No love for Medium Armor?

Have you ever noticed that it seems like Medium Armor doesn't get any respect in the game? Not that I use it, myself, but I'm really talking about the materials for crafting Medium Armor. When you get a survey report and use it, you get 4 Light Armor nodes (plants) and only 2 Medium Armor nodes (traps). And if your Medium Armor crafting level is below your character's level, you get only 1 Medium Armor node at the material level that you really need, plus 1 Medium Armor node at your character's level. Of course, it's easy enough to run around killing wolves and mudcrabs to farm Medium Armor material, but I'm just saying.
I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    With the nodes, the Silk gives you like base 18-20 per node and the Traps give you almost double im pretty sure. And with the CP passive you have a chance for these to double.

    and in terms of the nodes and crafting level, its the same for all crafting levels.

    Yeah... plus they share tannins with light armor... and you get XP for medium armor crafting by deconstructing light armor...

    Now blacksmithing tempers on the other hand... always in short supply for me...

    Plants give up to 20 and traps up to 40. Its the same amount. Leather never was a problem.

    And there you answered your own thoughts.
    People sort of automatically get medium armor materials "en passant" just fighting their way through all the questing, while they have to -actively- go out and grab them for the cloth materials... and that's why they don't get as much for surveys.
    Mystery solved. ;)

    Okay, I guess I never pay that much attention to how much each plant or trap is giving. It just seems like I always run out of Rubedo Leather faster than I run out of Ancestor Silk, although that may be from harvesting regular Clothing nodes more than I kill animals.
