Anyway, seems like someone could make a Google doc for players to log elemental sightings, and then after a few months, turn it into a map. If there was a new map, say...every 60 days, the migrations could be tracked.

Honestly, I've no clue how much work that'd be but the part about entering the coordinates shouldn't be too much trouble, so participation could be good.

If someone already suggested this, nevermind...

Elementals don't migrate though.  Once they spawn, they remain in the same tile until they die.  It what has made them easy to hunt from even hundreds of squares away.

I would suspect that it has more to do with the frequency with which they are hunted in each region, or even each circle.

That would make a lot of sense, actually.  They did spawn on "battle sites" for the first tournament with elementals.  

For reference: http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/main-elementals-rise-from-main-battle-sites_topic2038.html

When I was Sir Bradly, there use to be only water elementals in Arran.  After the big war and the launch of BL there was a massive shift in their distribution patterns.  

Now, Arran is loaded with all 4 types of Elementals.  If you scan the map you will see the southern areas seem to have an abundance of them.  The locations where the  biggest pvp battles were fought seem to be the highest concentration of Elementals.  

Is it possible they are spawning where the largest battles were in the war?  Could explain why Arran, Tallimar and Azura are loaded while the northern regions seem to have nothing.

Just a theory...

Season just changed, so it might be worth watching them for a bit.

Water, Earth, and Air elementals will probably make it over there fine, but I don't think the Fire ones are very good swimmers.

They are all migrating to Broken Lands.

Coincidence.  The elementals in Laoshin have been missing well before the fog.

Earth elementals used to constantly spawns near half my cities in Ragallon. I haven't been active in quite awhile, but whenever I do check the maps I don't see them anymore.

What did the devs do to them!

Elementals went missing around the same time the fog encircled several cities, coincidence?
