I've found the exact opposite. The lower level the area the easier it is to gain the rarer material. I can run snake skin on normal and still get them 80% of the time. I'm now at the same point as the person who posted this. Wriggling roots are a nightmare to get, I'm doing it on valour - epic there seems to be little difference between the drop rate. I'm close to having enough for the + version. I've been grinding it so long that I have the big four maxed out and I'm level 70 :-/ Just keep at it and follow the advise the first person posted as best as possible.

The + version of these armours are stronger and much easier to level than the  4 star normal gear dropped from defeating the special boss, so they're worth getting.
