Glob of Ectoplasm

Globs of Ectoplasm (often referred to as Ecto) are very rare crafting materials. Globs of Ectoplasm are most commonly needed to forge Fissure Armor. They are also used as payment in transactions that are above the trade maximum of 100 Platinum. The buyers sometimes complete the price in Ectos.

To obtain them:
 * 1) Farm for Globs of Ectoplasm in The Underworld. They occasionally drop from the monsters in that world.
 * 2) Buy Globs of Ectoplasm from Rare Material Traders.
 * 3) Buy them from other players or trade for them. The best location to find people offering to sell the Globs is the Temple of the Ages. The best places after that are the cities, especially Droknar's Forge and Lion's Arch as they are the ones most frequented by ascended players.
 * 4) There are unconfirmed accounts of Globs of Ectoplasm falling from ghost-type creatures in other explorable areas, most notably, the Banshees of the Fissure of Woe and the Ravagers of Bloodstone Fen.
