Diremite Webs

[CassTristesse]

bump.. the amount of mobs that drop these is just absurd please add more mobs or some other way to obtain them

Which leves offer them as a reward? I looked at the 20 and below Weaving leves (which according to another forum post online was supposed to have Diremite Web as a reward), but it was only for lightning shards. Most of the leves were for lightning shards.

I'm also only seeing shards on any leves I look at. Bad luck I guess. I need ~120 more diremite web.. Is there anywhere else to get this material besides north shroud, leves, that one dungeon, or that one quest that spawns mobs that drop them (I already completed it ><)? I go to north shroud at off peak hours and there are 2-7 people farming constantly... I really don't want to have to grind through these levels using stack upon stack of cotton bolls/spend all my leves.

I know there are probably other materials that are going to be as grindy as this one and that makes me a sad panda. I was having a lot of fun being self reliable at crafting - gathering all my materials without having to deal with the stress of other player competition - I usually dislike crafting in mmos because of this. Fun level has plummeted because of this though. :/ I'm begging for more info on mobs that drop this elsewhere.

Bump need more mobs.

This really needs some attention ASAP. I've crafted in many games, this is probably one of the most absurd bottlenecks I have ever seen. Bumping for more recognition.

would like to add Fleece to this too... its just too few spawn points for the sheep and is overpriced at the market ><

[MrShehu]

I'm guessing fleece is a high-level material so it would make sense that its at least a bit difficult. Diremite however is a mid range resource so its insane for to to be this hard to obtain.

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.
