Tafetta cloth?

[Yumi_umi]

Idk but it would make sense if it were to be dropped by treasure hunts that it would be from goat as its 2 star and would most likely not be in a leather right?
But once again i'm heavily leaning on the " SE forgot to add it in " idea.
They could be implementing it on the next patch or so.
Because most ppl found most of the bew materials already so y not that damn cloth and the plate?
It can't be that of an "omg total rng lucky ass" drop right?
It might come from the new beastmen tribe quests? Maybe >_>
Can't be a dungeon drop as it has no place in their loot tables.
Why SE whyyyyyyy
Why the big tease?

Anyone have any luck yet figuring out where Light Steel or Tafetta comes from?

Maybe it's from beastmen vendor at higher reputation levels? They usually sell some crafting mats.

Nope.

Crafters can't make money because other crafters smash prices into the ground as fast as they possibly can.

Undercutters can only do so much damage. If the demand is high they won't even make a dent in the market because they'll put something up...and then it'll sell right away. Then yours would sell. There's not a lot of people who are willing to put down 3 million on a cosmetic piece that they don't even wear themselves. The people that did, did. And then people lowered the price, not to undercut the last crafter, but to find the price people would actually pay for it.

Hard to recover when it's something they can gather and totally bomb the market with. For instance, rubies dropped to the double digits because somebody came and plopped hundreds of them on the AH for dirt cheap. The price is there to stay, considering how few things they're needed for. You can't buy them out and list for higher, because they just list more. If they don't list more, other people are trying to undercut the "less than a vendor pays" prices for w/e reason.

There was also an issue recently where we had a small group of crafters going 24/7 (same spot, endless crafting, only moving to go to the FC chest), who listed 1 star items for under 1k and such, and they did this for months. MONTHS. There was no recovering from things like HQ crafting gear being sold for 600 gil when there are 10 items listed for that much on AH.

/sigh back on topic of the actual thread OP, still no sign or word of taffeta cloth/light steel? I've been trying all the lower lvl maps myself, but nothing has dropped so far.

[Yumi_umi]

Perhaps it's not in the game yet as i have wasted 100k+ on all maps just to find nothing but dress/ mariner, other expensive selling items *cutting oil etc.
Its probably a thing SE looked over as everything else was added to the game via maps, gathering.
And it can't be wow ultra omg 1% rare drop as its only a 2* material where as dress material is 3*.

I'm taking this with a grain of salt, but someone on the internet said, "one of my FC friends had their retainer bring the cloth back from a quick venture."

That's a possibility, the quick ventures are completely random.

I have gotten onion legs from version 1 that aren't in game anymore, so I assume even if they forget to add them your retainer can still "find" them.
