Most annoying Regent to Collect

We all have them something we need a lot of and have a hard time or spend a large sum of money to collect.

I know at the lower levels it seems for me to be Mist Wood, but I also have some fish on certain items that can become annoying to collect (but at least I can sell others I get - Fish that is).

So what is your item?

Sonic springs

They're only available during the BOXES event, or if you want to open some packs, and the drop rate from either of those is extremely low. Over 20 runs in the various BOXES this time around and nothing.

Scrap Iron. I needed 32 pieces to get an Initiate crafting badge, and I couldn't transmute because that required an Initiate Crafter badge! I spent 3 weeks getting all the scrap iron I needed.

At the highest levels, I'm torn between saying Flying Squid Ink and Aethyer Ore (which is 'easier' overall but way more tedious because we can only collect one at a time from a spawn point). Ont he other hand, Flying Squid Ink only drops from battles ... if you're lucky. It's more like 1 out of 10 battles. Since the gear and wand recipes are calling for 45 Squid Ink each, I'm calculating it takes roughly 450 street battles to collect enough Squid Ink to craft ONE item.

That. Is. Annoying.

Also, Amber!

thats about right, but in the calamari dungeon the drop rate for squid ink is kind of crazy, but easier for me. its either every 3rd battle or every battle you fight, if your having trouble try farming there.

my hardest reagent was the shinning scales though if we're talking amount, that was sandstone. I crafted the jungle house from azteca and the sandstone to craft all the items i needed for was BRUTAL sandstone drops the most from mirage and that place makes krokotopia look like a one way bullet train to your next destination. I had to jump across the desert until i gave up and just went into the main hub area where it drops less but i could kind of keep track of the spawn points.

Participation Trophys are the absolute worst idea ever. I hate PvP with a passion and I'm not particularly fond of the tedium of pet racing so slowly building up arena tickets (or hoping to get some from the daily assignment) is just pure torture. It'd be less painful craft them using a combination of 100 antiquities 100 scrap iron and 100 bronze for each individual trophy.

shining scales. the trophies are time consuming much like aether ore. i have better luck at the bazaar than fishing recently.

Participation trophies are easy. Enter tournaments. Even if you lose most or all of your battles you get 200-400 trophies in under an hour.

they're also rewards from the daily assignments. I've asked for a Spring --> Sonic Spring transmute recipe for a while now

Amber has gotten easier over the years. The hidden bosses in Aquila usually do a decent job of dropping these when I farmed for them. It would be easier to get if they changed the Transmute recipe to not need a ton of ingredients, and just make it a straight conversion of Amber Dust to Amber. Only time will tell if they ever do it though.

Yes, Amber is awful to get because you've got to wait a while before you can consistently farm, but the drop rates aren't as bad as some of the Arcanum Crafting stuff. It's real "fun" to get those reagents

Evil accidental back button ate my post again.

My vote: Sonic Springs.

Runner up: Amber

Reagent I love to find: Antiques (because SHINY!)

The longer version was more fun to read

most of the zones you can scavenge up scrap iron from are in marleybone

It's hard to choose just one reagent. Many of them are annoying including Sunstone. Hmm, for me I say Amber, and Pigsie TC are most annoying .
