I've had a fair amount of recent experience trying to get a Dragonskin from the hideout in Kaede. I've killed the boss many, many times with a character ranging from as far as 4 levels below the boss, and come up with squat.
I ended up buying a Dragonskin, so this is not about me needing one, but something seems funky there. I remember being able to work a hideout with a character as close as two levels under the boss and nabbing the top drop with one to five attempts. It seems this is still the case in many other hideouts, but for some reason, Kaede is different.
I've heard tell that getting the Dragonskin is possible in Kaede using a character level 11 or lower, but this seems totally ridiculous to me. For a level 11 to make it to the bottom of the hideout, let alone kill the level 17 boss is completely impossible without assistance. I see this as a serious problem, because it means that a new player without faction ties stands no chance of getting this item.
