im a 30mnk/15thf and i guess i get pretty lucky because when i farm goobbues i get cuttings about half the time...i also seem to get silk about a third of the time.
ether ur REALLY REALLY LUCKY!!! or severly overexagerating (sry i cant spell) or u just fought 2 gobbies and one of those times u got a tree cutting because i get one cutting about every 30 to 40 gobbies as a 40 war/ 20 thf. I mean if u killed 48 gobbies and got 24 cuttings ur one lucky lucky man because thats worth about 270k total on my server and i can kill 48 gobbies in about 2 hours.
How much do tree cuttings go for at AH?
right now, im a lv 33 thf/14 rng when i farm them (mithra), and they're not too hard. with a centurion's sword, 58 DEX, i have never missed yet. the tree cuttings seem to be as rare as a silk thread drop, and the treant bulbs are there almost every kill. these are good farming monsters, beacause they also drop boyahda moss fairly common, which is used for a quest in selbina, and great way to raise fame. the only thing you should watch out for are their abilities, like blank gaze (paralyze). if you're not careful, this can be devastating. I don't have the best armour, but they can hit ranging from 20-30 (crits 50), but they miss fairly often. if you're a thief, i suggest you start the battle with sneak attack, which can wipe out from 1/4 to 1/2 their health, making it an easy battle. in one fight (i have 499 hp), i usually end with 350+, which isnt too bad. i suggest you start the battle with 75% health just to be safe.
I hunted these alone as a lvl 33 SAM.
I killed about 6 and didn't get ANY drop!
What the heck is going on?!

Can a BST charm these?
Nope. BSTs cannot charm Goobbues, although that would be cool.

My DRK rocks these things pretty easily, high delay on attacks and they miss often. I was hitting for about 95-100 a hit. However, petrify can really ruin your day, I try not to fight them starting with less than 80% health just b/c of that. Rarely get cuttings, but Boyhada grass is alright and fairly common. ^^

the Tree clippings hardly drop, i have fought 15 solo and only got one. pretty hard for a 30 thf, i would wait till 31 or 32, good luck farming.
PS. oh and the crawlers hardly drop also. 1 silk thread from 12 of them and i am 32thf/16rng

i'd be wary of soloing one of these at 30. they hit pretty dang hard for easy prey and they have a pretty decent amount of hit points.

When can a RDM easily farm these?
I'm Currently RDM37/BLM18 and I have absolutly no problems with them. I started fighting them at about 32-33. Just Dia/Blind/Paralyze/Slow them and keep your buffs up.
I am always farming out in the Marshlands and I get tree cuttings to drop every 10th kill and at the Bastok AH they go for 4k same as out in Windurst, I really havent checked San d'Oria or Jeuno to see how much they go for, I farm them to get gil I dont use them to garden, I can solo these guys with healing after every 2, I get annoyied at them cause of they drop treant bulbs like crazy, I hat those things
If yo farm these for like 1 hr, you can mke 20k (well, from what i killed, crawlies, and gobbus) and its easy :). Tree cuttings can net you like alot of gil by putting them in a porcelien pot (dark ore) gobbus have barely any hp, but hit hard and fast. theydrop water crystals, boyando moss, tree cuttings, and dahlias, and treant bulbs. easy farming :0
OK ^^ I plan on growing a lot of Tree Sapplings and well don't want to spend money on the Tree Cuttings. How rare is this drop? Does it drop fairly nice or takes a while to get?
Sorry, some how I got confused and double posted.

OK ^^ I plan to grow many Tree Sapplings and well, I don't want to pay for all the Cuttings. If I hunt Goobbues will they drop Cuttings rarely or is it a common drop?

Where do you find these guys in Pashwo Marshlands?
As Elowan stated, they are fairly spread out. However, when I farm Pashhow for Goobs, I usually stick to G-10 and I-7/I-8. At G-10 there are usually two that spawn there, and their respawn rates are fairly quick (up to 5 mins at times). G-10 also has an abundance of Crawlers that you can kill to try to get silks while waiting for the Goobs to respawn. At I-7/I-8 there is usually one or two as well as Jolly Green, a NM Goobbue. The goobs at I-7/I-8 seem to take a little longer to respawn than then ones at G-10. Again, there are Crawlers around to bide the time. Good hunting :).
They seem to be found fairly spread out randomly in the marshlands - the only places I haven't seen them are RIGHT next to the ponds / lakes, and in the narrow corridors that lead to Beadeaux. Other than that, they seem to be spread about randomly. Starting from the Highlands zone, running towards Rolanberry (North), it's pretty hard not to run across several. Note of course that you may run across a Marlboro or two as well (plus scads of Quadavs, crawlers near the lakes, and the ubiquitous hare-type creature that are everywhere)
got tree clippings from these too, what are they for?
They are used for gardening. They are worth 3000ish per at jeuno's AH.
