Most of the recipes I’m trying to make requires this stupid thing, and the reason I’m so frustrated is that the places that used to be good to farm for these (like the hideout when you get the key) is now ONLY giving me the Ch’thon sealing component. Like… super frustrating.
I took my lvl 16 character over to the hideout to clear through it a good while to get these vials of blood, and after ONLY receiving TWO, at lvl 22 then it started to only give me the stupid seals. I’m super upset by this. And all my other characters that need the blood, that can access Blood Grove, are a good lvl 55 or more, so well above the level 45 area that Blood Grove is.
It is entirely frustrating and stupid how components stop dropping entirely from an area you out-level. How about just dropping the drop rate real low instead of stopping it altogether? It makes it super hard to really implement smithing anything when, once you realize you need some item for a recipe, you far out-level the area it drops.
Ex: I’m trying to make Primal Instinct for my summoner (Occultist/Shaman), and I only found out about in passing, so I don’t even have the blueprint, but I figure I’d get all the components ready when I do. But I have to make Nemesis first. Which requires a lot of blood vials, and even a green drop called Salazar’s Sovereign Blade. And wouldn’t you know, the character I want the epic relic for waaaaaay out-levels Salazar in the hideout, so he doesn’t drop blood vials and he doesn’t drop that stupid dagger for that one. Hence the creation and use of my lvl 16 character, who successfully got the dagger, but then only received 2 blood vials before the area decides seals are what I need and won’t drop dick else (or sometimes not a d*mn thing at all). :furious:
EDIT: After replying to everybody kind enough to give me suggestions despite my obviously scrambled rant, I reread what I originally wrote and realised how horrendous it really, actually reads. Lemme try again:
At lvl 59 on one character, that I want Primal Instinct for, I realised that I need a crap load of Ch’thon Blood to craft a lot of the relic recipes I want/need to make to do really cool things, right? So I research where to farm for Ch’thon Blood and was told the best location to go was Blood Grove. Unfortunately, if you outlevel the area by at least 10 levels, nothing really drops as far as these craft items go. Also, a friend told me his favorite place to farm Ch’thon Blood was the Cultist’s Lair in Burrwitch Outskirts. Well, since I outlevel that area on this character, I went to my level 16, pushed her through to the Cultist’s Lair and proceeded to clear the place out a good while.
After receiving the Salazar dagger I needed, but only two Ch’thon Bloods. I proceeded to try and try again. This pushed my character up to level 22 by now, and then, suddenly, instead of Ch’thon Blood the Seal of Binding started dropping. And it wouldn’t stop. So I go back to my level 59 character. Up the difficulty to max, set out to Blood Grove, and by level 62 all I could show for that long grind was 20 some odd Seal of Binding. No Ch’thon Blood. The thing that I need.
Thus, it feels like once you reach a certain level, Ch’thon Blood stops dropping from the specific heroes you normally get them from and the only way I’ve been able to get them at all now is from those chests you open after sacrificing a dynamite to open it. (I say sacrificing, but farming for dynamite is by far the easiest thing to do). I haven’t gotten to the smith that will sell you blood by converting Brain Matter/Ancient Hearts, but even then, those components I do not have a lot of. Even the blueprint you can find still requires those things that I do not find regularly.
At this point, I’d love a mod that can convert Seal of Binding into Ch’thon Blood, honestly.
