crafts mats out of boss loot in 2.28

[XzaviyrVL]

I know there is already a thread similar to this, but I'm at work and don't feel like searching for it. Any way, SE please move crafting materials from the boss chests in the the new HM's! People gearing/leveling new jobs just don't need them that bad. Keep them in side chest by all means so that obtaining them remains an option; but it's unnecessary for them to appear in boss drops. Not to mention they're all available from the GC vendor now. With all the atma farming I'm sure people can afford them. C'mon SE, 2.28 let's make it happen lol!

Yeah other thread was mine and end up getting trolled by people that don't need gear and prefer to get cooking sherry or void sent blood so they can vendor after...
I really feel sorry for anyone that does need gear to bridge the gap, though I will admit seen alot more DL drops over the last week, not sure if it was RNG or a ninja increase, but crafting mats should never come from bosses, let them come from side chests like in WP and AK
Is almost an insult downing a boss to get cooking sherry which sells for less on MB than vendor buys for

Filtered water, cooking sherry, minium are the bane of my victory when i click on that loot button after painfully healing a messy party.
The feeling is like
"Yay.. Vendor time.. "
Or
" * clicks pass " (((((
I wished they would only put dl, vanity 70, and other non wtf cooking sherry items in the main chest path and leave out all the yuck wtf ones on the side.

The best thing wouldn't be to get craft mats OUT of boss chests, but to get progression gear INTO boss chests. Chests can yield more than one item, after all - just ensure that boss chests have a 100% chance of containing a piece of gear, and a possibility of containing craft mats as well.

This will help keep crafting mats flowing into the marketboards (yeah, some are too worthless to MB, but some still sell well), whereas the flow would pretty much stop if the mats were limited to side chests that no one bothers with.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's not that folks are offended to be getting these mats, but that they're annoyed that they're NOT getting gear? I assume you wouldn't be satisfied if SE moved all mats to side chests, but left the drop rate of gear the same (i.e., half the time you open the chest and the chest is empty). So the problem isn't presence of mats, but of lack of gear.

Snip.

This would be fine. Or like the second boss of Brayflox gives two chest; one should be a guaranteed gear drop. They could make all bosses give two chests, or two items per chest as you proposed.

still waiting for my chest piece but only get lame crafting mats out of the last boss.....T_T

@lineage yeah it's the issue with you down a boss and no gear whatsoever drops, just vendor items, the water, sherry and void blood sell for like 10g on Mb yet some prefer that to gear, which at least can be traded in for seals if you win on greed roll and don't need it
Their should never been a case of bosses only dropping crafting items, just doesn't make sense, in WP and AK to get them items you had to open side chests

agreed. it doesn't even really make sense from an RPG/lore perspective either. Congrats, you beat Diabolos, demon god, master of gravity, destroyer of light. For eons he has guarded his treasure buried in the hidden city. Your reward, for defeating this fiend of fiends, is locked in an old, gold rimmed treasure chest. Lo and behold! Ye have received.. filtered water. What, did Diabolos raid an AquaDeco factory or something?

Diabolos only drinks FIJI water.

They really need to do crafting dailies in this game and provide a currency where crafters can buy these materials from a vendor.

The grand company/seals materials are a step in the right direction but they should build on this, maybe have high level crafting materials on the beast tribes also.
