stuff like materials (mandragor roots is like material), golds and event stuff are not lootscaled, only money and trash stuff are loot scaled... money is obvius, and trash stuff is fast money just by selling it to merchant...

white drop -> loot scaling -> it doesn't matter, if you go full party or solo/duo farm (or does it?)

Guys pay attention.

It is really one mandragor root cake per gift but in order to get one cake you need 3 mandragor roots.

Am i right?

The official wiki does not seem to state whether collectable drops are loot scaled or not. But the unofficial wiki does:

"With loot scaling, players receive an amount of normal drops (common and uncommon rarity items, collectable drops, gold, common crafting materials) proportionate to the size of their party as compared to a full party."

So according to this, bring a full root-harvesting party guilt-free!

This means it is better to bring my other accounts with me when farming.

Yeah, that's why I stopped caring about the Traveler. I farmed 8 or 10 branches last time, didn't even bother to sell or exchange for gifts.

Farmed the hell out of those roots...did the run to nicholas about 10 times and got a total of 2 roots, but managed to somehow get 3 kournan keys, 3 of that mandragor boss's green shields, and 5 Luminous stones also dropped from stoneflesh mandragors....

*sigh* Ended up buying the remaining I needed.

Got 10 honeycombs, 5 cottontails, 5 blue rock candies, 5 mysterious summoners, and a traveler's walking stick.
