Black Belt items [dev1009]

Think what you will gokku just makes you that much more ignorant.

Enjoy being surpassed by the next generation of monks who realized the error of your flawed ways

I'm honestly confused as to what you could possibly think Twilight has over any real Mnk belt. Since when is 23% Gear Haste better than 26%? Or are you capping haste by giving up AF3+2 feet and full set bonus too?

I'm not seeing how the old system was good for anyone that still needs black belt. The claims of 'a monk could get lucky and claim adamantoise and potentially be done with 1/3rd of it' are not looking at total time spent.

Its a 6% drop rate. The average camp is 90 minutes. That means if you get every single claim you will spend an average of 25 hours getting your egg. But you won't claim 100% of them. You might claim 50%. You will also lose some due to it popping during sleep/school/work times. More likely you are looking at 50+ hours doing the nq. HQ, of course, skews that, but then again the hq can't be soloed so you will have to convince people to come stand around and do nothing with you for a chance to fight it.....assuming it pops in the 6ish hours people aren't asleep/at work.


Under the new system you get two chances to get it, the KS fight and the HQ. Nobody knows how the loot distribution will be, but even if its 33% from the HQ you are looking at a 50% chance to get it from that cycle.


And the absolute best thing about this is for those willing to buy the items. The items are not for sale on my server at any price because the only people camping are other monks. After all, there is no other reason to kill faf/turtle. But now instead of buying for huge prices (the same guy has been offering 5M on Siren for Beard for 2 months) you can buy KS orbs off every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Just take your emp farming group and spend a night doing them. You spent 500k buying Jaculus Wings for your monk body +2 items, spend 500K for a ks99 orb from someone and get your black belt.

As a mnk who already has a Black Belt, i'd say this is ALOT better then before. No more competing with HNMlss. No more nights where you have to wake up in the middle of the night to cheak that window. People can complain all they want about pop NMs, at least now you guys can slowly work your way up to getting Black Belt, or spam it like crazy with all the KSs some people have horded over the years. And to the people who complain about not being able to solo them, seriously go get some friends.

@Gokku Just because you have a Black Belt doesn't mean you should act like an ass to everyone who still doesn't have it. Of course with the way you post, you will probably just ignore this post, or say I'm a gimp mnk or something.

@Dfoley Saying you will surpass Gokku is fine and all (honestly who cares if you beat him or not), but saying that while using Twilight Belt doesn't help you.....

Now this is pure speculation, but couldn't there be a chance that the "new" items that drop off the KS99s to pop the NQs actually be the BB items?

That could explain why the NQs would no longer drop the BB items and why the HQs have a decreased chance. That would also mean at least 1 BB item would be dropped with possibilities of multiple drops off KS99. Now that would make my MNK happy! But what are the odds of that really happening?

KS99 already had a chance to drop BB items. This basically gives them a 2nd chance at it.

I know, but the point I was making was that there might be a possibility that the new pop items for the NQs could be the actual BB items, hence changing their drop rate in a KS99 from very poor to 100% with chance for multiples. That would be ideal.

I highly doubt its the BB items themselves since that would mean if the kings dropped the item, you can technically pop the NQs again for another HQ. And why would you want to go for a HQ when you can just simply use the 2nd drop give to someone else who wants a BB item?

I might do 23% haste on ninja just to 5/5 af3+2 and then still cap attack speed with dual wield gear.

[Dohati]

yes, this is very good for people who already were doing ksnm99. for those who wanted to camp the NMs though, they're just screwed.
