Seems like this is a long ago issue that is still around today. What is the answer? Can you only get finger bones by heading to the Grimling Forest zone now? I'll have to wait till I level much higher to be able to handle a whole camp of Grimlings for a darn finger bone drop.
Is there somewhere in Hollowshade Moor that I can find Grimmlings regardless of who is winning the war? The Owlbears and Sonic Wolves are always everywhere I go, how am I supposed to get the finger bones if I can't find Grimmlings?!
I can confirm that they drop off the herders. I was fortunate enough to get a set off my first herder kill, but haven't seen one since, I'm assuming they are a fairly rare drop.
Oh well off to kill more hoppers and raise my tailoring.
The rags are for the Beastlord part of the epic weapon quest. If you spot one you don't need just give a shout out and someone's sure to come running for it.
I'm not sure the levels listed are right. As a 22 Monk the three I've come across have been dark blue and light blue so I think the lower level is 20 or 21.
