I am looking for Pristine Shadow Claw, for my Reaper specialization collection (Dark Harvest). I have killed numerous smokescales in Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths and Dragon’s Stand without success (50+ at the latest count).

The Wiki is a bit misleading, it seems (“shadowscales” = smokescales is the assumption).

Any advice & suggestions regarding where to look, specific mobs/boss smokescales to kill etc would be very helpful.

Kind regards,

Adzekul of Seafarer’s Rest

I hear a good drop is the PvP Smokescale chest for the VB track. Otherwise apparently another good option is farming Auric Basin. Just be mindful of DR, stack magic find and go after vets/champs of smokescales

I don’t know, mine came while I was doing something else and wasn’t going for that collection. I think it came out of the Filtering Saurians part of an early Pact Encampment daylight event in VB in the first few days of HoT.

The thing is there seem to be some that just don’t drop until you’ve killed dozens if not hundreds of the dropping mob. I still don’t have my dust mite item even after doing search and destroy on dust mites in DT and VB for a while, nor the tiger item. My tengu feather for Bo took far too much tengu farming in AB. But I think I got all my other items very quickly, often in the first 1-3 kills. So likely it’s just RNGing at you and you’ll have to slog through the smokescales until it finally drops.

I just killed the vet plus the normal one in the area the wiki mentions. Took about maybe a dozen or so kills. Didn’t really like that spot since there were also too many people dragging multiple packs of pocket raptors through it. The one near the Bugs in the Branches adventure probably would have been less annoying.

It was how I got mine. Funny though because after I was finished opening the PvP boxes, I was planning to go farm it.
