    This has been mentioned before...several times but i am finding that its still an issue. I did 4 wolf encounters...all were elder wolves and not one of them brought out the npc for the quest. I understand that it is 'random' if it does but 4 in a row is a bit much. There is no way at adventure level 45 that i can handle a darkstar corpion by myself. Yes i can take someone with me but I am not always able to get help. Kinda my point. There is no way a new player can get the gloves if the random encounters arent working. Definitely can handle stag encounters for sure if a dragon pops out. Heck did one of those the other day and after killing two deer the dragon spawned....and there were no stags in the zone either. So yeah something is messed up.
    No i didnt send a bug report as this has been an ongoing occurence since the glove quest started.

    Happened also to me, not only with wolves, also with Corpions.
    But Corpions worked better ;)

    Darkstarr Corpion is extreme hard :( We are talking about to receive the Virtue Gloves ... I think no other part is so difficult to receive like the Gloves ...

    Regarding to this thread,
    @Sannio, could you tell us, which animals actually are in for receiving (all!) Virtue Gloves?

    Could it be possible to also include other Encounters like Bandits and Skeletons?

    It's really hard to do now ;)

    If you go ranged, the Darkstarr Corpion isn't hard. It has no ranged attacks. Just keep it at a distance.

    I've yet to get the Truth glove spawn, but the others were both after a Darkstarr.

    I have done dogs, wolves, corpions and i wont touch the stag ones as yeah cant fight a dragon. Dogs you get the farmer spawn, wolves no matter where i try has only spawned once. I had to complete this quest on corpions only and about 2 out of 5 ever spawned the npc. So something is not working right. With Launch almost upon us the influx of new and older players who have not been keeping up with things its gonna be impossible for them to complete this. Just thinking ahead for the most part that some things just arent working for mass players to complete

    Just to verify, were you starting in a Tier 2 encounter, or a Tier 5? The elder wolves generally only show up for me in a T5, and I don't think the T5 version of the encounter gets enhanced opponents.

    Thank god for this post or I wouldn't have known we could have gotten the Virtue Glove Armor yet! So, basically you go to these encounters, kill the mobs and hopefully an NPC spawns and offers you one of the Virtue Gloves quest?

    Thank you @Browncoat, very interesting:
    I tried Darkstarr Corpion a lot of times and ONLY received the Truth Gloves from the quest of the Ecology Researcher. I met one a second time but just received XP and gold.

    No idea....i never paid attention to tier level. Just basically all the wolf ones i go into start with Elder wolves. There was nothing else.

    I've done Corpions 8 times over the last 2 days, and have yet to get a Quest NPC to spawn. Wondering if they turned the Spawn Rate down.

    There is one near Desolis. I got better results from the Corpion near the Blackblade Mountaisn. Of course I did it over days a few times ...

    I can't speak to the Blackblade mountains but I did get back to back quests from the Corpion by Desolis.

    I log on and do encounters over and over 5 to 6 a day. (Sometimes way more than that)

    I have never.. in any encounter seen any extra spawns or npcs.

    Hell, I didn't even know there was anything 'extra' to them until this thread!

    I just do them for the extra mats and the fact that I enjoy them!

    I hope this helps!

    Since I live in the desert around Desolis I've helped quite a few people farm these corpion encounters for the NPCs.
    Sometimes we do it in 3 clears - bam bam bam, one npc after another, done.
    Sometimes it takes 20 clears - getting no npcs, or the npc-we-dont-need, etc.
    At the very least it would be nice if 'someone' always spawned, as this can end up taking hours.
