just wondering if anyone has some tips on how to aquire insect meat from dathomir for pet stim c's, I have been trying to kill spiders but wow they are rough.

gaping spiders, not that hard to kill really use a pet for a sheild they poison lure them out one at a time.

Ohh i forgot use bleed shots, if you don't have them get a frined that does. keep healing yoru pet while the bleeds take care of the spider.

I cant even begin to kill these spiders myself, so I've had to find others means of getting the meat.

I have a standing offer for it at 10per. I remind my customers from time to time and post on any 'what sort of resources do you need' threads on my server forum.

I also make a daily search on the bazaar and buy whatever is up for sale there. On guild hunts to Dathomir I request the other scout types in the guild to harvest meat from the spiders, then offer to buy from them as well, or trade for stims. My guildies are great though, and mostly just give to me

I am also having a tough time, I have a graul and they still beat him up pretty well, they are also very aggressive and the poison dmg hurts real bad if they aggro on me. On top of that I can't find missions for them, so I am just running around looking for them. Maybe fishing wouldn't be so bad...

ironically enough just as i posted that i did get a gaping spider mission, I was fighting their 9.5k HAM hunter cousins

I have 6k of this extremely high quality stuff.... I am using it all but I would be available to sell it for 20 credits per unit.. lol

I've found that the shear mites are a lot easier to take down than the spiders, the lurkers are quite low level and the hunters aren't nearly as bad as the gaping spider I tried.

I have yet to see a decent spawn of Dathomir insect meat on our server, it's been crap for weeks and weeks, best OQ I've seen was 560 or so. I finally just gave up and am just making stim b's.

Spider missions aren't spawning anymore there. Neither shear mite or gaping spider lairs or packs. I hit refesh near 100 times and never got one. Weapon equipped, not equipped, doesnt matter, same missions over and over. They have removed it. Just bolma (20k mission), some new mob and a few of the old missions (not all)like makloc thrown in there but not any insects.

Ran around for a hour and saw nothing but new mobs and baz nitch. Im really confused how im gonna get insect meat now in any kind of quantity. I had people getting it but they were all taking spider missions to get it. This is a major problem for bios who make stim c's.

If anybody knows a area where they spawn heavily etc, id like to know.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. I imagine this is all part of the new "scaling" on the expert level planets.

It's bad enough that the spider/mite missions were difficult to find resulting in realitivly low quantities of Dath Insect meat in general unless you were looking for them, but to (all but?) remove them entirely due to level or any other reason is just silly.

One more bullet on my "why this patch destroyed the BE profession even more" list.

There are spiders still...just not gaping spiders.. I also went around looking for insect meat. Found some, forgot their name. They had 5000 HAM and very good resists and dont deathblow. After getting incapped twice, i managed to kill a baby only to find out the OQ was less than 100 BTW this was on Ahazi server

I found this problem yesterday too. I'm not a BE but I'm collecting dathomirian inscect meat for one. Before the patch I would go out and do gaping spider missions and be able to collect large amounts of meat in a fairly good amount of time. This was mostly due to not have to search for the meat, it was at a waypoint. I just went looking last night and only found 1 spawn of spiders, no lair, so I collected only a few hundred meat. This is going to make finding the meat much more difficult, which is not good.

Yeah and stim c's are what people want. Yeah stim d's but if you could make 5 a day, it would be a miracle.

I'm sure this is something they didnt think about. They make these heavy requirements for stims and then make the creature that drops the meat some of the hardests mobs (that poision) and make them rare at that. They need to add a lot of insect types to dathomir. As of now, 80% of the meat dropping there is wild meat and herb meat (maklocs are everywhere)

Either that or change pet stim c's to dathomir wild meat. Our meat intake would triple. All the 20k missions drop wild meat.
