I cannot get my head around why people are complaining about this. You CAN get these items from somewhere else. There's 3 ways to get them it is NOT just by doing hunts.... It is OPTIONAL.

Void ark
Airship explo (210 straight away)
Savage
Hunts

People are gonna be doing airship explo MORE than hunting.

Sorry for repeating myself by some people need to get a grip and enjoy the game. Patch 3.1 looks promising
