Full clear of Marus Seru stonegrabbers gave me 2 iron oxide.

Ground spawns in Steamfont only gave me moss dragon scales every time.

The Hole doesn't seem to be a viable option because the wards and constructs don't exist for people who are doing this over a decade later for Artisan's Prize.

Dropped by "a stone ward" in The Hole as well, seems to be the best place to farm...respawn on ground spawns takes too long in Steamfont.

In Steamfont Mountains there are six groundspawns of Iron Oxide and six of Russet Oxide, which reappear after roughly a day. If you want to pick them up, this may be a useful addition to your steamfontmts_3.txt:

"Cinderella story, 18th hole at Augusta...he's using about a 5-iron. Oh, what a shot! It's going.. It's in the Hole! It's in the Hole!"
Bill Murray - Caddyshack
I tried stonegrabbers in Marus Seru. Killed about 40 only got 3 iron oxide.
Tried Twilight Sea, cleared the island of all earth and fire elementals. Didn't get ANY.
Went to The Hole, Ruins of Old Paineel and got 9 in half the time.
Kill all the big black giant constructs at the point of no return pit near the zone in, then go into the first castle like building and keep left going down to the smaller steel looking constructs and gargoyles. This is where you get a lot fast. Be sure to look up at every wall and shoot the gargoyles off of them. The Hole is the way to go for these, plus you get alotta runes, pages and Tears of Prexus to make Celestial Temper too. And there's random gems for pocket change.

After spending hours trying for the ground spawns I finally gave up. It got to the point of the same four spawns showing up and the others not respawning. I decided to go to the hole and just clearing the tunnel area got 10. Once you pick up the ground spawns I would ditch that area and head to the hole and just clear the tunnels a couple of times. This should give you more than enough.

Now that I am a bit further into the artisan's prize you might want to consider going to the steppes for these since you will need steppes reptile meat. Farm your meat for later to save you a little time. This is of course if you are trying to get these for the artisan's prize.

I picked up 5 straight cycles of four ground spawns outside the Mino Cave and around the cogs. I got Moss Covered Drake Scales every time, from every ground spawn.
No longer a ground spawn.

It is still a ground spawn, I just found one on a cog near the minotaur caves and added a screenshot.

So after looking around. ALOT. And no useful information here (as usual) pertaining to exactly where the oxide spawns on the ground. I have these Loc's to share.

#1 These three cogs on the ground have spawns on, around, or inside of them. 1488 -1401 2

#2 The 4 pillars outside mino cave. One ground spawn on each side. 1250 -1580 17

Great post. You will find either the iron or russet oxide spawning in these locations.

Can confirm that both Iron Oxide and Russet Oxide are ground spawns around the cogs outside the mino cave... I can also say that both appear as large oval gravel chunks and occur most frequently on the gears/tower themselves. As far as the respawn time, I do not know, as within a 10 minute period I had 6+ of each which was all I needed for safe creation of monk epic parts. Happy Hunting!

Lavastorm is probably one of the worst spots tioo.
It seems to be much more common in the Hole.
Not that it's more common, but that it drops off so many mobs in the zone.

We see it dropping like candy from elementals & constructs in The Hole, so if you're looking for it, that's a good place to find it =)
Rare in DSP?
# Feb 20 2004 at 10:00 PM Rating: Decent
Hunted stonegrabbers in DSP for about 3 hours and went about 0/25. I guess I'll try Marus Seru next.
Looted in Marus Seru

641 posts
A Stonegrabber in Marus Seru - 4
A Weathered Stonegrabber in Marus Seru - 1.
In about 2 hours of hunting.
I'm getting kind of lucky at "guessing" which stonies have the loot, but it's pure luck, it can drop from any type of stonegrabber of any level in Marus Seru. All of the mobs in the zone seem to wander quite far, I've followed a stonie from near the Netherbian Lair zone-in almost to the southwest corner where the Recuso Smugglers are, so I wouldn't expect a camp spot or a spawn point to find them at.
Currently selling for 60 - 75pp on Stromm if you can believe it. Too bad the Charcoal and Russet Oxide don't sell for the same.... I'd be twinked beyond belief!
P.S. Like Ragik said a looooong tiem ago Iron Oxide = Rust!!!
