Witcher 2: You *NEED* one of these for the Meletele's Heart quest. Don't let the game accidentally chew it up to make a trap or a potion. (Stick one in storage)

Should be noted that this ingredient category (fulgur) is required for most of the vigor/sign potions: Tawny Owl, Stammalford's Philter, and Lapwing.

If your playstyle is mage-like or otherwise depndens on vigor, spend some time farming the embryos off ch 1 Endrega mobs (I've seen them drop off every type of Entegra in the game, not just workers) BEFORE you destroy even one of the coocoons. There is a *marked* drop in the spawn rate of these mobs once you start destroying any of the cocoons or nests, whether or not you have the quest for nest destruction. Wacking a couple of the nests a bit to bring mobs to their defense works, but leave the nests alive till you're satisfied with your collection.

The wraiths you face in ch 1 do not respawn, so your collection of essence of death is pretty finite. You *need* the Queen's pharamones for a quest later. The Karyan parts apply to other things you may or may not need, the arachas eyes are also for the Melete's heart quest (and/or they are a very expensive alchemy purchase from the elf in the forest). In short, fulgur is probably the rarest alchemy category in the game, with *no* plant source (except Osmurk, which is *also* quest-specific and single-use/no respawn). If you need fulgur, farm these and the wraiths in ch 2 like nobody's business and just *buy* Conflagration traps (their other use, takes 2 just to make a single trap) from the elf as needed.
