    crafting nodes were changed with DB

    please bare with me while i try to explain this, as its new kinda confusing & im tired!

    so cyrodill & dlc areas have a 50/50 chance to drop materials of your level or craft level

    so a CR160 character with no points in woodworking will either find maple or ruby ash

    any one below CR149 (even with maxed out crafting) will have a 50/50 chance of void or ruby

    and of course a CR 160 with maxed out craft will only find max level crafting materials.

    hope i made sense & helped- im off 2 sleep!

    I think you have to 1-be vet level (or CP level), AND have the first passive in the applicable craft maxed out, AND then most will be 14 and the RNG gods will occasionally bless you with 15-16.

    I think.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Unfortunately, running around those zones is one of the best ways to gather materials imo.

    For alternatives, you can decon cp150/160 gear (intricate provides more per decon) OR use Telvar stones.

    Last option: guild stores.

    I think it depends on your crafting level. Like I believe you have to level the first skill to 10 in each blacksmith, clothing, and woodwork before you see any of those materials.

    You need to be 10/10 in the craft to get the most benefit. When I was running around Wrothgar with my blacksmithing at 1/10, I was still collecting iron ore. As soon as I put the points in I got rubedite ore every time.

    With the DB change, if you are 1/10 and vet ranked you have a 50/50 chance of getting either iron ore or rubedite ore in Wrothgar.

    From what I know you need to be at least cp 150 as those scaled zones give you your level of mats. Not 100% sure but I think that's how it works. I do all my farming in wrofgar do a circle loop of an area the respawn times are pretty quick.

    Another way to get more raw mats is to do the crafting writs with the good chance to get a survey map. Usually you can haul 40-50 raw mats from one survey. Add this to what you find in the open world, and you can start acquiring a good store of mats.
