They do, check out the bottom level of destard where the ancient wyrm spawns.

Do they only spawn in destard? Cause I've been killing them from the valor gate.

It's been a while, but if I recall, they only have a chance to spawn as tamable, so not all of them are tamable.

I believe we have it set to a spawner where most time it will spawn a regular ancient wyrm and sometimes it spawns a tameable ancient wyrm.

Destard will definitely have them though. Valor may not have the spawner set up for that.

Well that would certainly explain a lot. Its been pissing me off soooo much at valor with all the paragons I've gotten and not a single tamable lol

So I finally get one only to realize they are the biggest waste of time in the game. lol How the hell is it gonna take up 5 slots and have less health than a Cu? Sure with training maybe it'll actually do damage but still blehhh.

Ahhhhh the neverending debate on the ancient wyrms. Failed debuff and rebuffing are the culprit my friend. Fear not, greater dragons will replace them one day.

I fail to see how a greater dragon could surpass an Ancient Wyrm...

In my head I feel as if an Ancient Wyrm should have superior magic abilites seeing has it has had thousands of years to practice its art being Ancient and all.

Maybe a greater dragon could surpass it with regular damage though. Idk thats just my opinion.

AWs being tamable was a big mistake we made when the shard was young, and we just did not know any better about making certain changes like this.

We will most likely address this issue, and others at various stages during/after the revamp. We will most likely just replace them all with greater dragons if we implement those - but this is not official.

But think of it this way, would your 90 year old grandpa really be able to kick someone's ass with his cane? (ok, maybe yes, because some elderly people out there are badass like that)

dragons are supposed to live hundreds of thousand of years so 90 years old would be a hatchling

You clearly have never seen the smackdown of a yomotsu elder.
