    I thought they fixed the fleece issue? It now way out of hand.

    Is there more sheep dropping it or did they only increase the spawn rate. So same campers get them all the time with range weapons. It just stupid with the main ingredient only dropping on one mob. Or in fate or some leve quest. At this rate the price be around 1k or 5k for singles, and 250k for stacks of 99. Even when people avoid the gear, There will always be people paying for the pieces, If they are able to hold the mobs for the items the entire weeks. They then control the price.

    not sure if you've actually looked for it, but there are WAY more spawn locations for this mob so I am not sure why you are QQ'ing about this...

    Yeah, they're everywhere now. And I also haven't noticed any bots lately, so they must be dealing with that too (not saying that they made a fix for it, but maybe the GMs are more active now).

    They're there, just with the extra mob pops they are better hidden.

    Uh, there's the one spot just below dragon head and that's it. It's not just teleporting bots anymore either but now people are using claim bots as well - I'm seeing the sheep spawn already claimed on Excalibur, it's completely out of control.


    Thankfully Fleece prices have at least dropped for some reason, down to 420 now from 800.

    It should get better once they finish their countermeasures, since they would stop more of them. The best way to fight them is to not buy fleece! Sucks for weavers, but some servers may be able get fleece. Those servers need some real farmers under sell the bots, cause fleece shouldn't be that expensive.

    OPs real issue isn't much about "botters" claiming the karakul before he can, its mainly the gripe that ranged attacks are beating him to the claim since he's a monk. I had no problem over the weekend farming two specific karakul before the maintenance as a monk even against ranged players.

    Well if I see a melee farming a spot I'm going to ignore that spot and move on to the next one, not worth any potential harassment.
    Sounds like OP should probably try to wait until a spot frees up and if anyone fights him over it later on, they'll be the ones at fault.
