Honestly guys I don't think the drop rates are any different from blue. With only my memory and anecdotal evidence, I can tell you that the materials are hard to come by. I found most of my mats on blue from dumpster diving.
Words of Coercion and Convocation are particularly rare there, and I never really found a good place to farm Convocation. I know they drop from mobs around level 45-47. I don't recall anything about Coercion because I zoomed through that level range. Pretty sure I just used the vendor pets for 29.
As for the gloves, ice, breath etc they drop off high level mobs as well, and after a point the server will be saturated with them, just like on blue. All this being said, mage research is definitely the hardest in my opinion.
