Well one thing to remember with Mage words is Magicians usually only have 1-2 words per level because the pet spells usually use the same word.

Enchanters, Necros and Wizards generally have 6-7 page components per level.

If you're including the Mage non-word pieces (Ice of Velious, etc.) then the drop rates should be more even.

The suck is that you need 1 of the words x 5-6 per level. Whereas all the other classes only need 1-2 of each.

Yep, I thought about all that, just didn't convey it. Thanks! As for non-word pieces; Yes, that is very correct. The drop rates on those is decent enough for me NOT to post a concern about them.

Your point is right on about the pages. Yes, there is generally 1 word per level needed, if not 2, but in some cases you need several of those words. I still think there is a bug or the drop rate is off for Mage Words, possibly.

Example for multiple words needed for tiers of pet spells: Water pet from 39 to 49. 3 total pets. All of them have to be researched. You need 3 Words of Convocation, 2 Incarceration and 1 Bondage in order to make the level 39, 44 and 49 water pet, that is no failures.....
