FINALLY. time for baggins
Great that itās been adjusted, but itās still too low in my opinion. Iām fully specced in drops and while I get an okay amount of standard weave Iām still getting very little dusk/dawn. As things stand itās still taking an enormous amount of effort to make a single Duskweave bag; Iām still not getting enough of either to hit the cooldown timers on Dusk/Dawnweave bolts, making them moot.

An hour of farming just now after todayās maintenance: less than 100 of each dawnweave/duskweave (30/30 textile treasures and 15/30 on each of dawneave/duskweave tailoring). Meanwhile, roughly 500ish weavercloth.
Genuinely an awful change considering they havenāt touched the spawn rate of mining or herbing nodes in the world which just leaves tailors out high and dry since weāre the only ones who can get cloth now.
What even was the point of this nerf?

Very anecdotally, I ran City of Threads with followers, and got
- Weavercloth: 27/21/19 (bolts: 5/10/5)
- Dawnweave: 7/4/4
- Duskweave: 1/2/3
I could certainly be doing more efficient things (Ara-Kara was much worse, most of the Nerubians there are beasts), but this doesnāt seem great.
I definitely got more dawn/dusk today, but even then it felt like I was getting far less cloth than usual. Ran every mythic today, hardly saw any cloth drop. Got a good chunk when it did, but man. I used to get cloth off almost every mob. Granted it was weaver, but Iām cool with that so I can flip it over to enchanting, but hopefully theyāre gonna tweak rates. At least weāre seeing them drop again.
I am still not getting a significant amount at all. I did a delve and a M0 and I got 4 duskweave. I also went and killed a bunch of humanoids in the world and got 0.
Iām not convinced its fixed at all.

It seems that thereās some kind of cap. The first things you do you get some cloths, then, absolutely no drops. just weavercloth Not as bad as it was but sure horrible
I did wonder if thereās some kind of cap / drop rate limiter, because I feel like whenever I log in and kill a pack of mobs, I get a bunch, and then itās a trickle. But if there is such thing, it must reset quickly, because I feel like I was getting drops throughout most of my City of Threads run recently.
While I am thankful the dusk/dawn weave is now dropping, I personally think itās still too low.
The other thing, and maybe this is a bit selfish, but as far as I can tell, we still havenāt gotten any acknowledgement about blizzās intent?
Is this actually a bug thatās slowly getting fixed or is this really how infrequently they want the cloth to drop?
Maybe they can add a firelight ruby bag for purchase from the wax vendor that has specialty cloth??

I did notice that cloth seems to be the only thing you canāt buy with the Firelight Rubies, which was kind of weirdā¦

Thereās also something weird about how sometimes Iāll do an entire dungeon or delve, and not get any of one of the specialty cloths. Low drop rate is one problem. Getting 40 Dawnweaves and 0 Duskweaves seems like a statistical anomaly - and one that seems to happen regularly. Which can make farming annoying (e.g. right now I want to burn my Duskweave cooldown, but Iāve getting nothing but Dawnweaves in the past 40 minutesā¦)
Oh, and the other weird thing, I think, is that Dawnweave and Duskweave get the rarity trifecta - not only are they inherently rarer, they also unravel into way fewer spools, and you canāt loot dawnthread/duskthread like you can weaverthread. Is all of this truly necessary?

I am not expecting to ever hear from them about it.
If it was a bug then they are like āyay we fixed itā, but they also donāt want to admit it was a bug.
If it was a number mash to try and get data on what drop rate to actually implement for the relative price they expected to see on AH, then it was never broken really. Just feels like they donāt know what the numbers will do until they try them and adjust from there.
My guess is it was a bug and they arenāt ever gonna own it.

My personal thought is that they messed up the primary loot table and removed cloth (as only tailors should see it) but also it ended up not doing a profession check to see if it should pick from the profession loot table for tailoring.

I did city of threads follower dungeon yesterday and got cloth drops, I got dawnweave & duskweave.
I did delves, dungeons, and 6/8 of the raid on normal last night and got exactly 1 duskweave.
Why are the rationing it so hard? This makes tailoring unworkable since everything requires such heaping amounts of it.
Regretting going duskweave tailor for spellthread now if theyāre going to keep it like this for the rest of the expansion. Will go another profession that easier to level and craft where the mats arenāt non-existent.

Yes, it seems they have updated this again.
Yeah IDK why they donāt just let it flow, we have a cooldown on using it anyway.

Problem is for all the work and literally clearing that whole place not sure if it was exactly worth it. I got a lot of the bolts, think like 6 pieces of dawnweave, and about 10 duskweave but I cleared every add in the place. But itās actually more than Iāve been getting anywhere else.
