Scale Temper

[Zaejii]

Hey everyone!

I've recently decided to go all-in with blacksmithing on my shaman (mostly because a friend tossed me 100p to finish getting into banded range for our characters).

I was wondering if any of you knew of a good place to farm or vendor dive the blood for the Scale Temper (Froglok, Iksar, and Sarnak)?

I'm not opposed to trying to purchase from other players, though I'm unsure if these things even get looted most of the time...

Any help is greatly appreciated, and for note my shaman is only level 24 (so I won't be deep diving any dungeons anytime soon).

Thanks!

Sarnak blood you can get off the windmill vendor in LOIO, froglok blood from guk/vendors in Innothule.

Iksar blood, though...get more levels and hit Dalnir. You will be killing all the coerced in there to get the coerced iksar (necro) to spawn. It's rare.

Iksar blood also drops off the pirates in FV.

I've gone this route and while froglok and sarnak blood is plentiful, the iksar blood is indeed rare. I had success buying it off a few hardcore Old Seb raiders, because it drops off the Iksar Necromancers there. It drops off the coerced iksar in dalnir as well. I hear it drops from the Iksar slaves in Nurga but I didn't see any in a couple days of killing them there look for it. I've never heard about pirates in FV dropping it, but it is worth making a macro and spamming it there, because druids and wizards are quadding them a lot. I have, never seen the blood, but like people mention, it is rare [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just made a button when I was trying to get it together. I have one scale temper and one blood left myself, I need to hunt some down if I need to make more.

I'm too busy paying 1k for every alchemy skill up now though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It only drops off the Iksar pirates in FV, not the other race pirates. I leveled my wizard from 32-42 there and got 4 iksar bloods, without trying to just kill iksars.

There are Iksar pirates in FV????!!

a pirate
Race: Human, Dwarf, Barbarian, Half Elf, Iksar
Class: Warrior, Rogue
Level: 24-30

*And correction I leveled 25-34 off pirates then did drovlargs there to low 40's.

** You can often find bloods on the corpses from bard aoe's.

I sent my monk a-hunting and learned that the iksar pirates are pretty damn rare and saw no blood drop from the 2 I managed to spawn in the span of about 2 hours. Miraculously, there were no bards swarming in the zone for those couple of hours...which is a bummer for me, I guess.

In Dalnir I saw about six coerced iksar spawn with some really lackadaisical farming in an hour (and got one blood to drop), so I'd say those are better. You just need to have a way out since it's a one-way zone.

The iksar bandit lord pops very very rarely.

This is starting to seem impossible, so I'm just going to level and hope I stub my tail on some my people's blood I guess.

Do groups even go to Dalnir or is it a BYOG or just be high enough to solo?

[Sorn]

Dalnir is BYOG or be able to solo/duo as well as escape. Like I said, get some levels under you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's usually one annoyingly difficult ingredient in cultural, but some are easier than others. The problem with iksar vs high elf is that there are always people in MM getting essence of moonlights and never anyone in Dalnir or the like getting iksar blood.
