I've just reached lv 120. and followed some guide so I'm done with the quests and am trying to get the HTPQ pre quest done. The only problem is I can't seem to get Manon's cry. (sigh) Is this THE ONLY way to get Life roots?
I remembered that the drop rate was set extremely low, those killing for me (they also had the quest to get into horntail's cave active) couldn't find it either. I ended up having to call a GM over to have Manon's cry spawned in. This was like 2-3 weeks ago though, not sure if they're still doing this. Worth a try!
uhm i kill manons regularly lol. sometimes two drop from one, but usually at least one drops. if you still need help with htpq you can msg me in game: Himeragi I have all the items ready to go
