“Gathered from coral.
— In-game description
Vial of Manganese Dioxide is a crafting material used in The Bifrost III: The Legend collection.
Acquisition[edit]
- Gathered from coral, while the player has the Bifrost III: The Legend collection unlocked.
- It is recommended to use a Harvesting Sickle of Bounty or a tool equipped with a Glyph of Bounty to increase the amount of resources gathered by at least 33%. Glyph of Overload may also be of use, but keep in mind that the Overload (gathering) skill cannot be activated while in water.
- Since a Vial of Manganese Dioxide is only a rare drop from Coral, it may take a while to gather the required amount for the collection.
- The vial is a rare drop from core Tyria maps, however, research suggests it either has an incredibly low drop rate from Path of Fire maps, or can't be found on those maps at all.
- It is confirmed to drop from Living World Season 3 maps, Icebrood Saga maps and End of Dragons map.
- The list below indicates some farming spots across all core Tyria, Living World Season 3, and Icebrood Saga maps.
- A few coral nodes are found very deep on the ocean floor. They don't appear on minimap unless you are deep enough.
