Aside from the prestige mission, what are some good places to try & find Black Kats? I've been doing a run from Emberlight to the Terminal on the Ruby Sun Gate (I think?) because it takes you through 3 Scarlet Fortresses & 2 Haunted Passages (or Candlestick Keep/Graveyard), though I haven't actually seen a Black Kat yet.
Also does anyone know if "Mission" Kats can drop the book?
How about regular missions involving undeads? That way you don't mess with gate rotation or pay 500cr.
I don't mean the pages, I mean the book that you give to the Konjuring Kat in Moorcraft. I'm not sure if Black Kats found in missions will drop it.
You can find the book where the is a black kat do you can find te book in a mission
You can do T2 chilled to the bone. It's super easy and still has black kats.
I spent 100 mist on levels infested with Kats and only found one Black Kat. :T
I did, however, find a Mew Kitty which I then promptly killed for not being a Black Kat.
Well, they still should. There is no reason that they wouldn't drop it in missions after they've gone as far as adveritising that Black Kats drop pages in mission levels in the announcement.
From my experience: Black kat can spawn twice in the same depth, Black kat can also spawn during the mission in another spot and will drop 3 pages if you are in T3 or 1 if you are in T2 (note that the 2 end-depth Black kat does not drop pages) and they spawn pretty consistently in Candlekeep. That's where I have farmed all my 41 pages
Edit: And where I will farm for the next two weeks. Already got my 3* swordie hat, now on for 5* swordie and 5* rare cowl -_-
Shouldn't An Occurrence at Owlite Keep have Black Kats?
It makes sense. No?
T2 is terrible for kat milking as they will only drop one page there. In T3 they drop three.
That one mission in 8-1 is poison-themed and as such there is little danger in putting on a shadowsun set and just kind of legging it with a fast gun to break blocks until you see a black kat.
Depends on how you put it, doing T2 levels can be faster and there's no risk of dying. You can swing your sword cursed and all, losing only half a bar.
> I spent 100 mist on levels infested with Kats and only found one Black Kat. :T
For the last 45 runs to the first level of Alone in the Dark was found only one Black Kat. T__T
There are no two ways of putting this.
If you don't have an elevator pass, you are wasting more energy doing T2. Are you really going to die worth 20 energy each T3 stage compared to T2 stages?
If you have an elevator pass, dying doesn't matter and you can just start the mission over should you be unlucky.
And now I just met 2 Black Kats on one floor.
That cry of theirs gives me the creeps.
Are the black kats easy to dispose of just like normal kats?
They are a little bit tougher and spawn curse zombies, but are hardly a big deal.
A flock of devilites are much worse.
I actually find Devilites to be easier than Kats, since they're much more predictable and far less aggressive.
Is there any level apart from candlestick where you have found those sneaky black kats ?
(>")> Hemsy.
I did find one in Haunted Passage, but Candlestick simply has more kats and thus a higher chance of them spawning.
I've found them in Haunted Passage levels, in the level itself and in a danger room.
Wot about legion of almire? Just asking. If you think about it their are, around 20 cats in that prestige mission.
20 kats spread over two floors that involve a lot of forced fighting is very bad compared to Candlestick. In Candlestick, you can run past at least 20 or so per floor, and there are very few fight-based chokepoints.
pfff
70+ candlestick maps
100+ grim sparks
5 black cats
22 pages
1 GM intervention
still no book -_-
Wow, that's kinda depressing. I REALLY want to get the book because if I miss getting a piece of gear as good as the Black Kat Cowl I'll never forgive myself
haha good thing it's on an elevator pass now haha :) been running all day but as always i'm short on luck :(
i hate when devs pull the luck card :( when do you get rewarded for doing some hard work :s (or just make the book craftable with pages)

i'd say alone in the dark on the first level, rince and repeat; i got 3 black kats on there in in the same depth
What is the best mission to get kats in your opinion ?
I can't manage to find one, I've already spent more than 150ce for near-nothing 0°/
-Tried the sun door almost ten times, only friends inviting me had found kats there ...
-Tried 9-1 Alone in the dark ... didn't find any kat ...
-Heard about 8-1, but which mission ?
I can't manage to find just one kat by myself when other friends get a whole book! è.é
Your experience is needed here ! Is it that hard to get a bloody kat ?
(>")> Hemsy.
PS: post edited, english mistakes :p
I'd recommend the first floor of the Weight of Darkness Mission.
The way I see it, the Black Kat Prestige Mission is entirely useless and terrible compared to a Candlestick Keep (at least they're useful for something now). You get one extra page for having to deal with 2 Black Kats that don't drop any pages in a confined space where the candles are temporary. Not to mention having to lose 30 ME or CE to even get the pages. No thanks. I think I'll take my chances in Alone in the Dark.
70 Black Kats
204 tokens
1 5* Kat Eye Cowl
A bunch of Grim Sparks
Several hours of time
No book
And then they claim that the book is bugged and they'll further lower your chance of getting it.
There's something wrong with this picture and you will have to tell OOO to raise the spawn chance and/or to leave the book alone.
Alone in the Dark
finding a black kat once per level.
but no book.
p.s. are Curse Zombies that easy to defeat?
Carnavons (the Curse Zombies) have a shield on their back, like Gremlin Thwackers, and have cursed breath. And that's about all that separates them from your average Slag.
I found a black kat today at Candlestick keep
And Carnavons are immune towards freeze although they don't inflict it.
Mission Kats can have a Black Kat spawn in their place and they will drop Ancient Pages.
I would recommend running the first level of Alone in the Dark as it's in Candlestick Keep and has Spookats-a-plenty, giving you many opportunities for a Black Kat spawn.
