  • OK I am asking this here since it will become a scream

    Does it seem like the drop rates for various gems has been reduced? Two weeks ago, everytime we went to Dulak at the treasure sorters we would wind up with at least one blue diamond, a couple sapphires and star rubies and some other gems in a two hour session (killing both treasure houses and keeping up with spawn rate). Wyverns in CS would drop a quest gem about 1 in maybe 7 kills. Maybe it is just the RNG again, but it really seems like the drop rates have been reduced from about the 4/23 patch.

    Other friends have reported the same thing and added Velks to the list.

    Is it just bad luck or did something change?

    May just be bad luck. I was getting one gem in 7 to 10 kills CS.

      I spent a bit of time in my new favorite LoY hunting spot last night; in eight kills I got a mithril amulet, a sapphire, a star ruby, and a fire opal.

      My guess is that the RNG is at work.

        Cool, I guess Modnar, the goddess of the RNG, gives and takes - I got really lucky with my eighth shawl combines, so I guess I am balancing that with reduced materials drops. I just wish my balance wasn't affecting the people I group with.

          Rebmun would so totally OWN Modnar.
