With the introduction of the new Outlands in Queen we've rebalanced resource distribution to match the new design of the Outlands. We've also incorporated some last minute feedback you gave on the test environment to keep some of the "large" gathering nodes in the game.
So what has changed?

Fiber

Ore

Rock

Wood

Hide in Forest and Swamp Biome
Tier 7: Feral Boar and Direboar
Tier 8: Feral Bear and Direbear

Hide in Steppe Biome
new Tier 6: Desert Wolf (replaces Rhino)
Tier 7: Rhino and Bighorn Rhino
Tier 8: Mammoth and Ancient Mammoth
So what has changed?
- What tiers of resources you can find in each zone based on the tier of the zone.
- Respawn-times of resources in the Outlands have been rebalanced.
- We have added new small nodes for Tier 7 and 8 which will not spawn fully charged but will take less time to respawn instead. (As previously, big nodes spawn with full charges.)
- If the old version of the hide mob dropped a mount, the new one will drop one as well. Overall mount drop rates should remain approximately as they were previously.
- Amount of Tier 7 nodes per zone has been increased.
- Amount of Tier 8 nodes per zone has been drastically increased.
- Tier 5 Zones will have resources of Tier 2, 3, 4 and 5.
- Tier 6 Zones will have resources of Tier 4, 5 and 6.
- Tier 7 Zones will have resources of Tier 5, 6 and 7.
- Tier 8 Zones will have resources of Tier 7 and 8.
