Talk:Crafting material

Drop Rate fluctuations
Observation: Item drop rate for crafting material. Crafting material that is in short supply at traders drops in larger stacks from monsters. While it has yet to be 'proven' you can compare the drop rate of bones and cloth/tanned hides. You will find that both cloth and tanned hides drop in stacks of 8-15 while bones are ALWAYS in stacks of 1-2. I have recently noticed that the amount getting dropped is in direct correspondance to the trader. I think there is a game mechinism in place to replenish short supplies by increasing that particular items amount in drops. For now this is speculation. --Draygo Korvan 15:16, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
