In the last three days, I've found the drop rate of this item to be almost vanishingly small from milling.
110 Icethorn - 7
95 Lichbloom - 6
80 Adder's tongue - 6
40 Goldclover - 3
Has anyone else noticed a decrease in the propensity of this item to be found in milling??
Also, the northrend card skill up has been less than stellar.

el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 11 months ago:There are also a few comments in the Elitist Jerks thread suggesting a change in the outcome from milling and prospecting (which based on the bugs, appear to share the same code-base). Hard to prove anything at this stage, but it looks like there may have been a glitch following the latest server restart, at least on some realms. Worth watching...
I haven't seen a decrease overall. I have noticed it to be more random though. There are times now where I will mill 40 adders toungue and get 1. The next time I do 40 I will get 8. You just never know what you will get. I have been getting Icy Pigment x3 on many mills recently. Maybe they are increasing the amount you get each time but decreasing how often you get them.
Its definitely lower for me, than it was a few weeks ago (around 3.0.3 release, give or take a couple days). But I have only kept actual stats over the last week.
198 total millings for 52 Icy Pigments (0.26 yield). I'd say at 50 stacks of herbs, this is starting to be statistically significant.
Yes, I have gotten 3 icy pigments form a single milling, and had a day where 30 millings yielded 13 pigmets (0.43 yield) - but this day was countered by two other days where I went 38:9 and 31:6
I have not collected enough stats "by herb type" to be statistically significant "by herb type", yet, but am working on that.
I'll continue to keep stats by day, so they can be reconciled by server restarts and/or patches and share when I find anything useful, or different.
