Is the Manticore the only way to get manticore whiskers?

I've been searching the threads for well over an hour but haven't found an answer that I like. Lol. My eyes are starting to cross so I'm checking here to see if anything has changed with this that I haven't been able to find. ( If not, then Maybe TL would consider adding this as an option for requesting from neighbours or adding it as a 'once in a while' drop from something??? :D )

I was getting them every drop from the manticore until I got to the quest where I needed them. Now I've used most of what I had stored and pretty much every drop is now fur pelts with a whisker every once in a great while. I remembered too late that someone had said never to let your storage get below 20 for any given item or the drop rate decreases dramatically. <slaps forehead> So am now working on getting it back up to 20 before I can continue with the quests in this goal....and hoping there is another way to speed the process up.

In Short:

manticore whiskers comes from manticore only

Drop rate does not change in regards to your inventory stock.

I have 6 manticores, but rarely pet them. I am full of all I need (craft all I can with it), except pelts that drop per truck load from all the other sources.

Strangely I'm maxed on whiskers and had enough to do the relevant task when it came along, I'm now tapping Manti in the hope he drops Mysterious Venom. It'll probably seem like he'll drop more once you don't need it but I'm sure it's all in the head, like monsters attacking every 5 minutes for 2 days then 2 days you don't see any of them just when you have a task to beat a few up. Just keep collecting 3 times a day and you'll get there. I'm sure I progress slower than others but manage to be enough stocked when the relevant task comes along, for example, I've stopped Glimmergate quest to get my dragon, so I have the scales when I need the so I'm not frustrated at not progressing.

Ok, thanks to both of you.

I had enough whiskers to go quite a ways but now am halted at upgrading the garden maze (I have 4 of the 5 needed mythic essences so I need 10 whiskers to make one more) and once I do that, I'll need 30 more whiskers to make the 3 essences needed for the blythwood sapling. I hope that's it for a little while. I didn't even know the manticore dropped pelts until the last few days. I always got whiskers from it. Oh well. You're right, I'll get there eventually. I'm not really that impatient but I thought I would check to see if there were ways of getting more that I didn't know about. :)

Oh, so the inventory stock info received before wasn't accurate. That's good to know. I'll be using the whiskers as they come in then instead of trying to build up to 20 for a base line. Ya, I just have the one manticore so it's taking me a bit longer. :)

Thanks again for the help. :)

Oh goodie, a future use for whiskers. I haven't got the maze yet. Yippee!

Lol. Yes....stock up on those whiskers. :) or if you have access to brewing mythic essence, stocking up on a few of those would help you. I was maxed out on whiskers before I started with that goal. Lol

No access to mythic essence yet, but as with the magic cement I will start making as soon as is possible. I hate seeing the maxed out box. So will relish collecting from Manti without it :)

Good plan. :)

I know what you mean. Especially when you come to a quest when you could really use all the extras that went by the wayside while being maxed. I'm going...noooooooo, come back lol Good luck when you reach that goal. Enjoy!

Mystic Essence is a good way to get ride of the all those whiskers, but I am maxed out on mysric essence as well. My manticore are only good to drop furs right now.

Yes, mystic essence made short work of my store of manticore whiskers. Lol. It will be a while before I reach the maxed out stage you're at but I'm plugging away. I'll trade you some of those whiskers for some fur pelts. :) Hey, maybe our kingdoms need to have a village corner store or an outdoor air market where we can trade or sell with our neighbours. It might make the goals and quests go by too quickly though if supplies are easier to access by getting them from the neighbours. It would probably be a nightmare to program too.....but it's a thought. :). Don't mind me....I'm just jabbering away here. Lol

Holy cow! Filled to the max everywhere you turn. You really do need that buy and trade market. Lol. You could make a fortune although you're probably a multi millionaire too. Too bad it wasn't real money, huh? Lol.

There isn't a whole lot left for you to do, is there. You must be happier than most when these new tournaments come along.

Not all long time players. I've been playing a long time don't know exactly how long I played before I joined the forum but my inventory is no where near that! I played last years holidays and I have the love shack. I must be a slacker ! Lol

Lol Dragon. You and me both. But I'm not up to level 50 (on level 42) yet either and I don't use gems to speed things along. I don't know if either of those things makes a difference or not. I don't want to hurry the game along too much. It's my favourite game and I want it to last for a while. That's my reasoning, anyway. :)

Mine isn't full either, a few things like all the types of blocks and lower glues and dyes. I work a lot so I don't get to use all available energy. I'm level 50 also not fully expanded yet due to expansions tickets .
