Forged drops for cultural robes???

[Moonlilly]

The Drolvarg's on the east side of FV drop Lichenclover quite a bit. So far they are the only mobs I've seen drop it.

Plains Roots

I'm finding these dropping off beetles in North Karana. NOTHING in West Commonlands drops plains roots.

I spent a couple hours at goblin camp in dagnors and got a stack of cauldron prawns. pretty slow, but better than nothing. Steamfont springwater seems to be more plentiful off most critters in the valley by the mino cave.

Erudite forages

Seahorse roe also drops off ...yup the seahorses.Just off the NE corner of the isle I think.Spiders and snakes as posted but I never saw any on beetles.A stack an hour is not hard and the longest part is waiting for repops.
The bamboo shoots are a joke.Only off pandas as best I can tell and as posted earlier they are a very uncommon bordering on rare drop.Compared to the seahorse roe I would say do not bother unless you have countless hours to waste and can forage and track as well.
The 3 easiest robes are not trivial at 199 but I have not tried any since then.The Salils writ page one is a very nice way to skillup.(Radiant I think).
Overall a very nice addition to tailoring although the bamboo shoot drops need to be increased dramatically.2 hours for 2 shoots is a disgrace.

If your forage is not over 100 your chances of getting any of the rare forage items is very slim -- or so I have been told.

I'm gonna haphazardly support this guess... since my druid's foraging has hit 100, when I run around gfay Regrenning myself to better merchant faction, and since my forage key is tied to my turn-right key, suddenly i'm pulling up Morning Dew like is nobody's bizwax! I'd make a decent slice of plat if i didn't crave it meself ^_^


EDIT again.
LoY cultural robes. I completely get it now. if you know what was here before, just write me off as stupid.

I get Morning Dew more than I do water when I'm on Faydwer with my forager. If these are still considered a rare forage then I'm the Easter Bunny.

Lichenclover

I was slaughtering everything the other day on the top floor of Dalnir, looking for Iksar blood. Still seems the best place for me, cause other two places I know (Windscorn in Dulak and Jail in Sebilis) I cannot solo farm yet. Dalnir is not so bad, mobs drop on average ~2pp, plus FS weaponry and mid-range gems.

But among other drops I got several Lichenclover. I think coerced goblins dropped it. Not sure though. Well, SOMETHING there dropped it.

Off Topic - Iksar blood

Just in response to Bregalads post.
The ruins in Warsliks Woods where the bracer of scavenging drops is not bad for Iksar blood.I think the rare pop guy who drops the actual bracer is the best source.It is rare though but I understand Iksar blood sucks to farm at the best of times.Messy camp.Low lvl trash adds all the time.Annoying but by no means fatal.

For those that have been or are planning on hunting pandas for bamboo, did you keep a log of your hunting? If so what were the number of kills for different kinds of pandas(cub, young, mature, elder)?

While hunting for prawns in DC with my 31 ranger(the one item I knew where to forage when this all came out) I seemed to get the most drops from the AQ Mariners and shaman with only say one or two off the Bosuns. I did not get a single drops from the tidal lords which I actively tracked while waiting for the camp to repop cause they were still blue

[OberonMiM]

I have gotten prawn drops from the tidal lords in dangors. So all of them can drop them

But as far as stuff like ashweed. In lots and lots of killings it appears that only the goblin warriors in lavastorm (the ones that say something about their master Hywhateverthegirlsname is). They seem to also drop the same ashmag etc that the goblins inside sol a drop. However i spent about 30 minutes inside sol a just to test and did not get a single ashweed to drop inside.

The least they should do is let the ones inside sol a drop em rarely (instead of a 2 spawn in a single zone that are on a 6 minute timer)

Luckily i hit 187 tailoring (found 9 bamboo shoots in bazaar for 3 gold each and hit 187 on my 8th dye.. phew)

But now i need ashweed and cursed clover (kos in overthere but i at least have a chanter who i can use to farm the merchants there). But alas i havent seen a single one drop

Oh and my observations on steamfont spring water seem to indicate that the kobalds near lesser fay zone drop them MUCH more often than the mobs near/in the minataur cave (plus they have much lower hp so i can slaughter them faster)

I had better luck getting bamboo shoots from the mature and elder pandas....but am pretty sure I got some from the others, too. Didn't get many from anything, though. lol

Merchants won't buy Cursed Clovers, so they can't sell them either.

I have found that the best way to get them (short of shouting to the zone that you will pay $BIGNUM platinum for them) is to either forage or kill the succulents (any kind, even the really low level ones, seem to drop it at the same rate). For best results, I sent a ranger to Overthere to do both.
