Crafting Materials in Roulette

[Rubberman]

I agree with the point that seeing crafting materials from the majority of the treasure chests is quite depressing. And since I have been hunting around the forums to see the general consensus. Flat out removing the crafting materials from the new Expert Roulette dungeons is not a solution. So here are a few I can suggest.

1. Add an extra chest to each of the boss fight rewards that only drops gear. And the other chest will only have crafting materials. This way every boss in dungeon will drop at least on piece of gear, and craft mat.
2. Remove crafting materials from the boss fight reward chests and have them in the chests scattered about the dungeon. The potion chests are normally ignored entirely when I run dungeons. But if someone wants a crafting material from it then feel free to grab the chest.

I personally think option one is the better of the two and the easiest thing to implement. It would satisfy both types of players the crafters and people like me who are just looking for new glamour or trying to gear another class. This can also be applied to all previously released dungeons and ones that have yet to be released.

Feel free to post your own opinions or suggestions below. We are looking for solutions to the problem and constructive criticism.

This is a viable solution. Bosses should drop gear, while the rest of the chests should do crafting mats. I'm not sure why they even drop potions because no one uses them.

This is how every dungeon should have been. I dont want to run a dungeon 20 times before i finally see one piece of armor drop, and it then being something i didnt even want or need. I havent seen a single piece of Darklight Gear even once in the past two weeks, yet i saw animal fat and water just about every run.

I understand this restriction might be in place due to being allowed to turn armor in for Seals now, and this might give you too much of them too quickly. But that should not be a reason to make inferior armor (for glamour) this rare.

I just ran Stone Vigil Hard Mode, not a single piece of gear. Every boss chest was crafting Mats, this is depressing

It's not even viable for people to gear from these dungeons. They'd have to run them an excessive number of times to get even a couple items for their set.

At least in the old expert there was a bigger loot table of gear (DL and green) so there were higher chances of getting gear.

That's the thing, you get 50 myth per dungeon now, heck, you get 100+ from others even not counting the bonuses. So between 4 and 8 runs give you a guaranteed piece of I90 gear of your choice. And here it takes atleast 20 runs to even SEE a i70 piece drop that would be useless, if it's even a piece you can wear and/or want. Now this wouldnt be a problem if Darklight for instance could be bought through other means with Myths (or heck, bring back Philo), but you cant. There's no stepping stone, people are doing dungeons in a mix of i90 and i45-50 gear. Instead of being able to atleast temporarily upgrade to i70.

Well that is my 5th day in a row now where my Expert Roulette dungeon has given me 4 crafting mats as loot.

This! please this, so much! The second option is what I'd prefer most, but I could live with the 1st option. There are still pieces of the i70 gear I've NEVER seen drop. Please SE fix this because it's just discouraging honestly. I've taken to leveling another alt class, because I'd rather do that than to farm dungeons for Animal fat and filtered water while I'm locked out of other end game content(one way or another).

6th day in a row I've gotten 4 crafting mats from all chests in SV....

This is a fantastic idea OP!
