Glob of Ectoplasm

Globs of Ectoplasm (often referred to as Ecto) are very rare crafting materials. To obtain them:


 * 1) You can farm for Globs of Ectoplasm in The Underworld. They occasionally drop from the monsters in that world.
 * 2) You can buy Globs of Ectoplasm from Rare Material Traders.
 * 3) You can find Globs of Ectoplasm from certain monsters (mainly ghosts) in Fissure of Woe on rare occurrences.
 * 4) You can 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.
 * 5) Sometimes, but rarely, the Ravager beast (found in Bloodstone Fen mission in the Maguuma Jungle) will drop a glob of ectoplasm. (unconfirmed)

Globs of Ectoplasm are most commonly needed to forge Fissure Armor. They are also used as payment for some weapons, e.g. Rago's Flame Staff will often sell for above the trade maximum 100 Platinum so buyers will pay 100 Platinum and several Ectoplasm.
