Question - Fine and Excellent Silk

[RetNavChief]

Anybody know a good spot to farm Fine and Excellent Silk? I'm getting frustrated as when I go to EQtrader and search for those silks and it lists what zone and mobs to kill and when I do kill them, nothing. Thanks in advance.

Try these two notes from *Some Dude*

Fine Silk - zones like Acrylia Caverns, Velketor's Labyrinth, Crypt of Decay, Veksar and Siren's Grotto.

Excellent Silk - zones like Halls of Honor, Plane of Fire, Dulak's Harbor and Veksar.

There is no silver bullet. Just find a zone with the correct mob levels to drop the silks, and then kill humanoid creatures in the zone. Unless the mobs are humanoid or spiders, I don't think they drop silks or pelts. I checked in my tradeskill houses, and I have one stack of fine and two stacks of excellent. That's after years of levelling multiple groups. All other types of silks I have many, many stacks ....

As Red said, Overseer might be your best bet if you don't need a lot or have a lot days to collect them.

i feel like i got a ton of exellents out of barindu and vxed

tbh, best results for farming tradeskill mats is to find zones youd like to farm a few items in, and just set up pocket farmer type toons. all these global random drops will start to pile up. I did a bunch just getting the mats required to max my AP.

Other zones you can try would be LDoNs, dranik catacombs/sewers, Yxxta, the hive.

For fine silk, maybe give griegs end, sanctus seru and nadox a go.
