I have read the following: Map locations are random but will be on whichever facet the carrying monster is killed. Maps found in monster chests, such as Ilshenar paragons or Miasma, are random facet. Is this completely true? I have killed 15-20 Blood Elemental Paragons and gotten a chest. Every map off these paragon chests have always been in Ilsh. The only time I got a level 6 map in Fel was off a Level 5 Chest. Is this supposed to be like this? I am not sure if it was like this on Great Lakes.. I only played there a week before going to play on Siege Perilous, so maybe the server may make a difference as our rules are different from other shards. I also heard all maps are suppose to random when looted off monsters, but the info above states different. Can anyone clarify this? I just finished my T-Hunter on Siege today and did about 10 maps.. Seems my idea of a Myst/Mage/T-Hunter is working good, but no where near good enough to risk spawning an Ilsh Chest Level 6 Map and getting Paragons.
It's correct, I guess you've had a run of unfriendly RNG. I'm not entirely sure whether chest guardians can spawn as paragons, I've never had one spawn but I only do up to level 5. My char is too much a 'jack of all trades' to cope with level 6 spawn alone.
Seems to go in cycles just like loot. I swear that one day the dominant skill on jewelry is taming, the next day it is archery, the day after is something else etc. Some days all I get is Trammel maps, others just Malas etc. I have had paragons spawn as chest guardians, the worst being a changeling guardian on a level 6 map.
Hmm have yet to experience a paragon guardian and really dont want to, is barding level the same as a regular mob?
