Supposedly so.

Guess we will have to see.

I don’t know why people are complaining about rawhide and iron chunks- nothing drops that is worth upgrading anyway!

Whisper caches are still 100. Hordes seemed like a bit more than before. Iron from veins seemed a bit higher. Still trying other things

I went to helltide and kept summoning blood maiden with a materials opal and got about 400 in about 5 minutes.

Yep. We now get 2% more rawhide. Yay…

It’s personal material management. It’s NOT the game that has low drop rate of Ore or Rawhide rewards ect.

I have 2 toons this season, my SB and FB Sorc (211 PG), Masterworking 8/12 (all Ancestral Legendary gear), 12/12 (wep/Ancestral Uniques) and I STILL have 13k Rawhide, ~12k Ore as of yesterday. You know WHY I have that much Ore and Leather? Because I’m not upgrading LOW 750 gear to include 750 Uniques UNTIL I have the Ancestral versions of gear, that’s worth the 8/12 or 12/12 upgrade, nothing less. You don’t bump Item Level of that piece by Masterworking anymore like in previous Seasons. It’s either 750 or 800 gear, that’s it.

I’m willing to bet players are wasting mats on Masterworking 750 gear to include non-Ancestral Uniques/Ancestral Legendary items. Then when you get a better 750 upgrade or you’ve found a Ancestral Legendary, you’re Masterworking that right off the bat. Sure, you may have that 750 gear that has your 3 BiS stats for that piece, but it is worth upgrading 8/12 or 12/12 when you can get a 1GA Ancestral of that same item and re-roll stats via Occultist? I think so.

Tree of Whispers, Infernal Hordes, Legion events, just about every Event chest, hell, every Replenishment Chest in Dungeons, even certain Elite Mobs to include Goblins rain Ore and Leather mats. You’re blaming the game for not PROVIDING the materials when yourself probably are not farming for materials and manage upgrading your gear properly. There’s also The Den where you can barter for Blacksmithing materials for Masterworking.

I suspect this is what they are doing as well. I might MW a weapon at 750 just for the quick boost, but only to level 4 and always get my materials back when a ga comes in. Ga, uniques and mythics are the only gear that should be masterworked to max. Resource management is also an important part of arpgs.

Lol okay then, come back when you’ve attempted to triple crit your gear. 15k iron/raw is nothing. I’ve used that in less than 5 minutes trying to hit a double crit on a single piece of gear.

Like I’ve said, material and MW management. Trying to hit a specific stat 3x for 12/12 is surly going to sink your mats if you don’t hit it. That’s a YOU and RNG issue, not obtaining the materials issue. Your reply is EXCACTLY why people are demanding a increase of resources bc of blowing it in minutes when it took hours to obtain that amount. There’s a plethora of ways to obtain the mats you need and not much has changed on how to obtain everything in the game since launch. It’s a grind. Surly you know that. If you’re spending more resources than you can obtain, it’s not a question of “Why isn’t there more Ore or Leather”, it’s more of “I should be more cautious on spending so much materials in such a little time and prioritize what gear I’m using it on” and guess what, when you run out of materials, you’ll need to grind for them again. Ironic.

Been playing D4 since launch and I’m well aware how to manage and obtain resources in D4, some people rather just “blame the game” instead of playing the game as intended to get what they need. Just because you’ve spent 15k raw ore in 5 minutes does not mean the game is entitled to reward you 15k Ore or Leather in the same amount of time, it don’t work like that. Welcome to a ARPG. :roll_eyes:

Perhaps f the Seething Materials chests dropped more mats. or sometimes ANY mats. It would be a nice start.

Bro, people are using massive quantities of rawhide to reroll enchants, and masterwork crit where they need to. We are only going to do this on GG gear. And yes we have GG gear.

I think the issue is more that people are rerolling MW over and over again to try to hit desired double 25ers. There are people MWing at a rate that is 10x a person that is accepting decent 25ers and moving on for a single set.

These bottlenecks in base raw materials exist suspiciously for people that seem to have no shortage of gold or obducite… Interesting.

How many triple crit MWs have you hit and what’s your pit level cleared? That would tell us a lot

I’m not even worried about getting triple crits on a item if it has Crit Dmg or Crit Chance. That’s the least of my worries when MW.

You’re not understanding the point of this whole thread. Let me bold this so you can understand more clearly.

You’re blowing through mats because you’re trying to TARGET a specific outcome for your MW rolls which you CAN’T bc MW outcome heavily relies on RNG then you keep blowing through your mats until you run out. That’s not a game issue, that’s your decision making issue.

You want 3 MW rolls on CRIT but don’t get it. You salvage that gear. You get another piece, rinse and repeat the process to try to get your triple crits then you and everyone else comes to the forums and complain there’s not enough mats…YES…THERE…IS. You’re just using them at a exponential rate to where you’re not obtaining enough in a instance to keep your MW rolling addiction going because your main content is Pits. I do not need triple rolls on a specific stat. That’s your decision to spend all of those mats while it’s not mandatory whatsoever. I do not need to “prove” that I can do L100 Pits, why? Glyphs at L45 anyway from comfortably L50-60 Pits. You’re pushing L100 Pits for what? Participation trophy? Better loot? Personal gratification?

Let me capitalize this so you can understand.

THATS… THE…… ENTIRE…. POINT…. OF…. THE…… GEAR…. PROGRESSION……

So you get 3 crappy masterwork rolls and just say, “good enough” and move on so you can try hard to clear your 80s? Lol

You’re literally talking about attempting to optimize our builds are a personal flaw as consequence of choices instead of that being the point of the game…
