Introduction

 

So first a short introduction, atm it is really hard for ironman to obtain some herblore secondaries, as you may or may not know, ironman are unable to buy herblore secondaries from the shops like normals or classic (classics can buy them right?). Because of this we have to collect herblore secondary ingridients our self. As much as i love this concept and I really don't want this to chance, I do however have some suggestion for making some secondaries for herblore less anoying and more consistent to obtain.

 

Note: all the averages I use are obtain by picking up 5 of each item and timing how long it would take me on average. Also some secondaries are not in this suggestion because I feel they don't really have any significance if they were added (like adding desert goats for desert goat horns would be dead content imo). Times from osrs are respawn times on fairly populated server, keep that in mind.

 

Snape grass

atm there are 2 decent ways of obtaining snape grass:

picking them at hobgoblins near crafting guild with a 43 sec respawn timer

Recieving them as a uncommon drop from Waterfiends (3-20 noted)

 

suggestion: The spawn timer for snape grass atm is way to high, on osrs the spawn timer for snape grass is approximately 13 seconds, also maybe add more snape grass spawns like on waterbirth island (would be easy to reach with dagannoth teleport).

 

Blue dragon scale

The only good way of obtaining blue dragon scales atm is to pick them up at blue dragons, this isn't the wordt method but I feel like the spawn timer is still a litle to high on here with a average 41 sec respawn timer

 

suggestion: lower the respawn time to 30 seconds (couldn't find the time for osrs anywhere) this will make them much quicker to obtain.

 

Wine of zamorak

There are multiple ways of obtaining Wines of zamorak:

Chaos fanatic drups them commonly 10 (noted)

Cerberus drops them commonly 15 (noted)

Kalphite queen drops them uncommonly 60 (noted)

Zammy bodyguard drop them uncommonly 3-10 (should be noted but it's bugged)

You can pick them up at chaos altar in deep wildy with a respawn timer of 40 seconds.

 

suggestion: I feel like wines of zamorak aren't to hard to obtain but I feel like a small tweek could be in place. I know that we have 4 spawns on here while you have only 1 on osrs but the respawn time on osrs is 24 secs, I think this would be to short for alora but i feel like 30 seconds would make it just a bit better to obtain zammy wines a little faster and make it less anoying. Also fix it so zammy bodyguards drop them noted instead of unnoted.

 

White berries

There are 3 decent ways of obtaining white berries:

Corporeal Beast drops them commonly 120 (noted)

Kurasks drops them uncommonly 12 (noted)

A few can be picked up at lava dragons with a respawn timer of  39 secs

 

suggestion:

I feel like white berries are more luck based then something you can grind out, you either have to kill corp alot or camp kurasks for days if you want a decent amount of white berries. On osrs white berries have a respawn time of only 4-5 seconds why is it so long on here? I feel like it would be way better, also for lower level players, if white berries had a lower respawn time of around 10 seconds so they would be easier to obtain at lava dragons.

 

Potato cactus

atm there is only 1 way of obtaining potato cactus and that is by killing kalphite queen which drops it commonly 100 (noted).

 

Suggestion: Just like osrs, add spawn points near the kalphite queen and at the kalphite soldiers in the lair, this would make it easier for low levels to obtain potato cactus and also wouldn't force you into killing kalhite queen only to obtain potato cactusses

 

Crushed nests (via mole skins) _{thanks to @Thunk for pointing out this mistake}

I have made a suggestion about this before that has been added to the main suggestion list, you can see the suggestion over here: http://www.alora.io/...e/#entry117771 

 

Edit: Ye its me pointed out to me that I was missing some suggestions on my list so here they go:

 

Red Spiders' eggs

Atm red spider eggs are obtained by 2 methods:

Picking them up at venenatis

Killing Venenatis who drops them uncommonly 500 (noted)

 

Suggestion: Even though these methods are find for normal ironman, these methods are really risky for hardcor and ultimate ironman, This is why I'd like to suggest adding a spawn in non wildy (like karmja volcano) or adding the low level edge dungeon spawns at the red spider in lvl 3(?) wildy. This would make it way safer for UIM and HC to botain red spiders' eggs.

 

Jangerberries

Atm there is no way of obtaining jangerberries as an ironman.

 

Suggestion: Add the spawning location at ogres near yanille with a low respawn timer because it's not that close to the bank, this would make it able for ironman to (finally) collect these.

 

Chocolate dust

Atm the only way to obtain chocolate dust as an ironman is to steal from cake stalls where you can get a chocolate bar at a really low chance. 

 

Suggestion: Make an easier way to obtaining chocolate bars, maybe make it so the cake stall only gives chocolate bars or any another method would be fine aswel.

 

final note: The reason I haven't added limp roots and mort myre fungus is because I feel like these 2 are kind of decently obtainable atm. even though mort myre fungy is still a bit slower then osrs itself.
