Guild Wars 2

Torva Messor.1452:

I’ve been wondering about this since yesterday when I noticed how much butter and chocolate I was finding.

I think the problem here is that they are rated as common crafting materials so the game gives them a higher chance to drop by default. In other words I think the pre-existing overall loot table is interfering with the new loot bag table. Worse still these items also drop from high level bags, this makes no sense at all and has to be a bug.

I just hope this gets fixed soon, I need my crafting materials.

IMO this is a problem. I don’t mind that the cooking ingredients are now a drop, but clearly the butter especially is dropping WAY too much. Tailors and leather workers who already struggle more than other professions due to not being able to harvest their mats from any type of nodes are now especially out of luck as even less cloth/leather is dropping than before. Skale can no longer be farmed for blood at all. In 30 minutes and over 100 kills I got 2 blood and about 30 eggs. This is very unbalanced.

I don’t mind the anti farm loot code, in fact I think it’s GREAT. I have no problems moving around from area to area to farm what I need, but the rate of cooking ingredients needs to be toned down some and the rare crafting mats need to drop more than they are since they made this change. I just opened 12 of the little dropped loot bags and out of that 12, Seven of them had butter. way… too… much
