How to Obtain The Items For Hongmoon Skill Achievement

[BigJ01]

Quick guide on how to obtain all the items you need to eat in order to unlock the LMB Hongmoon Skill Achievement:

 

1. Ocean Life Force - Fire/Ice Birds at Plog Sanctum (or Poharan in 24 man)

 

 

 

2. Deep Sea Kelp - Red Thrashscales near Summer Song Cafe 

 

 

 

3. Golden Honey - Ravenous Brown Bear also near Summer Song Cafe

 

 

 

4. Fog Mushroom - Raging Grassquatch (Really anywhere in skypetal plains i think, but theres some at Summer Song Cafe too and they walk around a lot)

 

 

5. Evil Spirit Root - Highbloom Bulbari also at Summer Song Cafe (seems to be a pattern :X)

 

6. Hongmoon Pellet - Through Clan Crafting

Now sorry I haven't read up on this, but you need all the items for the achieve?

 

Months ago after using an Ocean Life Force for giggles, I noticed it gave a buff saying "You are ready to learn a Hongmoon Skill" or something to that effect, so I kept one in my bank assuming I'd need it later.

 

Do you need to consume all of them within a certain time period, or just each of them once?

[BigJ01]

You have to eat each of them once, and it only counts after the Silverfrost Patch I believe. We didn't have the achievement in game before so it wouldn't have counted if you consumed the ocean life force then. You can see the achievement by pressing "U" -> Character -> Skills.

why does it have to be that complex..

[BigJ01]

All these items will be avaliable in the achievement vendor on Wednesday as well

Correction, except for Hongmoon Pellet. And yep they will probably cost 10 naryu silver each from Achievement NPC.

How do I start the LMB hongmoon skill quest?

[Xazinos]

I been killing it over 30+ times now, still didn't get it. Is that really the place? or the drop rate is low?

 

[BigJ01]

Drop rate is just low, they all drop from here. The other option is the buy them from the achievement vendor in Zaiwei - Merchant Square for 10 Naryu Silver each.

[Xazinos]

Yeah, i just got one. drop rate is pretty awful. I guess it's better off farming Achievement points and buy it from the vendor

 

[DaamienLemarr]

Are you sure the bulbari drop it? I've killed like 30 of them, nothing so far :(

Yea they do drop here, its just very rare. Remember you can buy them from the achievement vendor in Zaiwei for 10 Naryu Silver each.

7 months necro....but its still usefull :D       (if the thing still work this way)

 

Im the case i decide to start farmin those for my chars:

 

Anyone know if the items are tradeable (doubt it) or maybe account bound?

What is the respawn time of those mobs? Afew seconds/minutes, or it take forever?

Any idea how strong they are? AP required or so to have a chance at them without losing all day?

 

Thanks all in advance

Unfortunately the items is not account bound. How I wish this game would be more alt friendly...

 

The respawn is same as other mobs. By time you do a full circle of the field, they should have respawned.

 

My FM with 470ap can reliably kill the Bear, Bulbari and Thrasher without dying.  They dont use any high damage skills.

The Grassquatch and Fire/Ice Bird might need more AP/DPS to kill it at a faster rate.

 

The drop rate is truly abysmal. I got lucky on the Thrasher with first kill drop. Still need the Root and Honey, killed 50+ combined and still nothing.

You can get all these items from Achievement Merchant in Zai Wei merchant square. I think you need 20 Nayru Silver for each item. I don't remember the achievement requirement, but it should be around 1200-1500.   

[ander01se]

Farming them around 500ap means you'll spend some time sitting on your butt for respawn.

Takes about 40s-1.5m or so to kill them off depending on your class / build / dps rotation I guess.

Achievement points required to buy them is 1250 I think.

 

All are easily farmable as long as you are familiar with their rotations.

The 'hujikar' thingies bite / grab when he lifts his head to the right etc.

The birds can be a bit annoying since they spawn close to each other. Try pull them to the road to avoid adds.

[Panca21]

Really dont know if its better to try to farm them or to go mad trying to get the 1200+ achievement points....thats far far away even following some "guides" that show what to do to make it quick...thats not so quick anyway without hours and hours...

Buy a few Suspicious Contraband boxes from Dragon Express. Farm the rest when you're not willig to spend more Energy on dupes.

1200+ achievement points is easy to accomplish. It just takes a bit of time. Unless you want to unlock all the HM skills within a week after you created a new character OR gear up your alt with the golds/materials from your main character and skipping most of the quests (crafting, faction, etc), then it is hard.

[Kuraite]

Is this post still useful? I am trying to get the achievment with my archer and the items havent drop, so if there is other new way to get them instead of this please say ^^ Thanks.

You can get them from either jadestone village from the npc to the right of the notice board with bloodstone or in celestial basin with peaches.
