Royal Jelly. Much as I appreciate that we have a level 100 recipe with ingredients that are either available on the ah for a reasonable price or are farmable (and distilled water which doesn't count), why did SE have to have Royal Jelly drop from a standard skill-up mob?* Oh, and have it as an ingredient in Chocolixir.





*rhetorical question, and I know it drops from two other mobs, but not at my level.

I've never camped the bees for XP. There's a nice little circuit and it's actually (except on weekends) clear relatively often. Besides, while you're farming the jelly you get incidental honey and beehive chips which can't be all that bad. Of course, they don't respawn terribly quickly, so a couple of farmers can camp them into extinction rather quickly.

Yep, I know that circuit well . It's not farmers who are the problem, as it's fair enough that we should share the few mobs available, it's the people skilling up weapons/npcs. Sometimes there'll be a party fighting crawlers too, and someone will come through with an npc and kill anything that moves, shafting everyone else in the process. Usually it's people waiting for someone else to arrive for the escort quest.

I mean, I'm there fighting in my cooking gear, I have a bazaar comment saying I'm skilling up cooking, I have Cursed Soup for sale and I'm ignoring the crawlers - it should be pretty obvious what I'm doing .
