Diremite Webs

Gigantoad skin is kind of a pain too. The drop rate from toads by Wineport is awful. I know there are higher level toads in Mor Dhona, which I haven't seen yet.

Okay, just to clarify. All tradequest leves have a cycle of rewards that they go through (in no particular order). Sometimes you'll get a material, others you'll get shards. In the case of the Lv. 20/25 leves in Quarrymill, you can get either Lightning or Wind Shards OR you can get Diremite Web.

As for me, I've been sticking to making Cotton Dress Gloves and just turning topping off my allowances every day, then farming the Banemites in North Shroud while waiting on the Duty Finder.

----Edit----

As far as difficulty, well... I think they should at least make it a drop from Diremites and Mitelings in the lower level areas just so that there are more mobs out there that actually drop it. Sometimes it's way over-farmed :<

----Edit 2----

It might be that you're awarded 10 Diremite Webs for the first leve you do per day and then it goes to giving you shards instead. I haven't seen any webs show up past the first turn in.

----Edit 3----

Nevermind, just got more Diremite Web, it's just more difficult to obtain.

The low level (20ish) ones in Thanalan drop them fairly well, I did some farming tonight and ended up with almost 60. That said I also farmed some Banemites for the Sinew and ended up with almost the same amount of webs in a shorter time, but only about 40 sinew.

Finally hit 30 with WVR today..not quite done yet but I should have enough Webs to carry me through.

At Quarrymill there's a level 25 Levequest, I forget what it's called, but they ask you to make "Initiate's Slops" (http://xivdb.com/?recipe/539/Initiate's-Slops).

I just made about 25 of these (I had a lot of levequests banked for such situations) and I got 11 Diremite Web from every turn-in except for 2. Maybe I just had good luck, but I'm now sitting at level 30 with nearly 200 Web left.

I still have a lot to go for the 750 synth achievement at this bracket, but that can wait until I'm 50 and wealthier to get the Web I need for that.

Hope that helps someone!
