At 51 my druid is in Tenebrous and only the labors are dropping block and they are rare to fing . The orefinders and geoduse give good runes but thats it . No sign of runner in 3 hours of farming . good luck
Not sure where to post it correctly, but as it starts with this type of ore I will drop it here.
Since the last patch this, and the 2 other minor types are now stackable ... and not only this ..
They (FINALLY!!!!) have new converting rates!!!
Goes like that: Block - 2 large bricks large brick - 2 small bricks
All in one it means, you now get finally 4 small blocks out of one block!!! What has been normal to any clay till the beginning, now finally comes to acrylia! Now smithing has sense again in this area! (Remember former converting rate: 1 block - 1 large brick - 1 small brick!!!)
rare to say .. but THX Sony. This is one of the few things, which really makes our (ingame-life) easier!!

If you are after smithing ingredients and need a ton (literally) of arcrylia ore; then the place for you are the two grimling mining caves in Tenebrous Mtns. I just solo there and go back and forth from cave to cave. They repop in about the same time it takes me to clear both caves, so its pretty much non-stop farming. One good thing is that not only do they drop all the different sizes of acrylia ore, but they drop windstones about as often as the ore pieces/bricks/blocks. I quickly gathered up two stacks of windstones and got about 40 of the ores at the same time. Be sure to go there with empty bags or have good faction with town one zone over because you will also be getting tonz of those silly useless runes that sell for PP and lots of different Luclin vendor-type gems. Not to mention if you are after words/runes for spell making your bags will be filled up after like two rounds of clearing the caves. I hate having to leave a place once I have established a good farm spot, so I often 2-box another toon there to hold junk. There is no way you can get by without destorying hundreds of thier shiny (finesteel) wpn drops. Since they dont stack your bags will be full before one clearing if you wanted to loot them all. As far as smithing goes, you still need the wind essence to make the temper. I have found that it is a royal pain to try to get them from Tenebrous mtns. So many mobs roam and atk you that drop nothing you need that you spend most of your time clearing useless mobs. Then, when you do kill the ones you want (aliens) the drop rate on essences is very low. The same time I spent on farming ore and windstones when I got 80 of those, I spent also on essence and got 5. So your plan should be to head to Twilight sea to get essences. You can slaughter more and faster there and loot other needed stuff while you are at it.
i fought in hollowshade moor today, killed a lot of grimlings, and all they dropped were crude weapons and etched acrylia runes. there was no ore. is it just a really rare drop or what?
If you need the bricks and keep getting blocks don't worry, you can use a smithing chisel to chisel the blocks down to large bricks and large bricks down to small bricks and small bricks down to pieces. Anyway the more bricks you have on you and the more pieces you have on you and unstacked the better your chances are of getting more bricks and blocks and pieces, try it out it really works. A very nice level 60 SK (woot woot go Shalanaa!) told me about it and it does work! yay so haul those bricks out to your nearest grimling camp and kill! \m/(^o^)\m/
small pieces, small/large bricks, and blocks of acrylia can be found in Dawnshoud (luclin), off of tribal mobs near Greig's End and Maiden's Eye zone lines
