Can't find any ice wraths in cyrodiil in caves around Bruma, only bandits in caves. But I see Ice Wraths in Eastmarch in west upper part of map.

Any updates to info about collectibles loot locations?

Hey OP, have a couple of insights here that might help. Before I do though I wanted to thank you for starting this. It was a huge help!

The absolute best place to farm Ogrims is in the Tower of Lies in Coldharbour, NOT the Everfull Flagon Wayshrine area. The respawn here is insane and there are TONS of them. If people are farming them just go into the cave or out the other end of the cave. Outside there are 13-ish.

The only problem is that these are level 44 mobs, meaning a VR isn't going to be able to use this spot. Really sucks. If this isn't a viable option use Deshaan.

For the Perfectly Balanced Gyro (Sphere collectible) use Klathzgar rather than Razak's Wheel. There are way more in there and the respawn is great. Don't run around the entire dungeon. The main entrance forks into three paths. Just run up and back down each of them and they'll respawn shortly after. There's roughly 16-ish along this path.

Craglorn now has jackals in 1.6 patch. That means DC characters that were over-leveled for the Alik'r before collectibles were fixed now have an option to get the Cruel Collar without going through a backdoor of rolling an alt and swapping through the bank. The pack is just past the guild traders outside Belkarth.

StrangerFull · February 2015

It would be nice if there were added to all kinds of high-level mobs for opportunities to achieve veteran character.
For example Bull Netch in this guide is given only in Bal Foyen for pact, but this type of mob in Coldharboure and not only there, do not think that in order to achieve the loot drops only in Bal Foyen.

I got the zombie hand from df desert docks

I can confirm that. I get Cruel Collar in Craglorn on PTS.

@Stangerfull I got the Ice Wraith collectible in the delve closest to Windhelm in Eastmarch.

As an EP character, ice wraiths are a pain in the ass... No location in my level zone! (VR14)

I think your only option for ice wraiths is in Cyrodil. You should do a ticket. I complained about jackals for DC alts, and they are added to Craglorn in 1.6.

Yes, I will do that.

I have only found 4-5 Ice Wraiths in Cyrodiil scattered across the northern part. Not the way to go ;P

Maitencio · February 2015

Just found a great location for Ogres, probably even better than Sinji's Scarp in Stormhaven. Head to the AD zone Greenshade and find the solo dungeon Carec Dena. It's along the coastline, pretty far south. It has nothing but ogres and there's about 40 in here.

Ourorboros · February 2015

Great tip, especially for us DC vets. Thanks!

Muadyb · February 2015

Greetings,

Im DC Player.
Just finished the Collectibles Achievements (except the Jackals - only after 1.6 patch in Craglorn).

I want to thank everyone who contributed to this guide.

Good Guide.

Happy Exp and Loot Hunt

I spent 2 full levels grinding Kagouti in a dungeon on an alt, out leveled the mob, 4 stacks of hide and no collectible.

These achievements will be the death of me.

4 stacks of hide seem fairly low considering you spent 2 whole levels. What was your level range?

Only level 20ish, the Kagouti in an EP Deshaan delve, did laps, destroyed some stuff and repeated. I'm currently grinding 10 Kagouti random spawns in Shadowfen on the same alt, so far 1 level has been gained and nothing.

I'm hoping to get two collectibles on him at the very least, but I seem to out-level things before I snag a drop.

Edit: took a break and killed like 30 bats, dropped a collectible. The RNG nature of this is frustrating, I remember spending over 19 hours farming harpies only to drop a feather from killing a random harpy outside of a dungeon.

if you are talking about The Chill Hollow, those are not ice wraiths, they are wisps.

went through the entire delve just now and didn't see a single ice wraith in there

Truer words were never posted. About half my collectibles are drops during routine questing and exploration, after killing single mob. And I've spent hours farming various creatures with only a few drops. But I have also had a few drops after very little farming. RNG, she be a fickle (***) mistress.

Maitencio · February 2015

One of the collectibles I have left is the Bile Gilt that drops off of the bull Netch. I know there's still some confusion about whether Betty Netches drop this as well. So I asked CS about it and this is their response:

"This is Gamemaster Lyrum from The Elder Scrolls Online Team. I'm really sorry about all of the confusion here.

I did some digging, and from everything that I see it seems that only the bull netch drops the bile gilt. The bile gilt produces a potent venom, and only bull netches are venomous. Betty netches are not."

There you have it. The Bull Netch is the only kind of netch that drops the collectible. If you're farming them in Bal Foyen, you're going to have to kill both types of netch anyway because they share spawn points. If you only kill the bulls you're eventually going to be left with just bettys.

Thanks very much for the clarification. That's still on my list for farming.

Hi all,

I been working my way slowly through this achievement which is extremely frustrating..

Anyhow, im looking for a Stony Heart now.. and i've been farming Gargoyles in Bangkorai now for the past week and still nothing dropped..

I am AD and the mobs lev there is VR 10.

Just to make sure, do these gargoyles drop the collectible? I haven't tried the suggested areas in the thread thinking that All Gargoyles, regardless of area, should be able to drop that stony heart...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

About the Stony Heart, the Gargoyles in Craglorn (Farm between H. R. Citadel / Tombs of the Na-Totambu) are the best spot.
I got my Stony Heart this way.

Tarikko · March 2015

Thank you Mudayb, I will try this..

I am not sure the Gargoyles i been farming drop the collectible...

I got at least 8 epic drops so far and no "heart" yet..

I will move my farming to Craglorn tonight.

Cheers

Tarikko · March 2015

Those Gargoyles in Craglorn got 15k HP

Gonna be a looooong grind it seems
