King Arthro

[Ryanx]

I was woundering because land kings pop metheds been changed. I was woundering if would be posable to change spawn conditions for king arthro.

[Daniel_Hatcher]

land kings was made much worse than originally. I'd rather they left NM's alone if that's their fix.

Yeah, they were made much worse... for the botters.

.... yeah, right!

High reward ratio for claim (easy even without bots)
1. 99 seals ~20% drop rate.
1. Get random claim ~30% drop rate
2. get random HQ claim 100% drop rate

to

Rare reward ratio for ridiculous 99 KS pop:
1. ~5% drop rate on item 100% on pop for NQ NM
2. ~5% drop rate on HQ pop item and 0% drop rate on belt item
3. Pop HQ ~15% drop rate

So do tell how it's easier now than before.

Why are you even complaining about King Arthro?
This has to be a troll thread. Velocious belt is useless. And you could farm cruor in abyssea and blinker it for gil and buy a speed belt faster than SE would make changes to KA. They aren't even implementing the stuff they said they would months ago on time. Last thing they need is to update content no one even cares about.

Point of note: Last week some friends and I did some Hahavas, one day we went there and knight crabs were sitting up, and we killed KA while waiting for people. Next day we didnt go to Hahava, day after that we went back to do more, and you know what? Knight crabs were up. This was about 36~ hours after we had killed KA, which means they sat up for almost a whole day unkilled.

* BCNM/NQ Wyrm and Behemoth can be duod or even solod. Turtle takes more people, but only because of his regen.
* KS can be obtained by converting 3 of another kind to 1 KS.

Changing the HNM spawn system was a good thing, it has been a warzone for many years and created plenty of animosity. BB belt items could have been handled better, but you can buy the drops for 1-2mil if someone wants to make a few easy gils.

I'm aware, I soloed the Behemoth on BST myself, The convert system was another thing awfully implemented.

"Hey want a way to convert those items that are the same difficulty to get, Well cool!!! Give us 3 and you can have 1. 1:2 would have been much better"

(SCH owns the turtle by the way add a BLM and create a skillchain and you destroy it, Regen V just guarantee's it.)

It didn't really need changing. In changing it, they killed the HQ drop rate and reduced the BCNM one. Making the HQ pop less than 50% was one of the WORST decisions SE made.

Um, because you can force pop it...

You had a force pop BCNM before, with a better drop rate than now.
