so maybe its a drop then? i didnt forage in umbral very long i went to shadow so i could fish and forage lol. Andarriel
I got quite a few when killing in the little village in the north of ME. Can't tell you which npcs sorry, was just mowing down npcs for experience and named. Looks like this if it helps:
Too rare. Ive got 1 so far. Maybe its supposed to also be foraged but forage isnt working? Wouldnt be the first time.
Compared to the last expansion seems the tradeskill drops are harder to find least i dont see much for sell in the baz compared to the last expansion which is not good. Andarriel
When CoV came out, the drop rates were low at the start, and then modified a few months (or month, I can't remember) in. I'm wondering if it's the same - low drop at the start, and then they'll modify the rates later. So far, the drop rate from T1 zones does seem more "rare" than "uncommon".
Definitely not SUPER rare, I got 5 from the camp I mentioned above. I haven't been back but they're still just sitting in my inventory: Collection items are all -1 as I clicked 1 of each for the achieve, but otherwise that is my haul untouched (if that gives some sense of rarity relative to other items that drop)
From progressing group content and not really doing any other "farming" as such, have 20 silks, 6 hides, 17 planks, 14 ores, 2 garnets. Barberry, I have 1.
There's a way players have found to increase the gathering rate by 6x. box But if you're not boxing the drop rate is dismal.
These are droppable only. Like the Velious Honeyberry in CoV zones. I have foraged for hours, with a maximum AAd level 97 Ranger, In every ToL zone except Bloodfalls. I have never foraged a single one in the many 100s of items found. My 117 Rogue has seen this drop, albeit semi-rarely, in every zone except Maiden's Eye and Bloodfalls (no access yet.) Another interesting thing about ToL foraging. In ME you can forage all plant based poison components. Every other zone seems to only have one component available. Each zone seems to be a different one. Not sure if this is by design or not.
There forage only or there be a ton for sell in the baz. Last night there were like 3 people selling them but in the 7-10k range. Kinda annoying as they make the best drink in the expansion. Andarriel
