    Mob drops need to be addressed

    As crafters progress in rank, they start to require more and more lucrative items. Many of which can be farmed up by Botanists and Miners, but many also require enemy drops. The problem here is that some of these are so important and so vital that the few spawn locations for these enemies are now overpopulated with campers, forcing those in the trades to either pay high prices for materials or compete tirelessly for claims.

    At the moment there are two such major stumbling blocks for weavers and the primary one is Fleece. Aside from a poor drop rate, this also suffers in that it only drops from Karakul's which spawn in Coerthas. This has lead to a rise in campers.

    Please fix this SE. Give us more spawns or different ways to obtain vital resources!

    Agreed, I can imagine the RMT farming them (if they aren't already!) with their current prices. Fleece currently hovers around 500 gil each on Leviathan which is more than twice our Diremite, the other one that's over-farmed.

    You think having campers at karakuls is bad? Try our server with teleporting bots on the banemites and karakuls (generally any mob that drops vital mats) 24/7

    Supposedly there are bots now teleporting to monster locations, you don't have a chance in hell competing against this, SE need to remove this teleporting bullshit in the next patch (assuming they even know how to)

    There is a poor drop rate, but they can drop up to 3x fleece per mob. That compensates for it hardcore.
    The only issue is with the bots. But it's really, really fun to screw with them by pulling repops out of range with Aero before they can Holy them.

    I have heard that if you open the trade window with a bot, it's screws up their programming and they won't be able to claim mobs (or maybe teleport either). So, grab a friend or two, have someone start a trade with a bot while the others claim mobs.

    It's fine how it is. i have a lvl 50 craft with a second/third on the way up. if you want to have more drops/spawns you will only screw yourself over in the long run by lowering the price of top tier stuff.
    You might not have alot of time during the day to play this game, but like most of us we plan our days.
    Maybe you should try this.

    It's not mob drop rate that needs to be addressed. It's mob quantity that needs to be fixed.

    There need to be more places to get specific items. Diremite web, fleece, etc. only drop off a handful of mobs. Leave the rate how it is, just add more spawns of these mobs, or have the lower tier mobs drop the items.

    The drop rate of some of the items could do with a little addressing as well, i spent just over 2 and a half hours killing billys/nannys for aldgoat skins compareing this to mining i can get a stack of 99 in around 20-30 mins its a huge work rate diffrence for a leather worker compared to a goldsmith
