Just from personal observation, it seems that drop rates for tradeskill items (animal pelts, spider and spiderling silks) have decreased significantly within the last month or two. Here are a few examples that I have noticed while hunting with my druid:
1. Pelt drops from Poachers in JPF. Used to be able to get at least a pelt or two per quad, within the last month they have dropped to maybe 1-2 per two quads.
2. Spider Silk drops in EK. Crag spiders have started to have no-drop items, like the stuff for newbie armor quests in Rivervale. Am seeing silks drop significantly less. When collecting spiders for pbaoe, getting maybe 6 silks from 10+ crags/carrions.
3. Spiderling Silk drops (Feerrott, Innothule Swamp, etc). The ones in Feerrott are dropping pristine spider silk and black spider silk along with the regular spiderling silk loot tables, so they are dropping less frequently. Couldn't say for sure on the ones in Innothule, because there was not a one on track when I checked there yesterday. I only checked these two zones because spiderlings are generally in good supply here.
Anyone else have any feedback on this?
