Quality Hides drop ratio increased?

[olderj]

Hey all. I'm new to the eqemu and the server. Let me tell you how happy i am to be playing classic EQ after 8 years!

I noticed that there seemed to be an uncommon number of High/Medium/Low quality hides dropping from the wolves in Misty Thicket. Is this normal? I probably looted 12 hides last night and only 2 of them were the "ruined" type (which i actually want...need to craft some newbie leather armor). Is this what you guys have been seeing?

Also i notice that all of the hides were non-stack able. Ouch!

Cheers,
