Are you trying on roots or shrubs? I usually find I get more rare roots off the bushes personally. And for the smoldering material go fishing.

<p>Six Mantrap roots, pah, I'm a Troubadour. I had to harvest 10 Xegonites. Mind you at least i didn't have to dodge aggro to do it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Advice would be get your harvesting skill as high as possible, Tinkered tools at the very least. If you are lucky and are level 80 crafter then make sure you are wearing the Earrring of the Solstice and any gear you can get from the Far Seas Faction merchant like the craft Unicorn.</p><p>Good luck you will do it in the end</p>

<p>Its the epic weapon quest. Even I leave timesink objections at the door when it leads to something like a Mythical weapon.</p><p>Now, if it were a mundane quest that just gives coin and AA then I would object.</p>
