[quote="SILENCE"]Eventually on ESoma an INT monster was added after NM that was huntable around 130 int and the drops it had were the same as BLG. You get the impression that isn't going to happen on this server for a good while, so were stuck with some very real problems: a) Nightmare drops are almost the same as Prism b) Top Magic monster drops are awful compared to the Top melee monster I'd suggest: Removing Frogs/Jades from Nightmare Adding Tablet of Wisdom/Clean Tablets/Med Emerald with Golden Mushroom/Egg Pile/Med Ruby like drop rates Adding Med Diamond with Del Tab like drop rates [/quote]

[quote="FUJITORA"]Definitely agree with this. Currently nm drops are just pants (In more ways than one) Unfortunately very few people hunt nms currently so i doubt we will see many people write on this post, but it deserves to be looked into by GMs atleast.[/quote]

[quote="ZYZZ"]Agreed. Compared to BLG drops, Nightmares suck.[/quote]

[quote="ACE"]does need changing, the thing that annoys me the most are the jades -.- swap them for dias atleast [/quote]

[quote="FUJITORA"][quote="ACE"]does need changing, the thing that annoys me the most are the jades -.- swap them for dias atleast [/quote] Whatever is done needs to be thought out carefully tbh if something like his is done, diamonds will be so common (Currently they are way too rare, i have heard of people who hunt palus/df getting diamonds) Im all for nms dropping diamonds but needs to be at a reasonably low drop rate as there will be loads of people hunting nms for a very long time. Similar drop file to blg possibly, would like to see them dropping ToW / clean tablets maybe at a low drop rate, they are an int mob, so why shouldn't they drop int stuff too?[/quote]

[quote="FLICKTHEBEAN"]Not yet near hunting them, but agree with origional post.[/quote]

[quote="FUJITORA"]Small note any changes if made, should be made to the VOD spawn, the abais spawn is pretty terrible and nobody really hunts those...[/quote]

[quote="CHILLZ_MK2"]SInce Diamonds are supposed to be rare... doesn't it make sense that you'd have to go hunt a different mob like DF or Palus? Stop asking to be spoon fed.[/quote]

[quote="SHATTERSTAR"]While I do not hunt Nightmares or such yet, I will do in the future and would like to point out the following. By making the optimal mobs to hunt drop the items needed to upgrade your character you are making the game very one dimensional. Variety is the spice of life and while it may be best for your character to hunt a mob for an item you are effectively making some mobs redundent by changing drop files to suit what is needed. If all the drop file get changed you may as well just make 10 mobs in the game with drops to suit and place them at various spaces on the maps as it seems you are effectively asking for everything from one spot. A bit of diversity keeps the brain from getting bored and high end drops should be rare and should be spread out around the various mobs in game. [/quote]

[quote="STU"]You should have to sacrifice stats for drops. This goes foe devils too.[/quote]

[quote="S0RCERER"][quote="STU"]You should have to sacrifice stats for drops. This goes foe devils too.[/quote] I disagree. There should simply be options on what to hunt.[/quote]

[quote="SILENCE"][quote="STU"]You should have to sacrifice stats for drops. This goes foe devils too.[/quote] For the last month or so people have wanted to sacrifice stats for drops by going to Nightmare, they were never given that choice. [quote="SHATTERSTAR"] By making the optimal mobs to hunt drop the items needed to upgrade your character you are making the game very one dimensional. [/quote] Frogs already do that. As things stand, even if you wanted to choose Accuracy/Speed upgrades over Evasion you can't, which means everyones going to be running around in Eva sets for the next couple of months.[/quote]

They dont have to drop everything, they dont have to even drop them very often, but people doing int shouldnt just be only getting only frogs from 70 int onwards.[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]I'm all for removing frogs from NM and replacing them with other, more suitable items. Especially with upgrades a good variety is always nice.[/quote]

[quote="IPHIOS"]agree ;o [/quote]
