Does anyone have a good spot that BD's drop on a good consistent basis? Thanks in advance.

[Fox the Clever]

Unfortunately, no. There is not one particular place in Norrath where those much desired gems drop on a consistent basis. The very best I can do is to post this link from Allakhazam's. It's a list of what critters and zones from which this gem can be obtained:

Just check it out and decide for yourself where and what you'd want to hunt.

Good luck, and may the random number generator smile upon you!

BDs drop pretty much any in 55+ zone. Kunark and velious are my preferences (easyer content).

A long time ago when Iused to hunt the werewolves in plane of nightmare they used to drop fairly well there. I am not sure if the drop rate was nerfed or not. But as a druid, it was just charm a bird and slaughter them all. Pretty easy farming.

They use to drop rather comonly in Sebilis off of the scarabs, but unfortunately that was nerfed quite some time ago. Lately, I have just taken to solo'ing in PoP to get my hands on BDs.

I found that they tend to drop pretty well in Nadox. For 70, they're low end dark blue, easy to kill mobs.

I used to get them fairly consistantly in PoHate after the revamp and the dropped armor can be turned in for gems too so all in all it was fairly easy for me to get them there. Just be sure you have a way to port out as there is no zone out.

PoJ basement was my most reliable spot- good if you can get exp there because I wouldn't call it farming by any means (similar to getting crushed diamond dust)

When PoP was released, there was a flood of BDs in the market. So much so that you could find all that you could want on vendors.

PoP zones still have the best rate of BDs but so few people still hunt there.

IMHO the best place, but difficult to get there solo (unless you can FD). PoN caves, off the mephits past the second drop down. Quick respawns and the *majority* of the them do not summon and are rootable.

Their loot table is small. As I recall, they only had 3 gems (peridot, diamond, Blue diamond) plus mephit blood, hide, and the ever-elusive midnight stone. Many of them would drop 2 items from their table.....

I loved that camp when I was farming tailoring supplies when pushing for 300. I just wish I could have bound there.

I've seen Nadox suggested for BDs in a few places, but 8 hours or so killing near Hate's Fury trying to level my evolving item netted 0 of them. Not sure if this was just my luck or there are different rates for different mobs.

A previous few evenings killing in Grieg's End netted me a stack of BDs...not a lot for the time involved, but relatively easy/fast kills.

I was killing the creatures underwater in Natimbi one evening as an easy solo. Four BDs dropped. I went back several times and tried again and never got one.
