[quote="PATHOLOGIST"]I dont understand this 'low drop rate is good for economy' concept. I've done 4 levels on Rotting corpse which is meant to drop spiked armour, which will allow me to go to my next monster. But I've not got a single drop in 400% and now I cant progress. The argument is that the economy will be better if things are rare, but Ive only found 3 weapons from them, only 1 of them has a tag, and that tag gives it more dura, and its a staff. Talk about not thinking it through. Now to buy a pair of spiked, people are trying to charge 30-40k for each item, by level 20 you dont even have 30k, let alone 90k/120k just for your basic armour. Could somebody explain this logic, and if the argument is 'longevity' or 'we did it on esoma' then you dont know what you're talking about, and ill explain if thats the case.[/quote]

[quote="JARAGOONDOO"]I think you just got a bit unlucky; I got an average of 3 items (spiked) there per level. After 3 levels I had a full set (and then some). Who's trying to sell spiked for 40k a piece? I got my dread for that much, and only mages can farm monsters that drop those (so naturually the high price).[/quote]

[quote="REPEDE"]Is it really that bad?[/quote]

[quote="SMUDGE"]Mate I've done one lvl there and got 2 sets of male and female spiked boots, and female spiked pads. Also i made over 10k in one hunt there after a re stocked pots and repairs. With green gem drops and such. Honestly don't understand how people don't have enough money on dsoma I'm lvl 19 and have well over 60k from just selling items from hunts. Maybe try hunting mobs at your lvl and not progressing so fast on mobs you need to hammer pots on, i didn't move from scythe until i started lvl 19 with archer... The more mobs you can take at a time and kill faster actually = faster lvls, instead of potting like mad to kill one mob that takes 5 mins [/quote]

[quote="PATHOLOGIST"]Im 19, and corpses have been doing min dmg to me for the past 2 levels, Im still yet to see anything of value or any use drop from them. I don't hunt things which require hammering pots, I hunt the things which im supposed to hunt according to my stats and the armour I should be able to wear. Apparently they drop spiked, and according to some of you, its not that rare, but 4 levels now, and not a single item...[/quote]

I've touched on drop rates and also stats required for items. [/quote]

[quote="SMUDGE"]Wasn't meaning to have a dig at you before mate just going off my experience, i have found it rather easy making money on this server though[/quote]

[quote="SLAYER"]drop rates are poor espeically fi you unlucky with drops like myself, sned me ap m, im sure i can sell u some spiked cheaply[/quote]

[quote="AZUMI"]This seriously needs looking at especially for mid-ranged weapons. Drop rates on 55 skill weapons are still shockingly low, I don't believe a 61 skill weapon has even dropped yet? High end weapons are dropping far more frequently, how can this be justified? I'm sorry that it might seem like this is a constant moan but the fact is everyone is getting way way above their requirements which means weapons then become useless. Surely issues of this nature should have been ironed out on the test server rather than going into the live server. 67 Skill Knuckles can be worn by any knuckler regardless of str/dex where as other users are having to gain well upwards of 70 skill before they can even wear 67 skill items, this is a fundamental advantage gained by them that was reported 3 days ago and still hasn't been fixed. Drops are just shocking in general and an overhaul really should have been looked at before the live server. Bottom line is the weapon drop issues: Weapons 55 & 61 skill should drop far more frequently. Take the drop rates of poison plants on Earth Elementals, this is the rarity i'd expect these items to be dropping at. Darian drop more than 15 items in total according to the armory, except there appears to be only one spawn of these, do the other items actually drop anywhere because as mentioned above, none at all have dropped as far as i'm aware. Its completely demoralizing playing this game when you're expecting to have to hunt 5+ levels at low level to get one item.[/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"]I'm in agreement that the 67 skill knuckle should have a requirement just like everything else. As for the lack of weapons and such I won't lie it does suck but it is capable to level with what you have even if it's slightly slower.[/quote]
