Desert Bandit Lair Bug?

Users who are viewing this thread

Ok, so I know this topic has been up before, but I'm getting really frustrated and suspect foul play.

I was given the 'destroy bandit lair' mission by the Emir of Ahmerrad and have been combing the desert around Ahmerrad and Durquba with a fine toothed comb for 5 in-game days now. I have tracked and backtracked, crossed and cris-crossed, pursued bandits and every other thing I could think of, but no luck. I occasionally spot a group of 3-4 bandit armies coming from the same place and have gone there to investigate, but no lair. I'm using the OSPW mod, I don't know if that can have affected it somehow.

Can anyone provide screen shots of the possible lair locations, cause this is getting old and I need my denars? I know it's not necessarily in the same place every time, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Try traveling from Durquba to Shariz(via samarra castle?), you got an open desert. And it should be in that area, just follow the bandits who should be there in higher numbers.
 
Ok, so I cheated and hit CTRL+T, which should show me everything, right? No bandit lair to be seen anywhere in the Sultanate. In fact, no lairs to be seen anywhere. I checked for the other bandit type lairs as well, but nothing anywhere. Anyone experienced this before?
 
Ctrl + T does not reveal lairs :razz:

Use ctrl + left click too fast travel, and try to port between those places (Durquba / Shariz)
 
For future reference, it helps a lot if you wait until you have blundered into the lair before you ask for the mission to destroy it. As far as location, The Ahmerrad lair is usually fairly close to a straight line drawn from Ahmerrad to Durquba, closer to Ahmerrad. Good luck.
 
I had a steppe bandit lair fail to show up once, but my suspicion was that it was a bug related to a mod that I'm not longer using.

But I definitely had tracked them back to their lair spot.  They were all sitting around, would scatter as I came, and then do the whole back and forth dance as I sat on the spot *shrugs*

I usually do exactly that, but in this case I didn't. In other games I've never had a problem finding that specific lair, as you say it's pretty centrally located. Now I've used CTRL+click to beam around and find, but still no luck. I'm assuming there's some kind of bug involved as I found the forest bandit lair in its usual location.
 
I've noticed three spots for the desert camps.

One is on Bellicosity's map here:

The other two are roughly south of Shibal Zumr and east of Durquba, or south of Aab and west of Iqbayl.
