Larvester is one of the 8 occupations, and one of the 2 taught by the Tryker. Of those two, it is the harder profession, taking you to the Kitins' Lair. It mostly involves harvesting the kitin larva down there and turning them in to be made fit for consumption. The consumables created by this occupation give a bonus to focus regeneration.
Special Item
Karavan Teleporter Pact for Almati Wood
- Teleports you to the Ranger's camp in Almati Wood.
- One-use like all teleporter pacts.
- There are several NPCs in Almati who can teleport you back to the capitals.
You'll receive 1 Teleporter Pact when you take on the larvester occupation, and 2 whenever you retake the mission while you're already a larvester (possible every 2 days).
Created Item
Using 4 Primary Larva and 4 Secondary Larva, you can create a number of, surprisingly, Larva.
Larva can only be used while sitting down, and they increase your will and thus your focus regeneration for a short time.
The most basic form is the Q10 Dried Larva. It takes 1 second to consume, and increases your will by 400 for 10 seconds. This effectively gives you +160 focus regeneration (or +320 focus regeneration if you're sitting down) during those 10 seconds. It prevents the use of any other occupation products for 20 seconds.
Mission 1
Grade 1
Forage Dead Insect Larva in the Kitins' Lair and hand them to Lano Fergoto (at the entrance of the Lair). Once you complete the mission by handing the larva over to Lano Fergoto you'll receive a Primary Larva.
There are four variants of this mission:
- Give 5 Plain Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Lano Fergoto
- Give 10 Plain Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Lano Fergoto
- Give 5 Average Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Lano Fergoto
- Give 10 Average Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Lano Fergoto
You can only hand over the larva that your current mission tells you to, and once you do you'll be randomly given a new mission. You can abandon and retake the mission from Alin Ba'Creusey at any time to get a new random one.
All the Dead Insect Larva required can be foraged from self-popping larva-sources that pop at different locations in the Kitins' Lair. Some can perhaps also be found at locations outside the lair. You don't need to have the mission active while digging them; the mission is only about handing them in. However, since they are mission materials and cannot be traded, you will have to dig them for yourself.
Higher Grades
At higher grades, you'll need larva of higher qualities, but the mission will otherwise work the same. You'll need to go deeper onto the Kitins' Lair to find the higher qualities of larva. But you'll still need the same amounts and the same grades of larva, and you'll still need to hand them over to Lano Fergoto.
- Grade 1: Needs Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30
- Grade 2: Needs Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 60
- Grade 3: Needs Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 90
- Grade 4: Needs Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 120
- Grade 5: Needs Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 150
Mission 2
Grade 1
Forage Dead Insect Larva in the Kitins' Lair and hand them to Ana Ryon (at the entrance of the Lair). In fact, this mission is pretty much identical to mission 1 except the grades of the required larva are different. Once you complete this mission by handing the larva over to Ana Ryon you'll receive a Secondary Larva.
The four variants here are:
- Give 5 Prime Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Ana Ryon
- Give 10 Prime Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Ana Ryon
- Give 5 Select Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Ana Ryon
- Give 10 Select Dead Insect Larva of at least quality 30 to Ana Ryon
You can only hand over the larva that your current mission tells you to, and once you do you'll be randomly given a new mission. You can abandon and retake the mission from Alin Ba'Creusey at any time to get a new random one, but since she's in Fairhaven and Ana Ryon is in the Kitins' Lair, it's not particularly efficient.
All these Dead Insect Larva can also be foraged from self-popping larva-sources that pop at different locations in the Kitins' Lair. And some can perhaps also be found at locations outside the lair. Again you don't need to have the mission active while digging them; the mission is only about handing them in. But since they are mission materials and cannot be traded, you will have to dig them for yourself.
Higher Grades
At higher grades, you'll need larva of higher qualities, but the mission will otherwise work the same. You'll need to go deeper onto the Kitins' Lair to find the higher qualities of larva. But you'll still need the same amounts and the same grades of larva, and you'll still need to hand them over to Ana Ryon.
