Diremite Webs

[Rache]

I tried this a few times. I only received lightning shards and some gil as a reward.

Don't know where you got webbing from.

The quest is called "The Telltale Tress" though it seems the reward is rather random. I did this quest a few times this morning on my lvl 23 Weaver. First two times I did this, I got 10 diremite webs per each turn-in. Third time though, it showed 12 Wind Shard as a reward. I did not pick it up that time. And later when I went back, diremite web was available as a reward again.

Ya! i use to get diremite web from "don't sash me" leve in uldah, but now it only gives shards!? what gives

If the Quarrymill is offering shards the go to Uldah. There is a qest, gloves I think, that you bring to quarry for turn in. This quest gives 4 webs. Then sign up in quarry for the coif qest. so far for me that gets nets up instead of shards everytime. I will do couple of coif quests until it offers shards. Then I go back to Uldah. BTW You can choccobo to south end of map, catch another chocc to drybone and third to Uldah, or vice versa. So if one end or the other is a home point round trip only costs about 120 gil or so.

I've gotten most of mine from levequests in Ul'dah.

Might have to try those leve's, farming in North Shroud is just a nightmare, there are only 8 mobs that drop the stuff and every weaver / leatherworker on the server fighting for them. I got about 40 webs in 2 hours competing with lvl40+ guys.

I can't believe suck a key crafting item has been left to so few mobs, they need more mobs that drop these.

Yes and a higher drop rate for the ones East of Fallgourd Float as well.

I farmed all mine in the shroud as well. Wasn't all that bad and they do seem to drop 1-3 webs pretty consistently. Its definitely worth the time to save the gil. You'll get plenty of sinew as well.

Screw it, web's gone cheap on Behemoth, I'll share what I did for leves. The trick is that completing any leve at all cycles the rewards for all of them. So if, for example, you finish a botany leve then it also cycles all the other classes leves too. Using this you can fairly easily and quickly cycle through leves if you have a large number of allowances (took me maybe 30 allowances to get 400 webs), and it also gets you useful xp.

I found this was good because I could then level other crafts and botanist while waiting for the appropriate reward to appear. Plus, once you get web it seems to appear for a good run of leves. I'd regularly get at least 80 web before it either switched or I got off. The only issue here is the number of materials you actually need. If you buy base materials then The Telltale Trees ends up costing about 100 gil/web, largely thanks to shards (I'm also doing LTW, so crafted my own hard leather). Obviously you could gather mats to drop this cost, although you need a lot of shards. Getting Handsy also gives diremite web and is cheaper, but also gives less web per allowance. I personally didn't do the level 25 leves, since at least one of them actually required velveteen, but you could do them too.

Why do I say level other crafts? Because you get a ton of xp just from making the items and turning in the leves for WVR. I went from 23 to 27 just earning my webs, hopefully crafting them should put me up to linen.

So much this. It's absolutely ridiculous having to fight with level 50's for crafting material. There needs to be a better system in place than a chance at claiming a mob and a chance at a drop.

They definitely need more places to get these. I can't believe they made a common component for two different classes so rare.
