Hey just to put some figures out there for people to consider.

The think the rare tao demon books in Hyunmoon temp have a drop rate of 1 in 15000

As a tao in there, as the mobs currently are i can kill 70 per hour solo,

I have 100% drop rate buff so the book drop rate falls to 1 in 7500

This would therefore take me 107 hours on average to get a book.

However the books have a chance to fail, lets say 50% meaning to get my 2 spells i need 4 books.

This would equate to 428 hours of farming.

This would mean 10 weeks of solo hunting in the cave to get my spells on average.

If I hunt with a group i can increase my kills per hour to say 2x however this would not be all the time and roughly 50% of the time so this would take my farm time down to 7.5 weeks if i grouped half the time.

Then theres the chance i could buy a book or a guildie could get one and give me it, lets say this also takes off 2.5 weeks of farm time.

Overall the means its gonna take the average tao at least around 1 month to get his much needed spells in order to progress any further.

1 Month of hunting in the most aids and cancer ridden cave in the game.

Obviously RNG might be kind and you might get it after a week, on the other hand RNG might suck and it might take 8 weeks.

To ease the pain a little could you make the cave more practical for tao's to hunt in, possibly by reducing some resistances (what about removing the dark resistance) to increase our kill speed a little and give us more of a chance?

Thanks!

It would take you 107 Hours MAXIMUM to get a book, not average lol.

Yes, the cave is aids lol. But to change it NOW would be unfair to those who actually have spent weeks so far, grinding for those books.


Supposedly Lair will make it a bit more friendly for farming the books, but will have to wait and see what it's like on Monday on reboot.

Why is it maximum? If something has a 1 in 10 chance chance of dropping u could get 10 of them out of 10 kills or none of them out of 100 kills, i thought this would make 1 in 10 the average?

Or do you mean because of the guaranteed drop?

Also, i doubt you would hear any complaints whatsoever about changes to make this cancer cave slightly easier to hunt in.

What I will say is I bet in a month or so this thread will be pointless. I expect a lot more books for sale as the players progress into the game. I expect the lower taos will be able to buy the book long before they could get it dropped.

Look at defiance all the warriors were going mad for 2 weeks. Now everyone can easily obtain it at 33.

Standard gamer behavior. Frankly the guaranteed drop makes it far easier to get than it would normally be, so I can't see Jamie changing anything.

Took me 6 days to get my full Vigor set in RMV which would be classed as a must for all Sins, I don't think up-to a month is overly unreasonable for high level spells... although you say you need it to progress? What will you be able to do tomorrow if the books were to drop that you couldn't do today?

If that book is so hard to get, i don't want to imagine how hard it will be for someone to make it lvl 4.... As i'm farming books since the last reboot where you have to use another book for a chance to get lvl 4... i'll be honest i don't know how many books i have used but i didnt get any skill to lvl 4, farmed most of them, bought some more out of frustration and hope to get my skills to lvl 4 but no luck lol xD , i don't wanna imagine how will i get lvl 4 to a skill that drops 1 in 1 month haha ( or maybe it's not ment to be lvl 4 )

Or you could kill 3 mobs and get 3 books.

Its mir , learn what RNG means and how it applies to the game

the books are dropping so obviously not that difficult , it’s a ****ing amazing spell so expect to work for it

Its too early in the game to start chopping and changing drop rates. Give it another month or two when more people are actively hunting in these areas and we will see an influx of books.

This is the age old issue of shooting off ahead of everyone else to high levels, you hit a brick wall as kit availability dries up!
