Loot tables for expert dungeons should be changed - too many crafting items!

Is anyone else farming the new armor sets having this problem? I've been after the new i70 armor since 2.2 released and have only got a whopping two pieces of different sets. Meanwhile, I'm sitting on dozens of the crafting items formerly purchased with Philosophy tomes. I don't know about anyone else, but it is incredibly frustrating that there are multiple crafting items diluting the loot tables for every boss chest of every expert dungeon in addition to the new stuff AND darklight.

I'm not against crafting gear dropping in dungeons, but they have a far smaller pool of immediate use for the player. If they're going to drop, keep them separate; that way, those who want them can get them and those who don't can farm armor sets easier.

But I like the crafting items... as long as it isn't Cooking Sherry or Filtered Water. I usually just turn the gear in for seals to buy more crafting items anyways.

Agreed. You'd probably get so many myth tomes just trying to get your i70 gear that you might as well skip that step and go straight to i90.

If they want i70 to be a step people actually make use of they need to be a bit more generous with it.

The issue is that there's an easy way to make both parties happy. Every dungeon up till now has had separate tables for crafting items and it works fine. Either bosses need to 3+ chests or you're stuck with abysmal chances of actually getting what you want.

The last boss chest should ALWAYS drop an armor piece, nothing more frustrating than filtered water every time you run one. And there should just be designated chests for the tradeskill items throughout the instances anyway, it makes no sense to have it the way it is.

Lots of people are farming for vanity now, not just to wear the gear for stats.

They need to remove crafting item drops from boss loot chests all together or set it to where only people with the appropriate class and skill level can "Need" the drop. It's really annoying that crafting is second class in this game.

We've never had crafting drops on boss chest drops before, so on the "why start now?" mentality, they should just get rid of them.

RNG doesn't smile on me. Most drops in the new dungeons are either crafting materials or darklight items that I have on me already so I can't even roll on them to trade in for seals.
