I get this material upon killing one crab on like five or six. It's like most of the time the beast is too damaged to be exploited. I get that greedy players that sell for insane prices things that, in the end, just are digital items in a videogame, but most often the offer is just too low to match the demand. Mudcrab chitin loot chances are absurdly low.
I agree that they should be removed from daily writs requirements.
y I did learn that, not too far ago. Need to check that. Thank you for your input.Ishtarknows wrote: »Al_Ex_Andre wrote: »I used to complain about chitin not being auto earned, but now I just abandon the quest whenever it pops. So either way, I adapt now.
Checking the quest and abandoning it is a waste of time and energy though when I have 20 characters to deal dailies with.
You might be interested to know that Lazy Writ add-on has the option to auto abandon writs asking for chitin. There's an option for Violet Coprinus too

You can get the ingredients that are required for daily writs in all zones except for mudcrab chitin, which is nonexistent in land-locked zones and can only be obtained in the coastal areas.
EDIT: the mudcrab chitin is not actually part of the potion, so it could be easily replaced by something more like the bugloss or alkhest for other writs. Also, I delete all of these writs on all toons because 700 gold for 3 mudcrab chitin is not even close to being fair
I think I sell each mudcrab chitin for 700-800 gold, not 3 for 700 lol. I would hate for them to change this economy, as farming mudcrab chitin to sell is one of the ways I make gold.

Farm more please. There isn't enough in game.
ZOS should add everything that is required to do writs with to their writ drop tables. Period.

I usually end up selling the Chitin to buy more Wax, the droprate of wax is still absolutely awful across all its possible sources and it is in so many furnishings!!
I do a lot of dailies but on alts I keep alchemy at a lower level to avoid any Chitin shortages, I still get more than enough surveys and really don't mind missing a few Master Writs.
