Hamlet defense feedback from a top 20 provisioner: Critical problems and solutions

[Duuude007]

This is true, but if you are DoM/DoW only and want a militia item from a hamlet that you arent a member of . . . kind shit out of luck :/

I honestly expect the militia items to be at all 3 hamlets.

I dont. The current trend supports the items being split up, especially considering they're random drops.

Hyrstmill drops 2 DoH tools, 1 DoL tool and 1 DoL hat, among other various equipment. The trend for the other two would be 3 DoH tools, 1 DoL tool and 1 DoL hat, among other various equipment. This would cover all available classes.

People with DoW/M classes from nations that don't drop the items they want always have the option of trading/buying them from other players. They are unique but not untradable.

This part is not true, they have not revealed how any of the DoL hats will be earned. it will not even be ingame until 1.22a.

Is it possible the Botany hat is already in game but just very rare drop from Hyrstmil?

I think you're still missing the point.

We're on the same page about that; but maybe talking about different things.

TheVedis said he wanted multiple top 20's in his group to (as a group) get more rewards. Molly replied that multiple top 20's don't get you more points. My reply was that in that senario, it's not points they are even worried about, but getting multiple extra chances.

[Duuude007]

Yeah its viable in theory that a good 8 man pt with 8/8 provisioners would get 8 equal chances for drops. Getting such a party together in practice is much, much less likely.

It's in the 1.22 patch notes. All things in the official patch notes are IN the game right now.

Hamlet Cutter's Hat Required Level: 50／Requires: BTN

Now I'll admit that I've yet to actually see one but it is in the game. What's the only hamlet defense in the game currently? Hyrstmill. The others are up on most of the item database sites yet they're mysteriously missing from the patch notes. Also it's called a Hamlet Cutter's Hat, where would you think one would find it?

[Duuude007]

No need to talk down at me, I am aware at what was in the patch notes. The catch is, reps already said the hats will be 1.22a-accessable content. Whether the item exists in the dats or not.

[Zdenka]

Said the "Angler" type hat would be 1.22a, theres no confirmation either way if the botany hat looks the same.

Anyways Duuude, check out the Achievements ingame; it shows Hamlets go up to Level 5 (2 achievements mention it). Its quite possible none of these items drop on Level 1 or Level 2.

And if it is Score based, Level 5 should theoretically allow you to gain over 100,000 points which may be the drop threshhold (Level 4 could make that also).

But since they set the max to Level 2 its possible if this is the case, that the items will not be available until they decide to unlock the higher tiers.

Which won't happen until at least May 10th, when 1.22a goes live. So that point is moot.

Small correction here- it was discovered during the 2nd reset that both achievements marked "level 5" can actually be done at level 1 as well, so it could be a typo. So in all honesty we do not know for certain how high it will go quite yet.
