Sol VIII.6812 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is something I think is necessary. Somewhere in the Maguuma Jungle should be a node placed that gives a guaranteed Maguuma Lily once a day per account. It could be subject to the same rules as the Blooming Passiflora node, so that the shortage of this material can be counteracted, while still keeping its rare nature. Now some may say, that Freshwater Pearls are similiarly rare and expensive, but Muzzle nodes have several cluster locations, are also present in PoF-areas and drop from containers, while Jungle Plants are entirely limited to the HoT-maps and Ember Bay (which also needs HoT), scattered across the maps and are the only source.

Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yes! Either that or make a Maguuma Lily a choice in the TD Hero's Choice Chest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Jungle plants are in Draconis Mons not Ember Bay. When there were enough people wandering around it dropped the price of lilies down to around 6g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped to around 10g now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the correction...I probably mixed it up because I thought about the Blooming Passiflora nodes in Ember Bay.@Khisanth.2948 said:When there were enough people wandering around it dropped the price of lilies down to around 6g.Which one might argue is still way too much for a crafting material of this kind and it got worse.

Khisanth.2948 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Probably got worse because people are now in PoF instead of HoT. Draconis Mons does have a lot of them but I haven't found any good routes for them(not that I've been actively trying). Their price is tempting but RNG and risk mitigation says not worth the effort. Pearls are a lot more reliable. The only reliable node for them are the two in the center of Tarir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Lillies have been as low as 6g (when I got my current supply). I don't really see a problem with them being expensive (as long as only some stats are like that). I wouldn't mind if they were cheaper; I just don't think it's important enough for ANet to try to tinker (and risk making things worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinterberg.2783 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 There are Jungle Plants in Ember Bay, at the green island to the south :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The drop rate is really horrendous. It's like 1 lily per 200-300 nodes. That's much lower than other cases, where it's generally a whole category better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stack up on some gathering buffs and crack on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
