I'm not sure if this means anything, but I spent hours and hours foraging in RM and each time I either dropped the items or destroyed them. I never foraged anything other than water flasks and roots. I decided to start putting the foraged items in my inventory and started getting items I hadn't gotten before, like eggs and berries. After about an hour, I got the hair.

I landed form PoK using Gukta book and hit forage as I was turning to leave the area and foraged it right up. I get the feeling I was extremely lucky.

Random or not, after cruising other areas of the
Rathe Mtns for an hour looking for this (Forage: 193+50 from AA),
I decided to try the 300/1600 loc (old HG fort? Mosquito Hill?).
I drew a line from 300 w to 300 e and foraged along it. Around 301/1601,
2nd forage around that point got the Sickly Maiden's Hair.
BTW, I think some Forage is Random AS WELL as around fixed locations like ground spawn.
Several foraging items occur both ways, if I recall correctly. Only SoE knows for sure.

I say you have a much better chance of finding it at the old HG hill. I got it on the 2nd forage attempt at 91 forage skill. So if your looking for this go around +300, +1600.

Your and other anecdotal evidence is not convincing. With the rarity of this item being foraged, I would suspect, you would need to forage in the same spot at least 10,000 times, then do another spot another 10,000 times and do a statistical comparison to see if there is a significant difference. And to be really convincing, you should do this in many locations.

I foraged this at the NEW Hill Giant hill after less than an hour, so you certainly don't have to be at the old hill to get it. I strongly suspect that, like all other forages I'm aware of, this one can be found anywhere in the zone, and the chance of finding it in any one place is purely random; in fact, there's nothing you can do to affect what you get from any one forage attempt (other than to pray, maybe).

Might have gotten lucky but i was completely lost trying to find that old giant hill and foraged this on 2nd attempt after i zoned in Rathe. it indeed does not seem linked to the loc you are at in the zone

After a full night of foraging unsuccessfully, I decided to look it up. Boy am I glad I did. After running to 300,1600 I got it on the 3rd forage there. Thanks to all that have posted this info.

So yes, +300,+1600 works. Don't ask, just do it lol :D

It doesn't matter where in zone you are, this is a zonewide forage and seems to be rare as hell. I've been at the hot spot aka mosquito hill that everyone is raving about for over 2 hours and no hair yet. Nothing worst than being forced to forage....fking lame

After coming here for a few days running around randomly and maybe 5 hours total I finally broke down found this thread. I went to +300, +1600 and after about 20 minutes I was able to forage it. From the Feerott zoneline just run west and go southwest at the fork. The area is up on the hill with the mosquitos.

I'm pretty sure this forage is random... spent ~2 hours at the new HG hill, ~1 hour at the old hill, and about 30 mins at the other loc posted on here(-231-287 i think?) and now I'm at the lake rathe zone trying to get it... I've yet to forage it. Forage is at 153 with 1 aa in Nature's Bounty.

Okay, since it didn't seem to matter where I was I went back to where to HG's are now to farm a little, and was there for about 30 mins and decided I was gonna try and go get the Pine Sap, and the last forage before I left I got the hair... some random loc on top of the HG's hill.

I think it doesn't matter where you forage the hair. First I sat about 2 hours near the zoneline to Feerot. Then I went to the hill, where the hillgiants used to spawn (330, 1670) for another 2 hours. Finally I tried to forage it close to the zo to Lake Rathetear, and it's there, where I found it.

I've been foraging at this loc (Nidachi's loc) for about an hour and a half and have a full bag of food and water + some grubs to show for it. I'm 100% sure I'm at the loc and I have yet to show any success for it. I continue to stay out of superstition however. Just a forwarning for further druids.

Thank for the informative post, I have been in Rathe Mountains for 2 days, about 8-9 hours total, with no luck. I made about 3kpp running around foraging and killing HG's. Also tried foraging at the zoneline to The Feerrott and Lake Rathetear.
I tried foraging before talking to Athele with no joy. I went and talked to her, then went right to the location listed above ( +330, +1672 ) and foraged about 10 times and got it. I was also right after killing the Corrupted as well. I have 200 forage and am a 67 ranger. Hope this makes this very boring and time consuming part of the epic a little easier.

the item is part of the druid epic 1.5, quote from these boards..

Althele says 'I am certain that you would sense it too, had you been so blessed as to be without sight. My sense of the life of Norrath is greatly heightened without the hindrance of vision. As I can sense that you have at your call the power of the lands, perhaps in the form of the Nature Walkers Scimitar. I can feel an unnatural illness creeping about the edges of Norrath. Please, if you come across anything suspicious bring it to me. I am worried about this cold sickness that I can almost taste. Go with the blessing of the Mother and the speed of the Storm, my child.'


Head to Rathe Mountains and forage until you get "Sickly Maiden's Hair". Return to Althele with it.

There is an item foraged in oen of the OoW zones with the same name except diseased is added in. Very likely to be part of epic... possible start for 2.0 with 1.5 completed or even the start of 1.5 without 1.0 epic being finished.
