Have been grinding in Icefall Glacier, since its a lvl 70 HZ right now, and have had a few of these drop off the Mammoths (Large, Wooly, Adult) - straight out from the zone in. Not often, mind you, but they do drop off them. Hope that helps.

A rather odd non-DoN spot if you ask me. Must have been picked up by a roamer.

Got one off a Dirtdigger Assassin in Broodlands today. And yes the prices in bazaar have reached the level of SILLY! Last night 341 Scale ore from one trader offered for 5k !!! each! OY!
Prices of 1-2K for this piece is ridiculous! The prismatic palladium bar once enchanted into a palladium bar, then combined with a mold to craft a piece of jewelry (example a palladium trio pendant) sells in the bazaar for only about 700-1000p. Why would you pay 1-2k for scale ore when you can't sell the jewelry it makes for more than 1k for each piece?
46 kills of Magman drakelings, shatterers, stone dervishes, and the basilisks at the Fire Stones and all I got was 1 sapphire, 1 ruby, 1 nest drake meat, and 3 of those symbols/coin that give you a quest but no scale ore.
As for foraging them. 2 scale ores in 4 hours for me with 200 skill and the foraging Machete.
And to top it off with Jewelry skill of 198 and a triv of 26 I FAILED 3 combines in a row.
Its bullsh*t like this that keeps new players away!
Is it still called Scale or, or did they change the name or recipe, cause on /buyer i dont see it listed at all and i never see it in bazaar anymore...
Yeah, it is still called this. But the new JC items and drive for the levelling of skills has increased supply and demand. So peeps selling it for crazy prices, but cannot blame them if someone is paying, LOL.
Also dropped of a magma scatterer in The Broodlands
edit: I found an easy camp in the Broodlands. After you zone in head west to the other side. there are 4 or 5 pillars and the Magma drakes fly around there. After you kill them wait for repops. A few dervishes come through the general area too.
It's busy place though with lots of creatures wandering in, so be prepared for adds, usually the Baslisks but some of the Goblin creatures too.
after clearing a few times, I did have 2 names pop of the Firefag,Flamfist,FireClaw type, I can't remember which 2 exactly. I had wandered off after clearing the area and they were there wheN I came back. They were no problem to my 72 Druid and his DC pet but I'm surprised seeing now that they're level 50.
It probably took an hour to get 4 drops of scale ore, and I think one was a forage.

The expert Jewelry Test Quest has been changed and now required 4 Items that require Prismatic Palladium Bar. The Prismatic Palladium bar requires the scale ore to make.
The trival for the Pristine Palladium Bar is 26. Also anything you make with the Palladium runs at the venders 9s 5c anyways even using the best gem you can find or just selling the bar.
I'm currently sitting in Lavaspinner's, foraging my little heart out. I've been here over six hours. I have 22 different items foraged (How the HELL can I get water, pineapples and moss in a bare cave of lava??) and not one scale ore. 'Ticked off' doesn't even BEGIN to cover it.
The jewelcrafted items made from this has NO tribute value at all FYI, so don't bother making a stack to hand in for tribute. Also this scale ore is going for obscene prices on my server atm (Quellious). I try to buy for less than 1k each but they are usually for sale between 1 to 5k each. I think thats just bizarre AND obscene for a foragable/dropped item such as this. I sent out a tell to buy this and had a reply back from someone who had 4 stacks (80) and tried to sell them to me for 4k each...needless to say after rolling on the floor gasping and nearly choking myself to death with laughter I promptly told him to get a life and go away until he had a realistic price, I wasn't about to pay 320k for it, hell, I offered him 40k which I thought was a fair price. We parted our ways on rather unfriendly terms, needless to say :)

Rare foraged ? After 2 hours none stop of foraging i got 2 !
P.S. A friend of mine have use a forage machine (1 forage per 1min & 45 sec). After a few hours (over than 14 stack or sh*t foraged) he have foraged only 4 Scale Ore ! lol this website centoring me (sh*t) ;)
