I had 2+ of every gem, except Topaz. Ended up just buying and overpaying for the topaz. I have an 8 slot bag in my bank that is full of ore, if that gives you an idea.
No idea at all where to find this. Have opened I dunno how many supply crates and looked in towns and on crates and tables. Have never seen one or seen anyone selling one or anything.
I can confirm that it does drop; i gated back to my bindstone outside HC only for the Wildspell to be running by. First time I ever saw him, so I ran him down and killed him, he dropped this and a bunch of trash items (a cloth robe and a staff, neither had stats).
There is a sinister feralbone - level 7 undercon - drops 3 items so far - weathered baton 4dm 2.5 delay +1 sta - dirt riden belt 6ac +1 dex - moldy bracer 6ac +1str
I've camped the spawn by demith for several nights with no spawns so I tried the other spawn for atleast 3 nights. No spawns there either at night. I've killed all the PH bats. I don't get it.
Use the /time command to check the in-game time.
Kill the placeholder (PH) at 15:00 in-game time (add an extra minute for safety).
This will cause it to respawn at the start of nighttime, at 18:00 in-game time.
At this point, you have a chance to trigger the Bowman spawn.
If the skeleton spawns instead, kill it quickly.
Set a 16-minute timer to catch the final respawn of the night, assuming everything was timed correctly.
