Item drops in relation to exp ...

Well you see, the exp is 8x or something?
therefore 1 month in-game is equivalent to 8 months on euro?

So in the 3 months or so that the server has been out ...

Would equate to 24months (2years) of euro?

When you look at it in those terms, i don't think too much has dropped?

Maybe you could have bosses spawn twice as much but drop half as much?
this would require twice the pots and time, therefore reducing the overall quantity of items available?

Am i making sense?

As an example:
If 8 ES spawned every 2 hours instead of a single ES with 8x droprate. it would require 8x the pots to get that 8x droprate ... just as an example.. Im not suggesting we fill ZTKR with 8x ZT as it would become nigh impossible.

ES Doesnt require pots to most wizards, Pick up off floor sustain forever.

Boss ratesa re fine. Drops are already too much tbfh. We have had like 4 Boundless and 4 Thunders in the last day or so.

You missed his point, lower the drop rate and spawn the bosses more often. Could work would lead to more fighting over bosses as people would always be there and make it hard to farm lots of bosses at the same time.

Its all good comparing it to euro but this server doesnt have the player count that euro had. Its not hard to get a mace on this server, it was on Euro as an example. To me drops are too high on this server for the amount of players there are. There are already lots of items in junk shop that because they drop far too much. There are items that will be heading for junk shop soon as well.

Yeah the drops do need to be reduced. Generally if you managed to get a powering / titan / soulnek / dbells that sort or item you would be happy. Now your lucky to sell them for 100k on the MP....

I don't mind those sort of items dropping a bit more frequently

However we are up to 3/4 Heaven armours ingame now and a fair number of DSS (No Soul Sabres?)

I believe that was what we were told.
Certain items still need to tweaked further within that though or have a global drop rate for all bosses

Speaking of which Milo is saying the the skill Curse has the same drop rate as FlameField. Look how many of those 2 are in game now.

Its probably the coin theory, although it seems the bad side is tao side, always .,.
