Tuft of Dire Wolf Fur drop rates

[Zaray]

Anyone else noticed that the "drop" (forage) rate of these has changed dramatically downward since the last patch/expansion release?

[Liwsa]

drop rate? I thought these were only foraged.

[Beriberi]

With the release of Ro expansion, the forage rate of these was reduced, intentionally or otherwise. I first noticed it while in Thurgadin, when I started getting forage items (vegetables, berries, fruit, etc) that were new to the forage table. I tested it for a bit and yes, I was only getting one, maybe two per hour, much less than previous. I used to do all my tradeskilling in this zone so I could forage them, and sometimes would load the forager while raiding on other computer. No more though.

Yes Liwsa. They are only foraged.

[Liwsa]

I wasn't sure since saltpeter use to only be a drop and last night I foraged some in POI so thought maybe they made them a drop.

[Zaray]

the rate of them is currently max 10 a night as opposed to a few stacks.

[Ngreth Thergn]

this is really od.

The data for the drop rates has not changed since 10/11/2001 6:20:01 PM when it was original put in.

The zone information was tuched but the change was to replace the forage table with the same forage table (I.E. no change)

I will poke at it further.

[Zaray]

better.. thanks

It looks like Maddoc broke it.

We have implemented a fix, but it may take a patch for the fix to go in.

It affects more zones than just these zones.

[Mavick]

LOL... I can see Ngreth pointing the very large Ogrish Finger of Blame at him like a crossbow as he demands Maddoc brush the wolfies until all tradeskillers are satisfied.

...Poor Maddoc

Oh thank god, as a non foraging class Halfling the MQ forage bots have driven the prices insanely high (175-250 plat per tuft). cant buy/make/resell haversack anymore.

I would not have named named, but Maddoc admitted to it in a chat channel

When I originally spoke about it I just said "Another designer"

[Maddoc-the-Wayfarer]

Yeah, I definitely broke it, though I'd like to say it was only half my fault!

In either case, I've fixed the problem, pushed it to Test, and sent it off to QA to verify. If any of you have a forager on Test and would like to verify that it's fixed, please do so and report your findings back.

This should be going out during the next scheduled live update.

[Artemisia]

Just spend about 30 minutes in Eastern Wastes, foraged 9 of these

Edit : I mean on AB, not on test

[Zaray]

I think I hear Britney Spears singing "Oops I did it again". Or is that Maddoc singing?

(I think its broken again. Foraging *only* pods of water in Thurg)
