Istan, west of the SS Great Hall. They're popups, but just baby things so nothing to worry about.

Thanks for SS!
Save the moderating for the mods, mini mods are annoying.

yes there are millions of them. cleared area of all mandragors (solo) and got well over the quota. the pop-ups can be tricky. no reason to go HM though.

Low level mandragor shouldn't drop those despite what wiki says.

Is it just me, or did they give more info on where he will be next week than they normally do? Seems kinda obvious to some extent where he will be.... I'm guessing near Sennat Sen in The Salt Flats.

"All the spirits around here have spooked Yakkington a bit, so he's been restless at night, keeping me up with his fidgeting. It would be a great comfort to us both if you could find a Luminous Stone to help him sleep. I had hoped to stay here a few more nights before traveling back to the Crystal Desert, but without something to calm him down, I'm afraid the Professor may not hold together long enough for me to finish my business."

No, not just you, MagmaRed.

Damn, mandragors is the thing again this week.

Hope it is going to be better than the topaz crest farm, it was every bit as annoying as I thought it would be - I had runs of anything between 2 and 11 drops, and that was when clearing the whole map of drakes, solo farm on all runs.

I have never seen the drop rate so horrible out there in Arjok ward. I got 2 stones and 1 root?!! what's up with that? I used to get 6 roots a run at least. Stones are about the same, but, man I picked up more trash gold coins than anything. I don't solo it as I've always just played with my 3 heroes out there and we smear, but, 1 fraking root? You've got to be kidding me. This is why I pretty much quit playing this f-u game. They let stupid SF sins get everything in the book for nothing and their chicks for free and those of us who play righteously get nuthing nada craptoriaola.

Drop rate has been bad for me as well. Thinking about taking a break from farming these and doing something else.

Tbh, they're not dropping that bad for me.

Spirit spamming in Arjok, gotta be careful that you don't overlure though.

Got mine in about an hour Spirit Spamming with my warrior outside Bone Palace. Also got enough Husks to cover me when /if they are ever his gift requirement. Was dreading this farm but once I started it wasn't bad.

Arkjok sucks big time for me as well. After 3 runs, I'm at an amazing 3 stones, 2 of which dropped early in the first run. (So I got started off with some false hope that this would be a quick week.)

I'm at 23 roots though, that's almost 8 roots to a stone. Terrible.

I always try to go to places people wont be for getting items.

For example, and I'll probably kick myself for saying this, but I barely saw anyone in Bahdok Caverns...

Guys just go to Gates of Destolation and on the left you have one group of mandragors. You can farm it by using wurm. 30-40 sec per run and in less than 10 minutes i've farmed 5 stones. Try this

What a bad drop rate i'm still trying to get my stones.
Anyway remember when he wanted Mandragor root cakes and the roots back then had a bad drop rate
Look at them now dropping like crazy lol
I still think Anet nerfs Nics Items or the other side of the coin everyone farming them lowers the drops for all.
Bad mean Anet.

Meh, lots of stuff to try. First run nada, but there's a week to go.

Been so long since I got a good gift, though, hard to keep going.

Found the group you're talking about, buta few questions. Are you alone in the party? Did you only kill that group?

lol do you have a clue how many resources there are in three chapters and the expansion? hahahaha You will be dead and gone before husks ever come back again as an item Nick wants. There's only 52 weeks in a year dude and there's 1000's of resources in the game. You'd do best just to sell them as merchant fodder now unless you want some collectors item for them.
