    I hate to sound like a Debbie downer, but, I'm pretty let down by the Unicorn situation. My guild mates and I have been searching for Unicorns inside stag encounters for about an hour today (so far) and we have found 0 unicorns. We're over lvl 100 adv level players and to be completely honest, we're finding the experience dull. The unicorn fight is neat! But the process to find them, very dull.

    Don't misunderstand me, I'm not against Unicorns being rare or elusive, but there has to be a more interesting way to achieve that.

    The other night we did the same thing and found 3 in about 1.5 hours, with 3 of us looking all around Novia.

    We get Kurt a lot, we get Dragons a good bit, Plenty of the Obsidian Stag versions of the instance, but 0 Unicorns in an hour seems a bit low.

    As for ways to make it more interesting, perhaps have them show up in zones as well as encounters? Perhaps have them as part of "champ spawns" or whatever we're calling them now.

    Thanks for reading!

    Has anybody figured out what drops the unicorn blood potion recipes? Chris hinted at it in the livestream ("something that made sense, and people weren't killing that much") but I have not found this info on the forums anywhere, and I've not been able to find anything that drops them. (Though, if they're as rare as cowbells, who knows how many whatevers you have to kill, so I have no idea if I killed the right thing yet and just haven't been lucky, or what.)

    As a fellow archer, I suspect it will go about as well as it did for me. Might have been possible before the combat speed nerf. I'll have to try and put together a party to go hunting. The foals aren't too bad though, and I had little trouble getting them away from the adult, so I was able to get some unicorn blood. Which is why I want the recipes, so I can start selling them in my magic shop.

    Yes. It is nearly always my opening shot, even in normal fights. Unicorns are fast, and use confusion.

    Hit them back in their face, with your fists. Go and there and beat them up drunk, with your pugilism skill.

    Most likely Trolls would.... Ruined Keep anyone?

    or Kobolds

    or Dragons maybe, but wouldn't make sense if they are not sentient.

    I think people kill a lot of trolls and dragons, though. I would guess maybe the Phoenix? Do people farm it much?

    Tried 'em again, because why not. At first, disabling shot + wolf speed + fleet flute works, but after a few seconds (well before the disabling shot wears off) they suddenly get super speed and you can't stay away from them. Then stuns, confusion, rainbows, and dead.

    Who would've thought that rainbows would be deadly.

    Yes. But unlike blue sparkles, these usually go away.
