Words for LoY tailoring....

[Fenein]

I can't seem to find any words for the Loy tailoring...

I findthem in baz but they sell for upwards of 200 plat each.... and I can't aford that.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me where a good drop rate for Words of Expertise are... I have 60 ribbions.


Thanks

There probably isn't a "Good" drop rate for Words of Expertise.

They are a high level research drop, used in a great many spells. All high level research spells seem to be rare-ish.


Get expertise is a matter of looking HERE , and finding a zone where someone has found the words you need, then killing lots of random level 50+ mobs until you get the words.



In short, you wont get 60 of them, but you might get a few.

Getting specific research components is a royal pain. I've had over a dozen gold ocean dyed ribbons sitting in the bank for a couple of months now, and I have yet to see a single Words of the Ethereal drop - and that's "only" for level 49 spell research.

Good hint for you, I do this for my guild. When I vendor mine, I have a large list of research components that are valuable or sought after by guildies. I just compare anything I find to alphabetical list and if I find it, I buy it. They all offer me a few pp over cost for what I get them, and most of the rare ones go to bank for guild later (if I ever houseclean). Uncommon ones go to bazaar mule.

Depends on the research component. Some of them go for ridiculously high prices that have nothing whatsoever to do with the cost of the spell. For example, one that I recovered recently and checked prices on had the component going for around 200pp (and that was just one of the components) while the actual spells that could be made using that particular component went for around 50p at most...
And yes, ALL of the spells that could be researched with it were for sale in the Bazaar.

I've checked for Words of the Ethereal once or twice (the one I need). It seems to be another highly priced one, largely, I suspect, since the level 49 necro pet uses it. And of course level 49 researched spells don't drop.

Words of the Etheral is also rare in that is costs 10plat from a merchant, at best price.


Yes, I've seen it once or twice. But Runes of The Astral are much more popular, so I'lll just tailor with my gnome.
