Crystalline Blackrock
I returned to the game. I initially began buying Crystalline Blackrock. However when I saw prices of 3,000000. I said I am going to get my own. I used google and saw you could get it from the Stygian Abyss. I took my bard there and my tamer. I did not get it. I then saw you could get it from Golden Elementals under Blackthorn Castle. I spent a day in there in Trammel. I then spent another day in Felucca. I also saw it was a drop for Mining. I spent several days mining in Malas, Trammel, Felucca, Ter Mur this is absolutely stupid. In an entire week I have literally gotten all of 10 of these stupid rocks. Yet I see sites I can buy up to 100 at a time which is also insane. WTF ??????

In my experience the drop rate is good on the golden elementals in Blackthorns Felucca.
About 30 every 1-2 hours, I don't hunt longer than that per session.
The other methods I wouldn't bother with, too slow.
Take a Warrior with slayer, put mining on so you can smelt the ore (Tamer with mining also works). The blackrock is black and hidden in the elementals backpacks, so very easy to miss, keep an eye out. I usually drag 1 of the elementals out, as the constant spawn is too fast for me to loot properly.
I had good luck with the golden elementals in Blackthorns Trammel on Pacific. I would say 1 for every 10 elementals.
The reason I take a Tamer or Warrior over Mage on this one, is Tamer can use pet, and Warrior auto hits/kills elementals, no interaction required to kill the mobs, so character can focus on dragging loot around and smelting. With Mage, you need to kill and deal with loot, you are creating more work for yourself.
Sounds like a lot of work.
Drop resist off your character, throw on mining, keep on collecting and smelting in there, use bag of sending. If you use Warrior or Tamer, the mobs just die, you don't lose any time or key pressing killing them, you just focus on loot, smelt, send. (I don't collect weapons or gear for unravelling there).
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
I've read all the posts. I am at a total loss. I have no idea what is happening or going wrong ,but clearly something is off.
I did use one! Gonna switch to my Archer and look at the result. That would be so stupid ... Let's see!
