Through some previous farming runs on these, we have started to notice a trend. Either, moonphase or day is a factor in the drop of this EX item. The pephredo's have an INSANE drop rate....when the time is right. And even the ones in crawlers nest. If anyone is interested i can get back to you the data i acquire.
actually i found it really easy to get 10 of these. from the Rolanberry crawlers pops. its always 100% drop. it just take a bit to get to Awd Goggie but its worth it. it goes Guardian Crawler > Drone Crawler > Queen Crawler > Awd Goggie
20 stacks of rolanberrys turned into 7 stacks of 881s 7 stacks of 881s turned into 3 stacks of 874s 3 stacks of 874s turned into 9 864s 9 864s turned into 6 awd pops.
6 royal jellies for 5 hours. Stick to farming the bees. Even with thf1 its about 4/hour.
As THF41 today while waiting for a party i decided to farm for these in CN. Every wasp checks as DC-T, which wouldn't be much of a problem if they weren't so close together. Anyways, i killed 3 and got one royal jelly and got .1 skillup from it! Good luck to those farming this.
Thier is a taru taru in lower jeuno just outside brd shop. forget his name atm... If you trade a piece of gyhsal greens to him he will remove any food effect.
I have tried this many times works great when u have 1hr + food in you
As a side note i got this from the notorious monster death from above today ( hornet needle /cheer )not that you would use this as a farming teqhnique as bee larvae ia a horrid drop and death from above can be nasty...... but that yall should know lol
To answer questions I've seen in the forum; yes this item is only EX; I'm 99.9 Cooking atm, when I farmed them I went with a group of friends and I just lotted as they dropped.
Yes it can be farmed in Rolanberry Fields, but the drop rate is horrendous. It doesn't matter really where you farm it, it drops of Death Jacket's wherever you find them. But Crawlers Nest tends to have the best drop rate.
Unfortunately Full Moon ended with me still at 99.9 so the final step is going to take a while ; ; /em goes back to farming more Royal Jelly

I agree, the Rolanberry Fields drop rate is horrendous. I tried to farm for one of these things, and being a WHM with underleveled club skill, I wanted the lowest level mob I could to get it. I killed bees there for hours (got 4 stacks of beehive chips if that shows you anything) and no drop. I'm giving up and trying the CN bee's, even though they'll take significantly longer to kill.
Just dropped 6 while soloing in CN. I don't need them and won't be crafting anything with them, so off they went. But yeah, in under 2 hours got 6 as Drg/Whm nontheless lvl 53
I used this item on myself and it's been on for TWO HOURS! There's no antacids for sale on the AH, changing jobs doesn't remove it - anyone know what else I can do to get this off or how long it lasts? Help me get rid of this my THF needs to use mithkabobs to do any damage!
lol, to remove a food status, and you have the ability to get to jeuno... buy a gyehsel green(sp)... Then in front of the Merry Minstral is a taru... Trade the green to them, they will remove your food condition... Or drop the 20k for an antacid... 60gil... 20k gil... death... Only ways to get rid of food status.
Well, I know you don't need this help any more, but a really easy way to remove the food is change to a level 1 job and die. That'll take the food off, and you won't lose any exp on your higher level job.
Myself (46 rdm/thf) and a friend (47 drk/thf) killed 3 wasps in Crawler's Nest entrance and got 2 jellies. I thought this would take forever but it was over in 10 minutes tops. The 2 wasps that checked decent to us each droped one, the easy wasp didn't.
Two of my LS members went farming for these. One of them is a high level cook. He was trying to skill up from 99.1 to 100. He was making cursed soup. You can have more than 1 of these in your inventory.
We were training all the Death Jackets in the two tunnels and killing them all with -ga spells.
The drop rate isn't great, but we didn't have a main THF; we only had a THF sub. I would say that in the 2+ hours we farmed, we killed maybe 40-50 of them; and only got about 5 Royal Jelly's.
You will get drop if you kill Awd Goddie; but spawning Awd Goddie is a long process.
How rare is the drop for Royal Jelly? Say you wanted to make a dozen Elixirs and you started hunting for royal jelly, how much time would one spend getting this jelly?
Hmmm, are you positive of this. I greatly enjoy cooking and for anyone attempting to reach lvl 100, you will need to come to CN and farm Royal Jelly. However, from what the high-lvl Chefs have posted in the tradeskill forum, you can carry only one of these items at a time, thus you are forced to synth on the spot, then farm another jelly, then another synth, etc. If you have actually obtained more than one royal jelly at once, then there's no debate, but from what Ive heard on the tradeskill forum, these should be rare.
