Better that than the trend that's in most MMOs where the mats that are appropriate for your level are always in the next zone which is above your level range.

Not sure why the vet 1 area is dropping level one mats. Kinda frustrating though, since I went through all the trouble of leveling provisioning and dumping the nine or ten or however many skill points it needs into it specifically so I could get a much needed boost for vet content. If I can't use it, then those are just wasted skill points that could be put to much better use elsewhere.

Also can't seem to find many recipes anymore, to say nothing of motifs.
