OK, something is getting funky here. We killed 50 GDK the other night and no GDK scales. I know that isn't the worst I've heard of...but our old record was a drop about every 15 to 20. Which seems to be the norm.
That isn't the weird part though...
GDK arent spawning 4 for us anymore...they are spawning one and then POOF...gone. They also have just been despawning on us in mid fight.
Lastly, the spawns of Kimongila around the volcanoe are not what they used to be. Was it a stealth nerf? WHATS GOING ON!??!

I was at a spawn the other day and it popped up 5 times for me. No stealth nerf as far asI can tell, probably just bad luck. My buddy has killed over 200 GDKs and never gotten a drop of scales.

i killed some GDK's only to loot refugular kimo scales,also the gurk king is bugged/nerfed,either u get the message you dont find anything of value on the selected corpse or u try and loot and u cant.also got this same thing with peko albatrosses.
so i think they basically nerfed RIS components

One scale set drop ever 200-300 GDKs isn't unheard of. In fact, that's how it normally seems to be. One drop every 15-20 GDKs would be insane. RIS would cost 250K a piece.

think of it like this... spawn rates may be up, but the same number of scales/bones are probably dropping per day. You can kill 100 harrowers a day now and not get a drop because they spawn so fast. In the old days, 5 or 6 hours with woolamanders would have been 4 or 5 harrower spawns, if that.

GDk scales should drop atleast 1 in 25, current drop rates are a joke - they are deliberately siphoning money out of the economy at a rapid pace and have stopped solo groups. Ris at 250k a piece sounds reasonable for where the economy is heading.

Well I would say that this problem is not just a result of this recent publish (12.1) becuase right after publish 12 I tried to get harrower bones for my RIS set and I spent about 8 hours running back and forth there and killed about 20 of them, only to find nothing. I too noticed this problem with looting, where you don't get the message all the time. Haven't killed enough GDK's to make a statement about them, but I definitely agree that something is up. Maybe they are removing RIS from the game for the CURB? But until I hear an official statement I'm giving up camping there for a while. There are things that are more fun to do.

quick question,, how the heck are you finding 50 gdk in one evening. i hunt lok daily and only find 1 spawn every 3-4 days?.. is there a "special" spot to find these critters??
