Curse

The drops were incredible! Not only were there tons of plant fiber, we got a ruby out of a geode and a sapphire out of a jewel dagger, also TWO black dyes dropped!

I can't even remember the last time a black dye dropped for anyone in our guild much less two.

And after weeks and weeks of sapphires going down in price it suddenly went up.

Nice.

Unfortunally, Nick's gifts was the usually stuff. Oh well, can't have it all grand. Still nice.

In which outpost ppl sell it ? I've been looking in Sunspear Sanctuary and Venta Cemetary and there was empty.

Might try Mihanu Township since some will be farming Holdings of Chokin per above maps.

Only 11 in storage, might farm this, don't have good memories of high drop rates on these for some reason.

One and a half runs in Holdings of Chokin was all it took, reasonable drop rate and over 200 plant fibre.

I was hoping that. Now to go through mules to locate the ones I hope I saved from that short stint he was there last time.

Is this the 1st repeat?

thelessa · Oct 31, 2011, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Not a repeat, he was there by mistake and they moved him to the correct place when he was there before.

I recently brought my Aeromancer through the Asuran Lands and saved the Krait skins. Got a lot! So this information for those without a farming build, collecting 15 Krait skins with a full party should not take long. You should get 2 or 3 per run outside Vlox's Falls and in Magus Stones starting from Rata Sum. A reduced party of 5 may work. Happy hunting!

I wonder when he starts to repeat(5 more weeks) if Anet will throw us a curve ball and make it completely random.....because if he's gonna repeat the same order it's gonna be easy from now on, on days I have time i could collect for 3-4 weeks, maybe more.

For a while that's exactly the same thing I've been thinking. And something else I've been guessing is that they may replace some of the items with stuff that he hasn't asked for this round.

Farming was pretty easy for this in arbor bay, just wanna point out Arbor bay is todays Zaishen vanquish. With so many kraits around you are bound to get some.

This is actually my plan as well, though as wiki states the collector's items drop rate is lower in hard mode. Still, any drops while vanquishing saves me the trouble of farming later.

wilebill · Nov 02, 2011, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Ah yes, vanquish. Arbor Bay was a lot of fun to vanquish. Lot of Krait and other critters out there.

In the entire vanquish I got one (1), counting them was easy, 1 krait skin. When Da Kenster says collector's items drop rate is lower in hard mode, verily it is an understatement. While we are at it, the rest of the drop loot sucked as well.

Got 5 Cottontail Tonics...turn into a rabbit :P

Sage Lands, 2 Ancient Eyes

Confirmed

Many Wind Riders in Mamnoon Lagoon

With a speed boost on you can run there in 1 minute (no fighting).

There are 2 groups of Wind Riders at the zone to Mamnoon.
Zone back and forth until you have your Ancient Eyes... doesn't take long.

The above farm works pretty well for a spirit spammer build. Space the spirits out a little to avoid trouble with cry of frustration, though I think the problem it creates is negligible.

Here is another screen of the map to Nick.
