The very first day the AoH came out, I was lucky to get Risa the T4 taskmaster, a T4 tanner whose name I don't remember, and some others NPCs such as a barkeeper, lower tier blacksmith.. but those went away to never come back due to the bug / issues. But lately, I've seen the cages most of the time empty! Don't know if they are already broken or if Funcom has reduced to almost 0.09% chance of spawning any NPCs in them! 🧐🤨🤔😔
When age of heroes dropped started s new save on a new server and first time I went to ghost watch i got a dalinsia that was around level 30 ish. Other than that most have been empty or low tier. The barkeepers early are nice though.
Farmed a camp looking for T4 blacksmith for 9 hours, cage was always empty, and no T4 blacksmith. When I decided It was the last time in the camp, a voice called out, got zamorian barkeeper lady from cage. Next day worked that camp for 10 hours, cage stayed empty, but T4 blacksmith (armor pen) was obtained. My server respawns about every 6 minutes.
You can still get Snowhunter and zerkers at Stargazers lookout, it's just harder to get them now. I have a place there for starmetal and thrall farming.
Be interested to know your opinion, but, do you think that maybe first the Tavern with hire-able thralls (that can sometimes be named T4's - I got a Dalinsia Snowhunter long before I was ready to go to the mounds from the Tavern) The Purple Orbs (which have no aggro) And now these cages, it seems like it's getting to easy to get thralls now? As you said in your video, some camps with cages only have 2 or 3 defenders (including the Jailor) So you don't even have the fear (or the challenge) of drawing aggro from nearby thralls while you try to knock them out, like for instance in Sepermeru or New Asagarth or the Volcano. Is this maybe another compromise for the super casual players and the console customers? (no offence intended towards console users)
If anything the developers are having to change/add in order to facilitate the bored pc players who use mods/cheats(god mode) to speed through it like there's a prize for finishing 1st... Chill and enjoy it.
it is definitely getting easier. but unfortunately, a lot of people really liked the grind, so they dont like the new systems. But you really cant please everyone. i got a little highlight video on all the new ways to get thralls. as might not be obvious to new players and some old ones who are returning
@@illibetgaming You're right, I find myself in two minds really. On the one hand, I work usually 60+ hours a week, so I don't always get time to spend grinding or "farming" for good thralls. But on the other hand, I don't like feeling like I haven't "earned" a good thrall, such as when I got Dalinsia at around lvl 25
to be honest you dont have to farm the keys as there will alwasys be a jailor near a cage. shame. would be better if there were less Jailors near cages so you had a reason to pick them up when you see the keys :)
Have your cages been empty? If not, what type of Thralls y'all been getting?
Many empty cages. Also I made 8 passes through Sep and only came across one t4.

ooo good to know. i just seen the fighter not there so did some assuming
I haven't played much since the update, but there was one at the Summoning Place. It was empty though.
Lately I had been to nearly every corner of the Volcano, and up to the forge in The Well of Skelos, no cages were seen there.
I forgot what thrall I used to farm on siptah's cage camp

Why are you picking on console players? We don't have any mods to make life easier. The real grind is on console.

The cages take an extremely long time to refill on the Xbox official servers. They are empty most of the day.
If you have 2 thralls with you and you get one in the cage one has to stay back so that you can take the new thrall to your base. Its a hassle really.
true
😀
In my experience you are better off farming the old fashion way.
to be honest you dont have to farm the keys as there will alwasys be a jailor near a cage.
shame. would be better if there were less Jailors near cages so you had a reason to pick them up when you see the keys :)
