Incomplete drop rate data
Out of eight trials, defeating a Salving Cactus earned the following loot:

Skull Shield

Forked Sword

Spiny Seed

Silver Dye

Spiny Seed

Spiny Seed

Spiny Seed

Spiny Seed

This would seem to indicate that Spiny Seeds have a relatively high drop rate. The difficulty in testing is that Salving Cacti are hard to find anywhere except for around Heroes' Audience, an area full of Shock-Aftershock using Sand Elementals.

Re-burrow?
I saw the oddest thing the other day. On the radar, there was a red dot - approaching, I saw it to be a Salving Cactus. This alone is odd, because Sprouts, Devourers, and Scarabs are often buried underground. So, I approached it. Then - this is the odd part - it buried itself. It just, disappeared. Went off the radar, lost targetting, and it just seemed like it hopped back underground. Of course, it reappeared a minute later when I walked by again, but - I thought monsters couldn't go back underground when they have already been to the surface! Perhaps it is a bug?

 * Wurms go underground after they've popped up. <>Spark 11:41, 28 January 2007 (CST)
 * They've always done that &mdash; Skuld 11:47, 28 January 2007 (CST)
 * Wurms are special though. They've always done that? Ok, nevermind then... Entropy 11:53, 28 January 2007 (CST)

Okay, this happened to me when I was vanquishing. Except that they stayed underground and didn't coem back. I went AFK for about 2 hours to see if I'd receive credit for +1 kill. Nope. Nothing. So I backed off and waited at least 5 minutes, just staring at the screen for the magical red dot. Nothing. Someone cry to ANet for me about this, please... this was in Prophet's Path. Copeland

needed?
why is there a note for farmers i dont seem that these creatures will be likely to become farmed seen as there only a few, second some tend to reburrow thereselves and third its hard to reach them.
