I thought it might be helpful to start a thread to help connect some SA loot drops with their sources and possible uses. Please let me know if you see anything that needs to be corrected or if you have information to add. I'll try to keep the list in this post updated with any new information you provide and we'll also use it to update information posted on Stratics in more permanent locations.
Note: As of October 9, 2009, Publish 61 added some alternative methods (i.e., crafting, questing, growing) for acquiring some of the Imbuing Ingredients. The ones that are known so far have been included below.
Aliabeth the Tinker in the tinker shop in Royal City (Ter Mur facet) offers a quest called "A Worthy Proposition" that asks for one Elven Fletching and 10 bamboo flutes and another quest called "The Exchange" that asks for five white chocolate and one dark sapphire in exchange for valuable imbuing ingredients. Until more results are in from both of these quests, I'm reluctant to mention them as definite alternative sources for any specific imbuing ingredients. Maplestone has completed the "Worthy Proposition" quest several times to obtain daemon claws and undying flesh and "The Exchange" quest to obtain silver snake skin.
Sliem the Fence, way up in the NW corner of the Royal City, offers a quest called, "Unusual Goods." He promises a highly sought after imbuing ingredient in exchange for one piece of crystalline blackrock and two perfect emeralds. Not sure yet of the range of rewards, but it should be imbuing ingredients plus 75 loyalty points.
Imbuing Ingredients
These are the high-end ingredients needed to imbue certain properties at intensities of 91-100% and to imbue properties that have no intensity (i.e., Balanced, Faster Casting, Mage Armor, Night Sight, Spell Channeling, Slayer Type, Use Best Weapon Skill, or Velocity).
These are the regular gems and the properties they apply to when using the Imbuing skill. All may be found on creatures throughout the game and may also be received as quest rewards.
Peerless Instance Keys
Note: See also the notes below in the section about items with no known use regarding what appear to be peerless keys found on corrosive slimes in the Passage of Tears mini-champ spawn area near the center of the Abyss (west side). They include blessed Coagulated Legs, Gelatanous Skulls, and Partially Digested Torsos with timers of +21,000 seconds.
Quest Items
These are items required for or received from completing quests (or similar systems, such as the Font of Fortune) that are new with the SA expansion. You can find additional information about the new quests here: http://uo.stratics.com/php-bin/show_content.php?content=30124.
Crafting Ingredients
Items With No Known Use...Yet
Erroneously Spawning Items That Will Probably Be Deleted In A Future Publish??
Possible Uses for "Mystery Items"
The Publish 60 notes describe a number of new item properties on pp. 18-19 of the PDF version (http://www.uoherald.com/news/news.php?newsid=932) and you can find them on a number of the new artifacts. Perhaps many of the above items with no known use will eventually be used to imbue these properties on weapons, shields and armor?
Map of Abyss Mini-Champ Spawn Areas and Other Points of Interest
Below is a map showing the locations of the various mini-champ spawn areas in the Abyss, as well as the Cavern of the Discarded and some other points of interest (e.g., peerless and entrances to new Fel rule-set champ spawns).
Miscellaneous Imbuing Information
I put together a spreadsheet of miscellaneous imbuing information. You can view it here:
