    It seems to me they just drop in a PvP Zone from 'huge' Crocodiles or does someone
    ever loot one from a "hefty Crocodile" in T4 swamp?

    I got one yesterday, just curious if it's necessary to visit a PvP scene to make a mounted Crocodile Head.

    We yesterday went hunting a this head.
    It won't work with normal Crocodiles heads, you need pristine large.
    After searching numerous swamps , forget hidden Vale and mysterious swamp, there aren't any crocs,
    We go to the North Fetid Swamp north of Blood River.
    Try it there to get from the hefty Crocs, but I guess you need a Huge Crocodile, but I only know a PvP Scene where they are.
    Verdantis Shardfall. Where i yesterday coud get a pristine large head.

    Maybe I miss a PvE Zone where huge Crocs are in???

    I'm still trying to get my obsidian bear head. After that, I might try the North Fetid Swamp. Not ready to flag PVP yet. It would be nice if someone could confirm the hefty crocs drop the pristine head. It can take so long to drop, you might have to test for days before you rule it out. Right now it seems like polar bear pristine heads are somewhere around 1/50 to 1/100 bears killed.

    [10:26 AM] LoneStranger (Aaxal Kuurle): @Attenwood Is there such thing as a Pristine Large Crocodile Head?
    [10:27 AM] Attenwood: Pristine Large Crocodile Heads should drop from Huge and higher.

    Are huge crocs in any non-PVP zones?

    I've got one or two off of crocs in the PVE swamp areas around Ardoris. I've got a total of 2 mounted and one in the bank. Plenty of regular croc heads too. I think it was R35 or so when I got them.

    Are you talking about Pristine Crocodile heads or Pristine Large Crocodile heads. IIRC, I couldn't find any crocs with the Large heads near Ardoris, but I may have missed a scene.

    I get them all the time in the fetid swamp area. (nearest town - Westend) thats a non pvp zone just dont take the boat outside of town or you will be in a pvp zone.

    I did miss the "large" part. Not sure, I will have to check in game and get back to you. I already mounted/crafted two of them; but, have one in the bank. I hope I didn't send you around the swamps of Ardoris for nothing. :confused:

    So I am 100% pretty sure mine are/were only "Pristine Crocodile Heads" and not the large variety. I couldn't find my extra one in the bank, the two I crafted were "regular" sized.

    Do hefty crocodiles even give pristine head? I've been fighting them for two days now and not a single one. :(

    I've killed hundreds for the meat, but seriously doubt that the code is in place for them to drop a Pristine Hefty Crocodile head. Never got one yet......

    When the Large Crocodiles of North Fetid Swamp were replaced with the Hefty Crocodiles, they overlooked the fact that there is a Tanning Trophy recipe that still calls for Pristine Large Crocodile heads.
    I finally listed it as a "bug", since there are no longer any Large Crocodiles left to possibly drop a Pristine Large Crocodile head.

    I'm confident that it's all just an oversight, and that the Hefty's will be renamed or the recipe will be removed.
    One would think...........

    I got 2 off the Large Crocodiles that used to be in North Fetid Swamp before they did the massive pristine head nerf of R36.
    Zero since then.......

    But then, they're not Large Crocodiles anymore.... so go figure.

    Wanna guess how many Obsidian Wolves I had to kill after that nerf before I got my 2nd one ??
    Think big numbers.......

    Thanks for all this info....will have to take a trip up to Fetid and see if i can get one. Also still wondering if the Spawn of Sobek is in game yet. Dont understand why they put a recipe out for something that is not even in game yet.

    I got one off a croc in Blood Bay. I think they were described as 'huge' or something.

    My guess is that it is a seasonal spawn, just like the bunny.
