High-quality ra'tuk hides?

[greebmushroome]

so, what's the best place to farm them now? the last posts i see report great scarcity.

i'm thinking about re-doing my expert tailor trohpy since i got it w/ 0% advancement, my skill is 275, and i just can't find many combines to do these days.

thanks!

hmm there are a couple places id suggest, riwwi, ferubi are prolly yer best bet though some do spawn in natimbi.

I got a couple in KT while I was farming mountain wheat near Yxxta

KT?....not familiar with a lot of these zones...sorry

Kod'Taz. You need to be flagged to get in, either thru doing Tipt or the sewer trials.

I've also seen them drop in Barindu.

No, it is not via tipt or the sewers trial, it is through tipt only.

When the expansion was new you needed all 4 sewers trials, vxed, and tipt to be KT flagged, OR you needed smith rondo, vxed, and tipt. Smith Rondo and the 4 sewers trials were the interchangeable options.

I got mine at the zone in to baribu from natimbi. The two mobs at the fire pot either spawn ra'tuks or mastrucs (?? Spelling) but the drop rate is insane. Got two my first session then took 2 weeks to get last two. Easily single pulled and solo'd is the plus.

HQ Ratuk in Barindu

I farmed Barindu at Qinimi zone, Riwwi, Ferubi, and near Tipt entrance. I also killed the Ratuks in Kod'Taz near the Ancient Relic Protector pit (or whatever his name is). I finally I got 2, both from Barindu at the Qinimi zone. I'd say all Ratuk drop them equally but very rarely. A major hassle.

I got two HQ ones off the roamer mobs that walk around the center temple building in Kod'Taz. We just set up on the wall and slaughtered whatever roamed by. We were Warrior Bard and Shaman and they were not much a problem at all. We also got two Meldstones and a mess of other stuff.
