Question for those with Elemental Planes access

[Sullee]

It seems that the *tough* components to gather are the ones for the tempers and curing agents. It may just be bad timing, but I've never seen any of the elemental chain or plate armor offered for sale. How tough are the drops for those tempers?

Well.. the only elemental chain/plate worth making drops in Plane of Water. First you have to get people to want to fight hours in water (a battle in and of itself). Next you have to go deep into the zone to fight crab men (of which the guardians can hit for up to 1400).

Basically, it's a real plain to get any of the items, and you need a lot of them to make any attempts (go to the plate breastplate and do a breakdown listing... it's gross).
