[DEV 1009] Kings update, drop rates.

[wish12oz]

Savory Shank 5%

*face palm*

ya, it's terrible, it's why I made this thread!

20 KS 99's per King is ridiculous!
In the entire time I've been playing since NA PC Launch, I have acquired enough kindred seals to get 1.5 King pops. How is this even remotely acceptable?

Actually..... You said that, not me.

You can't read what's being discussed. You link to a discussion where a guy asked if mix and match mdt/ earth resist was better than pure earth resist, hence why part of the damage is being resisted. If you actually read what I said, which you clearly did NOT, you'll noticed that "barspell from a PIMP whm + cruor buff + adle" puts exaclty at floor resist rate at which point anything on gear/atma/carol contribute to resisting. So yeah, there is no way you resist anything while wearing ZERO resist gear or atma or carols .

Why lose TP when you don't have to?
Also: you are the one arguing that you should give up a DD atma for a resistance atma, thus lowering your kill speed much more then swapping to an earth staff, why is the thought of killing 10 seconds slower suddenly funny to you? Or am I understanding this incorrectly, and what you are trying to say is that killing slow is ok, because efficiency is a bad thing.

I think you are new to the game because there is abosultely nothing that you DD inside abyssea beside low tier NQ mob that die before you get 100 TP. Almost every NM is done by gimping yourself procing it with weak weapons and weak spells, weak weapon skill and such. Giving up "DD" atma on a mob like tunga is lol at best. You spent 5 minutes procing it while turning your back and then bam it procs, two ws later it's dead. Because 15% TA rate does SO MUCH when you are facing away from the mob. Jesus.

So it can be done? COOL!
Now quit arguing against yourself.

You're just doing it wrong. I DD everything.

Floors means 5% so I'm not sure what you r" It can be done means" ... It means the in the best scenario you don't resist anything because your magic eva is to low. Which means that you are wrong obviously.

You're just doing it wrong. I DD everything.

Even when perma slowed and perma stoned on tunga ? ww

I don't know how I am wrong when all I am doing is quoting what you said, which is that with barspells, cruor buffs and maybe addle you get the following result:

"When you sum up it works as if you take 67% of the maximum damage, which you pair with shell5 for about -25% which ends up being equivalent to : 50% mdt."

How is that a 5% resist rate? and why are you changing your answer to 5 now?

And I haven't fought tunga trying to proc red since level 85, I'm sure its a lot easier now.

For once I will actually agree with this OP lol...

If they wanted to make King's "easier" so to speak, they should have just lowered the spawn timer in half for all of them. And if people would still hate that because they don't like to claim NM's, then just fix the drop rates for the BCNM.

SE has whacky views on how to patch up old content, now that 99% of Abyssea gear totally blows everything else out of the water. Not to mention there's still 10 Lv's to go, and Defending Ring might just have a superior clone by then.

[SNK]

I'll try to explain it to you with simple words.

No matter how much you try and argue Pchan, you're not as smart as you think you are. That small little island where you feel like you're never wrong keeps getting smaller and smaller each time the tide that's your mouth keeps coming in.

This week my LS did 3 KS99 Behemoth and 7 KS99 Wyrm. We were lucky on the BC and got 2 tongues as well as the HQ pop item from the NM 1/3. With Wyrm we got 1 Beard but 0/7 on HQ pop/Ridill from Fafnir. I am astounded at the terrible drop rate of the HQ pop item as it should have been around 20-25%. BB items are now made more rare by the NQ NM no longer dropping it and the 5% chance you get the HQ pop item it is no longer 100%. Mix all this with the lack of availability to even obtain KS's SE has really dropped the ball on this one. I hated the old system because of the bots that were used to monopolize it but damn ... this is not the answer. I had 10 75's pre abyssea and solo'd more exp than most could stand. After years of KS30's Im left with 500 ish KS's. In other words I will likely never see another Nidhogg or Aspid and will have only one more chance to kill KB.

[Rorald]

would be nice if we could get some feedback on this issue.

What is with all this lack of gaining KSs, did they remove them from the birds right outside of white gate. Exp parties were never the best way to get seals. Its easier now seeing how you can do it with you social LS and not suck up to some HNM LS leader and hope you get the scraps.
