New Sea Dragon Meat drops?

[MedailMeadmezzer-eci]

KD drops 7 items normaly, 3 items items 4 spells and then he has, like all other mobs in the zone, a random "trash" drop for the 8th and i think a 9th. the meat was considered one of the trash drops before this change whent live, since the change whent live i belive that they (gms) just tacked on an 11th item that was the meat.

so i ask you, why are the mobs caped at only carrying around 8 items?? is it there inventory slots? and if so wouldnt it make a bit more sence that they would acualy "equip" the true items they would drop? IE KD with his spines, he would but them in is primary/secondary(if dual weilded and has 2) and peirce you, which he does when he has the daggers. but they still take up his "inventory" slots if this is the case. we have seen mutiples of 3 daggers + 4 spells + 1 gem and no meat. which wouldnt make sence if he was equiping his daggers like the melee damage says. This "should" allow him to drop 10 items in essnce, 2 daggeres equiped, 1 dagger inventoryed, 4 spells, 2 random "trash" drops for the mob/zone and then the meat.

but this is all a bit complcated and whats needed to fix the problem is simply move the meat drop up to the 8th droped item. so KD's loot table would look like: 3 items, 4 spells, sea dragon meat, 2 random "trash" drop. but mostlikly we would never see the random trash drop, unless the spells managed to not hit, which has been seen before.

I have a nasty feeling the sea dragon meat is going to become a real bottleneck for me. Seen 3 in bazaar from the same guy for 100k >.< and if it drops on 3 mobs on 3 day spawn times

Guess I am stuck with BPP for a while then, can't see me finding one of these mobs up with my play times and not spending 100k for 75 HPs

Guess you on AB saw these also 100K for each, 3 on trader *kicks self for not buying one seen on merchant few weeks back* not so much for the 100K (which I think is pretty insane) but to be able to try out new receipe

[ColdHeart]

Yes I am. Don't think I've ever seen one before and doubt I'd have known it was useful before. Wonder if the 3 dragons dead yesterday ;-)

[Ladwenae_AB]

Also on AB here.
Bought 5 sea dragon steaks for 20k each.
I simply cant be arsed to spend time on getting this drop and with the rarity that price doesnt seem that far off tbh.

I must say that a drop like Sea Dragon Meat only dropping off of 3 mobs which are on a 3day spawn timer is complete bs. It will be nearly impossible to obtain this item especially when people just about permacamp these mobs now. I would ask that SOE please think about adding this drop to more mobs that are not on a 3 day timer. I wont even bother trying this task unless I know I have a decent shot at getting the dragon meat.

For one thing: each sea dragon meat yeilds 5 steaks. So that is 15 per 3 days spawn. If you have the money, there is a number of steaks on bazaar (7 total atm on Maelin 75k and up) but if you don't have the money you will need to check TD and CS and hope to get the mob before other do. The third dragon is not easy to kill as it's raid level in NToV.

The dev who made this recipie was ordered to make some of the drop rare and you really can't get any rarer than this. Be glad they aren't using Nest Dragon meat, those are so rare many have never seen them.

It used to have Nest Dragon meat.

And yes, it is going to stay rare with the rare and difficult to get sea dragon meat. It is always up to each individual player for them to decide if the effort for any particular task is worth it to them.

[menaya]

Well it just means people who are willing to camp a mobs for 24+hrs are going to be the only ones who get this. Of course someone who gets lucky to stumble on the spawn may as well.

Fayd is definitely NOT on an exact 3 day timer. In the same time that I've found Fayd up twice, I've killed Xanzerok 8 times, with zero hearts. So, I'm more frustrated with Xanzerok at this point, especially since one sea dragon meat is enough for 5 BC's, but you need 2 treant hearts for 1 BC.

[Jekrnu]

What would really solve it is making the sea dragon meat no drop. Also the subsequent recipe, thus the blocking of Fay would be over, and honestly nobody really used the recipe before anyway.

-Just edited to say, I personally have seen fay up 2 days in a row, so idk, maybe 24 hour respawn? Or maybe the zone got reset and I just got lucky, but 2 sea dragon meats for me!

ummm Xanzerok is the trent in one of the karnas yes? cause i hate to tell you but the trent hearts your looking for drop from POR trents, not old world.

[Aetemius]

Treant hearts drop (uncommonly) from treants in Elddar Forest. I camped there today for 6 hours with 3 drops and Saturday for 8 hours with 7 drops. This was continous killing. The drop rate sucks.

You're thinking of Xanuusus in North Karana. Xanzerok is one of the 5 "Spirits" in Arcstone and is a big treant.

I've tried hunting the Treants in Elddar for the Hearts, but their AE seems to wipe me out pretty quickly...

[Lorilei Speedyfeetz]

ah, also in Elddar? Please tell me they drop off of the trash treants and not the named ones, heh. That makes life a little easier, since I'm in there poking at unicorns!
