Since the commons changes I've not been able to forage Plains Roots. I had to foragers there for about 8 hours and neither of us ever foraged any. I was in NK shortly before and I killed around 15 - 20 of the beetles and got 1 to drop. So it looks like farming endless beetles in NK is the only way to get these now.
was for 1 h in NK killing evry beetle on track an foraging at skill 128 - neither a drop nor a forage of plains root. SOE ist totally nuts - first they make theses rotts part of a recipe in cultural tailoring for a humans and second its a rare drop/forage where as you need stack quantities for skilling tailoring purposes. ;-(((
I'm not saying that they don't drop from the beetles, but I wouldn't go killing them to get these if you need plains roots. I have killed hundreds of all of the NK beetles on several toons and not once have I ever seen this drop from them.
The only reliable way to get plains roots is to plant a forager in WC and spend hours foraging them. My druid has a 191 forage currently and I have gotten 4 in an hour.
