Elven Blood...?

[Brut]

Has anyone found any mobs that are a decent source of these? I've run around all over Faydwer now, and just about everything elvish stubbornly refuses to produce anything hemo-related. So far I've tried lfay EmeraldWarriors outpost, lfay Nybright camp, bandit camp in gfay, that elf/dorf/gnome-camp in Dagnor's Cauldron, slaves in Crushbone, sisters in OOT, dervish cutthroats around the ro deserts, the trash mob dark elves in MM... Only elven blood I've had drop until now was from one of the hunters roaming innothule swamp, and I've killed those guys like every time I run through the swamp (alot!). =/

Any ideas? Have 3 stacks of human blood in bank and I want same amount of other two for ready when cultural smithing comes out! =X

Edit: Yup and the bandits in gfay appear as either half elves/wood elves. Even the wood elves just drop human bloods. Rats.

banker in kelethin drops 3x elven blood each time he is killed

[Tryfaen]

Vendors are probably the best place to find this blood

Since you've done it before, you can probably help me out by showing an example? =O

[nilbog]

Bankers don't have loottables. :o

I wouldn't recommend it.

Will look into where all the blood needs to drop.

[maultar]

Was this ever looked in to Nilbog? I will assist you in any way I can to expedite this. Footwork, monetary, or otherwise :) Thanks

[nilbog]

FootworkIf I can produce links and quoted paragraphs for most everything I fix, I expect the same to be done for me. I never got a chance to look at this because I didn't take an hour learning what elven blood does, what elven blood did in 1999, and what needs to be done with it.

When posting bugs, please assume we do not know wtf you're talking about.

Well I think Brut's and I cover is blown. I think we were trying to be vague because we may have known what answer we might have gotten. Elven blood is mainly used for troll and de culture armor which is of course not classic. But it is a needed step in skilling up blacksmithing past 115. Otherwise all you have is fp visors that triv at 163. Ores for visors are 20 plat a pop. Thats pretty spendy for many fails that you will no doubt get.

All the other components for culture are in game especially the essence of shadow that drop from shadow men. It's only use is for de culture armor. So I figured if it's in game so should the elven blood.

I'll try to find more info but I think we know our answer. I guess we bottleneck at 115 unless insanely rich. It may have been classic but that doesn't make it right. lol

Those have all been hit on p99 and no drops.

So I need a list of things to remove? :o Lots easier to remove than add. When should it become available?

I feel you but that pails in comparison to skilling up on platinum jewelry-craft. that's 100pp a shot just for the platinum bar. :(

EDIT:
Cultural tailoring kits were made available in fall of 2000.
Still looking for info on smithing.

Yes but whats your trvial gap? 115 - 163 like smithing? Do you at least have a chance of producing an item?

[guineapig]

Best I've been able to find so far is that these spells:

Enchant Adamantite
Enchant Brellium
Enchant Mithril
Enchant Steel

are listed as classic era according to the spell lists on thesilversandbox.net

The spells themselves are listed in patch notes from April 17, 2001 at which time the gem components required for these spells were removed:

** Spell Changes **

- Removed Gem component from the following spells. They will now only
require the metal components. These are the Enchant spells for making
cultural armor.

Enchant Velium
Enchant Mithril
Enchant Adamantite
Enchant Steel
Enchant Brellium

Nvm it was post. Oh well :)

i was merely providing nil with a list of mobs that could drop the elven blood if he deemed it appropriate to add them :) not insinuating that you were looking in the wrong place.

Oh sorry, been a hell day and between work and my wife I'm defensive and full of piss and vinegar. I should have provided that for him per his message but it is all from Kunark so it's futile.

[Kluren]

Lol Maultar I remember you. We were in Sign of Unity on Prexus. And if I remember correctly, the wife is the reason you quit...hehe

[maultar]

Hah no, I quit because i lost interest. around GoD. I couldn't keep up. It's hard to unless you're in a top guild. Fixed that this time. I've played so many mmorpg's. I have MMORPG ADD :P But I've come full circle.

[maultar]

Well just to update, I decided to bite the bullet and spend 200pp on 10 ores. Then the visor molds are 5.5 pp a pop as well. Surprisingly I got 3 skillups out of 10 combines and 3 visors to sell. The skillups were not linked to the successes just a coincidence. So 200plat for 3 skillups not too bad and they sell back for cost at least. 25.x plat. I can do dis!

[Tumdumm]

not trying to get involved in the whole "are elven bloods classic or not" discussion, just stoppin by to say that elf models at bandit camp in gfay are still dropping human blood and the half-elf model bandits are dropping wood elf parts. haven't seen any wood elf parts off the elf models so far, will be here for 3 more hours making sure (and leveling)

EDIT: just got a wood elf parts from a wood elf model bandit. was an hour and a half after posting that

[Atennu]

Almost positive the level 27ish sisters on Sister island in OoT drop the blood.

[Nedala]

Brut where are thou? come on slack :(

[Darian]

Confirmed that Human Blood (used for Blood Temper, troll and ogre cultural recipe) IS dropping. Thus far Elven Blood (used for Shadow Temper) is not.

[Akame]

I got necromancer blood last night off of Torvaxsomething in qeynos hills. Is any of the blood supposed to be in game or is that a cultural item too?
