Reekwater Mosswater Bourg Farm

Good Morning Friends! I still have a large stack of these camps to go through and this morning we are going to introduce a pretty enjoyable one. If you are Syndicate faction and have done all of your promotion quests, you will recognize this location because this is where Lost Alchemist Krockes spawns. However, he is not really who we are focused on because all of the good stuff actually drops from his pet alligator named Putris. Krockes also has a good drop on his table, but the vast majority of what we care about is sitting on the gator… but we will be killing both each time. The only real interruptions out here will be from other folks farming for drops or for syndicate players trying to complete the quest. Please let them do so and if you find them wandering around aimlessly… maybe send them a tell to let them know it is about to spawn again.

This is located due west of Reekwater town, and is on the border of Windsward… but entering in from that direction will just mean you have to clear away more encounters as the density of mobs is thickest along that edge. If you were being very careful you could honestly probably avoid fighting anything on your way to Krockes and Putris. There are a good number of spawns along the road however and if you stray off the path there is at least one of those silver-colored alpha wolves. Both encounters drop a piece of tradeskill gear, so it is actually fairly likely that you might encounter someone else farming with you. As always this is a good opportunity to group up and make a new friend as you while away the hours of farming for that drop you need. Krockes drops Obsidian Gypsum so he is a pretty easy way to farm your daily three.

All told it is a really great general camp especially for Dexterity-focused builds given you can pick up a Greatsword, Rapier, and Spear that are all drift compatible with that lifestyle. For those of you on Team Strength, then there isn’t much at all that is going to interest you. I do really like the Void Gauntlet overall since I tend to go down the tree that it is buffing. However, one thing I have noticed is it is like AGS over-compensated and puts twice as many Void Gauntlets, Greatswords, and Blunderbusses out in the world than they did other weapon types. Let’s dive into a rundown of the notable drops:

• Lost Alchemist Krockes
  • Engineer Gloves – Engineering Tradeskill Gear
• Putris
  • Putrefaction – DEX Greatsword
  • Rotten Limb – INT/FOC Putrefying Scream Void Gauntlet
  • Junglestrike – DEX Spear
  • Putrid Fishbone – DEX Rapier
  • Artisan Jewelcrafter’s Hood – Jewelry Tradeskill Gear

Another interesting side effect of this camp is you are very likely to walk away with a bag full of various legendary crafting materials. I think I farmed this for around four hours to get all of the drops. I saw 1 rapier, 1 greatsword, 3 void gauntlets, 5 spears, and around a dozen different legendary materials. You will also walk away with stacks of the highest-tier potions, which is admittedly one of the positives of the farmer lifestyle. I really need to track down a Strength-Based spear, but so far I have yet to find one… at least not from a farmable camp like this.

I believe I have six more of these waiting in the wings now, pending I don’t find any new ones to run off into the world and document. As always I have collected these in a Loot Farms category here on the blog, and I think my plan once completed is to add something to the Game Tools page that breaks the information out by weapon type. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.
