Crude Iron RNG Problem

[PrvtEquity]

It appears that the odds to receive Crude Iron upon completing any stage have recently decreased significantly. I noticed the problem yesterday when I ran out of crude iron when trying to craft a tornado. It was the first time I have ever run out of any 1* (or 2*) crafting item. It was confusing b/c I don’t use them more than other crafting items and I don’t have similar shortages elsewhere. Also, I farm A LOT and buy every loot ticket package available, so it caught me by surprise. I spent some time farming in AR this afternoon and indeed it seems that crude iron is awarded FAR less than other 1* items. The only time I was able to get it was in Stage 12 (where it has increased odds of appearing). All other 1* items seemed to be awarded almost every time on all stages.

Not every one star item has the same drop rate. Common herbs drop much more often.

an interesting discussion

(Dropping rates of items has decreased- Constantly running out of Bones, Iron, Oil)

Crude Iron seems to be dropping less frequently than 2* or 3* crafting items as well.
