I don’t know how you all go about farming peat, but I’ve seen a few posts recently where others have stumbled across large holes in the ground that look like someone’s been gathering peat (I’m guilty of leaving giant holes, too!). Recently I started swimming to the bottom of lakes though, and digging my way beneath the water, then sealing myself in with gravel or sand etc. I get absolutely masses of peaty soil this way so thought I’d share my tactics for those who don’t already know to do this.

yep there’s a lot of peaty at the bottom of lakes and such, you can also save a lot of time by going straight for the compact peat though too. You can actually find it under the gleam tree prefabs on Munteen, Nasharil and I think elopor (probably all the planets you can find gleam except vulpto. there’s definitely no compact peat or prefabs on vulpto.)

Hmm. I might get claustrophobic but it’s worth a try.
there are trees on Munteen that have peat instead of leaves - thats another option
however, as @ctrl-64 mentioned, going for compact peat in altar prefabs is probably the fastest way (unless its not compact peat you are interested in and you really need raw peaty soil)
I thought those were all clay…

I got a real nice farming spot yeildes 7 smartstacks
(thats when i stopped so much more) and its surface level however never dig alone cause it is a higher level planet so mobs and what not but still really really great. I get maybe 3 smartstacks in half an hour I can show you it if you want.

Isn’t there only 26 compact peat per temple?
I’ve got a route on Elopor that nets me a smart stack of compact peat in under an hour, plus I get to explore a bit while I’m at it instead of mindlessly shoveling. Definitely my preferred method of peat farming.

yep 26 lol
Wow, seeing you all talk about the compact peat, and clay leaves you can find makes me see how much of the planets I have yet to explore. I nearly keeled over from excitement when I found my first piece of yellow gleam. I’ve found cream and blue since then, too. Ring worlds are difficult for my main as I have no points in health or combat, but I try to dash in and out again when I need somthing.
@ChimeraGaming - it would be really cool if you could show me at some point, thank you!

It was a guild one, I think. I wish I could be awake for the next one too! lol

I bet she sneaked in and followed the group hiding behind trees and rock and scavenging dead mobs and completed meteorites done by others. No one ever noticed. 
A bit like Gollum following the ring party.
