Do you guys actually retopologize rocks or just decimate from ZBrush? What's the best workflow?
I'm doing ZBrush -> Decimate -> DDO.

Does DDO Unwrap your lowpoly?
Normally I sculpt, decimate, clean up the topology and unwrap, then bake. Rocks are one of the few things decimation works pretty well on but I still normally have to do some cleanup.

For rocks, decimation usually works just fine. If it's a rock with some nice hard edges, that'll be seen up close, I'll manually retopologize in Maya.

Do i have to UV the high-poly as well, or just the low-poly when using xNormal?
