Next, you can obtain scalecloth from wirefiber plants. It is a legendary material, so you will likely need to harvest numerous plants before you get any. Lastly, you can obtain a fire crystal core from level 45+ enemies. It is a legendary item, so it will likely take dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of kills to get it if you are very unlucky. However, you can also purchase this and the rest of the resources on this list on the trading post if available.
