Where to farm ancient rathound ?

[sheap]

I just finished TInstitute quest and i am looking for a 160 ancient rathound leather.

I grabbed the one from arena, had around 130 with reloading and was hoping to do the same with the ratking but each time I reload from the previous zone the quality of ancient rathound leather from ratking stays at 107 :/ anyway to farm those without going to DC ?

From what I've seen, crafting quality is rolled when the enemy spawns - this means, that when spawning timer hits zero (no sure how long, some say around in-game 50 minutes?), enemy/enemies spawn, and they might/might not drop (depending on your luck).

Fun times trying to get high roll Psi Beetle Carapace for cave wizurd, as I keep forgetting to mark all spawn locations to map for spawning Azuridae Goliathus.

AFAIK you can't farm Ancient Rathounds. There are only a few of them, unless you're willing to turn the Faceless hostile (and it is not worth it for that, not at all).

You're going to want to infuse it anyway, so the 30 points you sit under the quality cap won't have much effect, really.

Farm the Goliath Azuridae in the caves north of the Rail Crossing station. Go north from the rail station into the caves and keep heading north - you'll fight two groups of beetles. When you can't no north any more, go two or three screens east and you'll fight some crawlers and another set of beetles. Unless the new patch has changed it, all those groups respawn.

If by "pretty much everythere" you mean in four places, then sure. There's one in a secret area in a building not far from Rail Crossing; there's one with a pack of Rathound Alphas in the rockfall map north of the abandoned Omega Station outpost north of GMS; there's one with a pack of Rathound Alphas in the map with the "How To Tame Rathounds" oddity. There's one in the Arena. The Rathound King has one by his side, and one in his maze. And, if you align with the right Oligarch, there's a unique Ancient Rathound. None of them respawn.

That's it, I think.
