Dsoma improvements

Author Content Date
I'm really enjoying Dsoma after coming over and giving it a try, but I do agree there are some glaring issues that could definitely need some attention.

I think the main one is what many have mentioned, the drop rate / loot tables in general. I haven't got to the stage where I'm hunting endgame upgrade items yet, but by all accounts it's pretty dismal. Poor rates coupled with a very low UC, means everyone is going to struggle. I think it could be upped to account for the disparity in players between Dsoma & Hsoma.

Even for players yet to reach that stage, I think the drop rates and the loot tables may need addressing. It seems like a lot of the drops are really not level-appropriate. Everything up to and including Supreme is fine, you can do quests that reward you with the gear you need, from hunting mobs you should be hunting at that time, great. But then it comes to the point where I simply can't hunt for the helm to complete the set. Making Supreme helms only dropped able from certain bosses, that sucks a bit for me, but hey ho...

You hit Supreme (minus helm) and then hit the proverbial wall lol. I'm around the level 70 mark, and I've hit the con requirement for Invul for a number of levels now, problem being I have absolutely no way of hunting for my next set of armor. Only being dropped by Mags means I'm essentially screwed lol. I'm still running around in Supreme armor and a Dread helm haha.

Serpent Shield is another one, boss only so essentially out of my grasp. It would be nice if they could add these things to say WBM, so people around that level can hunt for the gear they actually need. And maybe adding a higher tear of armor for the high level / capped players. It's sort of bitter sweet not being able to acquire Invul, cause when I eventually do, I'll know that I'm in this armor from 70-120 unless something new is added lol.

Slightly upped drop rate for upgrade materials at endgame, and it would be nice if they could maybe make an Invul helm to go with the set, and making the set droppable from WBM, while adding a higher tear set in. Also a Devil Hero set, equivalent to the Hsoma Hero set that requires essences would be awesome too, but these are just my pipe dreams lol

All in all I'm really enjoying Dsoma, and I feel like with a few tweaks it could be massively improved and might even make people more inclined to come over. Making for better RvR, WotW etc.

Aethion you can get the supreme helm from war beast miners, as for the invulnerability armour parts elite guards on hwan drop them.

Dosgardenias has done some threads with info on getting invulnerability armour check his hwan thread out :)

Don't get too excited - yes sup helms drop from wbm at a fair-ish sort of rate (except they're basically the only mob that drop) but as for invul from t18 mobs it barely drops at all and you're in competition from everybody else for these mobs which obv are only once a soma day plus people generally open the boxes to fuck the next person over so there will be 4-5 bosses milling about that 1-2 hit kill you amidst the only decent spawn of them.

Invul is basically impossible to farm until you can effectively hunt mags and unless you are an archer or mage forget about doing that solo.

It does seem unfair that dsoma top armour only has mags to gain from 24/7 and like you say mags can only be farmed with a range character archer, mage really. Hsoma has 2 spawns of hellish trolls 24/7 for there top armour.

Why is there no invulnerability helm??? Hsoma has a Titus helm, surely dsoma should have there top helm too.

It does seem like it wouldn't take anything huge to "fix" Dsoma, just the odd tweak here and there. Hopefully soon!

I tried my hand at some Elite Guard farming last night. Not sure if I just got lucky, but I was able to find some, while dodging some bosses lol. Boots & a top. Untagged. And both female (my character is male). So perhaps not all that lucky after all lol

I suppose it's at least something...
