Guild Wars 2

I have now killed the Treasure Mushroom in Bloodstone Fen three times and it has not dropped any item I need for the Specialization Collections. Does this mushroom not count towards it or is it a random drop?

Looking for Invisible Herald’s Mushroom Spore. I have tried to get one in another map to see if this works but I cannot find anyone to help me.

AFAIK the BF TM doesn’t drop the spores.

Just go to the AB TM 15mins before the meta starts; plenty of people just hanging out that you can call on, and the mobs there aren’t too lethal.

Well exploring BF doesn’t count for the collections either, so it’s not super surprising.

It’s possible that the TM in BSF also has a daily chance to drop the Invisible shoes, although that thing is so rare that I can’t be sure anyone’s actually gotten it from the TM in BSF yet.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of the Treasure Mushroom in Bloodstone Fen?

None, really. It’s just one more event, that doesn’t even give a champ bag.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of the Treasure Mushroom in Bloodstone Fen? Some minor, extra loot that’s not much better than a generic mob makes little sense.

Edit: After some research, I’m reading other people confirming that the one in Bloodstone doesn’t drop the needed spores for any collection.

I figured it was a bug, but yeah, can confirm that I’ve never gotten a collection item from it.

Which means there’s no point in it being there. Treasure Mushrooms are mostly bothersome HP sponges that flail around into other mobs. Granted, the one in Fen is really easy to back into a corner, but it still takes minutes to kill for an insignificant speck of loot.

I have gotten a mushroom spore from that treasure mushroom. It’s possible, but there can easily be a bug related to it. I got the Daredevil spore.
