Trophy task changes in March patch?

[Cerpicio]

I've been reading about the lack of stone bean drops, and how some tasks require drops from keyed zones. These are some things the March patch is supposed to address, right?

What about the baking tasks and Nest Drake Meat? They seem very rare. Is this also being looked at or has it been deemed acceptable as-is?


Thanks,

Nest Drake Meat isn't that rare really, I have a stack or so and I really haven't done DON that much.

Nest Drake Meat

I have been looking for nest drake meat for several weeks now.
On Quellious there is none in bazaar and i have done several DoN's and even tried hunting the drakes in non instanced zones with zero drops so far.
Its very frustrating
If, as i have been lead to believe; the nest drake meat only drops in DoN missions then that would mean my lvl 30 Baker with her 200 skill cant get the meat by herself. I would have to obtain it for her with my main and that just doesnt feel right

Anyway just my 2cp worth. I'll keep hunting for the meat, and maybe one day get my trophy.

Nest drake meat is no more rare than Metallic drake scales.. I've seen it drop up to 3 or 4 times in a DON mission. *statue plans*grounding the drakes*creator* sometimes you get no drops, sometimes a few.. I don;t know about missions below 60 like someone was claiming at one point, was 70 either just before or just after DON came out.

On Bert, the nest drake meat seems really rare. Someone is selling 9 in the bazaar for about 5k. I have camped several different zones lookin for the meat, done several Nest missions in hopes of em.

None the less, I can confirm the Freshmen's recipies for Baking.

Lookin at the receipies for the Beer Braised Nest drake Soup, there was an error. The receipie posted here shows it needing one ground pepper, and to make them, you actually need 2 ground peppers.

ok.. on Fennin ATM.. 2 for 200p, and more up in the 1k+ range... but that's atm.. so no clue by the time anyone else reads this. but there are 6 or 7 up right now.

Nest Drake Meat drops pretty regularly in the Mission "Grounding the Drakes" in Lavaspinners.

I know there's another mission "bit of (something), bit of Drake" in Lavaspinners where you can get some Nest Drake Meat.

Nest drake

Nest drake meat sells on Tunare { IM eci } for anywhere from 3k to 25k. I bought one for 3k and made all the expert baking items but failed on the drake soup { was mad} I wont pay 20k for 1 piece of meat. with grand mater spoon on 263 in baking and i still failed on the hardest part to get i think. might try a don mission with 66 cleric just to get the meat. i wish people would'nt rip other players off like that since its not rare anymore.

I coerced some guildies into doing "Groudning the Drakes" with me, but we didn't see the meat.

Another guildie happened to have one though, so I'm now the proud owner of a Journeyman Baking Trophy.

Nest Drake Meat??

I have been searching for this meat ever since the tradeskill trophies came out. Looking in the Bazaar every day, (Usually at least 5 times a day) and searching all the vendors I can find, in PoK and Lavastorm. I have yet to see a single piece of nest drake meat. Also my Baker is not big enough to go on the DoN missions to get it on his own. Is there some other way to finish the trophy? Or can we maybe get a receipe that all levels have access to the parts needed to complete it ?? Thanks for listening.

You'd have to get yout friends or guildies to find one for you or you would have to get lucky in bazaar. On Maelin there's usually 1, maybe 2 meat at any given time thought they are often priced so high you probably can't afford it. I did snag one at 90 plat last week for the Bristlebane challenge.
