Animal Spawns

  • Does anyone know if the animal spawning is random or if they are assigned to certain islands yet?

  • @ironnative25 I believe it's fairly random, but there are islands which seem to have more of each.

    Would be cool if there were some islands that housed specific species.

  • Cannon cove has a lot of chickens and pigs, i just go there for missions.

  • I hope we can get a running list because I checked several islands with zero luck. Flippin chickens.

  • @verygoodsauce Good idea for a thread!

  • @ironnative25 I know certain islands have the animals, I'd think it depend on the island or region. Thats just me, havent played yet

  • Makes me LOL that chicken island is barren of chickens.

  • @wearelegion Yeah, I agree. I thought they'd at least give a hint, but that does make it slightly more fun to hunt for them.

  • anyone seen snakes?

  • @revanjstone That's the one animal I haven't seen

  • I'll take on the Cartography Mission - just give me like 8 hours or so.

  • @ironnative25 might not be in yet. i guess they are higher tier haha

  • @wokedup We don't deserve you

  • @ironnative25 It’s my adventure- I actually enjoy solo sailing around and exploring the islands.

    First thing I wondered though, will animals be different from server to server? Will they appear at different times? Will they only be on islands if you engage with the Merchants? Testing this out will be fun.

  • I'm currently on Thieves Haven. I've found pigs and chickens, if anyone else can confirm then we might have an idea of where to start looking server to server.

    Nah the randomness provides a better adventure (hence all the time you get to find them) if they were on specific islands you would just bee-line it to them all the time which becomes repetitive and dull.

  • Going to make a bold claim, but it appears that it is randomly generated.

    I logged in a couple of times during this closed beta. I travelled to Sunken Galleon a couple of times, and the wildlife was different both times. Will continue to test this out in the upcoming release!

  • Wondering if the animal spawns reset at set intervals? Would be interesting if you had a journal and could mark where you have seen specific animals during your session, but might not be as useful based on when the spawns change.

  • @ironnative25 pretty sure it's random but best way I noticed was to go to the big islands

    I can confirm that! Tons of different chickens & pigs...

  • @getschmiton the chickens and pigs by how you said make me laught jajaja

  • every island has two types of animals and they are always the same.

  • You're welcome.

  • @rdizz sadly not as accurate as ye would hope... I've been to islands that claim to hold chickens, and no a chicken to be found.

    In me own humble experience, thar seems to be some conststancy an' some random. Smaller isles especially can be hit or miss, one day it be Isle of Pigs, the next it be nowt but sand and skeletons.

    Perhaps the skeletons ate the pigs...

  • Pretty sure this is okay to pop in here too i use it alot on Merchant Voyages.

  • @ixxolos tis a nice resource to have on hand, but beware... the map doesn't always tell the truth.

    Shiver Retreat, for example. Ne'er once found a pig on that lonely rock.

  • I find a good mix of all the animals on Crooks Hollow and Thieves Haven.

    Those locations are my first stops (and sometimes ONLY stops) for all my MA voyages.

  • Island have the same animals. U get s interactive map by searching Google. If there's no animals, your whole crew has to be dead to reset.
