Grand Herbalist & Small Manisi Plant

[Barlu]

Did some digging here on the forums without much luck. Anyone that has farmed a few know the spawn % on Grand Herbalist and what a realistic drop % is on the small manisi plant?

Wiki says 20% spawn and 2% drop rate. Trying to get a feel for whether it would be worth camping. 2% drop rate would probably be a no. Thank you!

No hard facts on it but camped some other spawns. With a two spawn camp (PH or named) and a limited loot list it seems about on par with Overseer’s halfling mask. Which I’ve heard upwards of 40hrs and some lucky people with less. Compared to trying to get a Jeldorin off Battlemaster the odds seem much worse (3 spawn with 2 ultra rare on his table). I have a lot of friends with the herb and halfling mask, less making BM pay off.

I would expect no less than 40 hours. If that is a non-starter maybe not go down that road. Or you can leave the ench there and dabble when it’s free to maybe luck out. Or leave the monk there and hit up the Dok farmers and commission the LR’s. I bet 40-50k would get you one eventually.

I heard it was quite rare. Haven't camped it myself for that reason.

If it was more common, I'd imagine you would see more people selling loot rights. You see people selling Kennelmaster loot rights fairly often, for example.

Appreciate the advice and that’s what I was afraid of. Done the halfling mask before and did not enjoy it. This will probably be worse since the named kill seems a little harder as well. May try a few PHs here and there and hope to get really lucky. Thanks again appreciate the help.

I saw it rotting on green the other week.

One thing to keep in mind is the Grand Herbalist’s token prize is a 200-300p Jade Meditation Hoop. That makes mostly a commissioned or self-hunted target.

I see more people frantically trying to move halfling masks but they prob assumed they would get a cape and move on.

No problem! Mostly hunch with some word of mouth from friends. I could be wrong but would definitely mix in Alch/wiz so it’s less painful. Might end up with a shovel as well [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not rare for this to be a 100hr camp. Some people get lucky

This is just a clicky to summon bandages of a sort or am I missing something?

If so bandages are cheap … seems like a lot of effort for something so unnecessary.

It's generally for when you are in a location that is harder to get in/out of. As a simple example, Monks can't be bound in PoM. If they want to level in Rat Maze, they would need to rely on other players to get them bandages. That or pay 2k for a CoTH every time they run out. They can't use the dagger that summons bandages either.

I agree it's not really necessary anytime you can sneak buy bandages when doing things like killing guards.

I have one on my enchanter, didn't camp it. Buddy of mine used me to camp one for his monk and wound up getting 2 in a row,after 50+hrs ofcourse.
It's very convenient, at least
