Well after much fun last night I'm now a lvl 14 Bone worker and I think rather than continue with the bone rings I'm just gonna move on to bone mask right now.

Your advice for the sheep leather is interesting (to first poster) but also a lil time consuming :p, lol. I'm gonna check the AH prices for that stuff (with help from my LS members) and if it's as expensive as you say and I truely won't make a profit by buying them then I'll take your advice.

The way I figure it though.... if I buy a stack of sheep leather for 9000k (which is 750/leather) or even less, then farm my bone chips and giant femurs (which I do all the time) I should still make a profit because all bone stuff on my server goes for about 1k+
I'll have to double check that of course since it's a while since I was wearing the stuff but if I'm write then I can make around 250 per mask and save much time, lol.


Main reason I came to post..... can anyone tell me where I could find Ram Horns for future..... and can you buy Shall Shells or do you *have* to kill whatever drops them.

Thanks in advance...

Ram horns are droped by Tremor rams in Kon Highlands & another Ram in la thine cant remember second ones name. :confused: (Edit Lumbering Lambert.)
And shall shells can be fished up or droped by Pugils.
but they are a tad rare >_<;;

Sounds like I'll be taking a trip to rolanberry then. Possibly la thien too..... unless the horns are cheap, cause then I'll just buy em. They cost 6k in the boneweavers guild shop :confused:

I decided not to bother with the shall shell's after discovering that you can't buy them or trade them....

Right now I'm lvl 16 boneworker (yes i'm rising) and I'm making bone masks. I could make the masks until lvl 20 like the initial poster suggested but that makes it kinda hard to sell em steadily so I think I'll make some mittens too. Mittens required two sheep leather but luckily in bastok on my server bone mittens go for 2k so I'll still make a profit seeing as sheep leather goes for about 700 gil each and I farm my bone chips and giant femurs.

That'll take me to 20 with relative ease I'd say. Then I'll start on the bone axe, bone leggings, or bone pick and then switch to Beetle Rings around 22-23.

Also they drop from Tremor rams in Konschtat Highlands too my friend fought it once and got 3 horns 2 skins and something else

[Target_Master]

Awesome, I'll remember all of that because the prices of Ram Horns is 1500 gil. Not bad.... but not low enough for me to actually make a profit.

Hi there, just want to know, I'm lv 17 bonecraft at the momment, so I'm comming to the point where I'll have to racket a omega lot of those beetle jaws to continue my skilling. Do any of you know which NORMAL beetle have the highest jaw-drop? I know I could buy those from the AH, but I want to skill up the slow, 90% profit way, meaning by farming nearly everything.

[Target_Master]

Hey Goudaba. I'm in the same boat as you. LvL 17 Bone Crafter who's at the point where he's gonna need a lot of beetle jaws soon.

The original poster stated this as advice.........

6.) I don't know about your server, but on Kujata these dumb things cost 10-11k per stack You will go through a LOT of these around 18-30. My best advice is to take a character through level 38-42 fighting the beetles in Crawlers Nest and offer to make stuff for ppl who let you have the jaws. Also you can take a level 34-38 character through East Altepa. You can try farming them, maybe the ones in Jugner Forest will drop some, I farmed em for awhile with my 50 thf and got 0 .

....I'm only lvl 30 though so unless those in junger drop some I'm gonna have to put a hold on my crafting for a while. At least after I reach 20 or so where the bone mask and mittens will discontinue giving me skill up points.

I'm gonna do a little hunting for info so if I learn of anything I'll post it back here.

u can farm them in Qufim Island near Delfulks Tower

[Target_Master]

....there are beetles in Qufim? Which monster are you talking about specifically? ...and is it outside the tower? You said near the lower tower, but I don't know if you mean in or out.

[Riceman]

[PedaTeda]

There are not, in fact, beetles on Qufim. There are wight spawns all over the island at night, and they drop bone fragments with decent frequency, plus the newbies will love you because they inevitably aggro the entire island. Just make sure to stay anon if you can cast raise, otherwise you'll never get any farming done for the helping people.

r u positive??? im almost positive i saw Riceman getting a bettle jaw in there............................................. .............................99% sure lol:mad:

[Target_Master]

I decided not to bother farming beetle jaws. These things cost 10-13k a stack yet only 6-700gil seperate.
Now..... I don't know who makes the logic behind the AH's.... but...... 700x12 is only 8,600 and 600x12 is only 7,200.
I buy my jaws for that price, but I also resell jaws for a profit. I find it extremely funny, just yesterday I bought 12 jaws for 7,200 and resold them for 16,000. Why someone paid that much I'll never know, but it's good profit for me.

Anyways, on topic. Making beetle jaws is good because I rarely fail and I can sell them for about 900-1000gil and they sell really fast too. I don't make much profit off them, but I make profit nonetheless.

I'm having more fun leveling my ranger/thief to bother with farming beetle jaws, lol.

Level 19 Bone worker now too

....and I'm still 99.9% sure that you can't get beetle jaws in Qufim.

Unfortunately, your sureness doesn't exactly align with facts. See mystery tour for details.

And yeah, farming beetle jaws is kind of silly. I've 'farmed' a few stacks just by leveling on helm beetles in Quicksands and chamber beetles in Garlaige, but it'd be a waste of my time to specificly farm those parts at this point. Better to just farm cash and buy more jaws than I could farm in the same time.
