Excerpted from the official release notes (http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Release_Notes_Update_10_Patch_1_Official).

Additionally, Eldritch, Crafting and other devices will pull required ingredients directly from bags when a recipe is selected.

Translation: If you fail the recipe, entire stacks of essences will be lost, not just the ones required for the recipe.

Many higher level crafting recipes have had their ingredients adjusted to make them more challenging to make.

Translation: You now must have access to certain packs to have enough favor for certain recipes, and some recipes require bound-to-account items. However, if you ask people to give you RL cash to buy the Turbine Points to purchase these bound to account items to craft for them, we will ban your account!

A new ingredient called a Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragment has been added to some high level crafting recipes. These fragments can be obtained from a crafting vendor in exchange for Eberron Dragonshard Fragments.

Translation: You can also buy these with tomes up to +3, which means that people in PUG groups will almost never pass along a tome they cannot use, but will instead keep it for crafting, thus making PUG groups even worse. Now by design!

Crafting ingredients are now generated separately from normal loot, and will no longer take up a normal loot slot in chests.

Translation: Crafting ingredients will not take up ANY loot slot in chests, because our implementation of this idea is so buggy, that they no longer drop at all. Enjoy!

Maybe they're only dropping in low level quests? I've done a reaver, shroud, and two epic dragons without seeing any, and the people in those raids were saying the same thing, that they had seen 0 essence drops today.

It is in BETA, I just hope early adopters are not the best people to have benefited. But I also hope early adopters aren't the first to be hit by major bugs.

Fingers crossed for a working balanced system. But Turbine has a history of not getting things right. Just look at the trap crafting.

Is that even in the game anymore?
