well we just finished a raid in Kael and we got 2 sets of corroded plate boots from the veterans in there and yes they are no drop for the chap who was asking.
The gems for these quests drop off of a variety of monsters. Here are the ones I know of: Wakening Lands - Sentient Armor Cobalt Scar - Wyverns
They are frequently for sale at the vendors of Thurgadin, but they run expensive (100+pp per). I think they are only for sale because people sell them to the vendors though.
You are correct... these, as with all the quest gems, are not part of merchants' regular inventory, though players sell them to the merchants if they get gems they don't need and aren't in the mood to find another player to sell them to. But NPC merchants still sell the gems less that what olayers sell them for, so if you need quest gems, scrounge the merchants, you might get lucky and find the ones you need. Great if you're only short a gem or two to finish a paticular quest and would rather spend money than time finishing it.

I have been in GD quite a bit, and have yet to see a spider. Not saying they don't exist, but I have not run into one.
However, the Labyrinth has TONS of spiders, and I think that is where this drops. I know I looted one of these somewhere, but not sure if that was it...
just for the record, the corroded armor is used for every single plate wearing class, and so are the exact same gems, verant really screwed us plate wearers over this time, cuz we all need the exact same items...so everyone is gonna be farming the hell out of these gems and corroded plate (if possible)
Rangers need corroded Chain boots not plate boots for their quest so just leave it all to us when u find it... i still dont know where they drop though.
A better question might be - How can you farm a random drop? Don't worry yourself about other classes getting your drops. Just go kill stuff and you'll have the same chance as anyone else.
Troopers Veterans Leigionnaires Adjudants all drop Corroded plate chain torn silk and eroded leather. Near protectors of zek behind the arena in Kael Drakkal, 50 - 56th level or thereabouts
