Conclave of Warlocks is looking for Kelpie Liquor!

Travel to islands in Explore and hunt Kelpies to collect the samples:

---

Visit our exchange station to trade Kelpie Liqour.
Offer is valid until November 8th, 23:59!

Kelpies are menacing carnivorous water creatures who hunt near the shores, mimicking algae, stones, and driftwood. Unfortunate bypassers are eviscerated, dragged into the deep water and devoured leaving only a blood trail leading to the water.

There are rumors that Kelpies have incredible regenerative abilities, don't age, and are practically immortal. Truth or not, but they have the fame of being indestructible in battle. It is advised to avoid them at all costs. The Conclave of Warlocks became interested in researching these peculiar creatures, and they promise to share their finds with you if you provide them with enough test samples.

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESS!!!!

(I may have overreacted a TAD bit)

Is there any territory type they are found in? I've searched only 2 islands and seen nothing yet. Has it started? Going back and hunt some more.

I found mine in plains, ive found 2 far

OK. I was wrong. 

Thank whatever deity is watching over me that I was wrong.

Edit: Ok, I found a kelpie. These things hit HARD, geez. Acid strike AND poison? And regen? Like fighting a perfect cockatrice without the GP. I'm inclined to say these arses are just like etelia, but I'd take them over etelia any day.

I've done 14 grasslands, zero of the new beasties. Gonna try another land before I run out of islands for the day.

Id say they are everywhere, except volcano, of course

I think they appear on any island. They're not disguised as anything, they show up very clearly as the kelpie image shown in the news. Though yes the rate of finding them is abysmal. Almost as bad as the hopper eggs. I've searched like 8 islands now and found just that one mentioned above.

Yep i just found one on volcano XD

Ive found my fourth one! Sort of newbie is in the lead!

Edit: Ok im out of portal energy, still only 4... but seeing how much stuff there is to buy with it i cant decide!! Lol Im thinking pink and yellow fish eggs with 50% DCA... once i get those maybe ill treat myself with some apparels if i have the time >:)

Lucky you, I'm gonna try more. Haven't found any yet

this is great XD already found a few

it would be cool if they became a new kami though

Argghh, what kinds of pets did you guys use? In which biotype? Why haven't I found a single scale yet *grumpy* :(

savannah - have found 5 

and using kami and lykos

Can confirm one encounter in desert biotope. They seem to be quite rare to find though

And I'm surprised they are even at Volcano :D

I was super excited to start this one-i thought at first it was a new kami! I wanted a seaweed pony!

But it's still good.
