A helpful person today told me that there is only 1 spot where frost yetis spawn, and there are only 2 of them there. Is this correct? Or do they exist somewhere else as well?
The drop rates themselves honestly aren't that bad. Every night I've gone to farm them, I've gotten 2-3 books, usually 1 of which I need in 2-3 hours. That's really not that bad.
All 40+ spellbooks in game drop at the same ball-park rate (1/300ish, plus or minus 50). The only reason it seems bad in Frozen Labyrinth atm is cause the entire server is trying to pwn the same 3 mobs to get their books lol...wait a few weeks and the problem will be a lot less.
Yes, most books have, but not clarity. Clarity and one other spell drop only from these two mobs, and the sell prices are still millions because of that. The other mobs that drop books have many, many spawn points. Its just the dang yetis. I think they're an endangered species.
What is nice is that a lvl 66 SpS can still hunt and AOE the ursas and frost yeti.
Also, its nice that the drop rate isnt that high because regular players like me have a chance to make some good money selling books to those people who get adena in "other" ways.
I grind 2-3 hours out there and i will get with AOE 5-10 books in a night.
Clarity is closer to a 1/300 drop from what i have found. Only ever got 3 of them since C5 started.
