After the recent update, level 16 Wild Shigra and Thorned Basilisk dropping Haunch and Tough Hide,  Level 28 Bullosaurs dropping Shank and Hard Hide, Level 13 Brown Deer dropping Tough Hide and Ribs..  Level 6 Shigra Level 8 Northam Pigs and Level 8 Grassland Wolf  in Northam dropping Sturdy Hide and Rump .. level 2 Pigs dropping Soft Meat and Tattered Hide

 

Have no idea where to find Hams anymore...  if this was intentional with due respect I think it's a huge mistake.

What a lazy and unbalancing "update". Not at all what I expected. It invalidates everything the players were used to in one swipe. It's a huge FU to the players, new and old. Collection was never a big problem for me. I can already collect 1-2 grades above the mats I can *use* for skills , and that imbalance is mostly from just doing the dailies available. At worst, you can get collection quest mats from other players.

 

I am actually in favor of lowering the levels needed to *produce*, or increase the XP for producing.

 

So now, Crafting points, and therefore XP, from Fishing and Skinning is virtually non-existent. I haven't even bothered to check Foraging. Multiplying by 1.5 doesn't help when everything gives 1/10th the XP in the first place, or is impossible to use. Tuna used to give me about 130 per catch, now I get 10. Instead of getting Rump to cook from fighting outside the gates, we now have to make multiple trips to Northam Farm, killing Pigs that give no XP. For *THREE or FIVE* levels? When I kill level 16 creatures now, I get only level 40 materials which are unusable.

 

Might as well drop the crafting component from the game. And I say that as a person who joined because of the crafting.

The world chat has been pretty much in line with this.

 

 

Everything seems wrecked, as if that update was entirely unfinished and yet synched with the current game model in a drunken fit of negligence. 

 

I honestly don't even understand how you can level gathering skills now....at 10xp per item? Yet the amount needed per level was left as is? And what is the point of leveling any gathering skills now that everything seems accessible....?


I just started playing a month ago, just came to understand the game and now it makes no sense. 
There didn't seem to be any need for changes to gathering in an update. Why not anything else?
how about another Pvp island or something?

Maybe make it so we'd have to craft some item (a boat?) to reach another island?


Please unbreak the update, I was beginning to enjoy Eldevin.

On a side note for us low levelled peeps. Until (if really) they fix or make it better, the only place I can find ham is in the goblin's cave outside Eldevin City's North east gate (next to Othalo). The level 3 bats now drop ham. So if you need them for crafting (I sure do) check that place out. And if you get soft meat it means it's fixed.
