Low-level Animal mobs no longer dropping Rawhide Scraps

Wait til you need Fell Hide. Now that is hard to come up with. Trolled a pile of guild selling stations the other day and came up with 2 fell scraps. They have everything else in 100 lots.

You get fell hide in Coldharbour. Port over there and farm some netches. It's not the easiest thing to farm, but it's better than trying to scrape from guild stores. Also, you really don't need that much fell in the long run. Only levels 46, 48, and 50 (and 50 could be interchanged with the VR1 medium material that I can't remember the name of because none of medium wearers are VR1 yet).

I actually leveled 49 last night in Coldharbour hunting Fell Hide. Umm Betty Netches are 3 shot, the Clanfears in the area are 2 to 3. Now the Bull Netches do take 30 sec or so.

I won't need it for her much longer but I have others who will, so I'll stack it up if I can. I was just surprised no one is selling any.

In related news, the price of guts has gone up drastically due to this issue. The highest I've seen so far is a buyer paying 2000g a stack. Pre-botch, the price was ~100g-200g per stack.

I made an alt just to farm guts. If you see Controls-the-Pests in Davon's Watch, say hi.

I'm also sitting on about 800 atm, if anyone needs a stack to tide them over shoot me an in-game mail, @Circuitous.

Still bugged on PTS in version 1.4.

Do critters drop guts, crawlers etc or is that still bugged too?

Nope, those are still bugged. Whole issue still exists.

Thanks.
And you are saying a lvl 3 can still get those?

Circuitous · August 2014

Yes. The issue is that these items are erroneously flagged as leveled loot, and only appear for players within level range of the creature in question. Level 3 or lower players can get Guts, and players close in level to wolves and mudcrabs can acquire the appropriate Scraps. Anyone else misses out on these drops.

It's especially silly that they fixed a different item being flagged this way, AND made critters in VR zones not VR1 anymore, but still this issue exists.

Crap. Thanks Circuitous

Has anyone from zos commented on this and is there a timetable for fix?

Circuitous · August 2014

Just a vague "in an upcoming patch."

springbound · August 2014

Well, I am vr2 and lucky me. I am level 50 provisioner 6/3 and I now find wine grapes and brown malt in baskets everywhere. But I can't get a scrap of rawhide or leather as a level 50 crafter for cloth so lower levels can't have me make them decent gear.

Yost19 · August 2014

I was hoping this would get fixed during this maintenance - some of us play in competitive trading guilds and this issue is really a pain for traders. I think a lot of players would appreciate a more informative response from zos about the issue and plans to fix it.

Circuitous · August 2014

If you haven't already, make sure you're using /feedback and /bug on this issue.

So you'll be less upset when those V12s run next to your L3 with their own L3s farming the same mats at the same rate? It's just a nuisance making the alt, it won't really slow anyone down.

Or a level 8 in a gear set who would also own everything in the area.

"Monsters will drop leather scraps again, regardless of the level of the character that kills them."

From v1.4.1 PTS patch notes.

Unfortunately, Guts aren't making it (show previous quotes).

I hope this includes gut drops from critters.

Not for this patch, but we are aware they're still not dropping and are working on fixing it.

Nice! I mean, it sucks that the guts still aren't being dropped, but at least they're doing something and fixing the leather. It's a start, and the leather was my main concern to begin with. Here's hoping guts are next for all the fishermen out there!

Divinius · August 2014

Don't fix it yet! I'm making a killing selling guts to desperate fishers at ridiculous prices.

Circuitous · August 2014

You've got until some nebulous point in September.

(btw I've been doing laps around Davon's Watch and have thousands of Guts, if you need any send me an in-game mail @Circuitous and I'll send you some. Don't get gouged.)

The concern was high levels farming low level areas leaving no mobs for the low levels.

I could easily see this as a problem if the mods didn't respawn so quickly. I'll go to Delyn's Mill and kill a dozen imps, and by the time I've gone 20 feet, they've already respawned.

I do think there should be courtesy involved, though. Us higher-level chars should give the lower-level ones priority. If I was in the area with somebody going through the quest for the first time, I might give it up for the time being and come back later. But even if I didn't do it, the mobs would respawn very soon.
