Possible new hireling bug with improvement materials?

Tavore1138

I have 3 hirelings at grade 3 - 2 of whom are eligible to bring improvement type materials. The third is enchanting so does not apply.

Generally that means 4 drops a day some, if not most, of which have some sort of improvement materials for that craft.

I have had 2 drops each since the patch and not a single improvement material of any colour, even green.

Granted this is a small sample but given that one of the patch notes explicitly states that it was going to improve the drop rate of these materials I am wondering if possibly, maybe, perhaps it might be that someone made a booboo with whatever values got tweaked?

I did get one legendary temp on my woodworker for the first time, all 3 points in hirelings but only sitting at level 34 in wood. All my other crafters who are maxed did not receive anything but low level crap items, so yeah the percent chance does not seem to be working.........along with a ton of other things not working or broken. Still waiting to get my two mails a day as well. That has never worked from the start no matter how much I log into my characters.

Alrdy confirmed that drop rates were actualy nerfed. Only Enchanting hireling seems to still working fine.

Hm, dunno. My cloth hireling had bugged out before the patch a few times, sending me either a SINGLE useles racial gem or NOTHING at all, as of now...I think it's too early to tell, I seem to have gotten some update mats though. Don't think it was gold or anything, but RNG can't always roll in my favour. I guess we'll see for sure in a few days.
