Small Piece of High Quality Ore

[Xiderpunk2]

Apparently in P99 now.. since the chisel was removed from the game these drop from 1 single rare spawn in runnyeye? Devs can you look again at this, the goblin janitor has a respawn time well over the 22 mins stated on wiki. Also it is an extremely rare drop by all accounts.

All this.. because I have to make a cultural halfling sewing box just in order to raise tailoring from 158 - 162 because tailoring tradeskill is a soul destroying requirement for the shawl quest.

I am about to give up at the final hurdle here, this is NOT fun for anyone.

Please look again at the rarity of such a required piece.

Look at the bug report research and don't believe the wiki. It is indeed rare

Are you sure halfing cultural sewing is the only way to raise tailoring skill?

Just do the shawl quest at 158 skill. I did the shawl 6 combine on two characters with this strategy, and I only failed the combine like 3 or 4 times across both characters.

I think I only failed the shawl 7 combine once with 158 skill across both characters.

It takes less effort and plat to farm the items for the shawl quest again than to level up tailoring in my experience, although cultural tailoring is easier. Ogres don't have that sadly.

For shawl 7 you do get the burin back if you fail, so you don't need to get that part again. That's the part that needs the Molkor Hide and Swordfish Tooth.

I eventually got the 2 pieces of hq ore from the goblin, he is a 1 hr spawn. It took me 3 days over this past weekend of logging in every hour to kill him, to get 2 pieces. Bare in mind, this was WITH the 50% loot bonus. It's extremely rare, needlessly so. EQ classic crafting was always absolutely poorly designed and implemented but I just do not see why this can not be looked at as being just bad for the game.

I did the first combine successfully.. but now have the final combine to do for shawl 6, maybe you are right. Just skip the cancer that is tailoring.
