i saw one pop up during the loot collection phase of a fort, but not while it was active.

I've had an ancient skelly pop up during arena so I would assume they can pop up anywhere anytime, but I haven't seen one at an active fort so I cannot confirm.

They can show up during fort events I believe. At least I thought I read that during the introduction of them.....

Anyone get an Ancient Skelly during a fort to confirm?

I may just have cabin fever...

@kaijoi yeah I agree with you the amount dropped would have to be greatly decreased, and maybe you would have to sell an item they dropped to the emporium to get the coins making it possible to steal the coins and therefore harder to farm.

@widoghastly I wouldn't mind having an ancient skeleton have a chance to spawn at forts. It would make forts more popular for stealing, and it would give us more ancient coins. However, ancient coins is how they make extra money, if they start giving it away more frequently less people would be buying ancient coins, and they wouldn't get as much money. Even if you did decrease the amount you got, it would have to be somewhere down at around 5 ancient coins per skeleton for the developers to even want to add it to the game. Because again, that's how they make extra money.
