edit: I was looking for a place to farm mutagens in act2/Iorveth side, but it seems for some reason the mutagen drops have been nerfed. I have tested it in act one killing lots of nekkers and the drop rate is nowhere near as it used to be. (7-8 lesser(!) mutagens after killing around 200 nekkers/harpies

I'd say the stone quarry, you can farm harpies there.

I've killed everyone in the quarry and got 1 lesser mutagen. I thought maybe harpies don't drop mutagens so hoping for nekkers or something. I know there are some around the dwarven crypt, but not too many.

to the north of the map past the big lake is a round pond where 20ish nekkers burst out of the ground. This is your place.

Kill em all. Go a little bit away. Meditate. Save. Load. Repeat

Yeah, this is where I went too, there is usually some harpies floating about nearby as well.

Somewhy the nekkers stopped respawning there for me. Anyway I reloaded an earlier save and tried farming in the nekker cave in act 1. Killed 40 nekkers and got 4 lesser mutagens nothing else, so the problem is not with being in act 2 or with harpies, but for some reason th mutagen drop is not as it used to be. Very dissapointing, I think I won't even continue my game, I have already finished it twice, this third run I was interested how big armor I can get, but after this nerf I can't get more mutagens..

:( :( :(

If you meditate for as close to 24 hrs as possible (just behind the current time on the dial) it has always worked for me at the pond.

Maybe my Steam version has not updated to 1.2 yet because I am at this place now and have not noticed any change in mutagen drop frequencies.

My real problem now is that I have killed 2-300 monsters and only got 7-8 lesser mutagens. this can't be right.

In my first playthrough, I got hardly any high level mutagens, my second playthrough where I went heavily into the alchemy tree I got 2 greater power and 4 madness mutagens. I never saw any of those on my first playthrough. Don't know if it is luck or what.

The only right place to farm mutagens is Act I whole forest. Good for power-leveling too.
On my current hard playthrough I ended having 7 Greater Enhancment Mutagens in 2 hours of extermination of endrega and nekkers.
Works for me.

Got me curious about this. I am not calling you out or anything, but I find it hard to believe they changed this. We'll see when I start run number 5 in a day or two. :)

One thing you could do is try using the "Side Effect" ability to generate them. You would need to put a point in Alchemy ability to get there, but that would also mean really devastating bombs.

I've got 8-10 greater mutagens, bunch of mediums and close to a hundred lesser mutagens while i was farming them in the forest in act one. Unfortunately there were only two normal strength mutagen among them, but I thought i will farm more in act 2. I've installed the 1.2 patch in the beginning of act 2 and can not farm mutagens since. Reloaded a previous save from act 1 and getting bad result from that too. I can't think of anything else, but there might be an explanation..

There's a mod that allows you to craft higher level mutagens by combining lower level ones
