I have a bunch of bone armor bulk order deeds and am having trouble getting enough bones for even one of them. Can they be purchased anywhere by npcs or players? Should i just disregard the bone bulk orders?
Treasure chests drop a small supply of bones as well. What needs to happen is a cut up bone armor patch in which using scissors on a bone armor item would grant a return of some of the bones/leather used to craft. Right after combine cloth of course.
Can't cut bone armor up yet. Chris said it's on the list. Best place to farm bone piles (never mind individual bone too slow) is Lord Oaks shadow wisps or are they shadow pixies... They have bone piles in their packs. I'll start Oaks just to farm them. Do not go there with negative karma. If you kill the blue spawn you run the chance of going neutral karma which will prompt them to attack you. Don't cut the bone till you get to the bank, it's heavier stacked versus regular form. Get ten bone per bone pile. Some say just farm a graveyard but if it's volume and fast resource gathering your after it's well worth it.
I do both methods. The graveyard is the more convenient option if you need to go there and spend five to ten minutes to grab some bones to fill a small bulk order. If you've got more than one bulk order deed and you need volume, then your method is better. I won't debate that.
