Vana'diel Bestiary: Maighdean Uaine  

ok i am trying to get this for my DRk atm, im elvaan so att- wont rele effect me much anyway, but anyway, iw as just wondering if you only kill saplings in I-5 and if he has been noted to spawn out of I-5 since its a pain in the @$$ to kill all the saplings in the say 2 box radius of I-5 saince there are so many saplings and they re-pop so fast. ->thanks<-

Got this a while back; killed it onw back from palborough mines by accident.

Looks like this a 100% drop :)

I've used it on my melee characters at 10 since then; good results.

Took 2 campings, first one about 2hrs and second one about 1.5hrs. Finally it popped @ bottom right corner of (I-5). Earring dropped so the 100% drop is likely. Pain in the *** covering that big area, Widescan is an absolute must (used THF47/RNG23 Widescan myself).

Phew! some list, eh? Sorry, I don't know of a dungeon one for Windy-side.. I would say the NM ooze in IHR, Maltha. but she IS NOT 100% (I am 1/6 on her) I will give a give low-down on the items dropped. Since their names are very unique and I dont want to type them out again, I will just say the zone (sorry no dmg or delay specs.. this post is long enough)

I was heading to go mine in the goblin area (can't spell the name so I'm not going to try) and it was just standing there. So I killed it and got the drop. Too bad this story wasn't with a little better mob.

This perticular NM took me a second try to get it to pop >.<;
the first time I went to all the listed spots that other people had found that it poped at and killed every Sapling I came across -.-; with no luck (did it for about 2hours)
Second time, I did one thing difrent I didnt kill each single Sapling I came across one at a time (I was lvl 19 Whm at the time) so when I found a Spaling I used Dia then had it follow me, then repeated found another used Dia and then again till I had about 6-9 Saplings following me :P then I kill them all at once or one at time (most the time I'd use Banishga)
After doing that for about 1-2hours it finaly poped in the upper corner of (I-6) near the pathway :) only thing I got was the earing ^_^

but another thing to mention I made about 16-22k(Siren Server) from Grain/Vegtable Seeds I got of the Walking Spalings just trying to get it to pop.

Edit(the black dot is where this NM poped for me) : This is where the NM poped for me

I just got this earring tonight, took about 30minutes to spawn. I camped this once b4 for like 2hours no spawn. I bet some one had been leveling in the area or someone else was camping it becuase of the short spawn time. Spawned about at the top of J-6 closest to Zegham Hill.

Edit: The level I think is about 18-22.

Just killed this thing like 5 mins ago, after logging in and about 15 mins of killing saplings. 2 hits from carby and it was dead, lol.

It popped in the upper middle of J-6, right beside Zegham Hill. Only dropped the earring, which is 100% anyway i hear, but nothing else dropped with it.

saw him pop near the hills leading to palborough mines. i'm fairly sure he does not pop on hills, but I may be wrong.

Maighdean Uaine is a Gaelic term from olden days...

In Celtic folklore, a glaistig is a female fairy, who is often clothed in green and who is sometimes also known as 'maighdean uaine'

I spent about an hour killing saplings last night before I got tired and logged. Logged back in this morning thinking that it'd be real funny if it was spawned and killing a low level. I was half right, it was spawned sitting in the upper left of J-6 up against the big hill.

I did 380 damage in 3 hits, it hit me twice for 4 each (40WAR/RNG in kinda underleveled gear due to being too lazy to get my good stuff out of mog). And since the general agreement is that it's a 100% drop, I don't really need to say this but I did get the drop.

I was on my way to Oldton for a little bit of mining when I saw this chump walking down the path, claimed, (beat him with my bare hands cuz I cleaned out inventory )and of course got the drop. not hard as long as you are over 20. funny thing is, I saw a thf running towards bastok not a minute earlier, can only assume they were killing saplings for hours, and I reaped the benefits. Loverly little bauble, get rid of one of those damned beetle earrings for drk. forking elvaan and their hidden trait -200 acc.
