of these mobs yet?

They exist, you just need to roam the zones hardcore to find them. They seem to spawn near the end of the zone timer, I've found multiple at the 2 - 3 minute left mark.

Evidence of their existence : the market is flooded with the new items and artifacts, so much so that I've stopped hunting for the new mobs as the item value dropped off so hard.

heavilty agree with @Mandulf, artifact bosses are the only reason why a player would roam actively on mists, almost all the juicy objectives are marked in map: weakened wisps, mob camps, chests... are spiderlings marked too? if yes then another one.

Even if it's just marked on proximity the map is pretty small so eventually the bosses will get flooded with players...

the clues suggestion sounds interesting tho, but anyway I prefer to keep the bosses completely hidden, just maybe increasing their spawn chance in higher zones if it's not implemented yet (?)

i'm sorry i kinda feel this thing is unrelated to me even tho i'm a albion online player. until now i never found T7 and T8 mists zone yesterday i enter legendary wisps and its still T6 zone.. wish me luck forever.. sadlife

Option 2 leads me to believe you overplayed monster hunter world like I did lmaoo

Edit : didn't read your whole post until I wrote this. I was laughing too much

I think it is fine as is... I just believe that Mists should have increased drops for mobs and resources so that it is a viable option for solo and duo players.

... and personally I think a trick was missed, that Brecelin should become a QUESTING hub that uses the mists to form a storyline, in order to give it all relevance.

By the way... I once found 2 fey beasts... that's right TWO, in the same yellow non-lethal mist. They definitely exist.

I had 4 within an hour one night, its a shame the stuff doesnt actually sell for what it says. My inventory said 22 mil after an hour lmao. Estimates got jacked up when all the t4 stuff sold for millions in the first few days since the initial update. I have some 7..4 duskweaver boots that still dont even have a market value. I dont really know what to think of the market for this new material yet.
