    Giant wasp stingers.... I've been farming for 3 days now... 0 drops... the wasps themselves are uncommon.

      that is really odd. The data says they should not be that rare... rare, yes, but not that bad. About 1/hour.

        I have changed most things in this list to something else.

        Unfortunately it need a full patch to update, and one is not scheduled until 3/14

        I will look at the stinger, and one of the fletching arrows that have also been brought to my attention.

          Regarding Stone Beans. I recall getting them in the Dranik's Hollows Fire pits and not knowing what they were for, I kept them for a while, and they never seemed to be in demand in the bazaar so... ;p I think I destroyed them in a fit of bank cleaning.

          I know I got some from a fire pits, not sure what dropped it. Fighting in those instances and harbingers, bloodfields, draniks scar got me stone beans. I never kept track and am sorry about that fact, they didn't seem very important at the time (except that the name Stone Beans made me giggle and thats all important sometimes.)

          Hope that helps in some vague manner.

          take care,

            I don't recall ever seeing a stone bean. . .

            But anyway, the 2 quests I've done, and it's already been covered elsewhere (and Ngreth is working on fixing):

            Spell research requirement of Sample of Highland Sludge, which is a KT drop. It's required for 150, 200, 250, and 300 level quests.

            Smithing, the 300 level quest required Shimmering aligned ore, also a KT drop.

            I was a bit more forgiving on the smithing, since it was a 300 level only issue. But I posted several places about the Highland Sludge, especially when it's for multiple levels of trophies, because I felt that was quite unfair.

              I have made Many changes to remove ones from keyed zones, and way to rare. Unfortunately the changes need a full patch. The next patch is scheduled 3/14

                  If you are looking for KT flags, hook up with a level 68 enchanter. SoE recently changed a completely useless enchanter GoD spell to be a level 65 slow with resist modifiers. The next slow comes at level 69. The rune for the slow is the most common drop off of named in KT.

                  Additionally, there are many posts about Tipt strategies over on the enchanter board.

                  Shamans can also get a level 65 low resist slow from KT, but theirs is from the rarest rune drop.

                    Trade skill trophies

                    An outstanding job on the quests. I have completed 2 jewelers (level 5), 3 smiths (a level 3 and two 4s), and 2 tailors (both level 4) so far. The smithing was the most difficult and the jewelry way easy. Research (level 4) and brewing (level 5) have not been as friendly.

                    Stone Beans - same as everyone. I sent some hours in Nobles Causeway and Bloodfields without success. If it isn't changed, I'll try the Firepits, of course, but my previous attampts there were wipes.

                    Stunning Concoction I - I'm glad my one tailor was at 249, so he could get the easier trophy. It upgrades fairly fast; I raised skill to 251 and the trophy earned 8%.

                    Yaeths 50 Left - My researcher had already bought every copy available in the bazaar and made "Form of the Great Bear" for selling. Now there ain't none. It drops from "many mobs in many zones" <sigh>. Where to hunt?

                    Shimmering Nihilite, Shimmering Steel, Taelosian Mountain Tea Leaves - this wasn't an issue for me. I've never been to KT, but I always buy the rare drops from the Natimbi vendors when I hunt there and had a few in stock.

                    Ngreth has done an excellent job. I appreciate his efforts to make these trophies attainable.

                    Update:
                    I logged my brother's alchemist and tried to make Stunning Concoction. Either the recipies are broken or I was reading the wrong books. I visited all the alchemy vendors in PoK and Abysmal. Still haven't seen any Stunning Conconction in the bazaar.

                    I have seen Stone Beans in the bazaar. One for 30K and later for 20K, perhaps the same beans. I don't want a trophy that badly.

                    I was very pleased with my tailoring trophy. I made a journeyman trophy at skill 249, and it was an expert trophy before my skill reached 255. All those that ranted about making two trophies can stop fretting.

                      Add Girplan feathers as something else a pita to get. Is the main hold up on fletching.
