Resource Drops: Constant or Variable?

I am wondering if resource drops from mobs are constant over time/VUs, or if they change.

for instance: atrox drop thin wool. have they always dropped thin wool? will they always drop thin wool? has this ever changed?

fauc drop purple paint… do they always drop purple paint, or does it switch from mob to mob? im not talking about items like armor, only resources.

the reason i ask is because i would like to do something like ‘zaps loot table’, but for resources only. ‘i need fine hide, im going to go hunt allos because i know they drop it’ kinda thing. if resource drops can change, then it would be hell trying to keep this updated.

any input would be much appreciated.

I am not 100% sure about resources, but MA has stated that no items (or resources I guess) will ever be removed from a mob’s droplist. So in theory that should mean that the resources in loots do not change. Though I have not hunted in a very long time so I cannot really confirm this.

About faucervix. When I hunted them like a years ago or so they dropped purple, green and uhmm yellow(?) paint. So I don’t think that has changed.

EDIT: Or maybe it was pink instead of green. :rolleyes:

you was wright fauc droped both , pink and purple

about loot , they change in time.
this mean something that drop now can stop drop for 1 week ,1 month , 1 year.
it can drop back too..
take something like zap drop table and you see by your self.

MA own the game and can change what ever they whant when ever they whant.
about MA statement… i had hear a lot about them , but i havent really read them , its like MA own policie , i had often read marco say :
this or that is against our policie so we dont do… i never see that policie… so how to know.

yes i agree that amounts differ… like i havent seen a bery or longu drop skin since ive been around, but i know they do…

my main concern is whether one day fauc drop purple, and another day atrox drop purple. if thats the case, theres no point in adding resource drops to a mob list, because it would be near impossible to keep it up to date… in which case zap’s loot table would be the best way to do it, where community members are reporting what mobs drop what, depending on the VU.

deppend how you look at the problem.

let take shadow arness it droped from trox , then hogglo , then aurelly (or kreltin) well , this mean item can change on mobs… but maube in 1 year you get shadow again on trox who know…
there is nothing shure… and evrything can change.
that mean at eatch VU you have to verifie what still drop and what stoped.
anso exist item that drop for only som day and stop for month…
keep in mind with MA you never know , MA change often evrything , then player do not get habbit , and must adapt.
skill , craft , bp , ore , enmater , drop , item …
