It's been a while since I've seen him, but today I had time to help hunt the fairy and got the bandit instead. Not too surprising that he'd choose to hang out at Jewel of Alet Zhav (UURRR).
I just caught him at the Pools of Slime - my first time, and very likely the most lucrative I'll ever see: That's URLL (R). Bummer that it's all going to be downhill from here, but 2k is 2k!
I'm going to start this thread up again. While we get closer to 5th anniversary celebrations it's a good time to restore, de-rust and then totally rewrite campaign parties for some farming! Found while Loot Fairy hunting. Double dipped him at Jewel of Alet Zhav for URRR (R) and UURRRE (R). Thanks to PKB for the co-op +loot.
Found Bandit at Secret of the Gnome Lords. UURR (R) Good for 140g. Second run co-op: UURRRE (L) 1340g. My best bandit to date. Never give up not stopping ever! (L) Count Yurik's Goblet (The birthday league pizza I won went to good use buying club) He is one stealthy rogue. There are long stretches between finding him but it's all worth it for that awesome "Wow! You've Found the Hidden Bandit's Stash!" message.
Reminds me that I just found the Bandit yesterday after completing Secret of the Elder Mind for the first time. For those wondering, I still got the guaranteed Riptide but the rest were treasures, including a Countess Jovana's Portrait.
Found the little treasure hoarder at Riddle of the Gnome Lords for UURR(R) and at reset for URRR(R). I did find him between my last post and this post, but totally couldn't get to the game for the reset so I never bothered with logging it here. Good Luck, have fun!
Secret of the Gnome Lords for UURR (R) and then UURRRR (R) in co-op at reset. Melting gnomes is so satisfying to watch.
