[quote="PROMETHEUS"]So far we have been hunting shironim at every given chance killed him way over 40+ times the only epics that have been dropped is devil helm and a close helm only 2 epics 90% of the deaths are just untagged stuff is this the drop rate you had in mind for him or is it low?[/quote]

[quote="RELINA"]do a search, s0rc has brought this topic up before seems to be luck of the draw and the silly closed helm doesn't help any matter[/quote]

[quote="TRICEPTIMOUS"]as Relina says s0rc has brought this topic up before. But also, fair enough I dont play dsoma, but I dont really get how you can complain at a boss which spawns *once every 4 hours* (maybe wrong) . At the end of the day, its a boss, which has a chance of dropping something. Better than the usual 4day long spawns of usual boss'. [/quote]

[/quote] Noone would mind if spawn timer would be increased after an update to the mob. It doesn't drop 1 handed weapons and those helms are quite common so really they're just a nuisance (that's 4x chance on a useless item). He also drops Serpent Shields which aren't spectecular also but they're somewhat nice at least so we can live with that (shiro is our only source too). Imagine Pamoth dropping gold/bood helm, plate helm (m/f) as well as 2x tower shield (m/f). Would you ook forward to one of those?[/quote]

[quote="PROMETHEUS"]It gets expensive hunting shironim he's a tough cookie, it annoys me when people keep going on about bar sinks unless you farm minotaurs for a very long time you dont make a ''tonne'' of money. Now that special gems are to be used for crafting i make next to nothing in profit from hunts and then you have gvw/wotw/ss/pvping that burns through your pots as a devil and its extremely expensive, so yeah there's only so long we are going to last before we all go broke and i can assure you not many of us have much cash left so i made this post so i can get an idea from sylver if this is normal for shiro. thanks[/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"]Old news this topic has been discussed into the ground lmao.[/quote]

[quote="HOJO"][quote="CARNAGE"]Old news this topic has been discussed into the ground lmao.[/quote] No harm in re-raising it since it is still an issue. I am still hopeful for a decent drop and that will make it all worth while, but seeing close/horned helms drop is a bit of a mockery considering the floor is littered with them in the next room, discarded drops from mobs that do 1 damage naked. I can understand the reluctance to increase the % drop of epic+ items because the timer is so short, but I do have to agree the ratio of rare/epics for a costly boss to kill seems like it might benefit from some sort of revision, in whatever form you see fit (be that extended timer/loot table revision/increased drop rates/increased barr drops/higher max possible item drops/lower chance for untagged items/etc...) It's all well and good to say you can't see how we can complain, but with the rates as they are the short timer only means more frequent expense with little to no reward. At the moment I'm barely breaking even from hunts now we're more actively hunting bosses, but nothing has really made it worth the effort yet - I know that is our choice to do, but I'm sure you can appreciate the frustration at millions spent on pots and an epic horned helm to show for it.[/quote]

[quote="MONSTER"]Hate to say it, but i was the first one farming this and gave up long ago, abit off topic but i think something needs to be done about supreme/invuln, remove them helms and add invuln to shiro and maybe its worth it then, elite guards are horrible i can understnad them on esoma when u only need 1 top/pads/boots, but trying to get something tagged with those is rediculous with the amount of people tryin, or add it to wbm (there drops are pretty lack luster, a diab helm and a swifthand)[/quote]

[quote="HOJO"][quote="MONSTER"]remove them helms and add invuln to shiro and maybe its worth it then[/quote] this is a very good idea[/quote]
