Players:

List here crafting recipe items that do not appear on the server either as a farmable resource or as a drop, whether it's a type of wood, ore, gem, etc.

Thanks!

Kings Tears

Alchemical gold

(two that I know of, at least)

[Lotus]

King's Tears have dropped in the past.

By alchemical gold, do you refer to lacking a gold mine?

[Dispater]

I am not sure they are still out there. The Veritas chests used to spawn them. I am not personally aware of anywhere else people have found Kings tears.

Snake Skin (required for Ring of Freedom)
Pearls (required for Arcane Pearl)
Dust of Disappearnce (required for Ring of Invisibility)
Gold (Lacking Gold-Mine)
Hag-Eye (Required for Gem of Seeing)
Thistledown Cloth (Required for Boots/Cloak of Elvenkind) (Never actually seen this drop ever, but it was at some point since I purchased some a long time ago from Angus)
Iron, Cold-Iron, Adamantine, or Impervious-Adamantine (WHY?) bracers (required for Bracers of Armor) (I dont think they actually exist as blueprints, actually. Doubt and I discussed it one day)
Beetle Shell (required for Brooch of Shielding) (need to verify the name)
Crypt-Crawler Carapace (required for Cloak of Protection +3)
Frost-Giant Heart (required for Cloak of Fortification +2) (Not seen these drop since Frost-Giants no longer appear to spawn, I might be wrong)
Ghoul-Claws (required for Gloves of the Hin Fist)
Snake Fang (required for Mild-Poison Arrows/Bolts)
Belladonna (required for tanglefoot-bags)
Fish-Oil (Required for FreeGlide/FarEye)
Spittlefist Ears (Required for KeenEar)
Rat-Tails (required for SureGrip)

I'm uncertain if Treant-Twigs are still in the drop-table, as I have not seen them since the last drop-table-revision, though they only dropped from Brugar the Stalker that I knew of, but I havent killed him much, and it was low to begin with.

I'll check if I missed anyhting when I verify against my database tonight.
This isn't including the FUBARed alchemical items used in other plans (holy water, Boiling-Trolls-Blood), since some patterns require casting the spell on the chemists bench, which isn't configured to run caster-checks, so it just lights the table on fire/glowing/stuff. . . .

Cheers,
Kit

There aren't any alchemy recipes to transform glowing essences to Radiant ones. You have to get a Berzerker's Eye, etc or wait for drops at Whurest. If I am not mistaken there is one of the radiant essences that is exceptionally rare. Perhaps Radiant Air. Perhaps that is by design too.

My experience... Pearls were the hardest gem to find.

It has been a long time... so take this with a grain of salt.

Cheers!

Kit, if you have superlogs of this stuff, just make that available to me. I'm looking for materials that aren't in the drop table / don't have means to acquire, recipes that don't work, items that don't come out as advertised.

Thanks!

My understanding is that is deliberate. The way it was put to me "So that we don't end up with a bat genocide when someone needs a brilliant essence".
High tier reagents are required to distill into the high-tier essences.

Most of it is memorisation and looking over the crafting 2da. I'll send you what I can compile when I get the opportunity, sure! Are you just working on item-crafting, or should I include material from both nx2_crafting.2da and nx2_enchanting.2da?

Nothing is intentional with this crafting system.

[Fury]

My understanding of Kings Tears is that they used to drop, but do not anymore. About the only way to get them anymore is to raid Andelain's vault.

[Lotus]

Keep it coming.

[OnyxTigress]

King's tears used to drop at giants. But well, can't do that anymore.

[Memnoch1962]

I'll go through my notes and Dante's stuff. I doubt I'll be able to come up with anything that Kit hasn't already mentioned. but who knows. I'll give it a look.

[Farmboy2003]

There's an highlight-able vein in the old gold mine in the new IWD areas - But I'm not sure If it yeilds gold, my few attempts to test it were fatal, due to the mobs there.

Cold iron should be mine-able in the giant caves in the Viridale, but last I went there, the veins were broken. Or maybe it was the darksteel. Perhaps I should log in and check. It's been too long.

Great initiative!
