Drop rates - normal rates versus current increased rates

Author Content Date
"CHOPTIMUS""RNG".. but im sorry the RNG thats been put in place is broken.. Drops are still based on how much time u invest

the rng was supposed to be casual friendly, its the complete opposite.. it defo needs looking at.


The only way you can completely negate RNG is just removing mob drops and putting in repeatable quests for every desirable item. 1000 palus for and SD, 500 blg for a med ruby etc. Obviously that just sucks balls.

That being said though; we could certainly do with a few more repeatables.

It's impossible to balance someone who plays 5 mins a day to someone who plays 5 hours. Like everything, the more you put into it, the more you get out.

ive been asking for Repeatable mob kill quests with a choice of tab or gem for months... lol

but knowing how it goes it will be something stupid like 10k kills... which is DUMB. 2k is reasonable cuz of the time it takes to kill X amount of mobs.. even if ur geared up still takes time..

For those that feel the anvil is still harsh, last week I did a small test with the anvil....

Out of the 10 weapons I took with me to the anvil, I decided to just try the 3 epic pxbows and 3 epic stingers.

1 epic pxbow ripped going +3, another epic pxbow ripped going +4.

1 epic stinger ripped going +5

I came away with 1 epic pxbow and 2 epic stingers +5.

Now compare that to the larger test I did over a year ago with the old anvil when I took over about 28 weapons and a sack load of toes/fails

I came away with a freshly made +5 stinger and got a +3 snakebite to +5

So for my own personal feelings on the anvil, the new anvil doesn’t seem to bad compared with the old anvil. Yes I know it could just be rng, luck etc but I do feel the new guaranteed +2 is much better than the old system and gives you a better fighting chance of coming away with something if you go with more than 1 or 2 at a time.

The only way really you can take a trip to the anvil is if you take a large amount of items and you can only do that if the drop rates are like they were increased recently.

With the 50% increase and more time to play during lockdown, DD and TK dont seem that bad compared with no 50% (which was really bad)

But I agree that Junk Drops need to be looked at

For emaple imo at DD - HP pots, leather metal and bone. These need to be removed as these can be easily obtained from Mag Whelps, and if your at DD you can take on mags.

Dont know how the RND is coded, but hopefully removing a few drop will help obtaining other drops better.

Doubt anything will happen anytime soon.... a hour of editing drop files will fix this.. but it's farrrrr too much work to be implemented clearly
