Boss Drops

[deanouk23]

So not a moan thread. Just wanna know other peoples views.

So you go bossing, you camp a couple of bosses, how often would you say you actually get anything?

For me, I tend to find I just spend my time killing bosses over and over again for nothing. When you finally do get a red, it will id into something useless.

Now i'm not going to say nothing ever drops because that's just not the case. I'm just starting to find it extremely boring nowadays. I've noticed recently that next to nothing decent is for sale, Hence the thread.

I'm 131 atm and have been bossing non stop doing almost 80% on just bosses. Built a spread sheet for my drops. Only track sellable unids and items that sell for gg.
156 iku = grand belt
97 leoric king = flawed ruby/chipped almandine
112 Savage wt = nada
244 tyrant = fire frenzy
12 new troll = nada

Haven't been able to actually upgrade my kit from drops in 2 months going from 121-131.

I know I've been unlucky as 1 lagout caused me to drop a necky, basically negating all those drops entirely. Be nice to know I can upgrade my kit or get a book every so often without the need of donating for drop pots/tele rings etc.

This what i'm on about. far too much killing for little to no reward. I get some stuff needs to be rare, but right now it seems we kill everything on repeat for nothing. Why are nub bosses still dropping as if the items are rare?

Surely increasing the rates would only help/encourage lower level players to actually play.

Caves keep getting mob decreases to the point that most places have 300 mobs a floor or under. This is by far the most irritating bit about this server I absolutely hate the scarce mob count. I can only assume it's because arc and p69 and probably Rota are on the same server.

Some times it's nice to have a change. But you don't really get a choice anymore due to the limited number of mobs in most caves.

This is a big reason why I only come back for events, then lose interest in a month or 2 and do something else.

I get the need for items like crystal/cele being rare as their like the heaven arm variants to the level. Standard items are so rare to have above 4 star you have to have loads just to take the chance on rolling them. Then cash is so scarce you can't build upon that. I've said it before but the server seems designed to keep you in the pay 2 win or suffer mode. Leveling on a war can be dismal, even with frost frenzy. Feels like your taking a step forward to take 2 backwards.

I'd have to agree. Gold prices right now are way high. But he removed rd, which was a big source of gold. Gold bars people asking 40-50 gg a bar.

Seem's like were just supposed to play and grind exp all day everyday.

Excellent post bud realy does help state what we are trying to explain here .

We have a warrior in guild who has been grinding sunken temple every night for atleast 2 weeks just trying to get himself the berserk skill .... this alone ends up driving new players away as they ask me where did I get certain spells and I have to be honest with them and tell them that 80% of my spells I had to buy from GG shop

PS the war grinding sunken tempted even donated to get GG to buy stone to make a pet to help him hunt which didn't evolve and has waited over 2 weeks from this to get fixed , surprice he still has pations for the game lol

Guess who Will be the next person getting the uber drop on Arcadia. Nerd or Creemy Jokes aside. I agree with you. Got abit bored after last event aswell. Didnt Think that would happend but in 3-4 years i got two realy rare drops to count for. HCA and one celestial item. This is when i boss solo hunt. On event i got loads of good stuff and even made some GG ( must ment someone ells spent) Seems to me market was healthy during event.

I should start making a list like this, I haven't really bothered to record my drops but I feel like I've been relatively lucky compared to what most people on this thread seem to have experienced.

For me it's not just about camping a handful of bosses hoping for 1 mega drop, but focus on the bread and butter, I get a lot of gems/orbs and small crystals that sell for enough to cover my pots and repairs, then any items I get (I actually end up with a lot of items) are mostly normal/white which I can often sell for a couple of million, then occasionally get some decent ID which gets salvaged, which I mostly use the des/ess I create. It does get a bit exhausting at times, but the bread and butter for me has been much more productive than any individual boss drop, allowing me to buy the big ticket items I want without having to donate too much

 

[2dark_2teh1]

Yeah server is stale it's not a secret, events bring people back for a bit but never too long.

No server lasts forever though I guess.

The entrie starting experience needs revamped for one thing. So people don't feel the need to camp for weeks or donate just to get twindrake blade.

Agree 100% but end game needs a revamp. Shouldn't be lvl 165 and need to hunt flowers to make gold.

The thing is even if you get a lvl 150 wiz item you will be happy, hence why your kit is so shit for your lvl. Tbh the way you level you should have 100% celes kit or 100% HC kit. Just be truthful and accept the fact that DROPS need get changed.

 

[UnKnownAngel]

Agree I came back during xmas event loved it thought this is it Arcadia is back... not even 10 days into january I was already bored shitless. I feel like turning on the pc to log in is a waste of electricity at this point

Different people have different priorities. I'm not gonna get lured into going all defensive about my kit (too much) , but what I can say is 100% of the people who have better kit than me have either been camping bosses longer than I've been on the server or have spent significant real money. I'm satisfied with what I have, and I'm out to please myself not anyone else

 

[deanouk23]

See we have recently had loki added. Problem being is its actually ridiculous . But the Italians who quit moons ago would make light work of it, so it's OK. Basically the content added is useless to the current player base. Is pb and Rd going to be the same.

This isn’t the p69 forum.... are you special?

 

[deanouk23]

P69 should be hosted on a server based on its own income. instead of leeching resources from arcadia, maybe we would have more mobs that way.
