Dark Matter

[Fyrmana]

Infused dark matter

raw infused dark matter drops in the trials that are entered from the Kod'Taz zone. Will update later on trivial for making class 6 mana batteries and the assosiated combines for raw infused dark matter

pretty much from what I'm seeing is that there are two levels of tradeskills loot tables. For lack of originality - we'll call them "tier1" and "tier2".

The tier1 table would include "raw dark matter" along all the other tradeskill drops for the lower trivial recipes (i.e. aligned ore). Tier2 would include the upper end items like "raw infused dark matter" and other tradeskills with the higher trivials (i.e. shimmering ore)

All mobs have a chance (a very tiny chance) to drop something from Teir1 table.

Tier2 (from what i've read at least) is only dropping in advanced flagged zones.

My speculation as to why drop rates are so rare is that Gates was not intended to be "farmed" for parts. Drops will occur if you kill lots of stuff. But dont expect to be able to target X mob for Y tradeskill item and loot bags and bags of it.

dark matter trivials

dark matter (refine) triv = 15; combine 1 x raw dark matter; Yield 1 x dark matter (occasionally also yields 1x grain of dark matter or 1x portion of dark matter also)

infused dark matter (refine) triv = 15; combine 1 x raw infused dark matter; Yield 1 x dark infused matter (occasionally also yields 1x grain of infused dark matter or 1x portion of infused dark matter also)

dark matter (from grains) triv = 16; combine 5 x grain of dark matter; yield 1x dark matter

infused dark matter (from grains) triv = 16; combine 5 x grain of infused dark matter; yield 1x portion of infused dark matter

Grain of dark matter triv = 16; combine 1x dark matter; Yield 5x Grain of dark matter

Grain of infused dark matter triv = 16; combine 1x portion of infused dark matter; yield 5x grain of infused dark matter

portion of infused dark matter triv = 16; combine 1x infused dark matter; yield 2x portion of infused dark matter

Mana battery - class Five (from dark matter) triv = 84; combine 1x dark matter + 1x battery casing 5; yield 1x class 5 mana battery

Mana battery - class 6 (infused dark matter) triv = 102; combine 2x portion of infused dark matter + battery casing 6; yield 1x class 6 mana battery + 4x grain of infused dark matter;

combines that do not work for class 6 mana battery

1x portion of infused dark matter + 1x grain of infused dark matter + 1x battery casing 6
1x portion of infused dark matter + 2x grain of infused dark matter + 1x battery casing 6
6x grain of infused dark matter + 1x battery casing 6

infused dark matter is random drop in Kod'taz and associated expedition zones

I foraged one in Natimbi.

as stated earlier in the thread the foraged matter dust is not for tradeskills. Look at the item descriptions closely before posting
