| opps, meant to post that info too... sorry... Dungeonlord, if you kill the three mother drakes in the nesting grounds, it seems to make drake spawning MUCH slower, but only in that particular area. i've found they'll show up in alot of other places though, especially in the vale of ruin.
I also found that if you try to shoot the mother drakes to death, you'll get into a bunch of other fights, cause it takes so long to shoot em down... this often includes more drakes.
After you've done away with the mothers, you can still find the drakes in the breeding grounds... just past the shrine, heading back toward Arindale, there's a hill with two trees on the other side. I found running back and forth between those two trees was about the best way to force the game to spawn a drake.
