Lightning split soarwood to rare?

[MrCow]

Anyone mind starting up a thread about how rare large devil scales/shards of power/and +4 tomes are?

There is no need when folks all have the power of thread necromancy. With the pile of thread bones found in the forum Search it shouldn't be too hard.

[Gnorbert]

found a couple of these while digging around my alts collectibles bags. Good start, guess I'll hang on to these.

Yeah but i need a bunch of those. Maybe someone can necro a thread, then start another thread about the same topic right afterward. Heck maybe even double post

If you are looking for a good spot for Lightning-Split Soarwood, I always preferred gathering them from the minotaur maze in Vault of Night 2 as you have 1-3 spots you can hit in about 60-90 seconds and can end the quest by just falling off for quick reentry.

Tried this but falling out didn't reset the quest, is there a trick to this or has something changed in one of the recent updates?

BTW, MrCow your collection of youtube solo sorc quest runs are inspirational! Thanks for the work in putting them up...

Update #3 made falling in Vault of Night 2 no longer fail the quest, and thus it won't reset it. This change makes Vault of Night 2 less worthwhile for gathering Lightning-Split Soarwood.

So, I ran tangleroot chapter 5 three times last night- once on casual, once on norm and once on hard. I only pulled one lightning split soarwood. I pulled it from the adventurers pack in the spider pit in one of the prison rooms.

I also hit all the mushrooms, cabinets and packs. The only other item of note I pulled is the single fragrant drowshood.

I'll be farming it again tonight and will post my findings afterwards.

Do I have to wait five minutes before re-entering to farm the collectible nodes? As I was unsure of this last night, I waited in between reentries.

Man you're lucky, given the chance is 1/120 on any spot!

I got in several months of gaming in total 2 lightning splits on all my alts,

Wow, no kidding? Oh, I forgot to mention that I pulled both the split and the drowshood on the first run on "casual".

Rest for the Restless a level L11 quest in House J with a ton icy undead has, I believe, 18 bookshelf nodes & 1 table type. I used to use this quest for the luminescent dusts, but would average a lightning about 1 in 5 runs & medium shard about 1 in 6. May be more difficult to farm than other quests depending on the level of character you're using.

Ive farmed the living bejeesus out of Tanglewood. Ive pulled exactly one (1) lightning split soarwood from there (same cabinet others mention). And my pack is full of medium eberron shards, so there you go for rarity comparisons.

Ive pulled one other in my short few months here, that was in a rubble pile in The Stormvauld Mines. I think. Pretty sure.

[Emizand]

Pulled two in one run. Chain of flames. Long quest, so cant farm but 2 in 1 impressed me. In the little huts on the ledges where the gnolls hide.

[Matuse]

I get lighting splits from Threnal all the time. And yes, they are not grotesquely rare from the big room in Tangleroot. But Threnal is better.

[Garseya]

I'm grateful for the responses. Since last September when I began playing, I've pulled 2 l-s soarwoods in total. I've taken 3 toons to level 20, and farmed nearly a week straight when I originally made this post. Since then, ever single person I've shown the areas to pull them, have pulled them- just not me :P That's ok tho, proseperity for one can bring joy to another.

I was running with a permadeath friend last night, and he pulled one from the cabinet in the main room which holds the 5th prisoner. I've had some friends pull them in Xorian lately as well.

Good luck to all!

Part 4 of Co6 is definately one u want to add to your Soarwood farming.

[thenalim]

Tangleroot as mentioned above. Also has a bookshelf and 2 mushrooms on the way to the cabinet that drop other crafting components often.

Temple of Vol has several altars that I've pulled lots of the lesser soarwood from. That's probably somewhere to try.

I know at least 3 mushrooms in that place that drops fragrant drowshood

[DoctorWhofan]

I've been trying to find lightning split soarwood for over a week now. Many of you have been kind enough to post locations you've found it. I've farmed the following locations; Caged trolls House P (no soarwoods from cabinet but silver flame and Khyber tomes from upstairs), Rest for the restless (rubble pile noted to contain soarwood appears to have been changed to a mushroom) Tangleroot (some singed soarwood from adventure packs and cabinet but no lightning split, silver flame tomes from bookcase) Von-2 maze (some singed and charred from rubble pile but no lightning split, Silver flame and Khyber tomes from mephits bookcase), Delaras part 4 (no soarwoods). That's the areas i've searched 40+ times, I've also explored just about every House P favor granting quest with nothing to show for it.

I'm wondering if anyone has pulled any at all lately? I'm fortunate that I can play as much as I do, and try and help my friends who don't have as much time to dedicate to looking for some of these items as I do. On Thelanis, most LS soarwood lists for 250k plat and above, and I never see any bids on it. It doesn't seem to make much sense to me to have a low level crafting ritual in place, and not have the ingredients readily available to players who are willing to put a reasonable amount of time in searching for them.

Thanks for sharing any information, have a blessed new year and happy loots!

How many do you need? I have like 20.

One place I haven't seen mentioned is VoN 4 (Haywire). I was farming for the Blood Trinket Thingy and noticed the usual singed wood, ceramic bowl, lodgstone, etc. After about 10 runs, pulled a lightning Split wood, and also hit a medium ebberon fragment along the way until I found my trinket. The station to hit is the chemistry table in the middle, between the cages where the named WF is that you have to kill before going up to the fire vents. I think the name is RC-1.

If you really want these, and you have multiple high level toons, you can run one through in about 4 minutes, log out, log onto another toon, and run them through, then switch back to the first toon. That way your not sitting outside waiting for the quest to reset.

Good luck.

Unless you do it with friends then it's easy to break group reform

The entryway is now a private instance that you can summon hirelings in to reset. Takes a few more seconds, but it still works fast.

If you're solo farming, another way is to add ruined halls and lair of summoning into your list on top of von2.

This is how I do with my caster. Get in von2, run up to maze and get the shelves, teleport out to house K. Run to ruined hall, get the shelf right in front of the 1st shrine, d door out. Get inside lair of summoning which is right next to ruined halls, take a left turn and get the table in 1st room then teleport out to house K. The whole chain should take around 4mins. Now you have enough time to get a drink before von2 resets and do it again.

If you can get a friend to run with you, lair of summoning is probably the fastest, it takes around 30s per run.
