Good info, but I kind of hope this isn't true.
I means some mega-camping is to come.
I've heard that the two arrow up stags in Arrow Wood drop good stuff - some people camp them with varying success (I want to try tonight).
Heheh, people already park alts in IoR and camp the gobs that drop the rare artisan recipe books (not insanely so, but I've already seen several people doing it).
Hopefully they'll spread out these drops so that mega camping doesn't occur - or - if they want to show us mercy - they'll amp up the #s of mobs dropping the things we need (there is an advantage in knowing where things drops - so you don't mindless kill all over creation for something you badly want). I bet they'll make some long, involved quests as alternate approaches for players who want these rare drops - and that might actually be a good thing. Good luck all!
