south of yew, east of yew, skara, turtle bay, minoc, vesper... they are rare, but they seem to be everywhere.

The reindeer will disappear, but the items you get from them won't.

So if you kill one they will respawn lets say you kill a reindeer they will be another with same name its not just the main sets of the reindeer is it

I wish I could answer that...if i knew for sure, I might spend more time hunting them. Hopefully, no one knows...if the admins are really good at keeping secrets. I have spent more time than I would like to admit looking for them...haven't found one yet. Easter bunnies and Leprechauns were either more populated, or I was just really lucky.

Many hours of wandering the forest and tracking netted me zilch.

I've only gotten two so far, actually the same reindeer TWICE AT THE SAME SPOT.

Thats nutty. I've netted 6 so far without much trouble at all.

Just run around the outside of Brit, Yew and around Shame. But it truly is random I feel.

I just got another, near an active brigand camp. Another player just told me he also found his reindeer near a brigand camp. There's *some* pattern to this.

"Donner" I found TWICE in the same location. I bet they do have spawn points, many perhaps, but I think they have them. I mean there's no such thing in UO as "completely random" is there?

I think the reindeer are beginning to get angry at being hunted down.
Evil ones are lurking about! I think I saw elves riding them like horses! Running down deer hunters!

I tagged Dasher outside Brit about 5am Sunday morning. Only one I have seen so far though I havent devoted alot of time to looking. Hit it with a flamestrike and barely grazed it. Led it out of the guardzone and dropped an EV on it, Id like to find one on my dexxer though just to be more sporting.

I did try again to force a spawn the other night on Moonglow island by killing literally every deer, bird, and creature I could find on the whole lower end of the island and keeping it all dead for about an hour or so, no dice.

Has anyone seen a reindeer in the lost lands yet, or r they just spawning in the old world?

I've done 7, the named reindeer all had green Xmas tree deeds, cept one, Rudolph, had nothing. The "reindeer" dropped various colored wreaths.
