Most disciplines tend to make heavy use of items dropped from various creature types, especially once you begin making higher quality items. These items fall under the Fine Crafting Materials collection stored in your bank, and will be the focus of this guide. Dropped gems, rare materials, and food types will be handled in separate guides.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">In this guide we've compiled information on each of type of fine crafting material, which disciplines use them, and the creature types that most commonly drop them. Hopefully this will help you the next time you're running short on vials of blood by knowing what creatures drop them, and help save you a bit of coin so that you don't find it necessary to purchase them from the trading post. Likewise, if you notice a specific type or tier of fine crafting material is selling at a particularly good price point, it can be handy to know where to find more to sell to other players.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Bats and trolls both tend to be the most reliable sources for vials of blood for each tier, and both creature types tend to hang out in caves. An alternative would be to hunt skale which are commonly found along rivers or the shorelines of larger bodies of water. Since skale can also drop scales, they may be a better option depending on which type of crafting materials you're looking to stock up on.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Bones tend to be some of the most easily obtained fine crafting materials outside of maybe dusts, at least in my experience. That's largely due to the multitude of creature types that drop them, though each type may only be found in specific regions. At higher levels you'll be fighting a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit;">lot[/i] of Risen (the undead residents of Orr under Zhaitan's control) so large and ancient bones tend to be very easy to come by.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Drakes, harpies, and raptors will be your best source for claws depending on which region you're in, with Flame Legion tending to be an excellent source for Large Claws at higher levels in the area around the Citadel of Flame dungeon. Drakes in particular tend to populate most maps, and will be found along rivers or other bodies of water. Drakes can also drop scales, so tend to be one of your better options.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Grubs can be a great source for fangs, and will be found in various caves on many of the maps. They're also a source of venom sacs so can be well worth the time to seek them out even though you may need to work a little harder to reach them. An alternative would be skelk which are found in more swamp-like environments, but just like grubs they can drop both fangs and venom sacs making them worth seeking out.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">You'll be spending plenty of quality time in or around water if you plan on collecting many scales. The good news is that most creature types found in those environments tend to drop scales somewhat commonly, so you have a bit more flexibility in terms of which creatures you decide to focus on. Skritt are a bit of an anomaly here in that they're more of a subterranean creature rather than amphibious or aquatic. You'll also run into them far less frequently than the other creature types listed.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Tailors or anyone looking to gather plenty of cloth salvage items will already be focusing on many the creatures that drop totems. Since each type listed will have an influence in different regions or maps in the game, availability will be dependent upon where you are leveling at the time. As a general rule, bandits will be found in maps with a heavier human and sylvari influence, inquest in asuran areas, and Sons of Svanir can be found throughout the Shiverpeaks.

<p style="margin: 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: #555564; text-align: justify;">Many of the creatures that drop venom sacs will also drop other fine crafting materials, so you can often maximize your time by gathering two types within the same area on a map. For example, trolls (commonly found in caves) can drop venom sacs, bones, and vials of blood, so can be a great option. Grubs (also mostly found in caves) can be another solid source for venom sacs and can also drop fangs.
