I think they tweaked how players get credit in Zadnor a bit, because I can do the same things in BSF with a crowd as a solo tank with Bloodsucker hitting everything, and still walk away with a gold, while in Zadnor I'm lucky to get silver.
That's something I noticed right away as well
Zadnor is an absolute pain in the rear to try to get gold for if you get there late. Bozja is certainly more forgiving in that aspect. It's a questionable design choice & I see why so many people dislike Bozja over Eureka now.

I started actually farming the Field notes I needed Saturday, but it was only for the one entire instance time then I took a break like nbd- Come Sunday I spent most of the early morning and late after noon farming the same Skirmishes (Dyunbu #12) and stayed around the area's her skirmishes happen- still no drop, I went back that evening & did another instance, no drop
Yesterday, same scenario- still no drop I also missed 2 Dyunbu skirmishes because people somehow managed to killer her very, very quickly.

It's a job at this point & I just want to be done with it. I don't understand why some of the field note drops have to be so abysmally low. I feel if I've fought her over & over- I'd atleast know enough about her by then to make my own field notes.
I still have #14 & #17 I need to finish as well but I was going to get to it once #12 dropped & I've heard Sartauvoir's & Lyon's notes are even worse unless you do the 1v1
I'd like atleast better drop chances if not another means to obtaining them so my time & others players times doesn't feel so wasted.
