Guild Wars 2

I decided to work on leveling up my necro today, since he is over a year old and still only level 67. In 2 1/2 hours of playing, not a single cloth item dropped. Has the profession relevant drop thing not started yet? Are cloth item drops at a lower rate than leather and metal? Are they trying to keep spell casters from dominating the silk market? I know its a rng thing, but I wonder about the rate. It just seems odd to me. I would prefer to get my armor upgrades from mobs rather than crafting or the TP.

It hasn’t been nerfed as far as I’m aware, it’s just RNG. With RNG, as unlikely as something might be, it is still absolutely possible. You’re just unlucky- maybe next time you’ll get nothing but cloth armour drops!

Should be the opposite actually, as of last patch you are slightly more likely to get equipment drops that you can use. So playing a clothy you should get more cloth.

See the bugs forum, many necromancer players have reported getting drops as if the engine thinks they’re a different class.

I get cloth all the time via salvaging.

Thanks, found and bumped the thread. That forum is so depressing.

I think it may be a Necro bug Neko ive been levelling a Ele and am getting abit more class profession drops than I used too.

I have noticed however that in the bag drops from Humanoids which should have a fair chance of cloth I almost never get it, making it hard to ‘farm’ cloth

Been raising a guardian with the new updates and thinking the higher loot allocation affects weapons more than armour. Havn’t been keeping track of loot drops however other class items do seem to show up less frequently.

Unsure if it affects loot from bags, doesn’t seem like it.

My ele has no trouble getting cloth items, so I’m pretty sure its just a bug.
