Hi all from the Arispotle tryker community.
I was just about to post this same info on the euro english boards. However it was going to be quite a bit more negative.
How come the only (so far that i am aware of) tryker spot for Q100 mats ie. lvl 60-99 with surronding mobs for same lvl fighters (seems to me like this was devised for lvl 60 - 100 trykers). I guarded by mobs that take a decent size and lvl ie 100 plus group along with an allmost exploit (Blind) to even get to.
My guild Evolution (i am sure the largest arispotle tryker Guild) have only just found this area, what 5 weeks after release. We have Q250 spots that are a lot easier to get to. Now half the guild can not use these Q100 resources (300xp for me) however it takes these same people to get through. Does it make any sense that to get to lvl 60 hunting and harvesting grounds you need a lvl 100+ Group to escort you.
However it is very very nice to learn that the tryker land designers did not ignore us and did in fact give us a beutiful and WoM ids beutiful area for lvls 60-100.
To be spoiled By Some Nerf happy dev placing stupid numbers of super high lvl aggros on EVERY single portal in the game with no thought as to what is on the other side.
My only Decent and good peice of advice is. Get to WoM if you are lvl 50-60 it will be worth it. And be very happy that you sensably left the game a few weeks unlike some of us who regret it now.

I'm sure there are even better locations in the Fount or Enchanted Isles to harvest at. The problem is getting into them. I will start looking in those areas again in the next few days to see if the heavy guards I saw before are gone. The zerx guarding winds of muse can be snuck around of, but one agro and you are most certainly to die.
In Fyros, by thesos, you could literally find every single resource right next to town with no worry about agro. This includes basic, fine and choice sources. You could even bring your mek over and load up while you forage if you brought one there.
BTW, I'll meet you guys in Winds of muse tonight if you want to break in and get to the points. I tried to enlist some help from my guild but I dunno if any are coming. I suspect there maybe another portal in WM to either bounty beaches or roots.

Once you are in that big lake and searching around for resources, you are constantly agroed by cloppers and these bigger version of cutes called Doren. They are annoying and hit pretty hard. The upside is that I have found at least one excellent source in Winds of Muse and I have no doubt there are more somewhere and elsewhere in the borders.
I hope we can explore every one of the borderlands in detail and let the devs know just how hard our lands are to forage in compared to other lands.
I still have yet to be able to get into bounty beaches. The fount was too well guarded to get past the entrance. If the monsters are following the progression, the fount would have level 170-180 monsters.
I've been to fount and done some XP off those monsters, if memory serves me they are around 140 to 170 at the front. There are agro Torbeks at the beginning area, but not alot of them. Infact, the portal is "guarded" by herbivores (gnoofs and shalah i think, can't remember they all look the same to me). I've gotten relatively far in when we were exping there but I didn't want to ditch my group. Once my crafting is a bit higher I will probably go there

Sworn to secrecy about locations? About what locations? Locations of resources that are only usable by Trykers?
Overide, you seem like a nice person in game, but this kind of stuff makes me incredibly angry. We are not in a competition with each other in this game, infact we as Trykers are at a severe disadvantage compared to other races due to our small population and difficulty in finding resources and our relative isolation. I find the mere idea that anyone would hide something from a fellow Tryker that could possibly benifit them at all completely abhorrent. Hence the reason why I made this thread.
Honestly I have *no freaking clue what all you people in Loria are doing all the time* Occasionally I will see Scarlet pop out and craft some jewelry for people, but thats about it. I don't understand what the fun is of raising your lakeland harvest ability for absolutely no purpose but to raise it and then sell the mats... and not even sell the mats to a Tryker, but to a stupid hawker NPC.
There are several Trykers right now that >could< be doing alot to help our very small (no pun) community out. However... they don't. They just harvest away and chat over /region about how they are going to play EQ2 or WoW all evening.
Anyway, I am not going to be like that. For instance I flat out refused a suggestion by one of the officers in my guild that we keep the knowledge of the mat spawns and route into muse secret. That kind of thinking is petty and doesn't even deserved to be voiced out loud in my opinion.
After I raise my crafting and harvesting up past 100 I am going to hit Fount. I am going to find a way in and I'm going to find safe places to harvest. Then I'm going to post it here and tell everyone I can about how to do it. Already this afternoon when I logged in there were 12 people in muse today, when there was just 1 (me) there all night before. I hope to see this trend continue for the benifit of every Tryker out there.

I appreciate you starting this thread, jjim/Cornelia. It helped my guild mates get me into Muse, which was still no easy task. All of us racked up a lot of dp before we were able to make it to the lake. At one time, after spending 3 hours of waiting and 4 deaths for me, I was about ready to leave Tryker land for good, grind basic mats in Fryos forever and pretend I was just a really short Matis.
I did make it, finally, but there is no joy in the victory. Not when my guildmates had to suffer so much damage for my sake.

I spent alot of last night making armor and a weapon to sell to someone. I could make much more cash doing something else but I chosed to help him. Theres no secret, there are resources in every borderland. Just have to find the safe spots to harvest.
btw, I got caught up making this stuff for the guy last night I didn't get a chance to go to WoM to see if you guys were around.
Also, I can currently make ql 90 medium quality heavy Tryker armor and ql 70 2h swords, pikes, and axes. I normally go by the guideline of 1k/ql but if dig up your own mats, I'll do the combine for you for free. So you trykers who can harvest the ql 100 stuff that need armor for your guild just get me some mats and I'll make em for you. I got 5 more levels til I hit ql 100.
