Cmon guys it is 2nd time you patching this and still cant farm it efficient, at first why to remove 800x from legion event that was smooth, now i tested ND and Tree of Whispers and cant get enought of them. I spended so much time doing diffrent activity to get 20k of them, just to realized that it takes literlly not even 2min to burn all of them without any resoults, on masterworking. We need this “Basic” material to drop in most places & when we doing most activities even on PITs… and before someone says its “Crying” imagine you are geared well from week on and cant masterwork single piece of gear becouse you constantlly lack of Rawhide.
PS im sorry for my bad english.

They intend to drip-feed it via several hotfixes.

string you along, so you maybe play another week instead of just throwing the towel.

We can never believe people have to quit because of these basic materials, but it’s actually happening now.

So, still not fixed?

well they did say they only fixed the auto-salvaged drops. So my best guess is if you need rawhide, go into the helltide and kill whatever and pray to RNGesus that you get the rawhide we all so desperately require. It may help to play with a Materials opal, especially in helltides.
But i totally agree its bull-
that we have to actually play menial content just because we need rawhide. They should have also upped the rawhide amount on regular item salvage. At this point, 1 piece of non-GA armor salvaged yields 1 rawhide… And every armor piece with 1 or more GA yields +30 rawhide per GA… That system sucks.
No let me rephrase that. The current diablo 4 dev team sucks. Totally ignorant and incapable. And the lack of feedback over all the complaints and broken stuff this season isn’t making it any better.

adding in here… I guess some people are saying NMD is 300 rawhide/run - I legit just did a NMD and got 100 ish. All they needed to do was improve the salvage equation and this would be fixed. This is quite honestly the stupid thing I’ve ever seen in a diablo game.

This will actually make me quit now… THEY BUMPED IT UP?? WHERE??
sPent 2 hours running an opal after the hotfix last night. Felt exactly the same. WHERE THE HELL DID THEY INCREASE IT?

LOL, now the devs even need to balancing materials drop in the game.
perhaps as a reference point, cut gems drop by -50%, apply this amended gem drop logic to rawhides.

I dunno why people have not figured this out… there are doing everything possible to slow people down in efforts to get them to play longer. They are trying to make people play full season because 2 months just isnt good enough for them. In effort to do that they make grinding materials hard. Weighted RNG to make you masterwork more. Weighted RNG just about everywhere else. Low drop chances. Low rolls on stuff that does drop. I mean 4 GA ancestral with bottom affix roll just lol. Made it impossible to max out your codex powers etc.
All this stuff is meant to keep you playing longer. Instead of just making the game fun so that people want to play longer. People played the hell out of season 4 and 5. That wasnt good enough for them. They juiced it just to get people to buy expansion. Now slow you back down like S1. Now over the course of this expansion they will gradually give small stuff back each season to try and drum up hype and get people back.

Instead of 5 when they drop from whispers, you get 10 at a time. I saw that today. Seriously? That is your idea of an increase. Typical corporate cheats.

Okay guys.
You NEED have a green Opal up to really see the changes from the event rewards, it doubles it.
Whispers give 200, chaos whispers give 800, greater whispers give 1000.
Realm walker goblins plus the realm give 600.
IH bosses and chest give 800 instead of 200.
Legions also give a bunch now but I didn’t check before the chest dropped.
After 2 hours I got around 10K with the Opal up the entire time.
It seems way, way better than before.

Even after masterworking several characters with my desired crits, I have yet to run into an issue of lacking rawhide. Keep an opal active and just play the game it there should be little problem. I think I’m still sitting on 60k++ with masterworking completed for now…
just make legion events great again… 900 rawhide per trip

I dont want to be rude but 10k in 2h is complete joke i spend now 70k rawhide without single “double hit on temper i need” so i can’t even imagine how i get 3/3. The biggest issue is that people who blast most time spend on hordes and pits and im also one of those people, so actually paragon 284 and playing for 2h for 30 second craft is not ideal game design in my opinion. Also most fun are pits at this point and there is no drop at all. Sorry for english its not my first language.

Your English is 
Things like this. And not letting us craft compasses so we now have to waste precious inventory space. And the nerfing gold earned in infernal hordes by 90%. Is why I doubt they actually play the game.
These are such obvious quality of life things that to make them as they are now just screams “we don’t play”.
I wonder who thought up “hey, you know what will really make gameplay enjoyable? Making them tediously farm for basic materials so it bottlenecks their gear progression!”.
Uhhhhh 70K sounds way too high.
It’s roughly 700 mats to go from level 1 to 8 plus a reset.
So you’re claiming that every double crit is taking 100 rolls from 1 to 8?
The mat costs to go from 1 to 4 is only 260, and usually once I’ve rolled the 1st crit it takes me no more than 10 attempts to get the second.
20K is probably the norm, the most I’ve ever spent is 40K.
70K sounds wildly ridiculous for a single double crit.
i just make it even i was doing 4x near 20k sesions and yes was so unlucky to not get single double, but did now 5th sesion and manage to masterwork 3/3 at first try thats wild.
I agree, this appears to be exactly what they are doing. Unfortunately, Blizzard is so out of touch with players to realize we would much rather have basic materials not bottle neck us compared to gear itself. This lack of rawhide has me logging out after a few minutes because I just cant deal with it any more… the fun is being sucked out of the game.

I don’t even understand the numbers they posted for drops. I’m running an obal in T4 and I have yet to get anything close to what they claimed would be dropped roughly.
