[Guide] List of Harvestable Mobs (non-skinning)

[Wraith]

It seems a heck of a lot of topics are people searching for mobs they can kill and harvest so I thought it'd be worth consolidating the answers into one thread here. So, I spent some time searching the forums here and looking around ingame for the harvestable mobs that could be of help to people.

Skinning's a bit different since the only way to level it is off of harvestable mobs, and there's so many more of them adding them to the list would make it gigantic and less helpful, so (for now at least) I'm not planning on putting them on.

Note that I'm only naming the common resource - you can get any rare harvest (to my knowledge) of the tier that the common harvests listed are. Also, any info that's currently unknown has a "?" there as a placeholder. If you've got the answer to that, just let me know and I'll edit it in ASAP.

I kinda searched through the forums and pulled about half of these from the answers to questions that have already been posed, so this is about half my knowledge and half a composite of the work of various people here. If you've got any corrections or mobs to add - especially higher tier ones - please post and I'll be sure to give you credit.

Hope this helps everyone find the answers a bit more easily.

Nice compilation, Wraith.

Thank you very much

[Scrogg]

Animated Meteor Fragment lvl 27-29.
Drops Sandstone, Limestone and rarely Soapstone

Located in Ruins of Trengal Keep. Thestra

[Scrogg]

Ancient Guardians lvl 35 4 dot mobs
chunk: Theraseen
Continent Thestra

although they look like iron golems and even clank like metal, they drop Limestone.

[Wraith]

Thanks for those 2 updates. And darn, I was really hoping that we'd find a mining mob soon too.

[Kalundan]

Name: Spineback
Chunk: Ahgram
Level: 38-40
Difficulty: 2 Dot
Harvest: Silkbloom/Veilthread

You kill them and then harvest.

[Kruschev]

The river valley treants are found near the trio of towers you see to the side as you run along the river. They are roughly lvl 29-30 2 dots. Both drop dry and knotted at random, with 2 named trees running around with them. KoS, and have a form of self heal.

They go by 2 names, Wary Timberherd, and Vigilant Gorgestrider



Also, the Greatwood Treants are annoying to find, best bet is head up towards the riftway in frostshard, and head S/SE. When you see a hut, head E into the valley. They too are a mix of dry and knotted. They too heal...and they do it a lot.

[Kruschev]

sorry for the double post here...but hope this helps out. Got a screenshot of the map where the frostshard treants are. Attached picture, click to zoom and see where it is.


Further information:

Treats SW (rotwood sentinels) are 35/36 3 dots, dont heal, and are knotted wood.

With them are a mob called convoked stoneling. My quarry is not enough to find out what type at this time.

[Wraith]

I added a fair number of new mobs in, however as my highest level toon is a miner and a skinner I'm not able to find out what the mobs harvest for on some of the higher level ones.

I'd appreciate it if someone else could, or I'll probably get an alt around to it eventually.

[picayunesyzygy]

At what level do they drop a new tier of material?

IE, if I want Limestone do I kill level 30 or level 31 rock elementals?

[Wraith]

I would suspect that both level 30 and 31 would have a chance for limestone. The tier barriers on harvesting aren't hard ones - you can get a tier below if you're at the low end of a tier, or a tier above if you're at the high end. That's why I haven't filled in the chart for what mobs are harvested for what despite knowing their levels: it's not quite as straightforward.

[Erik]

T1 - Basalt - Whirling Flurry just East of Khal (loc 22450, -66811) Multiiple mobs, fast respawn 0-100 fast

T2 - Slate - Multiple t1-t2 nodes for reaping, quarry & mining at Western Lighthouse NW of Khal (loc 88830, 82660) 101-200 (couldn't find the ones listed NW of the Bunkers)

T3 - Sandstone - Cave behind lizardmen's fortress in Skrilian Point, sorry, don't have loc atm, 23-24 2 dots in cave(sorry, not killable/quarryable but a good harvest spot)

T4 - Limestone - ...

[Kelmino]

all the quar mobs in cragwind drop limestone/sandstone

There are also some mobs that are in the mid 40's for granite near afrit according to this post

http://www.vanguardcrafters.com/foru...ad.php?t=24150

I'd love to know their exact level, name, dots, and location though.

Ah, good catch on the location. It was meant to be NE, I typed it wrong - sorry about that.

Thanks for that thread, Kelmino, I'd actually found the mob name but didn't know what it dropped so that works out perfectly for me.

[solaric]

Add to Quarrying Mobs

Convoked Stonelings (35-36 2-dot) - Limestone/Travertine/Marble
Foulwood Forest in Southwatch, Thestra chunk

[Tamsin]

Quarrying mob thestra:

lvl 4-9 : Cuprice animate, shambling animate, furious animate, rubicelle animate all give basalt. they are located in the mine near shaletooth tower (and not near Rille strike)

[Daeanor]

I have been killing the Ichythaka and their Lancer pets in the swamps lately, and notice both leave harvestable corpses. As a 500 reaper/skinner, I can't harvest them, so I was wondering: what skill you use to harvest a dead bug?

[Slowfood]

i think your log should state what harvesting profession you need
