Hopefully it's not just me...

My first "money" hunt since the patch and I'm only getting ONE unit of hide per mob Ikill - anyone else getting this? It's saying the mob is "skinny"...which is odd because I used to get at least 10 hides per kill.

Yes, I know babies yield less...but these are the same mobs I've killed over and over again over the last few weeks in order to make a meager salary for the sale of their hides.

Any help?

This only happened to me once, but there was a time on Tatooine when I was just working on my scouting xp, killing those little dragon type creatures (forgot the name ) you find with the worrt's just outside Mos Espa, I got that same message over and over, the creature was skinny, getting 1 hide, meat, or bone from it.

I figured that maybe it was just that species because everything else was harvesting for normal hides ect. This was pre patch btw, but I doubt that they nerfed harvesting to 1 hide per creature, that seems random to me...

this is due to a "resourse" shift. you get more hides, etc. when the creature is fat and healthy and a couple of other sayings like medium sized. try a different resource on those creatures or try harvesting different creatures.

Sorry I should have said bug...it was late when I posted...

Yes, I tried to harvest another similar con animal with a different hide and received a good amount from it...I guess that makes sense that there's a resource shift for creatures, but at the same time, that's quite annoying considering they don't have a consistent spawn location.

I don't think it's just hides effected. When I saw the new 'giant gnort' etc. I laughed, then killed it thinking massive amounts of resources to follow right? I played for an hour, and EVERY single giant gnort, giant chuba, etc that I harvested from (trying both meat and hides) I got the 'skinny' message. I'm all about diversity of resources, but that was a bit rediculous.
