Thread: Does hide and bone quality still change when resources shift...

I will never forget when I spent about4 days collecting huurton hides. I collected 20,000 hides for an armor smith friend who was paying really well. At the time the hide had a 985 OQ and was great stuff. I collected all the hide I needed, sent him a tell saying it was ready for delivery. He was tired and ready to log off for the night so we would do it the next day.


Next day turns out to be a big patch day. Not a problem I thought... we will just make the exchange later. Log in a few hours later and my precious hide, all 20,000, had dropped to about 540 OQ and the rest of the stats were garbage. That was the last day I collected bulk orders for hide, and I'm stil hesitant to start again.


So does this still go on?

Yikes. AFAIK, the resources you've harvested don't change, just what is on the creatures. I've got lots of stacks of old hides and meats, old as in months.

Also, FYI, Dant wooly really sucks right now.

Yes I have had the same problem. Usually I have a list of hides, meat, and bone and the animals that I take them off of. They have all changed, at a resource shift not only does the type of hide change but the stats also change. This makes it hard to go back and hunt the next day or go back in a couple weeks because you though that it would still be the same type.

you know, i havent had that happen to me. Last week i was on rori hunting for wooly hide and dropping shallow tortons like crazy. I collected over 30k hides. Then the resource shift happen. I collected 10k more hide, but it collected in a different stack leaving my high quality stuff unchanged.

Interesting...



  • This could have happened because of the Big Patch, some mistake while they were updating the database for the new server code.

All I can say, is that it is not supposed to happen.



  • I hope you used the/bug to report the stat change (perhaps also giving the unique name of the resource in the process).
