Diremite Webs

[CassTristesse]

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.

A boost in the drop rate for diremite webs would probably help. I finally got into a good groove of farming the ones east of Fallgourd, but it took forever to get enough webs to continue crafting, and there were times I'd go 10-11 fights in a row without a single drop.

I farmed these for about 2 nights in a row, enough to get 2-3 stacks of them and maybe half a stack of high quality. Thank you for the notes on the leve rewards in Quarrymill. Thankfully, in my case, 2-3 stacks was just enough to get me through to linen. I used the leves in quarry mill to keep a decent stock of them.

To get through those levels, there is a leve you pick up in ul'dah for a velveteen cap of gathering or crafting and deliver in quarrymill. I found this very easy to HQ and the exp was more than your usual, probably because delivery was in Quarrymill (like enough exp to get almost half a level at 28 and 29). As more botanists are getting to levels 31+, the price of flax is going down.

[Memimi]

I finally got through those levels by turning in the cotton leves while using the diremite webs to replace my crafting gear. I actually sold most of the velveteen cloth for some nice profit.

Flax was easy enough because I could gather it but now I'm on fleece which means more farming.

At least there's a choice of several locations to hunt for the webs. Including a dungeon. Only one area in the whole game for Aldgoat stuff.

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.

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!
