In regards to the original post, Nuggie and I were trying to farm velium hounds last night so I would be able to test the velium hound fur recipes. Even with ranger track, it was very difficult to find any up. There were, however, tons of ice burrowers crawling around the zone. As an example, at one point standing very close to the DN zoneline, there was 1 velium hound on track and 7 ice burrowers. Based on Byrjun's experience and ours, it looks to me like they properly have all the trash mobs on the same spawn table. Granted, its a very small sample size. =)

Velium hounds currently on beta can be easily outran with Jboots, it seems this was not the case back in 2001~ Also a post mentioning the other npcs the hounds share a spawn table with

Kept up almost pace for pace with lvl 57 sow. The only way for me to escape was to get to zone. Snare has been resisted everytime, (I have yet to land a snare on Hounds or Drakes). They hit HARD.
Mastodons, Brontotheriums, velium hounds, wyverns, and cragwyrms all share the same spawns. Unfortunately Wyverns and Cragwyrms are on Claws of Veeshan faction, so if you're trying to maintain good faction with them and that's all that is up, you're screwed.

They outrunned my sow (lvl 55) and Gladly I had Spirit of Cheetah memmed, and then bye bye Wolfie [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
By the way I'd like to know if they are soloables for a lvl 55 shammy, harder hit I took was 149 so I guess it's possible, just to know if they are slowables thank you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PS: J and Tboots are "only" 35% faster than normal movement, sow is 55% at lvl 50+, so take care you're not safe with your boots, giants and some high mobs will easily hit you while you'll try to escape them just a bit faster (just buy our potions to feel safer [You must be logged in to view images.
