I skin a lot of things. Iron hide is not worth it to keep in your bags in most cases. It’s so cheep it’s worth more in time vs money to just drop 4000 iron hide on the ground and keep farming instead going to town to sell.
It’s too abundant. Needs scarcity.
How about, make iron hide drop in quantities of like 4-5 per mob, instead of 40-50. Immediately reduces the scarcity, makes ALL the leather harvested worth something.
You guys did a good job on making gold relevant (I remember throwing 1000s of gold ore out before). Let’s do the same with iron hide.
Yeah I’m not sure what the purpose of iron hide is at this point. I end up dropping a lot of it because it takes up so much space without any use / value (EDIT: for me)
It’s used to make smolderhide and scarhide, please if you’re not sure on it’s use you really should seek out an understanding before complaining about it.
The real “problem” from a game standpoint is that bots can farm it so easily that it sells for extremely cheap on the trading post, and so any level 200 tanner can EASILY make their 10 smolderhide and scarhide a day
Before the material conversion update, iron hide literally was useless and could be bought at 0.01 coin per hide. It now fluctuates between 0.1 and 0.2 coin on my server.
Far from useless, especially when you compare it to many other materials in-game.
It’s useless in the quantities it drops. I said “most cases”. Ie: take back 1 gathering batch of 4000 and youre set for eons… which takes about 20min to get, and you’ll literally HAVE dump the other 10000 you get while farming because there is no room for it (because of the way they chose to implement storage).
Dumping stuff in the 10s of thousands is the definition of useless. All you need is 5000 to do your daily legendary leathers…. Which by the way sell for 7-10 per so we’re talking 200 gold at the most.
There are a whole lot of people still skilling up, not everyone is at 200 and just using it for their daily legendaries. Maybe make material conversions a better option, but I don’t think it needs some artificial scarcity imposed.
That said, I misspoke about your crafting activities, so mea culpa on that one.
well i’m not a master tanner, and i don’t care to be, and selling so many iron hide for a fraction of a coin is not worth it to me. Holding onto it indefinitely until i might need it is not worth it to me. It’s just simply not worth.
