Thanks!
If they are quest items, I'd imagine if you consumed it accidentally, you'd be screwed. So it kills you so you aren't screwed.
Believe me, I don't speak a wink of German. Google does though. And I have two friends who are fluent in German. So I have a failsafe if google translate fails me, which it did when I was translating some of the "posters".
To get to the bottom of the double claws, they have the same name, but use a different 3d model. One uses "ogre teeth" and the other uses "clanfear claws".
I'll try to figure out what monsters they come from in Nehrim.
Ok, the first one called "JagdKrallen" is used by:
Brown Bear
Black Bear
Young Boar
Kobold
Tame Forest Pig
Young Brown Bear
It is also used in several scripts. Wolves can drop these claws too, depending on how they were killed
The second called "Klauen" is only used by certain containers. Here is the location of one of them:
Nehrim
The container has the rainbow-like outline
As you can see, it's completely inaccessible. A fine example of the "garbage" left in the game.
Unless, there is some event that changes it's location, and it was only put there to be inaccessible initially.
As far as the Ginseng, there is the regular ginseng, then there is the ginseng called "Grasstngel"
The plant that this ingredient is harvested from is called, as far as I can tell, "Dry Schlingsträucher"
Yup, I just confirmed it. There is a plant called "Dry Schlingsträucher" that is the only source of the other type of Ginseng. There is some by "Svens Secret Dance Club" on the world map. It seems stupid to me that you can harvest anything from it.
