I'm really frustrated because i barely get any compound oils and stuff. I only get them about once in 30 kills. Just wondering if anyone is going through the same? And I'm farming the highest possible lvl ones according to pwdatabase

    u mean somethingg you need to craft for ur skills? - i dont got the skills

    u mean gear to wear ? - do quests and get free or AH

    everyone who is farming well bellow his level is experiencing the same. Farming low level stuff is low levels bussiness. Be nice to the low levels and pay them for their bussiness :)

    My tailor manufacturing skill is lvl 4. I need the materials to lvl it, which are leather, compound thread etc. ive been killing lvl 57 mobs which are a bit higher lvl than I am. So i shouldn't expect any problems. But the drops are just so rare :/

    What is your level? If your more than 3 levels higher or lower than the mob the drops get reduced.

    Sounds like you're killing Bloodshot Hexweb Master for oils, huh? Honestly, that's about the best you can do. But sometimes you have to make the choice between best drop rate and harder to kill, or easier to kill and lower drop rate. Luckily, the Venomtail Kings around there also drop compound oil, and are a lvl lower than you, so you can afford to kill those too for double the chances. :)

    There's not much you can do to improve drop rates besides hoping for 2x drops.

    An alternative is doing your daily Jolly Old Jones coin quests, and setting the coin aside to set up a shop buying crafting mats around West Archo's blacksmith (or wherever people tend to sell mats on your server). Buying in catshop is cheaper than buying from catshops. It would also fund repairs.

    Good luck!

    Yeah you don't have too..... You just have to do one of the following, buying the max skills from boutique, having others craft for you with your mats, buying crafted gear (there is a good charge for the crafting) or go without gear that needs crafting to make. (all end game gear)

    Having crafting skills is so convenient.

    g15>16 doesnt need crafting, neither does rank gear. for lower levels the market is overflowing with already made gear so it can be cheaper to buy ready. not sure but I wouldn't be suprised if the boutique box is near the price to level it manually. of course it's convienient to be able to craft it instead of waiting for a friend. but i'd rather wait b:cute

    TT99>g15 gear does require crafting though. I much rather be able to use my tt99 in the interium, and then just upgrade what I'm wearing later instead of having to rely on someone else to do it for me and either not wear it or buy a second set. : P

    well, personally i think that tt90 AA pants >> tt99 XD (also, there is the refine/shard loss). Anyway, that's why I said "for the record you don't have to" and not "stop stop you must not get them"; after all, someone should get them :b
