Tae Ew Blood drop rate increased or...

[Narith]

Did I hit the mother load?

2 hours and I now have 10 bloods.

So my question is did anyone else notice an increase in the drop rate in massive porportions, or did I blindly stumble onto the mother load?

Posting this in the brewing section because the first step in using the blood is brewing so therefore we brewers should know a little more than the rest ;)

Yes they upped the drop rate on Tae ew blood. However the drop rate on Thul Tae ew blood is still very very poor. Got over a stack of normal and none of the Thul in several hours in 4-C.

So we've established that Tae Ew Blood Vial is needed for the temper fr the new CT weapons, shields, and armor. What's the Thul Tae Ew Blood for? Also for the same thing?

[Narith]

I thought Thul Tae Ew Blood was what the final product was called when combined with scale temper?

[Unmei]

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as Thule Tae Ew blood.

Tae Ew Blood Vial--Exact name of the drop in Cazic Thule. Seemingly drops from any lizard, brown or green.
Distilled Lizard Blood--The temper used to make the Tae Ew Chain
Lizard Blood Temper--Requires Scale Tempers, needed for the Tae Ew Plate and Weapons.

The blood drop rate is about 100x what it used to be. Our guild is getting lots of chain armor to make up for the horrible lack of chain drops in Hall of Testing (a typical 4-6 hour raid in HoT will net 0-2 chain pieces, all time record was 4 chain). Just at the entryway and courtyard there, we get enough in about 2 hours to make 1-3 chain items. 2 or 3 nites per week, and I predict it will be 3 more weeks before we have enough chain tunics and leggings for the chain classes in our guild. And another week for the bloods to make the weapons and shields for the guild also. We still have never seen a flawless hide for the leather armor, nor a pristine scale for the plate classes. The crippling limiting factor for the shields and weapons is the drop rate of iksar blood.

Other notes: in the last 3 weeks of farming this stuff, we have had 3 tae ew meat chunks drop (for baking). And yes, all 3 pieces of meat are in my backpacks. I have been the chief loot whore, errr, master looter, for the past few weeks. Make your clerics loot the weapons, they sell to vendors for 19p each, should almost cover peridot costs for the expedition.

Cook up the meat into candied tae ew - multiple yield, and sells to the vendor for up to 20pp a pop.
