I will see how it works tonight but well now theres a reason to kill other monsters than galok 
Only recipes and mats will be removed according to their website.
I think the monster needs to give you EXP for it to give you loot.
Breaking Nwes: You can get mats in Uphill Defense!
I just found a golden mob in demon district, it drop 2 sesame and 1 chessnut for me.
I forgot to take screenshot, since there was a hint on the screen (small chatbox like thing on top of the mob) tell me to kill it to get reward. And unlike normal drop, it have an loot drop animation from the mob instead of directly go to your inventory like quest item (I may be wrong, I don’t have much luck on normal mob drop, only once)
Creating new char doesn’t drop any ingredients.
Got one jumbo dumpling recipe from normal mobs. Sadly i don’t even have enough ingredients to make one…
I just made x4 Jumbo’s within about 2-3 hours. Was getting roughly 20 Mats per hour farming high density zones where mobs were above my level.
Mobs below my level rarely gave me any mats (If any). It does seem the drop rate is mildly low
For 280’s:
You can solo Saalus with enough DPS/gear. 1 hr farming mobs that spawn every few seconds. Faster than soloing Maven or Worshop/Solitary Cells/Investigation Room.
Soloing Uphill defense is another option if you don’t have a team for it. Make sure to grab Squire foods before going in. Drop rate looks fair enough.

What map that spawn every few seconds?
Area of Ruins i’d say is the best one. (Dullahan)
So sick of people trying to convince everyone these drop rates are decent, they are rng, That means while you are getting 5 per hour, I am getting 3 per 6 hours, and no, I am not exaggerating. I currently have enough mats to make ONE HALF of ONE jumbo dumpling after playing the entire day yesterday, its broken as fk.

Same for me. Quested from 160 to 190 today and got 4 mats.
I believe one reason for low drop rates on field maps are BOTS, since these mats/foods are tradeable, they could stack a sh*t ton of 'em and save them for later. That’s why i recommend you to solo dungeons on your lvl range or plainly solo mercenary missions/Saalus/Uphill.
I agree with you though, that the drop rate on field maps is garbage.

That make sense now why the low drop rates, altough its a shame that once again thanks to bots the players are affected. now if we think about it future event that relies on drops from monsters on field gonna be the same trouble thus making these kind of events frustrating for players that cannot play more than 4 - 5 hours online.
they should have sticked to the same way with previous event, come to event notice board and get your stuff. untradeable with players but tradeable trough team storage.
or even better they should have to make the event like get the recipe for jumbo dumpling frm the notice board and kill certain monster family for the ingredients (like hunting season) craft your jumbo and wait for the next day, then make any field monsters to drop materials for the normal dumpling. that way you still get jumbo dumpling on fair way without too much trouble and people who just want normal dumplings can still get them.

I got no mats from 3 characters runs in daily missions, but I did get the jumbo dumpling recipe and a few mats while grinding with a party at Dina Bee. We all managed to get a few random food mats, but sadly not enough. I think we were grinding for ~2 hours.
I think I was lucky that I was in the level range for the bees.

got quite a few mats from running crystal mines and uphill defense
Its all the same story;
Player A can walk to his mailbox and get 7 materials
Player B can hitchhike from Connecticut to California and get 2 materials
Its by far the most useless/enraging event we have had. I want to stockpile jumbo dumplings for rank 8s increased level cap but I do no have an extra 6 hours a day just to farm the mats needed to make ONE dumpling, this is really upsetting, just forces more players to buy their xp tomes.
