Where can I farm the Words for LoY Robes?

[Hzark]

Is there a list anywhere on the web of which Words drop in which zones?

[Balagar]

some words and runes and other stuff

In the past few days, while killing Chromadracs in Skyfire for Essences of Sunlight, I've gotten:

Words of Obligation - Iksar
Tears of Prexus - High Elf
Rune of the Astral - Gnome
Rune of Inverse - Erudite
Rune of Cyclone - Dark Elf

[Hzark]

So 1st to 3rd level robe items drop in Skyfire.

If there is indeed no database in which to look it up here is my sixpennyworth:

1st & 2nd level robes items - Jaggedpine Forest (gnolls)

3rd level robe items - Old Sebilis (crypt)

I am looking for somewhere I can solo for 3rd level robe items (or higher), or group for higher level robe items.

I am level 58.

Another Question: Are research item drops zone-wide, or do they depend on the level of the individual mobs?

[Lilosh]

Totally independant of the Zone.

Research components are dropped from any MoB within 6 levels of the spell they are used to create.

If your looking for some of the higher level components look here.

[Veldin Darkfire]

Lilosh is not entirely correct in the statement made. A more complete statement would be

Research components are dropped from any MoB within 6 levels of the spell they are used to create, IF that mob has research components added to its loot table.

Now in the very old world almost all mobs will drop some form of lower end research components (some words, runes, items.. like tears of prexus)

With the advent of the higher level spells verant added some new words, items, runes to higher level mobs AND it seems from reports by others and my own observations that these items are not on every mobs loot table.

Do follow the link by Moonlilly to the Spell Research forum because you will find more info there.

lvl 44 to 49 research items

lvl 44 to 49 research items drop from Raptors in TD. I'd estimate 1 in 4 chance of a drop, and it's the only thing they drop. I spent a lot of time soloing there, and saved research. Some for skill, some for use, some for sale. These are tier 2 and 3 robes only.

BTW over 95% (all but one, i cant remember which.. but it is a rune) of these research items from Raptors could be used in celestial essence, for which I used it until new use for research was added. Saved over 4 pp per celestial essence compared to buying scent of marr from vendor.
