On Antonia Bayle server we've run out of Saguaro roots, and people I've talked to can't seem to harvest any more.  There were two on the broker yesterday (for 2 plat each!), but none today.  I harvested 500 succulent roots in SS yesterday, and no Saguaro.  Are people seeing this on other servers?  Has something gotten messed up in the code?

<p>I haven't looked at the broker for them, but I have done some harvesting in T6 recently, and received no root rares at all.  Got loam, ore, wood and hide rares, but no roots.</p><p>My guild is only just getting a couple of people in T6 atm, so I haven't done more than a few minutes here and there lately.  I'll keep an eye on it.</p>

I harvested a Saguaro root day before yesterday on Lucan.  The roots are a rare find as it is.

I got one last night in SS. I know the devs were/are modifying the code to make roots a little more common in SS although I dont think that change has gone live yet. I definitely have not noticed anything different in the drop percentage of rare roots since the last LU. May just be a streak of bad luck. Could also be that fewer people are harvesting them now with the impending expansion so not as many on the broker. Only the devs know for sure and at times that is even questionable...LOL

On Vox I harvested 49 T2 rares the other day and not one rough coral.  Maybe some code is going through.  On a side note Quenos side had over 150 of them up for sale and cheapest on Frepport was 76 gold.. probably due to none being harvested up.

<p>I have picked up 5 or 6 Saguaro Roots the last couple weeks harvesting in SS. Boxing a group of three and harvesting for several hours per day.  I am not selling any of my harvests because I am leveling a woodworker and a Tailor through T6 so I am needing lots of roots and pelts.</p><p>They are still dropping it is just a really tough harvest because everybody cherry picks the roots. When you go through the zone there are only a couple of roots to harvest. You pretty much have to clear all the nodes so some roots will spawn.</p>

I also got 3 ironwood and 1 alkaki loam.  So, I believe there is something wrong with Saguaro only.  Nimbus and figwart roots are plentiful and cheap on the AB broker
