Question on druidic wreath farming

[Llamas Notsheep]

I'm trying to make a knot of isis and have all the requisites except the damn druidic wreath. It's a normal difficulty recipe. I've been doing x3 runs clearing hades, A2 telkine, and the jade soldiers in the Chang'an palace, and after doing that loop about 15 times last night, I got sick of it. I was just wondering if anyone could offer any insight on what level monsters or what acts are the best bet to find the recipe.

(edit: What I'm really wondering is whether A1 mino/telkine runs are likely to turn up any good results - is a greater artifact recipe going to drop in Act 1 Normal? I did a few of the runs and found only lesser recipes, but I haven't found many greaters on Hades, so I don't know)

Thanks much!


P.S. I've been poking around here a lot since I started playing TQ a couple weeks ago, and I like the community a lot. I've made a lot of use of the suggestions and builds here for my bow Haruspex and my Harbinger.

I just had one drop on the stairs in hades right before the lich queen alter. Good luck finding yours!

Thanks a ton! I went to the A3 telkine yesterday and got it in just 13 runs (compared to a total of about 30 hades runs the day before). I'm loving the knot of Isis... not sure which I like more, having 97% missile avoidance or getting restored to full life when I hit low health.

If I am not mistaken Druidic Wreath is a Greater artifact, meaning it requires two lesser artifacts in its ingredients + a charm/relic. Again if I am not wrong those two artifacts are Leafsong and Crystal Tear.

Correct, along with a viny thingumy, IIRC. I had everything required for it, just didn't have the formula. Was a pain in the arse =P

Ah that sucks.

I noticed that some lesser artifacts are pretty good, while others tend to suck.

it dropped round level 25-30 on several of my toons

I like to keep most of my formulae in the transfer area of caravan. This way I can check with each of my character whether they have the right ingredients.

Wow I know you didn't intentionally give me an answer, but I think you just answered a question I had that I didn't even ask yet!

So if you put an item in the transfer caravan it doesn't disappear when you log out?

I know I could have tested it with some crappy item I just never did it. I just had a feeling if you logged out you'd lose the items. Imagine my concern when I was in the middle of a transfer and I got an AIM message and thought the game would crash! hahahaha
