HELP! Give to the Poor/Crime Pays/Lightbringer in Alik'r Desert

Cadelay · October 2015

Can anyone that is familiar with Alik'r please tell me where they know the merchant/beggar/campfire to spawn?

These three achievements share spawn points in every single zone. I have completed all zones except for Alik'r Desert, despite having traveled to the indicated points on my Destinations addon since the very beginning! It is extremely odd that despite doing the exact same thing I did for every other zone in the game, I have not gotten one hit in Alik'r. This makes me think that the points I have are wrong, or worse, that I am somehow glitched and this achievement is not completeable for me.

Indeed, one of the Destinations points is in the middle of the desert instead of on the road, and one is in the ocean! Seems unlikely. The problem is, I cannot find a single recent verified map/coordinate on the internet that I haven't already checked. It is also odd that I have traveled the entire map without ever spawning one instance, because Alik'r is my Cadwell Gold zone, so it is very empty from other players spawning, and I have gone in the middle of the night too!

Here is my map. The red circles are where Destinations says these achievements spawn. The green flags are my custom pins based on what I have read from the limited information on the internet.

Help would be greatly appreciated as I am incredibly frustrated.

I can verify his Alik'r Desert coordinate for PS4/NA.

Looks like the point where you have two green flags is correct. That's at the intersection that leads off to Leki'sBlade, where there is a rock formation and a quest giver on one end of it. I don't remember any other spots, and I think this is where I got all three of mine for the zone achievements. It just takes a lot of frequent porting to check for one of them to appear.

The point where you have the two green flags is correct. If you go to the closest wayshrine and then move along the road, you will find them just past the fork on the road (there may be someone sitting on a rock to the south of the road), they will be right past that point on the south.

The one "in the ocean" is also a correct spot. If you move from Sentinel wayshrine towards that point, you are going to see a rock face ahead of you, just as you are getting to the ocean. The point is right by that rock face as you come up to it.

I've heard that there is a cooldown after you find one and that triggering one of the summoner/fighting mages/merchant being attacked events will reset it. There is one of those spots right outside the "out of town" exit of the Sentinel Outlaw refuge.

Good luck! It took me a while to get all of DC done. Now I need to finish the AD spots.

Yep, I haven't updated my post that @Drax76 linked to you, but I can confirm the one I screened (the one in the middle south, hidden behind the wayshrine on your map) and the one to the far west too, though the location is more close to the quest giver in my memory. Here's a precise screen (you can even see the argument for Lightbringer in the chat box

)

Thank you everybody for your help. I completed all 3 achievements. One thing I have learned is that the Destinations addon is incorrect because it wasn't adjusted for a map shrink that happened in Alik'r. The points are set for a bigger map.

So that no one experiences the immense trouble I did, I found all three of the achievements at one location, (78,42), to the northeast of Kozanset. Here is a map of where I was standing on the spawn point.

I also found one spawn by the ocean, as indicated by Usara above.

Good luck and happy hunting!
