I noticed this as well. I’m at the point in leveling my furnishing where I’d really like to use those recipes too.

Such a bummer! I really like the look of these and have been scouring the market every day hoping to find one. Hope they fix this soon.

BUMP - Developers any feedback please

The White Oak schematics are included in the same bucket described in this post. All of the White Oak schematics have the same drop rate. (To sum it up, there’s a 0.0000724637681% chance of getting it when opening a elite chest in Brimstone Sands.)

It likely drops but at a hilariously low rate.

(thanks @jesspacito from the nwdb discord!)

Even if they dropped that rarely they would show up on the TP at least once since BS went live. Someone would be using the schematics. There’s nothing.

Dude, if the chance is 0.000007%, to have a 7% chance of it “appearing in the TP”, would require like 1 million Elite chests open…those chests have a 24h cooldown…and there are maybe 1k-2k players on the server…so…no…they would most likely NOT be showing up on the TP…

Following on to your point: Saying that White Oak pieces would show up on TP if they dropped is ascribing behavior to players., and that’s always tricky Just because someone gets a schematic doesn’t mean they automatically list it on the TP, or learn it and start crafting it. See a lot of Rustic Wooden Scrollcases cluttering up the TP? Can’t say that I have, but I’ve seen the schematic listed a number of times.

There is a 1/1,380,000 chance of hitting the a specific “White Oak” schematic. There are 9 total White Oak schematics in the loot table. So that means we should see one every ~150,000 Elite Chests opened. If we assume that 1k players are looting 10 Elite Chests a day in Brimstone, it should take 15 days before someone gets one. But we shouldn’t be surprised if it takes longer. And because the schematics don’t identify themselves as higher tier, someone may have “learned” the recipe, but not have their furnishing high enough to craft it, since the lowest level White Oak takes 153 furnishing. Or the schematic may have gotten dumped in a bag clearout of song sheets and other schematics that accumulate. I check my schematics religiously, but maybe not everyone else does. Or maybe someone somewhere found one and decided they wanted to keep it to themselves, so that they can be the only one with those pieces for awhile.

Lots of options, but saying something this rare isn’t dropping because it’s not showing up on the TP (schematic or finished piece) is just false. They’ll show up eventually, but they’ll probably be just as rare as the goldfish, bonsai centerpiece and all of the other furniture from this insane loot bucket. I’m more concerned because the pieces are ugly. I want to see some of the Mediterranean and Lazulite pieces start showing up.

I really hope they can do something to fix this theres no point in having them in the game if they never drop

There’s also walnut furniture drops that are not dropping. I checked NWDB, none of the white oak or walnut stuff have been up for sale on ANY server.

This just showed up on Nysa today. So confirmation that the schematic does drop.

I have two white oak recipes, fwiw.

I just bought this on the CoS trading post.
