    Doesn't really help you since you're already doing it but I've just been doing saga and then picking end reward for whatever I need more of.

    All Dino crafting mats unbound, so best and fastest way to farm it just check your server ASAH regular.

    Other than selecting ingredient on saga list, don't think so. I've just been spamming saga in full groups. Great RXP on top of ingredients.

    2box I can stomach and hold instance open, but anything more then 2 I find too tedious and feel like turning off and playing football manager instead

    Isn't it interesting how all bone mats are used equally and are supposed to be weighted to drop equally, but don't?
    If I can read the dev tracker, you can too.

    Yeah, for me (farming regularily on 3 different chars), most common to most rare seems to be Raptor > Triceratops > Pteradon > Ankylosaur

    Maybe just anecdotal. Or it depends on specific chests ?

    Statistics is indeed a very interesting science.

    For me Triceratops was beyond rare, to the point where I had about 1,000 of everything else long before I had the 50 Triceratops horns needed to make a single item.

    Of course this is just a statistical improbability. Obviously everything is weighted correctly and my 2,000-ish chest-pulls simply represent a normal statistical improbability. Is it the exact same improbability I can reliably re-create with any chest in the game? Of course! But there's obviously nothing wrong. Nope.

    Are you avoiding certain quests or farming only specific quests? What chests are you farming?

    I'm not 100% sure on this so someone correct me if I am but doesn't each quest only drop certain ingredients and not a chance at all 4 base ingredients? If you are only farming specific ones that could be why. I don't think all 4 base ingredients can drop in every IoD quest.

    I have roughly about an equal amount of everything except Tyrannosaurus Teeth (as that's wilderness and saga reward only) and I've been spamming the saga mostly so I've been running all IoD quests an equal amount of times.
