I'm curious if there are other players having problems with getting drops on these jobs. It took me until 86% emerald Mastery on the investigation in Palace of Crimson Shadows to Get enough Clues to get enough Ambushes to master this job. I'm currently closing in on jade mastery in the Mountains, and I have only collected 5 Ambush? For those wondering why a Spider / bloodspeaker would be doing these jobs: If the bloodspeakers are leaving tracks, they are being careless / reckless, and need to be removed  I'm wondering if maybe the drop rate on these items is intentionally lower for Spiders at this point. as I'm having a REALLY hard time getting first level mastery on the ambush. |

It took me forever to get 10 ambushes at Palace of Crimson Shadows, I'm not surprised to hear that it's similar elsewhere.

I don't think droprates vary for clans. Also yeah - clue droprate was damn low.

I was just very surprised that I ended up near Emerald Mastery before I had the requisite pieces to finish off a job chain. I think it is the first time that I have run that lean on drops for a series like this.

Drop rates for higher-level questing appears to require this now. I got several emeralds trying to kill the general (may not have been needed if I didn't have that Kaneka Enemy).

I'm also a little annoyed about the fact that they disappear when you don't have the necessary items. I understand this, and it is OK, but I can't for the life of me remember which of the three journals I am missing. I guess I'll just farm clues & ambushes until I figure it out.

...Easy enough to figure out. 2 journals drop in the mountains north of dragon lands and 2 journals drop at the palace of crimson shadows. All four are mastery drops.

Just to be clear, three of the journals drop at fixed locations. I understand one other drops as part of a new random encounter.
