You should have plenty of Slug Sweets, especially if you have hunted Rafflesia to extinction. Goopy Goo is found off Triffids who are plentiful throughout the Wildlands and Arboreal Spore should be plentiful if you have been fighting Dryads. This quest is better left till the final days because the Ether reward is needed more then.
