Terrible grinding in my case. I'm rather new to this game and that was first time I saw such a poor drop rate. Maybe I was unlucky?

However, fact is that average, I got 1 mane every 10 to 11 kills, and after the 9th mane, I stopped getting any! Like there would be a cap, or like the weather would have an influence (because there was a change of weather just after I got the 9th one).

Never again if I can avoid it.

Altogether, I have 36 in 35 minutes, so roughly 1 a minute...? Not too bad, personally.

At first the drops did not seem that bad, I got around 9 on the first two rotations. Third, fourth and fifth rotation gave me 3 in total. There is a very small number of them and it can get tedious farming them.

drop rates either have changed as of September 2023 or my rng is off the charts, as one rotation of chimeras gave me 9 chimera manes. good luck to everyone on the grind!

will drop you in a bloodyish looking pool where you can see the total of all 6 of them that spawn, they will normally drop between 2-3 at a time but as stated multiple times the drop rate is low...maybe 1 in 6-7 kills

The respawn timer is a little over 2 min so yeah its a grind, they really need to add a gatherer type thing for hunting even if its just a set of gear or something with added drop chance and amounts

Correct coords are Azys Lla 32, 7.

I'm more than familiar with grinding mob drops. I'm one of those mad people who prefer hunting mobs to grinding bicolor gemstones. It just scratches my brain.
However.
This mob drop in particular is my least favourite. They're spread out quite far so you need to mount up between them, which doesn't seem that bad at first but it's just that extra bit of clicking/button pressing that wears on you on your 30th rotation. And there aren't that many Allagan Chimeras, just, in general. If they respawned faster, and dropped their mat more often? EZ. They have about the same rate as most low-rate mob drops. But it's the long respawn time and distance that just make these insufferable.
Unless you need less than ~15, just buy 'em off the mb.

This has been, by far, the most frustrating and boring collecting activity I've had as I've been leveling crafters. It took about an hour to collect the 15 manes needed for the Chivalric Doublet of Healing. 6 mobs total, normal respawn, crap drop rate.
