Thread: Fish, Mollusk, Eggs, and Milk?

How are we suppose to make high quality tissues with schematics with required resources like these? The highest bulk of fish I have ever seen was 5! And I need 24!?!? I have never heard of a Mollusk, can't find Milk, and can only find Eggs from searching lairs, for bad quantitys... Can anyone help me? Are they fixing this, or am I just doing something wrong?


Thanks.

Getting fish is pretty easy, just grab a good rod and check out the link below for a great guide:

Eggs are easy to collect by searching any lairs you pass. This is an option on the radial menu when you have a creature lair targetted. You may however get a sample of live creatures, but unless you like to make creature habitats I think they are useless, or at least I haven't found another use for them.


Mollusks and Milk however are currently rare and hard to get hold of.. but this is going to change in the next patch coming soon, some creatures are going to become 'milkable', and a special tool for harvesting Mollusks wil be availbale through doing a particular NPC quest (see patch notes in 'In Testing').

I believe in the next publish they are implementing means to milk animals and harvest mollusk (from a special quest for archs to make the harvester). How will you survey for said Mollusk? Who knows . . . .


With that said, as far as fish, it takes someone with a lot of patience (namely me/us). I can harvest about 100 fish units in about 30 minutes. Is this a lot? Nope . . . but still beats watching Richard Simon's Infomercials.

Yeah, I have zero idea on the creature habitats (sorry for the way off-topic). I thought they would look cool when I made one, yet, they look like a locked/unlocked container.

I share your frustrations! We are lucky to get ONE tissue using milk or mollusks - god forbid getting a factory run!I compalined allthis past summer because BE items could not be factory produced, now that they can, we cannot get the material in any quantity to produce the factory crates! How ironic.


However we are getting the famous Dev promise that these items will be easier to come by after the next patch. The number of eggs found will increase per lair; you will be able to "milk" certain animals now - the option will appear on the radial dial when you examine the right animal (you must mask your scent to do this); and some "tool" will be available to harvest mollusks; and fish harvests are going to be bigger (I guess more units of fish per fish caught). We shall see.

Question on mollusks.


I've never actually found any, where are they, how are they found?

They are a rare loot drop. You can sometimes find them in the debris piles in the Borgle Cave on Rori, almost always in quantities of one.

i use the living samples to build the creature habitats , and then 'release into the wild' the critters while i dance at the cantina. the creatures swirl around you for a couple second and with glowzees, moths andbats it has quite a cool effect. but the crowd's favorite is the butterflies.


picture a dancer and at the peak of a flourish, a flock of multi-colored butterflies erupt and fill the cantina for a couple seconds.


you could craft contianers and give/sell to entrainers as living fireworks. they are also great for weddings.

I was at the sludge panter village and searched the debre piles and came up with 25 units of mollusk! I was floored! I came looking for milk and came away with something just as rare.anyway go thru the piles and you may strike it big too!Good luck to you!

Point well recieved, I think this would work well 5 stars for you. Also, thank you to the others for the clarification on mollusks. I had thought the caves for the borgle were more for attachment seekers. I'll give it a shot - also, I'll be testing the market waters for entertainers - I imagine I could sell them on the cheap and in turn some entertainers (the real ones) would perhaps benifit from bigger tips - heck - I'd do it for a mind buff for like 10 of them.
