Just wondering if anyone has seen a T4 crafter in any of the NPC camps since the 2.3 update. I was a little unclear on if we’d be seeing them or not. They said Purge and Surge would still be a mechanic for getting the best thralls… they didn’t exclude camps in their comments though. I’ve scrubbed a few camps of some riff raff and haven’t had any luck. I don’t necessarily want to spin my wheels for hours on end if it’s not possible to get a T4 from these new camps.
TYIA.
Based on the one observation I’ve received from one of the players who use my Tier 4 Thralls - Always Spawn, yes.
The weighted tables do suggest that depending on how their designers set up the spawns, they could certainly spawn a Tier 4 in various camps for all new factions (I don’t know what specific camps, nor do I know if all Tier 4 thralls are accessible in those camps, or just some. I can only see the Weighted and SpawnData tables, not the actual spawns as those are loaded on the map itself which isn’t accessible to mod authors).
Awesome, thanks! Just knowing it’s in the rotation is helpful. I have a hard time imagining them NOT doing this, considering transferring between Siptah and Exiled Lands is in the roadmap. If they nixed T4 crafters from NPC camps in Siptah, everyone would just go farm Exiled Lands for them… IMHO.
There is at least one “guaranteed” T4 spawn - namely for Heker the Henpecked, the Edgesmith. It’s not really guaranteed as his respawn timer is somewhat about an hour or slightly more, but I’ve seen him several times in a small camp at C7/8.
Thanks for the tip! I’m gonna have to go hunt that guy down.
There are two different named Tanners that share the same spawn on the east side of the island, the small camp on the river just east of the waterfall outside the wall near the serpent vault. Near New Luxor.
Thanks for all the help yall. I bagged my first T4 crafter from an NPC camp!
thanks for the tips, had some trouble finding T4 workers too, right now im level 60 with all craft stations build, but 0 worker thralls lol cause i wanted to capture T4 only. (i did get some trash tier workers last night tho)
T3s today are almost as good as T4s. Neither of them save resources now, and T3s have lots of unique recipes that only T4s used to have (or even Purge T4s). By the way even T1s make weapons and armours with better stats than empty crafting stations do. They even grant +1 Attribute bonus to the armour set.
Yes but for armorers, blacksmiths and taskmasters a T4 actually makes a huge difference, other than that you are right, T3 isn’t that much worse 
A huge difference between T4 and T3 - yes. But difference between T3 and nothing at all is even more 
Just an added one, I got a T4 Smelter at that same camp I mentioned earlier. Just north of the fork, on the river.
That camp has so far produced: two different T4 Tanners, one T4 Smelter and a T4 Archer.
I found a permaspawn T4 tanner at a small Stygian camp in the East, just southeast of the new Stygian main camp (don’t have coordinates at the moment).
I got a T4 carpenter from the main Black Corsair camp in the West today.
It’s just good knowing there’s a chance now, especially if playing solo, and especially since you can’t farm the storm like you used to for greater ???.
I’ve got one Greater ??? from some chest in Accursed camp at Leyshrine of the Goblinoid There is one easy-cheesy spawn point of Alchemists - he/she stands all alone waiting to be knocked out, and there are some good chests inside guarded by just a couple of crafters.
Are you implying that there is a permaspawn of Greater ??? - ? I’m curious if so, I’ll have to go hunting it down! 
No, it’s a good spawn point for Alchemist only, Greater ??? is random loot.
Additions: T4 Alchemist and T4 Archer in the Accursed main camp, T4 Fighter, Black Corsair Main Camp.
@ Biggins: I’m pretty sure that Tanner is not a permaspawn, she spawns as two different T4 tanners and also can be a T4 Smelter. Been through there a bunch of times since it is about 200m away from my main base. You’re talking about the camp right on the river with the broken dock and a couple of fish traps, north of the Fork, correct?
Nope… it’s a camp by the gorillas near the main Stygian base. Coords are L9… I’ve gone there only 4 times, but every time it was the same T4 tanner.
The camps on the river at M9 and M10 I frequent but have yet to get a T4.
Our server/admins seem to be working on an interactive map - it is still a work in progress, but might be helpful:
Okay, got it. I am talking about the one at Mike 10, on the river. I will check out the one at Lima 9.
