Can we PLEASE get nodes for cloth and leather? Supply for these materials from drops/salvage can be adjusted to compensate. I just want a way to collect these out in the wild without relying on RNG. I mean, I know it’s not hard to find Silk etc. from drops, but I’d really prefer a sure-fire way to go out and harvest them, like all the other basic materials.

Leather nodes… mmm what? just put a several dead animals for harvesting? That would be funny as hell lol and also what tool would be using? a knife?

For leather, I was thinking that the nodes could be traps left out in the wild that your character would, um, commandeer. Also stuff like animal corpses by streams/dry areas/snowy areas, yes. Harvesting tool would just be the sickle…increase the number of uses to 100 like the other tools.

Hey all. Just wanted pop in give some insight on this change. First off, sorry for the undocumented change. It is always our goal to get everything in the release notes, in spite of what the last few updates may have led you to believe
Now, this reduction in refinement is one of a few different options we were looking at to bring the cost of wood back in line, but it wasn’t actually intended to ship yet. Since it is out there now, enjoy! But we will be keeping an eye on the economy of this and other common materials. If in the future things crash or explode (that’s economy talk for “crash” or “explode”) the refinement recipes are one area we can adjust to keep things stable.
Merry Wintersday!

Now if only the same could happen to cloths. Ive never actually seen anybody on this forum have an issue with the price of wood.

Logs are usually made into multiple planks in the real world, GW planks need multiple logs so they are probably more like ply!

People on reddit were complaining about the fact that there’s no good “farm” for soft wood (which is why soft wood was so expensive, due to the demand for Spiritwood).

Most of the trees are spread out without reliable “forests” to park characters at.

Cloth, on the other hand, has guaranteed drops from Silverwastes chests. (Granted, you’re not guaranteed which tier you get.)
