The womprat cure is available at pratically all Medical services (it also increases your health regen rate).

A few days ago I used the womprat cure before attacking the vendors, followed by the womprat. I killed in the order Jawa by speeder, Vendor by the pit, Vendor by Republic entrance and then womprat.

Nothing happened.

Had a very interesting conversation on TS with Requiem, Tecknik, Makuren and Aculeus about this.

Per patch notes, there is no Queen of Sands

It was removed from the patch notes and is in no Beastiary at this time.

This may very well come out next patch.

Interesting, but was the magenta crystal in any patch notes? I assumed they didn't post it because it's considered a world puzzle, similar to the magenta crystal puzzle.

Quick edit: Just a clarification, I'm almost certain the magenta crystal wasn't ever mentioned in patch notes because the devs had to give a hint on the forums in the form of the first half of a coordinate.

With the magenta crystal puzzle and the +10 datacron puzzle, I just feel like they've shown that they have interest in including multi-world puzzles. I don't think we should assume this all takes place on Tatooine.

Magenta Crystal is a hidden questline for it and a boss drop, didn' tneed to be in a patch note for it as the loot drop itself for the pattern, got people started on hunting everything down.

Magenta crystal wasn't mentioned as it was a Schematic from a world boss. The world boss was announced back in BETA and in turn, as a sub of that, was mentioned.

The +10 datacron is an easteregg put in for players who enjoy the thrills of puzzles.

As for the Patch notes, the "Queen of Sands" was mentioned then removed from patch notes, which was part of the arguement we were having in TS.

I can't say that's wrong, but I don't know that I agree with that line of thinking yet either. You may or may not be right.

I would hope the developers don't expect folks to look into beta patch notes to figure out puzzles. They seemed to just expect us to investigate things as we find hints in the game. At least, for the average player. That said, I don't think I'd expect them to put everything into the patch notes or on the forums. Especially if it would give away a puzzle they'd perfer to keep as a secret for players to figure out.

Although a new raid/world boss is a pretty big deal to toss in an keep quiet about, I could see them choosing not to note it if they intend on it being a puzzle for guilds like ours to figure out.

The community has shown that it likes puzzles like this. The magenta crystal had a few large threads going for quite a while.

Not in yet.

Something to consider for the future though... "(but depending on the method of obtaining it, we might not give you a road map!)"

So, I guess we'll just have to watch for any odd changes that may note the Queen of Sands is in.
