...and it's called The Wakening Land. ;( I have to say, I have a newfound respect for tinkers. I'm collecting all the pieces for some clockwork observer armor that I desperately need, and have recently spent hours upon hours in WL. I looked around on eqtraders and spent a bit of time on the the tinkering.org messageboards, and didn't see any people say anything about drop rates other than "bad", so this post serves more than a catharsis about the horrors in WL. :P
I should've seen it coming though, as I spent over a year guilded with Pimm and firsthand knew he was insane... I enchanted hundreds and hundreds of bars for his jewelcrafting, etc etc, but this is bad!
But more than a rant, I'd like to know how my time compares to others, to see if I'm having some bad luck or am par for the course. The only pieces I need to drop are a pair of globs of tar for some bracers, having bought a faun hoof in the bazaar (a mere 59 plat..) so I didn't kill anything but tar goos. This thread may also serve useful if people list what kind of drops or time they put in for the other clockwork watchman piece drops in WL, to sort of collect a bit more info on them than exist on the boards here.
I haven't really kept track of the time I spent there, and even if I did my active time spent killing varies a lot due to talking on AIM or whatever other distractions. If I try, I can only kill two and med up before first one respawns.. and there are four spawns in this cave I'm killing at. Obviously if I could keep all 4 down it wouldn't be as bad. In any case, so far I've received about 13 oily goo secretions, 8 tar goo strands, and a big fat 0 globs of tar. I have already broken the spawn, which I assume happens when too many of those little tar goos that spawn when the big ones die show up... as an SK, I can run them off into the woods and FD them off, which saves a lot of time. So then, would you folks say my drop rate of the three potential items are on track? Maybe just a little bad luck, but nothing horrible (like for example, my 76 hour AC camp in OOT...)?
Again, seeing info on other drops in WL for watchman stuff might be useful to other aspiring tinkers or people collecting items for them. On the other hand, it may dissuade people from persuing the clockwork armor route. Alas.
