Quick Question:

Does anyone know of a good place to farm Befouled Silk? I love making 20 slot bags but most servers the price has gone so high its time to just farm the shit myself.
I see that the loot table for a crumbling gargoyle looks the smallest so you should stand a better chance of dropping the silk but alas the loot table is incorrect. Anyone found even a 1 in 20 or so drop rate or any reliable drop rate for these? please!
 
how many /hr or /day you thinking is good?
5/hr, 10, 20?
I sell about 50 a day from a 6-8 hr semi afk grind...they are a "byproduct" of my camp....

Yep, what Scotsbiker said. If I am looking for silks I just run a group in Grelleths for a while. No idea on the drop rate, but it's easy and hard for bots to do stupid things so they farm forever with no hang ups.
 
I will send a group to each and try it, thanks guys! will cent you all tomorrow when I get more clicks...

50 a day would be insanely good! can you pm me that spot?
 
Evantil will get you a few.. I used to farm them in the bottom level of the tree... easy afk camp there for them.
 
not interested in making money as much as making 20 slot bags, and I need to make a few hundred bags,....
 
i also did the bottom of the tree in Evantil as mark805 mentioned. the center spot in that tree is actually a safe spot to plant a campfire. good afk camp and also alarans so you can level Alaran Tear thing.

I have never even been to grelleth's, so this is all I really know
 
The TREE Rocks, and as an added bonus you get awesome 98-100 attunables! Stuff like

chitari Mask a thing that I use on a lot of toons when I don't have the necro skelly one...
 
Been doing evantil as well. The silk rate isn't outstanding, but easier to afk pull than the spiders in CC, and you get a decent droprate on the fragments of alaran history and some decent exp on the tear itself from the alarans there. Gotten about 110 silks over the past 3 nights.
 
I got about 100 silks over my 1st full 24 hour period, and about 50 befouled pelts too... will make them all into 20 slot bags for my army (with craftsman potion)
 
Anyone experience massive failures when making Transcendent Bags?

It was my first time making them and I FAILED on ALL of them... out of 40+ combines, not a single one succeeded. At first I did 10 530 trivial combines, then switched to 519 trivials (uglier looking tool belts ) and still failed.

This was with 336 skill (300 base plus Trophy at 12% 6/7)

Now I can live with 50% failure rate, but I am used to doing high trivial jewelcraft and tinkering combines with 500ish trivials which succeed about 70-80% of time.

Not even sure if http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=89688 would help

Maybe I need to evolve my trophy to 15% and give it another go at 345 skill.
 
That's ridiculous!

Maybe try looking at VT on your server to see if the mob that drops the +15% shears item is up. I got lucky and got mine after the first kill a while back.

My bad, you're right. I couldn't remember which items I snagged where.... also it makes sense now why I have a little lvl 2 dude camped there perpetually lol.
 
Thank you for resurrecting this thread. I recently bought about 8 kronos worth of 20 slot bags on my server and no one has em in stock anymore so it's time for me to make some myself lol

timing could not have been more perfect!
 
I usually farm the mats for around 800 bags, then buy the $10 craftsman potion and make all 800! no fails! No Loss! I am maxed and have trophy maxed and shears and without the potions its a dismal failure rate!
 
You should set up your afk team in the arena in Shard's. You'll get a full collection that you can use to pop extra AA into your team, silks and pelts, plus you can level the tear there.
 
Where have all the befouled silks gone?

Set up camps in SL, Evin, and Grell, seem 0 silks in a long while. Was gearing up some more toons and noted, there are no trans bags for sale, as no one has seen silks in a while.

Anyone know where they are still dropping?
 
How well are the bags selling on your servers? I need to find a way to make some cash for Krono (I don't mind buying krono form resellers, but playing for free would be even better). I haven't checked my server in a long time, so I'm not entirely certain what the going rate is. I think I would also deck my guys out in bags before I pushed them to trader, as well :)
 
last time I picked some up they were around 20k a pop. The Befouled Silks were 2-5k a pop. But the bazaar has been empty of them for a while so --shrugs-- will check the barter prices when I am ingame next time.

I spent this week in SL and part of last week. Month before I spent 2 weeks in Grelleths. I just moved to Evantil and set up outside the treen. LoS issues so I think I will move inside... but not seeing silks, just befouled pelts. Guess I am cursed... heh.
 
Make sure you check your "who drops this" list because they don't just drop off any mob, there are only specific mobs in specific zones that drop these (Just FYI).
 
i desperatly need these, been doing chelsith beach but got like 12 pelts/silks in 2 days! x.x
going to check out the tree camp, hope my team can handle it!

Only problem I saw with the tree camp was the lack of mobs (only like 3-4 per level, iirc). Not sure if people suggesting that camp meant for you to use MQ2Nav to pull, but if you're using LoS you'll be out of mobs very quickly.
 
I been farming grellath for like 3 weeks and I get 18 a day? anyone know in exact where for grellath? ive tried all in the open fields nothing. PM if you don't wanna share
 
entirely depends on how many your group can handle and how fast.

For instance, there is an AC aug drop just inside the castle, might as well sit there while leveling your guys if you need it, if you can handle the camp.

Or you can move into the smaller rooms for less mobs if you need more downtime between kills.

Or of course you can head to the more populated rooms if you can handle more mobs (like the pantry upstairs)

Allakhazam is not perfect by any means, as it works off of player participation. But the majority of reported drops seem to be off the piggies, and they are concentrated best in the castle for that zone he was mentioning he was hunting in.

These dudes level the tear, too? Or I guess the better question is, do fragments drop here?

I basically skipped all of VoA, RoF, and TDS, so I'm really not up to speed on those expansions. I quit right as VoA came out and then got back into it mid-CoTF.
 
I do not believe "piggies" raise your tear (or drop frags). For that shards landing (RoF) works best, but don't suggest afking there as that still sees ALOT of traffic for others doing tears ( have done 16 tears in the last year so am there ALOT myself). But silks drop there as well, and there are many good camps in the underground city. But I wish again to stress...do not afk there as I have known 3 peeps (5 toons each) to get banned in last 3 months for afking there.
As for tree, you could also pull different levels if you use adv path and create a pull path up the tree. Isn't near as good as shards, but worked for me.

Yea, I got a couple silks from the arena area while I was mass pulling literally everything I could to the middle of the arena. I would run out of mobs for 10 minutes at a time, so it's kind of super fucking boring, honestly.
 
Tree camp is working for me, i do have to wait for respawns, but its like 5 minutes. My group is not that hot yet, 103 war. 103 clr. 97 enc. all grosly undergeared, so its nice that i can do it and not die too often lol. 50 silks a day aint too bad either.

Are you just pulling the mobs on the bottom area inside the tree?
