    Am I the only person who only finds rawhide scraps and jute when running in Wrothgar and Hew's Bane? I want to find out if it's a common bug or if it's just me before I /bug it.

    Hmm. I think your crafting skill passives have to have so many skill points into them — 9 per craft, I think — before the VR16 mats will drop on a regular basis for you in Wrothgar, Hew's Bane and Cyrodiil.

    Seriously? So if my tailor/woodworker is only a level 40 alt I have to run around getting one shotted by every passing mob while trying to find a deer to hunt.

    You do know that characters at any level (except V15-16) are scaled up to V15 while in DLC zones like wrothgar, imperial city, and hew's bane, so you won't just get one-shotted by everything unless you have them run around naked or something.

    They drop in any dungeon, normal mode included if you leveled Clothing to 50 and unlocked its first passive all the way. Go to normal Fungal Grotto - those mudcrabs drop quite some leather. I guess it balances with the crafting nodes outside.

    Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
    Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
    Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
    V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
    Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
    Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
    Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
    Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    You have to have skill points into your specific crafting level passive and maxed out to level 10 before you'll find the highest material. All DLCs have nodes that scale based upon crafting level passive.

    Monsters in scaled zones such as Cyrodiil, Wrothgar, and Hew’s Bane will no longer drop a mixture of Rubedo Leather and Shadowhide if you have Rank 10 of the Tailoring passive. Instead, they will exclusively drop Rubedo Leather.

    Except of course for the fact that monsters in Cyrodiil are all VR14 and therefore only drops up to shadowhide scraps.

    Nope. Sorry, but as a person who has farmed a lot, I have to call your bluff. No way you got "thousands" of V16 leather in a few hours.

    I got 168 rubedo hide scraps in an hour in Cold Perch Cavern last night. 1000 in 5 to 6 hours is quite possible, just very boring.

    If you have access to IC DLC, farm tel var stones and buy the material for that.

    Better make a nightblade first. Or you wont be recieveing to many telvar

    My Templar disagrees with this statement.
    Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...

    Is there a reason that Rubedo scraps are so hard to come by in Hew's Bane? There are nodes for Ancestor Silk, Rubedite ore and Ruby Ash all over the place yielding materials 100% of the time (sometimes 3 or 4 pieces); the creatures that drop Rubedo scraps are much less frequent and I'm only getting drop rates of about 40% when killed (and then usually just a single piece). The difficulty of accumulating Rubedo Leather is reflected in it's high price in Guild Stores.

    I've got Ancestor Silk, Rubedite Ingots and Ruby Ash coming out of my ears but as a full Medium Armour wearer it's going to take an age to collect enough leather for a full set. I'm also smarting as a piece just failed an 87% chance of improvement to legendary losing the materials, Nirncrux and Dreugh Wax :-(

    Medium armor matts have always been a little more effort to get since they only come from animals. It has been this way from the start.
