Where do I harvest Tier 5?

<p>for a lowbie .. </p><p>Do Rivervale.   There is a "safe-ish" area at the front. </p><p>From the Fool's Gold towards the Loom ( careful the mobs can agro from inside though ) up around the 1st 2 hills.  Watch out for the evil dyrads. </p><p>If you are feeling brave .. you can harvest a bit in Shakey's farm.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I've worked on harvesting skill there with a lvl 12 (at the time).   You will die a few times.  But, meh .. leave your real clothes at home.   </p>

If invis is effective, make a circle around the hill the tower sits on and you'll see tons of nodes and be able to see where concentrations of Fallen Rallosians and dragonflies are. Mobs you need to pass will be in the 37-40ish range, and no non-named mob will see through invis if it does work

Another suggestion, assuming you have EoF.  The southern end of Steamfront is Tier 5.  Not sure if it's safer or more dangerous then the other suggestions, I've only gone there once to harvest, and on a level 70th paladin so didn't pay attention to what "guarded" the nodes.  Anyway, might be worth a shot.  Worst case, if you've never been to Steamfront, you pick up some AA EXp from discovery hits.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Rivervale is definately your best bet.  A relatively big safe area with only one epic mob that spawns every few hours and roams the area.  Stay out of the buildings and away from the large hill with the dyrads and you will be reasonably safe.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but how is it possible for a level 27 character to harvest from Tier 5 zones? You won't have the required harvesting skills. You need a 190 harvesting skill for T5, and at level 27 you're maxing out at 135.

Rivervale looks like it is goig to be just what I am looking for.  Thanks folks.
