Long story less long, we need WAY MORE raw hide. Forgotten souls are pretty bad but nowhere near as bad as rawhide, and with the souls changes I actually have not been running out ever. You need it to temper and masterwork and the prices on masterworking are insane. It costs 1300 rawhide alone to go from 1 to 12 masterwork. If you miss your masterwork and want to reset, it costs more rawhide LOL…
I just farmed bosses for like an hour straight, got to 8k rawhide, spent all of it in a matter of 2 mins trying to hit masterwork #1 on +ranks to resilient. I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of rawhide trying to hit masterworks so far this season. The problem is not “we dont get enough raw hide” more so “it costs way too much rawhide to upgrade gear”. The bottleneck for upgrading your gear should not be a COMMON material. It realistically should be the Obducite, the main material required for upgrading. I believe it would be better for this games health if masterworking required only obducite and gold, and tempering could stay the same cost-wise. Please Blizzard, make the raw hide requirements cheaper for masterwork and tempering, or just give us more ways to farm it fast.
You could also just give us more rawhide from breaking down legendaries…like why do legendaries give no raw hide? Breaking 8 legendaries gives 1 rawhide??? wutufuh lol…uniques give a bunch but legs give 0 lol
To reiterate, we should not be having to farm common materials for hours per day just to upgrade the gear we are spending billions of gold buying from other players.
For comparison: I’ve been capped on gem fragments since day 1. I have 36 rawhide to my name. Thanks!
