It said in the patch notes they increased the volume of drops from popular crafting materials like aldgoat skins and diremite webs from a max of like 2-3 up to around 4-5 per kill, but did they do anything with the drop rates themselves? I was trying to farm diremite webs today and after an hour I'd hardly gotten any at all. I was killing the Banemites west of Fallgourd, by the way.
I farmed about 200 of them in an hour last night. Not every mite will drop, but the ones that did dropped up to 6 at a time. I think I got 8 a few times too.
General tip: Grab some friends and head into Totorak. Provided your friends are willing to pool the webs for you, you can walk away with as many as 20 Webs per 20ish minute run. That was before 2.1 though, so you may end up with more now. Either way, if you're willing to mindlessly grind mobs overworld, may as well give Totorak a try.
