The recent change to champion loot has a lot of people talking, but many have found their place, for now, in the pavilion, farming champs and destroyers there.
What I’ve noticed is that by far the most commonly dropped crafting item in the insignia/inscription class is T5 and T6 claws.
What I find curious is that there appears to be this big spike in these materials dropping, AND these materials just so happen to be used with insignias and inscriptions that are currently slated to be reworked due to Arenanet’s stated desire to remove magic find by the end of this year.
I don’t want to assume that each section of the pavillion drops these on the majority, but I figure that if each section had it’s own “more likely to drop” material, that we’d all be farming which ever spot dropped vials of powerful blood. Since we’re not, I’m inclined to think this is an instance-wide thing.
I just find it curious, and it’s got me wondering if Arenanet is just testing the waters to see how people will react, while doing said testing with a material they expect to lose a lot of value later on.
Where are my gem sales? I want gem sales! Nerf EVERYTHING!
