View Full Version : we need more sources of fresh mugwort

Rather than clutter up the pet job thread, I wanted to bring this to the dev's attention.
The new pet attack food Kusamochi is hard to come by, and when it does show up it's costly, due to one ingredient - fresh mugwort.
This item is a rare/very rare drop from harvesting (only about 6 areas according to the wikis) and certain Abyssea NMs.
(I've seen it pop up occasionally in my Mog Garden grove so I'm starting to hang onto them now until I get my cooking skill high enough.)
We all know Abyssea isn't as active as it used to be, and it's not worth the aggravation to fight the NMs for a 1% chance when you don't need anything else from them.
Also I don't know how many people are coming across this item while doing harvesting ROEs, or harvesting in general. (has anyone seen it in the Mog Garden furrows, or Adoulin areas?)
Please give us more places to harvest this/more enemies it can drop from.

Noooooo! My Market!

Anyway only reliable way to harvest this is in bhaflau thickets/giddeus, which I think bhaflau is better in my experience in gathering a few stacks per several hours. Or they can expand the synthesis kits to level 110 instead of 50.

My apologies to your market. Recent FFXIAH.com sales show only a few singles/stacks of mugwort being sold per day on my server, and very few if any of the Kusamochi gets sold at all. It's been pointed out elsewhere that the cost/rarity of the food is due to this one ingredient. Maybe the economy differs server to server.
Plus I was curious if new sources have been found. Like the Mog Garden grove, and Gamerescape lists Foret as a new place to harvest it.
So I really don't know if it's a lack of interest in harvesting, a lack of interest in the food, or a true rarity of the ingredient.
