Unless, I’m missing something…
I think this is going to become a major issue that requires a patch fix, like they just did on angelsbreath and forgotten souls a couple days ago. Strangely, I don’t see many people complaining about it yet, other than a Forbes article from a few days ago outlining this exact problem.
Forbes Article TLDR: Rawhide is bottleneck, it has been since V of H Beta testing, still not fixed.
Last season you could do a 3 min legion event and get ~900 rawhide. Now it’s like 10 rawhide per legion. It takes almost a 1000 to masterwork an item, let alone re-rolling to get the buffs you want. The best event I’ve seen for collecting raw hide are whisper caches. But they only give about ~110 per whisper cache which is ridiculous considering the time it takes to acquire whispers.
I’ve literally salvaged All gear from this season, sold nothing, do all of the different events regularly, completed the dark citadel co-op triad, you name it. I have masterworked very minimally. Even now my stuff is only 4 or 8 out of 12, I’ve barely re-rolled anything. I didn’t even realize it, because I’ve had no issues in previous seasons, but I burned through my rawhide ‘nest egg’ from all the non-stop salvaging from early game and now basically can’t masterwork anything and can’t find any reasonable way to acquire more.
I have: 10K Iron Chunks
14K Obductite
1K forgotten souls
5K Bundled Herbs
10K Veiled Crystals
3K Baleful Frags and Coiling Wards
1.5K Angelsbreath …ETC.
8 RAWHIDE, yes Eight…
Utterly bottlenecked with Rawhide!
Would love to hear if someone has a fix for this. I paused Rob2628 latest video on his Spiritborn 1.5 trillion hit and he had like 20K+ rawhide (like I did last season). How is he getting that? Considering all of the masterworking he must be doing to get those perfect rolls? Where is the honey hole!?
All ears for a fix on this.
