I suspected as much, but WTF - you're rolling in a 4-man party?!? How long did it take you to get all 4 of those?!?

EDIT: 2 more runs, 0 drops... LOLz

I'd guess he didn't do the boss with the heroes which is why they're out of range and therefore not able to take the drops. Probably just used them to get to the mob quicker.

ZZZ how many per hour - not a worthy farm, to be sure. 1 hour he got 4? That's about 3 deficit... 25k/hour min farm rate, take your pick (raptors/feathers).

EDIT: that doesn't include 7/8 assn UW farm that still works...

I 2-manned it for a while with a guildie, just us, no heroes, no henchies. Not a single moss from over 40 kills.

Skip week for me.

Ouch. Sucks for you. I soloed (no heroes, no henchmen, no other players) on my Rit and got 9 in 5 runs so far (goal is 20). Average was 1-2 per run. I got more Moss than Wallow Tusks

Farmed these yesterday evening. Took rather a long while to get five.. Decided to clear my inventory before going to Nicholas, and then lag-sold my mosses to the merchant!

I don't know if I can be bothered to farm another five now.

Two of us solo spirit spammed just about every Island Guardian in the game, in all different areas, for almost 4 hours to get our 10. Seriously annoyed to no end. Drop rate of these is stoopid. I think i could farm ectos out of the jungle with a better chance. However, Pongmei Valley ended up where we found the best chances for getting them.

I took three runs through Pongmei solo on the rit and had one moss drop. Ran through with a guildie probably 15 times, had another 4 total from that between us. The drop rate is truly dismal.

After 5 or so solo runs none dropped. Not at all worth the effort.

Farmed for about an hour yesterday with a solo SS and got 1. The drop rate on these is horrible.

And watch out for the plummeting drop rate as more people zone in to farm and trigger the anti-zone-farming code. By the end of the week it'll be impossible to get these to drop

Interestingly enough, I had better luck farming Scourgewind south of Leviathan Pits. I also got a bunch of green smiting staffs.

Had 11 after rot wallow farm got my gifts... sold the balance for 23k Not going to farm any more but will let you know where i got mine.

What I did back during the rot wallow farm was solo run to the collector on this picture. There is a zone portal close by. Now go around the coast following the paths...good luck on the drops (Boreas Seabed) Spirit pooper works well

i ran out of boreas seabed north with my r/rt spirit spammer (NM), hugging the wall to avoid outcast and naga mobs then west into the hills...there are 4-5 guardians along that trail. Got 2 moss off first 3 guardians, and about 1 moss per 5 guardian kills after that. Took about an hour to get 10 moss. They are selling for 4-4.5k in Eradon Terrace, which is ridiculous as gifts sell for that, but meh - if people are willing to buy (wtb's at 4k!) then i'm willing to sell
