The quest "Naga Oil" requires you to acquire a Remedy from a collector-ish merchant, who requires Naga Pelts. Some say they do drop back at the starter island, but after genociding the Naga cave SW corner of the island, I'd say the droprate is very poopy, or I'm trying at the wrong place...

Anyone know the place they drop? Or do they just have bad droprate/something?

I dun really want to run around Bazaar doing the quests very many times since the mobs are pretty tough to kill, especially pointlessly just for to reach the quest NPCs

Busted quests are not uncommon durin the early days of new games/expansions. If it is a glitch, it should be corrected soon in an update.

That's if it is a glitch, I really can't prove that it is, sorry.

I have 2 so far from the starter island, so they do drop. I think only from one of the variations, and not the 'grunts' (whelps?).

Naga pelt drop rate is low, but I have seen some drop.

Meh. Guess I'll farm them semi-afk at work tomorrow..

Spamming 'Buying NAGA PELTS, offering 500g each' leads to ->

Really low drop rate

Could be with the Event going on that the drop rate for those is down and replaced by a higher drop rate for fangs. That's just a guess, but a possibility.

So the only freaking way to get them is starter Island? What about the Tyrian Immigrants?

I sold several at 2k each, and I didn't give the price they just put the gold up in window when I said I had a few.

A couple people bought a couple at a time.

Indeed, After looking forever, I too ended up going there.
I went from Zen Daijun out the north portal, ran past the crimson guys towards the beach... careful they have imagined burden.
There I got 2 pelts in a matter of 30 seconds. Right near that Island where the Rt Naga boss is.
Also, if you go this way and you make it past the crimson guys, there is a respawn poertal near the beach... makes it easier.

But, the naga to the south of the island are pretty low level, so I guess I could farm them for a while =\

And to think, I found like 5 while looking for Naga Fangs, and just sold them to the merch. I hate that, now. That is not true...I took my Tyria born Ranger there, and farmed the lagoon. There is a way around... Got 9 pelts the first run!...The lagoon is the only place I found where the pelts drop.. Good hunting!

Did it with my Ranger. See on Vlad's map there's a green arrow near a warp point - you can get through there.

Oops, meant to quote B0rd - my Ranger is Tyrian as well

VG,

While you cannot get to that place from the city you can get their from the Seitung Harbor city. Which is accessable to the Tyrian Characters. You head NE out of the city to the zone line and then walk straight there.

HT Ingram, you probably had hides, not pelts, as they can be confusing, especially from memory.

Indeed, it's easiest to get these from the north eastern part of the island (there may be other spots, but probably not as good). Only the high level nagas drop them, yes.
On the first two days of release, they could quite easily be sold for 2k, but I was selling the 10 I "farmed" for only 1k (and had enough trouble as it was at that price, although others say 2k was easy for them - I'm just impatient).

Now of course, people probably won't be selling them for any more than 500 gold now because the secrect of how to get them is well known.

I could have posted this earlier, but I'm lazy, and I also don't come here often.

Yup current price is from 250 to 500gp depending on how bad the buyer wants them. No point in farming them.

Actually Krytan charachters can get the by going north out of the port and going thru the cave with the snowmen in it, gotta kill a few afflicted when you come out of cave then go orth to beach, boss for "Sentimental Treasures" almost always drops one, long walk but very doable

Yeah, I haven't looked in that northeastern part of Shing Jea yet for Naga Pelts, but I've taken my ele over the the western coastline to kill the low level Nagas for pelts. After many, many repeated tries, I haven't received a single Naga Pelt drop. I don't like buying quest items from farmers (bad memories from Piken Square and Althea's Ashes). I almost gave up and caved in. Nice to know they still drop somewhere.
