Meshach has found a possible way of cracking the super tough nut known as the panther boss.  He plans to use [url=http://thottbot.com/?i=8147]flash bombs[/url] to fear the panthers and keep them feared.  We have the technology so to speak but we need the mats if you come across them.

Temblor can make them but what he needs for materials per flash bomb is
1 heavy stone (miner alts should find lots of this)

1 silk cloth (lvl 30ish mobs seem to start dropping it for my alt)

1 blue pearl - these are the buggars to get.  In the vile reef, (the coast of gromgol/stv) giant clams drop these 100% of the time.  It's just a lot of swimming to get them all.  So you underwater breathers and druids with swimming form any you could harvest and send to temblor would help us down this boss on a routine basis we think.

At the moment a few have been buying the mats but would love any assistance in gathering them from all of you.

One other note, you get the schematic from the badlands for a quest where you turn in 9 blue pearls.  The quest giver is in the middle of the badlands and you only get the schematic if you are an engineer. (Thanks Baeloc for finding that - you ARE the smartest man alive.)

Rukthukal also has the schematic so if you have mats he'll be making these little treats for FSE too.
