Ne1 else having the worst trouble trying to find good quality resources to make heavy weapons with? Rhodium steel is a joke, copper is crap and even irolunn gas is very rare atm.
Maybe i'm just not looking in the right places, so if anyone has a wp to a vendor on Ahazi, let me know
Rhodium steel is only required if you're making advanced barrels because in most cases the barrels are no better DPS wise, I tend to ignore it. There have been some AMAZING coppers in the last 2-3 months.. Duragop, Picami, Eovor.. and three different spawns of Diatium. There's also a current spawn of Irolunn that's worth harvesting.
First suggest as a WS is if you want to have any kind of reasonable profit margin on Ahazi? Mine your own stuff there are fairly few sources of resources outside of the big 2/3 vendors and the prices for resources seem to be quite big atm.
Secondly, ask around. Alot of the Ahazi smiths are nice folks and will let slip a bit of this or that to help you along. You may be getting the third bets spawn? But with some things like Irolunn the third best spawn isn't that far from the best, and for stuff like Diatium the third best spawn makes the same quality component as the best does.
