GIVE UP MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF GIL BECAUSE THE DEV TEAM DECIDED THAT ONLY 5 IN A HUNDRED PEOPLE SHOULD GET A CHANCE AT MAYBE GETTING AN ITEM OR ELSE YOU'RE A WHINY BABY

why can't i just quote this and not say anything D:

I agree with SPATHOS OR W.E

Keeping these mobs rare is stupid. Just decrease BB drop if it's that important.

All other drops besides dring (and even that) aren't even that useful anymore. I hate the logic of this stupid company.
LETS KEEP GIMP RELICS AND GIMP KING GEAR RARE AND HARD TO GET but make some incredibly overpowered, amazing weapons and armor ridiculously convienant and easy to obtain.

Seriously gtfo. Thats the main reason I quite. The logic of this company makes me wanna vomit. The gear is gimp so stop pretending you have any reason to hold these mobs/drops to any value. The only thing about it that's really a must have and amazing is black belt..

I don't have my egg yet and I would like a d.ring. ill give it a shot with the seals I have and if don't get tthen oh well no big loss. Sounds like some of you guys would like se to make d.ring actually obtainable without extreme luck. What is going to be left in the game that is rare or hard to obtain? Already relics are faster so now the real rarity is multiple relics. Another good trophy item would be dw mythic and relic .

lolwut? Tonnes of LS have closed up shop and resort to low man farming because they simply dont have the members showing up all the time to help get currency. More relics? Bull.

[Bumbeen]

Exactly. They are low value so give them value as being rare instead.

People defending the drop rate: are you aware how terrible it is? If we assume it is 10% (and most estimate ~5%), you need on average

99 * 10 = 990 Kindred Seals for ONE HQ pop which can drop you just Dfeet/just Mbody/etc and no Black Belt item. If we assume it's 5%, which most people think is closer to the truth, 1980 Kindred Seals per HQ pop. Do you think that is anywhere near reasonable?

This sums up my feelings.
Wanting them to be rare is fine, but 5-10% drop rate is just way to low. 1000->2000 KS is just to much for any normal player to be expected to get, and that's just for a CHANCE that the HQ will even drop the piece you want from it.
In all honesty you will need to farm 2-3 HQ pops if you're trying to get a specific piece off of it, so 3000->6000 seals.
Or 20 if you want a d ring, which is 40,000 seals.

On average, don't forget to add that.

To be honest, I don't buy any of this garbage about keeping these types of items rare considering many of the same people were likely involved in the Salvage duping controversy some years ago. There's no logical reason now for Black Belt items to be kept so rare other than to placate so-called "hardcore" clowns who are so insecure about their "trophies" not having any meaning. It's way past time for S-E's developers to stop catering to these people's egos--not to mention their own--and give Monks a fair shot at completing this old quest.

[Bumbeen]

Black belt isn't rare nor is it supposed to be. Difficult quest sure, but it's no trophy item like d.ring.
