Just wondering if there is actually a mission where you go to fight Grond or Kigatilik. And how do the item drops work? I happened to be flying around Lynx fold with my 40, and saw a group fighting kigatilik. Naturally, I joined in on the fun, but didn't team up with any of them. After it was over, I got the perk for defeating him, but that was it. No resources, and no item drop. I know that there was a drop somewhere, as some of the people were complaining about who 'needed' vs 'greeded' it. Yea, loot drama in zone chat, yay.

For Cosmics unrelated to any missions, only the player/team who did the most damage to it gets the drop. As far as i know, Kigatilik, Grond, Teleiosaurus are all unrelated to any mission.
After a recent open mission GM event, there were a lot of players all hyped up to hunt for Grond. I joined in on the fun. At one time, Desert #1 had almost 80 players, and it was mad fun. We didn't even use jump maps, just split up after he left and scouted for him. We got him down to 1/3 HP, but then i linked the jump map from the wiki, since it was starting to take too long.
It's just too bad Grond isn't stronger. There's actually no reason at all to visit the desert zone when you cross a certain level threshold. No missions or challenges. Well, except hunting for Grond, but he drops lvl 26 loot anyway. Not really attractive to hunt for a group of 40's.
Kigatilik can potentially be very frustrating for random groups, because he heals whenever he kills anything. Pets, players, he doesn't care what dies. Fighting Kigatilik is often best with a small, organized team. Having a couple of lowbies trying to take him on because everyone else in the zone is doing it too can cause REALLY long Kiga fights.
Teleiosaurus has the same issue as Kigatilik, she heals when she kill something. But she's even worse, since she has epic-strong 100 foot AoE's. Meaning, she can heal up much faster than Kiga simply because she can kill more at the same time.
