Help with drops & gathering places

If you are uncertain of how to acquire certain item, ask help in this thread.

I need help with these:
Buffalo Milk - Some page said, that amalj'aa drops this. Killed 30 amalj'aa (low and hight lvl) at Southern Thanalan, but didn't get a single drop.
Marbled Eye

I know both can be bought from vendor, but I like to personally gather my crafting materials. :p

According to the app nothing drops them.

i believe some items do not drop and must be purchased or possibly earned from quests. i'm pretty sure mineral water also falls in this category. i'd love to be wrong about this though...

Aldgoat Skin/Leather where find?

From Aldgoats around drybone.

you have to craft the leather. its made with animal skin. some items cant be found but can be crafted. such as the leather. i too tho am looking where to a find Marbled eye . i know where to buy it but id rather farm it. im pretty sure you can get by in the game without having to buy anything unless you want a shortcut

Bump for relavance

You can't, in 1.0 you used to craft them from nq elemental ore, but now you just craft it directly into the elemental jewel.

As far as I know, nothing drops Buffalo Milk. It has to be bought from the vendor.

Nope, nope, nope. Can't farm Buffalo Milk, Aldgoat Milk, Mineral Water or apparently Marbled Eyes. They all have to bought from the vendor. If you fish, CUL can make those fishmeal balls for bait, but most of your bait has to come from a vendor (I believe all the lures are GSM crafts, however). And you aren't getting to or from Limsa/La Noscea to the rest of the world without paying somebody 200 gil ot more unless you're homepointing (which only works one way, of course).
