Problem is the white scales. There's only two things that can drop it each week, and they both are not guaranteed to do so. I haven't been part of enough gorenaire kills to have a statistically valid sense for how often they do drop, but I wouldn't be suprised if there are only 20ish bards getting epiced each year, and there's probably more bards that that in the guilds that can often kill the things that drop it.

Every epic rarity is controlled by the longest respawning component. For a lot of epics, this is a 5 day or a 1 week. For the Rogue, its 10 hours. For the Bard, its multiple weeks, and for the mage I believe its 1/4 of however often Magi spawns as a mini (two weeks, three maybe?). Bard and Mage both have it very rough.
